– Outsunny 13 x 11ft Metal Garden Shed, Waterproof Outdoor Bike Storage Shed Galvanised with Vents, Foundation Kit, Apex Roof and Lockable Double Doors for Patio Lawn, Light Brown

I really think this is a brilliant shed for the money. Abit of a faff to assemble but it's square and sturdier than I thought it would be. In the middle of winter and no condensation inside the shed either which I was expecting with a metal shed. Instructions are good too. All parts are marked so you can assemble easily too. Really happy customer would recommend. I should add although I'm happy with the shed people could break into it (like they could any shed) so expect to buy a few extras to make more secure.

You'll need minimum of 3 physically agile people, who possess a brilliant sense of humour & the patience of a Saint or two.. Only attempt to assemble on a dry zero wind day, if your brave enough & enjoy a challenge... Allow up to 3 days to errect & disemble and re arrect until you figure out how it all should line up.. A degree in engineering to assemble, would help...instructions absolutely useless...you need to write your own...literally! The quality flimsy...thin metal! I would never purchase again...decided not to send it back, due to the effort in organising people to help and finally get it up...the thought of disembling & trying to repackage it, just wasn't an option...filled me with dread! It was an absolute nightmare... When it's a windy rainy day it leaks...dreadful design....extremely disappointed....certainly not a cheap purchase...had to buy buckets and tarpaulins to cover the contents inside & catch some of the rain water, constantly pouring in...lots of items stored totally ruined, due to water damage....the sliding entrance doors refuse to meet up flush...rain goes through the gap....door handles cheap & nasty plastic...easy to break in...padlock waste of time... Not expecting it to withstand another Winter...such poor quality! The previous metal shed we had from a different company and far superior quality " Similar price & size" is still standing with zero problems 17 years on....sadly left it at our old house & couldn't remember were we bought it from...

OK, let’s get straight to the nitty gritty. This is an aluminium shed with thin walls and pressed aluminium structure. When I unpacked it seemed really flimsy, however it is the structure that binds the whole thing together. Once the walls are built with the surrounding top frame, the rigidity increases massively. Once the roof is on, the structure is absolutely solid. There are many reviews on here saying holes don’t match up. I had no problems whatsoever but it is important to note this should be built on a solid even ground. If your base is uneven I can see where problems would arise. I built this on an existing patio which was flat and level. All of the holes did match up, but then again I am an engineer, so never tighten anything fully until the next piece is ready, and that is definitely the trick with this one. Take your time, don’t tighten anything fully until each section is in place, this allows a degree of movement. The holes will line up if you build with this attitude. This does require some degree of competence to build. I happen to be an engineer so built it methodically. The instructions are poor and take some studying but nothing too tricky. This being said, I would not recommend to someone who is not technically minded. Overall, not too bad. I do have a few cuts to my fingers as some of those edges are sharp! I bought this as a temporary shed whilst I build my garden room, it will definitely do for me, however if you’re looking for something long term it maybe advisable to go for something with a bit more quality. At the end of the day, it’s a 9ft x 6ft aluminium shed for £230. I calculated the cost to build my own out of timber and the cost was over £600. Hope this helps.

I bought this for extra storage, I read reviews on here before purchasing, what I can say about this shed is they aren't expensive and for an extra shed for outdoor storage they are well worth the price, you do need to be somewhat DIY friendly to build it and it does say two people, I built it on my own, but I would recommend two people for sure, the shed feels very thin and flimsy on initial unboxing and the screws and bolts are really small but once constructed and screwed down to the hard base it is surprising how solid and sturdy it is, the panels dent easily so avoid hitting them with tools or ladders, but this is well worth the money and I give it 5 Stars, if you are looking for solid structure stick to bricks or wood but this is a very good budget alternative, the instructions are sometimes vague but any wrong assembly is easily rectified by re assembly, all in all one of my better purchases, don't be put of by reviews you read as everyone has different skills completing DIY projects, if you're confident you'll get there don't rush and enjoy, just look out for sharp edges on tin and if possible wear some gardening gloves, but it's not easy bolting and screwing the panels with them.

Great shed when correctly assembled but it is a pain in the bum to put together as the instructions are not the best. Had a few problems with holes in the wrong places (a 2.5mm drill is handy) which of course meant I had to seal the holes. Although the instructions say it takes two people four to six hours, it took me and my wife a full day. To really secure it you need to instal as floor as it does not come with one. That said it does the job and takes all my 'crap' with space to spare. For the price its a good shed!

Let’s face it, the instruction’s claim that this can be assembled by 2 people within 3 hrs is rather fanciful. More like 3 days! However it’s still a great shed. The positives: 1) The shed looks nice. Well far nicer than we expected. We went for metal (as opposed to wood or plastic) for the fact we could get a larger shed for cheaper, so we can fit all our bikes in. We were therefore initially prepared to compromise on the look so we were pleasantly surprised with the appearance. 2) Size. Similar to the above the shed is fairly large and can easily fit in 4 or 5 bikes. It’s just possible to stand in the middle but it’s not the sort of shed you’d stay in for long anyway - more a storing kind of shed. 3) Price. It’s very good value for money when you start looking at the price of similarly sized wooden or plastic sheds. 4) Security. This is an ‘odd’ one but again an unexpected benefit is that it’s too noisy to steal from. We set up security cameras, padlocks, chains and so on then realised opening the sliding doors is so loud that you’ll wake half the neighbourhood up if you choose to park your bike in there after around 7pm! The negatives: Only one really which is the construction. I’m sure this is mentioned countless times elsewhere in product reviews but if you’ve grown accustomed to IKEA assembly instructions you’re not going to be happy. To cut a long story short the labelling of the various pieces with codes is fine but the illustrations are very poorly executed. Often it’s impossible to decipher what piece goes where by looking at the diagrams and it becomes quicker to ignore the drawings and use trial and error. The total assembly time was around 12 hours over 3 days. Of course, some will be faster and, certainly some will be even slower than us. In conclusion- Fiddly pieces, very poor illustrations in the instructions and vastly more time needed to assemble than the 3 hrs they claim. Very nice look (in our opinion), secure due to the excessive noise when opening/closing which would surely put off any would-be thief (the noise could also be a disadvantage I suppose), good price and good size. Would we buy another one if we need more storage space? The short answer is yes. Would we pay someone else to build it if we could go back in time? Yes, definitely!

This was an absolute nightmare. I'm generally very good at diy, but putting this together would test Bob the Builder. Reviews said it should take around 2 hours. Took us 8. Instructions are awful, can't make it the drawings and have to figure out out. I managed to somehow only put two things in the wrong place but was far along the process and had to go back to undo them just as you simply couldn't make them out from the Instructions. Screws are tiny. Roof was a nightmare and doors are still to be fixed as I've no clue how to put them on. Structurly it's not bad and it looks well but be warned it's a nightmare to put up

Bought this to keep a motorbike in over the winter. Good points. It has held up quite well so far, lasting through storms and heavy rain etc. Rain runs off the roof, doesn’t collect. Easy to build, but allow 4+ hours if building alone. Negative points. Is low in height. I’m 6ft and I can’t stand up in it. Unsure of height exactly but would guess around 5ft at the sides. No floor comes with it, so keep that in mind. I put down a damp proof membrane, then some OSB to create a floor. Not required but keeps it warmer. Doors don’t fully seal when pulled shut. Easy fix with a rubber strip and some silicone if it bothers you. All in all, really good for the price. Just be warned that the panels are sharp, so wear gloves from the off.
