Outsunny 7 x 4ft Metal Garden Shed Waterproof Galvanised Apex Roof Grey

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.

If I could leave 0 stars I would this shed was an absolute nightmare to put up took 5 days instructions don’t make any sense you can’t see the parts properly to you have to wing it lots of pieces was bent the metal is very very sharp things don’t line up the doors don’t close properly and very wobbly it leaks it’s not worth the money and the shed is not stable it constantly rattles with the slightest bit of wind the floor base does not match up so can’t be used and because the pieces are all bent it does not sit flush on the floor causing rain to come in from the bottom and it comes in from all the parts that are connected and the vents it’s not a good shed I definitely wouldn’t recommend buying a metal shed I would invest in a wooden one next time maybe a small one might be okay but big size defo not ! I paid a lot of money for this shed and I would never again I wouldn’t even take if it was free

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.

Thought I better leave a review for this as there have been so many mixed reviews. First, it is complex, yes, there are many parts. Also the panels, before fitting, are very flimsy and dent/bend/twist easily. However if you take your time, lay out all the parts and identify them first then it is quite straightforward. I would also suggest a dry run on all parts to confirm correct method before assembly. Unfortunately help was not available to assemble, I was able to assemble by myself in three days with the help of two apex ladders,- and I am 68. However I required a fourth day to fit a floor [not provided] and essential - no wind or even breeze. A big negative is that half of one of those three days was taken up with removing the horrible protective film on some sheets, which is folded into many creases, That should change! It us easy to drop/lose screws, nuts etc. - but they provide more than enough. I would also recommend to use your own screwdriver with a magnetic head - theirs is cheap and non magnetic. Another tip - build the floor first even though they say last, that ensures the building is square and screws, bolts etc.. line up better on the rest.

Watched a you tube video to build this. Definitely need two people to assemble. Quite flimsy and wouldn't recommend this as so many bolts and nuts to.fix

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!

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...

Overall this shed is brilliant value for money. The build quality once finished is good and it serves its purpose of storing things and keeping it dry. Metal sheds have its pros and cons and for me, I thought the instruction manual could be better as trying to understand the instructions can take a while. You need to be patient as it took me nearly a day and a half to complete it and I would consider myself a fairly competent DIY person. In addition, try not to lean really heavy objects against the shed as it's light steel and can come loose. You also need to consider the weather when you build as the metal sheets fly all over the place so it's sensible to have a helper with you. Overall, aesthetically it looks nice and for the price it's not a bad buy. You can add some C3 timber inside to reinforce if you're going to put heavy things in there and I would also recommend sealing corners and sides with silicone. I would recommend it but just be really patient and if you have a helper, you can probably build it in a day. Also be careful not to scratch the surface as that can comprise its resistance to rust. If you're on a budget, this is a good buy. Just very frustrating building it as its extremely fidly and its like making a jigsaw puzzle.

Happy with the product but the metal is very thin. Internal height is much smaller due to the beams. Installation took several days and not the few hours estimated in the instructions. It was a fun DIY project and allowed me to store the things destined for. Mix feelings about the see through piece of the roof. You better view but in the summer it gets hot! It appears to be more sturdy then what it is, but as long as no one bumps it or a branch falls on it, it does its job and looks good.

Bonne qualité et facile au montage, livraison rapide.

Le montage prend du temps à cause du nombre de pièces, mais celles-ci sont toutes correctement étiquetées, ce qui facilite grandement le montage et rend le fait de suivre le plan plus facile.
