AECOJOY Shed Lean to Storage Shed, Outdoor 6' x 8' Metal Wall Side Bike Shed & Outdoor Storage, Garden Storage Cabinet for Backyard, Patio and Outdoor Use in Dark Grey

I was looking for a larger lean-to shed to be placed on the South side of my house and selected this one… so glad that I did! Yes, putting a shed together is a pain in the 🤬, but it was worth it for this one! With the help of my dad and brother, we assembled the walls/door on day 1 and I installed the roof by myself on day 2.There were reviews complaining about the instructions being unclear, but we were able to decipher them without a problem. The screw/nut holes (for the most part) did align with the exception of the front and back roofing edge pieces. I just simply drilled a pilot hole thru the holes of the top pieces where they join. There were also a few holes on some of the roof panels where nothing attached to them, so I just placed a plastic washer with screw in these locations.As for stability… once completely assembled, it is extremely sturdy and the door aligns well (we did need to slightly bend the door molding piece in a little for the door to shut). We built a 6’ X 8’ wooden base made of 2x4s and attached it to 2 - 4x4 skids, then used 3/4” plywood for the floor. The base is solid and level and it was easy to secure the shed to it using deck screws. One thing to note is that the shed is a little longer than 8’. We solved this by simply adding another 2x4 on the back of the base. I added a pic of the wooden base to give others ideas.The hardware was sufficient and they do give you plenty of extra screws, nuts, bolts, and washers. So, if you drop some and can’t find them, don’t freak out! lol My only complaint is that it would have been nice had the shed come with a door handle. I plan on adding one to it at a later date. The latch works well and a padlock can be added for extra security.Overall, I’m quite pleased with the ease of construction, condition of materials, stability of the structure, and the shed looks beautiful!

The material thickness is very low quality , and directions are poor . Consider having more support for the roof since having only one cross bar is not sufficient enough . My husband had to create more support for the roof to be more secured and get ready to spend 5-6 hours if you are a construction engineer and if not it will take a bit longer. FYI !

I needed an inexpensive storage solution for e-bikes and some camping gear and considering the cost of this shed it just made sense. The shed arrived in two packages, both of which are heavy and awkward. I recommend having someone help you move them around. After opening the packages and arranging the components for assembly, I realized that the exterior panels were covered with protective plastic film and that I and anyone else that I could convince to help me would have to peel the plastic from all of the panels. I chose to peel prior to assembly as the panels overlap which would trap some of the film. To me this is really the most difficult aspect of assembly. I would say, pay close attention to where the pre drilled holes are. For example, the holes in the top horizontal frames are biased towards the top of the shed. Actual assembly required about four hours total. I built a base for the shed and added 8” curb walls and extended the door so that at 6’ 1” I could stand up inside. The tin is thin and dents easily upon impact. I will not have anyone playing stick ball in the backyard, so it should be fine. I sprayed foam insulation in the interior to keep the shed cooler in the summer. I wouldn’t recommend this shed in high snow load areas, unless additional support is added to the roof. A solar light inside and out makes the she more user friendly. Overall, for this price, a great deal with plenty of storage space!

Directions are very difficult. Pay attention to the pictures. If you don't you will be taking it apart 2 or 3 times until you get it right . Especially the floor track . If you don't postion them correctly the holes will not line up at all for the walls . Also leaks like crazy . The washers are very cheap . If you look really close at them they are diffrent on each side . I would imaging it is for the screws to seal correctly but they still do not . I tried the washes both ways . Still leaks . Also the screws do not tighten up at all . I had to use spray foam , silicone and brush rubber roofing coating to stop the leaks . It took me 3 full days to assemble it . It also took for 2 days to get most of the leaks stopped . Spend your money for a good one at you local hardware

The shed itself is solid once built, but getting there took some work. First off, removing the protective plastic film from each metal panel was a real pain—it took me a couple of hours. Definitely wear gloves, as the metal sheeting is very thin and the edges are sharp.Packaging was good, no missing parts and everything arrived intact. A few of the panels had bent corners, but they were easy to straighten out by hand or with some light pressure.The instructions weren’t the clearest, but I was able to follow along well enough. It took me over 6 hours total, spread over two days to fully assemble it. Not terrible, but plan for a weekend project if you’re doing it solo or without much help.After assembly, I added spray foam around the base to seal up the open gaps and help keep bugs out. It made a big difference in sealing things up.The shed looks great, and the storage space is just what I needed. I have a 6ft privacy fence, so it sits nicely in the backyard without standing out too much. One thing to note—the shed is very lightweight, so if you’re placing it on concrete like I did, make sure to anchor it down. Otherwise, a strong wind could shift or move it.Overall, not the most fun to set up, especially with the plastic removal, but once it’s done, it’s a great-looking and functional shed.

My son and I were able to build it in about an hour. It’s super easy to put together and is perfect for storing my lawn equipment and storage bins.
