Arrow10' x 8' EZEE Shed Cream with Charcoal Trim Extra High Gable Steel Storage Shed

The only good thing I can say is the shipping went well...Where do I start. I will start by saying I do few reviews. If a product has 100 reviews I probably will not have anything new to add. This product has very few and was such a disappointment that I felt it needed a review. Lets start with packaging... Everything came in 2 large good condition boxes. No rips, markings or any other damage that I could see. Unpacking was straight forward. You have painted and unpainted parts. The unpainted parts have the part number embossed or stamped in. The painted surfaces have the part number printed on. The majority of my painted framework pieces had a partial number or no number at all. I had a dark trim so it was not easy to read (which would be expected) on the ones that had a number but most did not. Doesn't sound like a big deal...IT IS! Some of these pieces will only differ by a screw hole being in a slightly different location. It will quadruple your prep time! Next, condition after unpacking: Most of the wall panels have the finish worn of in spots. Mine was a light cream color with dark trim. They pack all the wall and roof panels sandwiched together which wears the finish off. My shed looked 10 years old on the first day. The Gable ends had LARGE worn areas and were dented. Most of the wall and roof sections were free of dents but the flanges on the EZEE lock panels on some were out of shape and would not go together properly without opening the flanges where they were out of shape. Construction was fairly easy. Follow the instructions. It will take some time. Everything has to be put together, its a kit, its expected. I prepared an item 4 base and a wood frame base to build on. My base was and is perfectly level but it was still a chore to get the roof squared up. I had to remove the screws and move the jams back further on the doors to get them to close correctly. Basically, I would expect this from the $239.00 shed kit not a $500.00 kit. For a $500.00 bill a person with little ability can build a better product and have something that will withstand mother nature. For $500.00 I have a shed that has the paint worn off and dents in all gable sections. It is actually an embarrassment...UPDATE: 12/27/2017Well, we had our first somewhat snow here in Mid-state NY. As I was cleaning the snow off the shed I noticed many of the seams where the wall panels come together have started to open. I don't believe it was from the snow. It was only about 2 inches. I think it is from the expansion and contraction throughout the fall season. It looks like I will be installing screws in these panels after all.

As expected. A little difficult to put together due to weather conditions but not a product fault.

I have assembled "conventional" Arrow sheds in the past, and found them to be relatively easy to assemble and reasonably durable, sometimes lasting 25 yeas or longer. When I saw this was the Arrow brand, I didn't bother to read the reviews and just ordered it. BIG mistake!!! This shed is anything but "EZEE". The instructions are not clear and require re-reading several times for each step. Exact positions for some screws are not specified., Next, parts are not clearly marked. Unpainted parts that have part number stamped into the metal are not stamped deep enough and are barely visible on some parts. Painted pats have part numbers printed on them and some are smeared or otherwise illegible. One corner panel was damaged, even though it was packed inside an undamaged box. Snapping panels together is not that easy; they frequently don't snap initially and require going back over the seam several times' to ensure they are secure. Side panel and wall panel material is too thin. Sheet metal screws that thread into side panels, such as for attaching corner panels, strip out with even light hand torqueing; anything more than finger tight is likely to strip out, and less than finger tight is likely to fall out. Any screws threaded into the panel material should be replaced with screws and nuts. Some predrilled holes don't line up and require drilling new holes. I chose this particular shed for its size, but it would have been easier to build my own out of wood/plywood.

Took my fiancé and I about 4-5 days to put this together. Not a lot of written instruction, plenty of diagrams though. PLEASE NOTE: ink on the pieces are water soluble... so when it rained before we even started.... no part numbers LOLIt’s good enough for a 450$ shed. We got it to hold lawn equipment and bikes.Please keep in mind ... this is a very thin metal so be careful when “snapping” the panels together and anything really
