Keter Store-It-Out Prime Horizontal Storage Shed

The parts arrived in remarkably good condition. Not a scratch or aberration on any of them. Assuming some prior diy on these things, it was very easy and quick to assemble. The main risk is over tighten the screws. I did that one one of them, but that was the only mishap I am aware of. A little bit of sticky tape on hand to hold the back in place while securing helps if assembling alone. It is a very easy task overall as the instructions are clear and simple. It is not particularly study. Adequate, but not special. The floor either needs to be level or made that way. Otherwise you will have door issues. I may eventually put a bit of concrete under the low corner. For now, it has a shim there. If one needs more sturdiness, adding an strong interior shell would be the way to go. I use this to hide garden items that are otherwise an eyesore when not in use. On that score it does well, it looks good, and the eyesores are now hidden inside a much nicer looking item.

After much research I purchased this shed and couldn’t be more satisfied. It was very easy to put together, is sturdy and looks great.

If I hadn't gotten this for 31% off, I would have probably given it 3 stars. The good: It is plenty solid. Made of plastic, but there are "fins" that add rigidity. Since it is made of plastic, it'll be around in some form for the next thousand years. I think it looks good. Dark gray on the bottom with a light gray lid. It is clearly not wood, but it has enough texture to avoid looking like a big plastic trash bin. I think it looks better than metal models. Speaking of metal, the plastic should be a bit quieter during rain and hail. Storage capacity is what it is. Although I'm actually a bit surprised by how much room it has. I like that is is wide, but shallow, with a decent amount of height. This will allow me (with shelves) to store lots and lots of random stuff; thus clearing up space in my garage and basement. The clarifications: Doors work fine. I don't have mine on a perfectly flat surface, but once they're latched they are properly flush. Water resistance? Where I live we're in the worst drought since they've been measuring precip. Probably a better chance of this thing just spontaneously bursting into flames than leaking. The bad: Given the pictures and the description, I thought this might provide some decent level of security to whatever I put in it. I think it will resist the casual thief. But if it is visible and someone wants to see if you have gold bullion inside, then you're gonna be out of luck. Give me a small pry bar and I'm in it in a minute or two. Assembly: Took me around an hour on my own. Part of this time was spent finding the tools I needed - drill with phillips head; knife to cut through the plastic holding the hardware; manual screwdriver; and a healthy helping of xa nax to deal with the frustrating assembly design flaws and poor assembly instructions. This could have been SO much easier. And, honestly, I'm not sure how someone without strong hands / experience is going to assemble this. It comes with a floor - no assembly. Sides just snap in. The back comes in two pieces that you screw together - took more time than necessary to discern what the picture was trying to convey, but the screws went in easily (with my drill). Adding the top would have been a breeze if I had 3 hands. As it is, it took a few tries to get the sides to properly fit into the back, while simultaneously adding the lid. This is really the first asinine assembly design flaw. Attach the back to the sides (at least with one screw per side) before putting the lid on? Then I wouldn't have had the sides flopping away from the back. Otherwise you're trying to hold the sides in place with the back while also snapping the lid down. Once everything is fitted together you connect it with nine screws. These went in relatively easily (drill with phillips). The doors. Oh the doors. These SHOULD have been quite easy. And if you follow the pictures EXACTLY you'll save yourself some frustration. Start with the hinge on the bottom, then open the door as wide as possible. The top hinge has a bit of an angle to it so that when open wide, it will fit into the top bracket. It doesn't EASILY fit into that top bracket, but at least it is possible if you swing the door wide. Any other angle and you're not getting that top hinge to pop in place. Door latch -- fairly straight forward how to assemble. Screws -- But then you have to add three screws. Now, I think these metal screws work by becoming wider from the tip to the top - thus expanding the plastic as you insert them and making a very solid connection. Problem I had was that (a) the holes were too tight or the screws were too big; and (b) the phillips slots on the screws started stripping if I used my drill (which has never happened before, and I've used my drill as a screwdriver numerous times). The phillips slots seemed to not be deep enough and the metal was too soft. Ultimately, from this point forward, I needed to drill out the plastic to even get the screws in. And I ultimately started using a manual screwdriver, because the drill just ate up the screw tops. Poorly planned assembly instructions: So you are almost done. Lid is on. Walls are up. Door are on. Handles / latch are on. Now. . . NOW (?) . . . you're going to add things towards the back of the lid. Things you could have done BEFORE the lid was attached. Instead, you get to try to insert these screws in an awkward position while the lid fails to defy gravity and, accordingly, tries to slam on your head or your hand or any other body part in the neighborhood. Do yourself a favor - attach the piston / resisters to the walls before you put the lid on. And add the middle lid supporting bracket to the back before you put the lid on. This will save you scaring the neighbors that a pirate with tourettes has moved in next door.

I purchased this Keter shed to replace a 9 year old Suncast shed that did the job, but didn't match the color of a new larger shed that we purchased for our backyard. Unlike other reviews, I was able to assemble this Keter container without breaking. That said, the lid was warped upon arrival and it was annoying that the lid did not sit flush on top, since we wanted to keep the garbage cans inside waterproof. After weeks of weighing down the lid with heavy bricks and stones, it still remained warped unfortunately. The worst part of this item is that didn't survive 7 months. A wind storm completely decimated this product. Here in NYC, we don't have tornado/hurricane level winds - however one windy night sent this shed flying and ultimately reduced this product (despite being place up against a house, and weighed down with bricks and two filled garbage cans) into a whole bunch of broken plastic shards. I had never seen anything quite like it - I didn't know large plastic panels like the ones that comprised this shed could topple onto grass and then shatter - with nothing but wind. I literally thought someone came into my backyard and took a sledgehammer to this shed, but no - the camera showed it toppling over and the wind tossing this like a plastic bag. Obviously not a sturdy product, nor worth the $190 I paid for it. I would recommend a Suncast shed instead - it's pricier, but I'd rather spend $320 for a 8-year product than $190 for an 8-month product.

This is very sturdy and easy to put together.

We are currently using this as a compost bin … works wonderful

Mine arrived with no instructions, and I did look everywhere in the box and parts, found YouTube how to put together. Assembled ok, except the back panels are a pain to screw together if you don't hold them Exactly. It looks nice for my space but lid and doors are hard to close, must be lined up perfectly even on flat/level cement pad. It's an OK shed for what I need but little disappointed.

I’m a 65 yr old woman and put this together in about 40 minutes by myself. The only tool I needed was a cordless screw driver. Nice product and very easy to assemble. Instructions are basically pictures but common sense tells you what to do. Large storage area. I highly recommend buying this one.

Have had one of these before and are very good quality. Paid to,have it assembled.

Love it

Excelente para guardar los botes de basura, se ve bien y protege el contenido de los elementos y de animales como gatos.

Beschermt al 3 winters mijn tuingerei.

tyvärr kom artikeln brutit och förpackningen är tråsig . Jag kan inte packa om den så jag måste behålla den trots att den är trasig. väldigt obekvämt
