Yardmaster 6 x 4 ft Deluxe Apex Roofed Metal Shed - Green

Once assembled this is a very sturdy and quality shed. It does take some time to assemble so make sure you read the instructions a few times to familiarise yourself with the process. There are some pretty decent videos online as well that help. The assembly really isn't that bad if you take some time before you start. It took me 6 hours on my own from unboxing to finished shed. It's important to make sure that the panels are the right way around as some are very similar, particularly the roof panels. You must make sure the base and roof are squared off before you start attaching panels to ensure all of the holes line up. I had no problems other than fat fingers and small screws being incompatible after a few hours :) This really is value for money and looks great on the allotment. Much cheaper than a wooden shed of similar size and doesn't need treating every year. Just be prepared for a day of crawling around on your hands and knees, if you have someone to help it will make a difference, but it's not that hard to do it yourself. Just having someone to put the washers on the many many screws would be helpful. Oh and make sure you have a cordless screwdriver or drill, if you try to do this with a proper screwdriver you won't be able to hold a cup of tea for a week.

Having read previous reviews, I was dubious about committing to buy this shed. However, I'm glad that I took the plunge, because for the price I think it represents good value for money. It took me about 16 hours in total to install (spread over 6 days due to many stops for rain and wind). One word of caution - I would urge anyone buying this to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY before starting. It's not like an Ikea item with lots of simple pictures, so you need to keep your wits about you and double-check each stage as you go. If you do this, you shouldn't have any problems. Now that I have the shed installed, it's a huge improvement on the knackered old wooden shed it replaced, so overall I'm happy with the quality. The only reason I've given 4 stars instead of 5 is that the instructions could be clearer and simplified, but like I say above, this can be easily overcome if you read and understand them thoroughly before you start and pause to check each stage as you go on.

This shed would try the patience of a saint, half inch screws that need a washer x4 screws for every panel. I am not inexperienced with DIY and found the diagrams confusing this shed took me about 24 hours actual labour time to put together. The shed arrived with two corner pieces damaged, short of small screws, short of the screw washer bolt thingies. I would not buy this again, even though now it is complete it is half tidy, it does compliment my garden. It isn't for the feint hearted, it isn't easy to assemble, the diagrams leave a lot to be desired and a shortage of screws and bolts.

If you have about two days spare, are extremely nimble fingered, and don't need any written instructions, but can work entirely from drawings, then this shed represents good value. If you lack any of the above buy a different one! Now that we have actually got it up, it seems solid and we are happy that it was worth what we paid for it.

Very disappointing with the product various panels scratched and some parts bent, had to straighten out before I could assemble taken various pictures should you require them.

This shed is really sturdy once built. As with all other sheds it did take about a day to build, and needed two people to build it (one to hold things together whilst the other sorts the screws out). We did have to drill a few extra holes as some of the holes didn’t line up, but that was no issue to us, and did not affect the finished shed in any way. Perhaps it was the way we lined each piece up. Even though it is only 6ft x 4ft it is rather spacious as the door is on the 6ft side. I have a small table, a chair, a shelf and garden tools in there, and use the shed to do some creative work. It’s nice and light inside as the walls are white, but does get quite hot when it’s sunny, as to be expected! However please note that this shed changes its price every few days. I bought it when it was around £145.99 and the next day the shed was priced at £179.99! A few days later the shed was £229.99! As I write this review about a month after purchase, it is currently £156.99. It is worth the money but it’s best to wait for the low price. I can’t comment as to how long the shed will last as I have only had it a month, but so far so good.

I am very happy with my yardmaster shed ,and it was very easy to put together , I would recommend this product as a good purchase and value for money.

The shed arrived flat packed and did not look much. It took me 9 hours on my own not rushing to put up. ( I did get help to lift the roof up but it is not heavy just easier to fit in place with two of you. I did not find the shed difficult to assemble but it does take time and you must read the instructions. All the information you need is in the instructions but you do sometimes need to look for it. If you are used to making Airfix kits it's very similar. Having finished the shed I am pleased with the construction and it is quite sturdy once assembled. Overall a good purchase and good value for money. If you want a dry floor you must put a floor in the shed and this does not come with the kit. I just used some 25mm thick wood treated battons inside the shed and then cut some 18mm ply sheet that sits on the battons and shed internal edge. For added dampness security I also built the shed on a concrete base with a plastic sheet on top between concrete and shed base. The battons sit on the plastic and the sealed around the internal edge with silicone. The inside of the shed in heavy rain is dry no leaks or wet floor.
