Greesum Metal Outdoor Storage Shed 6FT x 4FT, Steel Utility Tool Shed Storage House with Door & Lock for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn (6' x 4'), Brown

I read tons of reviews before purchase, but at a cost of $219 this shed is an excellent value. I bought and built it myself (I am a 5’ 6” female). I saved HUNDREDS of dollars and took my time to construct it . Several reviews discussed the ways that they built this shed, but if you search for “Greesum Metal Storage Shed” online there is a 40 minute and 54 second video by UTECHPIA (building the smaller 5’ x 3’ shed solo) that I found extremely helpful. The shed isn’t EASY to build if you are inexperienced, but it is absolutely possible if you are patient, have the correct tools, and have the time and determination to devote to building. For a builder with experience, this shed build would be a piece of cake though. The build is completely logical.TIPS:1) FWIW, I did use an electric drill w screwdriver attachment instead of a ratcheting screwdriver and it saved a ton of time and strength. (TBH I started w/ a ratchet and changed after my arm got sore - so save time and start that way!). I was just VERY careful to set the torque low on my drill and to be careful not to strip the screws on tightening.2) I inventoried each piece of the build before I started, to make sure I had all the pieces, which I did. I read the instructions (e.g., looked at all the pictures) before starting. I did not inventory the screws/ fasteners because for the most part I could tell there were plenty.3) When installing the wall panels, I put a starter screw at the top, then attached the bottom screws first, which was more difficult to do since that part was close to the ground and were therefore harder to screw in (I lifted the very light shed frame up onto an incline to allow my drill to get low enough to reach each screw). FWIW, if you assemble the structure correctly which is not hard to do, ALL the holes match up. HOWEVER, it is important to stretch or push the metal slightly to fit, as it can get a bit shrunk and bent during packaging. None of the materials in my packaging were damaged. Because it’s thin sheet metal, it is easy to shape so all the holes line up. Take your time and wear the gloves so you don’t get cut by the metal.4) the instructions are sometimes tricky, so pay close attention to the holes that DO & which DO NOT get screwed in (at first) on the corner panels for the walls and roof. Otherwise you’ll have to undo and redo them, which I did the first time. Didn’t make that mistake twice.5) there is one error on the roof build instructions, or at least I THINK it was pictured backwards. The number 17 and number 18 front and back roof edge finishing pieces (which screw into the middle roof panel and are both around 3 to 4 feet long) appeared as reversed in the photo instructions I had. (The 18 piece is shorter, 17 slightly longer. ) Consequently, when I tried to put the roof supports around the edge of the roof panels, they appeared to be too long and jutted out too far past the corners of the roof. Just reverse 17 and 18 pieces, and then the side roof structure finishing pieces and corners will match.If you have ever built Ikea stuff you will be able to build this shed. Just pay CLOSE attention to the tiny holes pictured on the page and figure out what is top, bottom, front and back before you permanently affix each piece. And there’s nothing you can’t undo and redo, generally, if you must.The HARD part of this build was creating a level surface for my shed because my yard is on an incline (and I had no experience with a patio-making task). However, the finished product is a success. The shed withstood last night’s rain, and everything inside is water free. In the picture, you will see an IKEA Omar shelf, which fits well in this shed with room to spare. (See pics). I put a large piece of plastic for flooring inside, and it too was dry. I am very pleased with this shed.UPDATE - after several days of hard blowing rains, there was some water infiltration from (I believe) gaps at the roofline underneath the roof’s drip edge, which is short (the edge comes down only about an inch beneath the gaps. To cover the gap better, I purchased a $10 10-foot length 2.25” by 1.25” galvanized steel bent roof drip edge and two $0.72 pieces of 8” long, 4” by 4” folded galvanized flashing (because the drip edge piece wasn’t quite deep or long enough to cover front and back of the roofline) to act as a water diverter. If that solves the issue, great. If not, I will report back. :)Update 2 - I think I have discovered the leak is coming from underneath, which is not an issue at all. Everything that I have in that shed is waterproof at the bottom. I don’t have flooring, I just built it on top of the brick patio so there is some water underneath when it rains. The shed is holding up great a year later.Good luck!

This shed is definitely a bit “you get what you pay for.” It’s definitely a cheaper option in comparison to other sheds and therefore certainly has its flaws. However, for the price, I’m very happy with this little shed, it’s exactly what I needed.The things I didn’t love about this she’d start with the assembly. The instructions are a bit confusing but I was able to navigate fine. You can do this alone but it’s VERY helpful to have a second pair of hands. Not all the screw holes line up perfectly so it can be a bit difficult getting the pieces together. Once the shed was together, I noticed that there’s no real seal around where the roof meets the walls. We did get water inside after some rain. This however was an easy enough fix with some caulk around that space.The positives are that I feel this shed is decently sturdy once it’s put together. When I first unboxed it and felt the panels I really thought I had just wasted my money. I was pleasantly surprised to find how sturdy it felt when it was finished and attached to the wood base I built. The size is absolutely perfect for what I needed; however, be aware that the measurements provided in the description are for the outside of the shed, the inside is just a bit smaller.I bought this shed to store all the supplies I need for my chickens (feed, bedding, treats, etc.). I built shelves to go inside and everything fits perfect. It’s small and discreet but not an eyesore. It looks very nice and functions well. There are a few dents and dings in the siding but nothing that couldn’t be popped out. A few corners were bent but I was able to easily bend them back into place. I was looking for something functional but didn’t necessarily need top of the line. This is a very inexpensive option and it’s certainly not perfect but it serves its purpose well. We’ve been using this for a year now and it’s held up very well in heavy rain and snow and high winds.
