I bought the 10ft x 8ft metal shed (with wooden log storage section) a good while back, but thought I'd leave it for a long while before leaving a review.
The instructions stated "3 Hours to assemble", but it actually took myself and two brothers (all fully capable and DIY'ers) an entire day, morning to night. I'm not sure if Superman could even build this in 3 hours.
I was rightly concerned about the hundreds of tiny screws and tiny white plastic washers holding all the side panels and roof being rain/leak proof.
Despite all screws & washers being tightly secured, the shed basically leaks all over. I used a clear 'Sticks Like Sh##' weather sealant (from Screwfix) on every screw head the shed still leaks.
I'd placed 8 metal racks (with wooden shelves) in the shed when it was first assembled, and ALL the shelves are now all water damaged, swollen and warped.
I have now just bought two 10m x 1m rolls of Black Roof Felt (& felt glue from B&Q) to completely cover the roof (& right-side wall, as water gets through these screw holes also).
It's possible the shed MIGHT not have leaked if fitted with decent dense rubber washers, instead of cheap thin tiny white hard washers.
I wish I could turn the clock back and just buy a decent wooden shed.
Christmas 2025 will include fitting & securing the roof felt - before more rain & possibly snow comes.
Great fire exactly as described
Waited about 2 months for it, was not in stock but they did reply to me asking if I wanted a refund or to wait. I really needed this one so opted to wait. Replied everytime I messaged. Its turned up, is great, just what I asked for but a different colour to the picture. Its a lighter grey than the picture but ive waited so long for it and there is none in stock anywhere else I'll have to just make do
