Patiowell Outdoor Storage Shed, Tool Shed with Sloping Roof and Lockable Door

This is a great value for a small shed. It arrived before the anticipated arrival date, and was packaged well. There was a small ding in the box which resulted in a dent on 4 of the corner pieces. Honestly, it’s so minor wasn’t too worried about it. It is NOT the highest quality and the metal material is thin and pretty flimsy. That said, this is a budget shed and still a great value. It assembled easily and there are some videos on you tube although the instructions were well written with very good illustrations. I do have an issue with door closing very tight and I had to flip the latching hasp upside down to accept the bolt (required drilling a small pilot hole for the screw). It was estimated that two people can assemble in 5 hours; I did it myself in less time, in the dark, with a flashlight (would not have been possible in the wind). I’m planning to make some modifications to create an exhaust port, add electrical outlets and use it as a place to keep my generator out of the rain and snow on some rural property. I would definitely buy this again as a smaller budget shed but might not give it a prominent spot if I had a meticulous backyard.

This outdoor storage shed is perfect for my backyard. It’s a good size for storing tools and garden items. The metal feels strong and safe. The sloping roof helps water run off, and the door can lock, which is great for safety. It looks clean and fits well in small spaces. Took some time to build, but it’s worth it. Very useful for outdoor storage!

I do NOT recommend this shed. Yes- it was cheaper than an actual, good quality shed. So, you do indeed, “get what you paid for”. Ah, my first mistake. First, it came with a plastic coating all over it. Perfect- protecting the metal! No. It was a nightmare to peel off and you cut your fingers while doing so because of the thin metal. They kindly provide you with gloves to wear, except you can’t wear them while peeling it off so the little shed knives slice your fingers. It’s great that the coating is there because it protects the metal from your blood stains. Once the plastic is off, the paint on the metal scratches off so easily that you were better off keeping the peeling mess on. The instructions were dreadful. They were vague and askew and left you wondering which direction the parts go because the image didn’t coincide with the minimal word guidance. The metal was ridiculously flimsy that I worry a good gust of wind will take this thing away. The ONLY reason I am not returning this is because I don’t feel like going through the hassle of lugging this thing somewhere to be returned. And I really just need it to store simple, smaller yard items (thank the Lord). It certainly won’t stop thieves from getting inside of it, but it’s light enough that they could probably just steal the entire shed. So, maybe I’ll get lucky and they’ll take it away for me. As you can guess from this review, I hate this thing, hate the process it took to put it together, and highly recommend saving your money to put it towards something more expensive, yet better quality.

"To start with, the very small fasteners are VERY combursome to work with, with my beat-up, old caperpenters' fingers and hands, I spent half the time it took in just fighting with them; I cannot say I'm bristling with confidence in their capacity to hold the whole unit together in the winds we get here. The steel itself is thinner that most expect, while it looks like standard steel roofing/siding - it's significantly thinner - the specs are clear on this, but w/out a frame of reference, most aren't going to connect the 2 point. The instructions are pretty good, mostly pictorial, but there are a few things hat could be clearer - which way the base corners and siding seams/joints overlap - and why it's important to include; if one doesn't lap the wall corners according to the site's position relative to winter storms, and even dust, then it very easily could blow in through under/overlapping sections. Including how to make sure the base is square should also be in the instructions, it isn't something most/many folks are going to automatically pick up on; even with the base's corners properly screwed together it can, likely will be, out of square by 1/4" or a bit more - and if it isn't square - the pre-cut/drilled holes and sections won't align right. The siding overlaps are pretty poor as to fitting tightly, caulking will be a minimum, fastening them down with self-tapping screws as well, is what it'll take here - and it wouldn't have mattered the direction of the overlap, it is just as loose either way. Lastly, a number of the pre-drilled holes are misaligned, and some of the ones in the siding were split/blow-outs, making for potential weak points. especially ones in the corners. The base needs for holes to screw it down properly, just the corners - per manufacture - will not likely be enough, I know for certain these mountain winds are well beyond what just corner screws could hold. I'm also going to add a pair of ratchet straps to the entire construction, I built a proper floor box for it with enough meat to hold some eye-bolts as anchor points, the winds are only going to get stronger as the climate collapse worsens and this is already sketchy - I can see the whole unit being ripped off of the base frame and scattered as mega-shrapnel. It's one me to make sure that can't happen." Quote from the man I had to hire to put this shed together. It's almost disposable! I don't expect it to last more than a year at best!
