“Very easy to put together, hubby was done in just about 4 hours. I was there to assist him with holding panels, helping screw them in, etc. Door panel gave us a run for our money but once we figured out where the braces were over and/under we were good. Each piece is covered in protective plastic which is a pain to remove and we didn’t remove all of it. Overall we love it and highly recommend. We added a tin sign and solar decorative light above the door so as to fit in with the rest of our backyard decor. Great buy & perfect for yard tools.” – J. Castillo (Source: Amazon)

“It took me about 10 hours to build by myself. I’m handy and have great tools but I’m no contractor. Hardest part was getting the walls started, otherwise not too difficult to build. I built a sturdy base for it and made a re-enforced 2 x 4 walls on the inside. Recently had high winds in Texas and no damage to the shed. Very pleased with it so far.” – Mr. T (Source: Amazon)

“I got this on a deal for $165 plus $60 s/h. Recommend watching the install video alone with the instructions. I put this together by myself. Would recommend you have a helper when putting up the walls.5×3 is not too big but perfect for me to use as a pool shed.” – JARandell (Source: Amazon)

“Judging by the reviews, one would believe that every reasonably priced shed on Amazon is trash, including this one. But I beg to differ. I’m not sure what motivates people to be so overly negative and critical…Perhaps unreasonable expectations? But considering the price and convenience of having this thing delivered right to your door, you just cannot beat it. As you can see in the photographs, it looks nice enough on my patio, and it provides a perfect amount of space to store yard tools, equipment and gardening supplies etc.. As far as assembly, it is what one should reasonably expect it to be. My friend and I spent several hours on a Sunday afternoon putting it together, but it was not especially complicated. I cannot imagine any shed that would not require a lesser degree of effort to assemble, unless of course you buy one already put together for thousands and thousands of dollars and then pay for delivery. In all, directions were relatively straightforward and the shed feels reasonably sturdy and so far has endured heavy rains without any leakage. But if anyone expects any shed at this price point to be able to withstand tornados or hurricanes, that’s on you—it’s not an inherent defect in the product. In all, totally satisfied here! :-)” – James0699 (Source: Amazon)

Other Landscaping & Decor Ideas

• Position your storage shed at the corner of the backyard with a slated wood walkway leading up to it. This will offer easy access, especially during wet weather.
• Paint it a soft, calming color to complement your outdoor space. Light blues, greens, or even a soft beige can work well. If you want it to stand out, you could go for bolder colors like red or yellow.
• Install a variety of hanging baskets on the sides of the shed filled with colorful flowering plants. This will not only beautify your shed but also attract bees and butterflies, adding to the overall beauty of your backyard.
• Surround it with beds of complementary flowering plants or shrubs. This will help the structure to blend into the garden surroundings.
• Install solar-powered sconce lights on either side of the door for easy access during the night. This will also give the shed a warm, inviting look.
• On one side of the shed, you could create a vertical garden by installing a trellis and planting a climbing rose plant or a vine like wisteria.
• For an additional touch of character, add a weather vane or a cute garden gnome on top of the shed.
• Place large decorative ceramic pots or old wheelbarrows filled with bright annuals beside the entrance of the shed.
• If you have space, add a bench or a small bistro set nearby so you can relax and enjoy your garden while also having your tools within easy reach.
• Create a small patio area in front of the shed with a few outdoor rugs, pot plants, and lounge chairs.
