Suncast 8' x 10' Heavy-Duty Resin Tremont Storage Shed, Sand

This is a nice shed to store your excess stuff in, or lawn mowers and such. Now that it is done it looks pretty good. It was a pain to install for some of the steps, but overall was not too terrible. My son and I (I am a 68 year old arthritic female) assembled it in about 8 hours, with appropriate breaks and such. I read in some reviews that the vents at the top of the front and back were not well done, as the screen material tore or bunched when the screws were installed. To avoid that issue, I used washers on the screws and it solved the bunching issue. However, the screen material was cut way too short. On both vents there were places it only barely touched the edge. I used silicon caulk all around the edges of the screen material and that seems to have sealed the not so great fitting edges. The 6 skylights are wonderful. In the day time it is as bright inside as if you had a bright light turned on. Nice. While the skylights are a frosted material (not clear), the windows in the doors are very clear plastic. If you live in an area where thefts are an issue, you might not want totally clear windows in the doors so anyone can see exactly what you are storing. The walls and doors are not exactly solid, and it wouldn't take too much to break in if someone really wanted to do so. I put frosted contact paper on the inside of the door windows and it works great. Still lets in light, but no one can see the contents of the shed. The very worst step in the installation was adding the roof panels. The instructions tell you to have one person inside the shed to install the screws (which are too short to do a very good job. We used slightly longer screws, and even those were hard to get to catch), and the other person needs to go up top and "push down" on the panels. That is a pretty tall roof! On a very sturdy 8 foot ladder my (almost 6 foot tall) son tried to reach up and hold down a panel. I was inside waiting for the go-ahead to try the screws, when I heard him exclaim urgently. I couldn't tell what was happening from inside, so I stepped out and found him trying to hold onto the roof while the ladder was half tipped over. Luckily there is another shed 3 feet away on that side, and it stopped the ladder from going completely over. Needless to say, it was not a pleasant experience. So, there was no way I was going to let anyone try to climb up and lay over that roof. Just not worth the risk! I had read one review where the person tied bricks to the roof to hold down the panels and he said it worked pretty well. This is what we did: We took two 16 foot cargo tie-downs and tossed them over the roof so that each end was draped over the edge of the shed on either side. We did one roof panel section at a time (the two front panels, the two middle panels, then the two back panels). We filled 4 buckets with large rocks and then each of us got on one side of the shed and we lifted up 2 of the buckets at the same time and placed them on the hooks on the end of the tie-downs. We repeated the process with the next tie-down and the last 2 buckets, easing them up or down until they were evenly suspended over the shed. Then we laid a 8 x 16 patio block over each bucket for extra weight. It may or may not have been as good as a "body" lying across the roof, but it was certainly a lot safer. My son was able to get the roof screws in place (using the longer screws I mentioned earlier). Hey, whatever gets the job done, right? In order to provide more weight for stability in strong winds, we filled four 5 gallon buckets with big rocks (we have no shortage of rocks around here) and placed them inside the shed at the four corners. After the assembly, I noticed there were a lot of very large holes around the trusses where bees and other critters could come in, so I sealed those with foam and tape, and also used silicon caulk around various places where I could see cracks that were letting light in. Once the doors were installed I was disappointed to realize the windows were a bit crooked. There is a ridge that the window frame fits around, so there really isn't any play to move them, so I guess we will live with it. On both sides the upper left corner is about 3/4 inch higher than the upper right corner. If they were opposites it would have looked planned, but no, they are just tilted to one side the same on each door. The door windows were part of the pre-assembly stuff, so they were not side by side when installed or maybe I would have noticed and possibly been able to torque them a bit. If you know this ahead of time maybe you could measure both door window openings to see if you could fix it at that time. Once the shed was installed I did not want to try tearing the door windows apart. Just one of those annoying little features. Overall it is a pretty nice shed. I believe some things could have been made better, but then it would probably have been a lot more expensive. Delivery was interesting. I read how big the 2 boxes were and how heavy and knew we could never pick them up at the store and get them home in my little pickup. So I had it delivered, especially since Amazon offered free shipping. It showed up in my city 3 days earlier than my scheduled delivery date, and ABF freight called and arranged the day and time of delivery, which I had done 1 day earlier than planned (nice-since it rained all day the original delivery was planned). The driver pulled up at the end of the driveway and he loaded one box at a time on a 2-wheel hand truck and came down the driveway with the box spanning the whole drive, and then turned it sideways and set it upright close to the garage. The garage was as far as they would go, but he couldn't have gotten those huge boxes into my back yard anyway. I was amazed that one guy brought those boxes out of the truck and down the drive with only a 2-wheel hand truck. After he left, we opened the boxes and carried all the pieces to the back yard and laid them on the covered patio, using one flattened box on the bottom and the other flattened box on the top, and patio blocks on top of that because it was due to storm that night. What an adventure. The shed is now occupied by 2 ladders, a wheelbarrow, a lawn roller, a tiller, and a de-thatching machine, and there is still room for more. It was a lot of work getting the pad prepped and doing the installation, but I believe it was worth it.

I purchased the 8x10 resin shed, it is durable, waterproof, and most of all affordable. Shed needs a good level foundation in order to fit together properly. We used pavers, gravel and cement. That was a whole days work in itself. It took me and my husband about 7 hours with many breaks to put together. It was pretty easy with two people, the instructions were pretty basic and clear for the most part. I was worried at first, the box came heavily damaged, luckily the shed is pretty durable and it was not damaged or missing parts. It functions well as we intended for storage purposes. We have had it for 6 months now and it’s been so great to have storage at home!

Good quality, proper design. It takes two people around 5 hours to finish installation.Great size for two medium size motorcycles and accessories.

this is the second one we bought. really nice and strong.

Assembly was super easy! You will need 2-3 people to help but it only took 2 hours at most ! After a while it’s still holding up to weather !

Don't be afraid of others reviews 😂 Originally planned on hiring help but thanks to the instructions being step-by-step & accurate, Not Necessarily!61 y.o woman & 38 y.o son finished in under 8 hours. Everything is as it should be!

After 2 years of ownership, I am still very pleased with this shed. I bought the 8x10 unit, and its been a very good size for my needs.Despite fact that the instructions call for 2 people to build this, I was able to build it in 1.5 days by myself. I spent more time prepping the platform it ended up being built on!Since having put it up, i did notice that the plexiglass windows very quickly got cloudy and stress cracked from exposure to the sun. Its not something that ruins the functionality, but it does go to show that the thin, clear plexiglass for the doors will eventually be the first thing to dry rot at some point in the hopefully distant future.The metal door handles (black coated in my case) also became sun-faded after the first summer and developed some light surface rust by the second summer.Other then those two nitpicks, this shed has been absolutely awesome. The walls and roof still look as good as new and have no signs of sun fade, being brittle, or stress marks of any kind. Compared to a wood shed, I think this thing is great value for money and has enough weight to be a solid unit. Its easily withstood the windiest of days that has otherwise snapped limbs off of trees in my neighborhood.If they fix the clouding/cracking see-thru plexiglass windows, this thing is just about perfect in my book.
