Ezee Shed I will provide you with an honest impartial review from a novice. It was surprisingly sturdy once set up. They designed the shed well from this point of view. The shed was delivered earlier then expected and right to my door with free delivery. It came in one box and the box was smaller then expected. I was wondering how they could fit a shed in such a small box. First thing the instructions ask is to check that everything was there before putting it together. I figured they must have forgotten something otherwise how could it fit in the box. To my delight it was all there. The Wayfair site states “The doors are set on 3 hinges for extra durability.” There is a place for 3 hinges, but the package comes with only 2 hinges and the instruction state 2 hinges. Minor discrepancy. It was cheaper then I could buy locally and I would still have to go pick it up at the store and put it together. I downloaded the instructions a head of time and constructed the base, out of wood, prior to it arriving, which made things a lot faster. Build the base as per instructions and make sure it is square. The instructions leave very little room for error. The base will only extend 916” beyond the outside walls. Below are the Pros and Cons of the shed as I see it. Pros - - Great pricing (I purchased a returned item from the warehouse) - sturdy once put together. I had my doubts when I saw the thickness of the steel. But the system developed by the designers worked well. - I like to door it is large enough to allow easy access. Other designs have two sliding doors, which are nothing but a pain to open and close - I like the interior height. I am just under 6’ and I can stand up without worrying about hitting my head. Other designs are too low and you have to duck your head when inside - Snap together metal design made the siding feel like one piece when put together (However,I also put this in the Con section) - The items inside were numbered, which corresponded to the instructions. When you check to make sure the pieces are all there put them in piles of the same numbers as it will make them easier to find as you go through the assembly Cons - - 8-9 hours to put together. I did it by myself and it took the day. Two people would make it go faster as lining up the siding, snapping it together, and putting it in the metal channel frames would benefit from and extra set of hands. - Read the instructions carefully and follow them exactly. Especially if you have never put one together before. If you make a mistake at a critical time and don’t notice it right away you will be disassembling it - It is advertised as a 6’ x 5’ shed. These are the roof dimensions, which I believe is a little misleading. However, once you actually read further, on the site, it does tell you the actual inside dimensions. But why advertise it as 6’ x 5’ shed - As this item had been returned and small imperfections were expected. I noticed that when I opened the box many of the metal panels were damaged on the corners. They had to be straightened out prior to putting it together and snapping it together required a little extra weight Overall I would recommend the Ezee Shed as the Pros far out way the Cons. My only advice is read the instructions carefully and take your time assembling the Ezee Shed and you will be pleased with the results.

This is an attractive shed and easy to assemble. It was a one-man job for me. I can’t tell you how long it took me to assemble; I received it on a Tuesday afternoon and waited for my next day off (following Sunday) to complete the project, coupled with emptying/moving an existing shed, and laying a new level foundation of pavers and sand afterward before I could begin. What I did do was assemble it in stages, beforehand, each evening after work. I’d put the floor together one evening, the roof the next, followed by the door and installing it in the front wall, then slapping the window in a wall panel. By the time Sunday came by and my foundation was complete, I had everything ready to go and it was really quick. The delivery guys were awesome. Getting to choose a delivery date and a block of time was handy to make sure it arrived intact. It did. Some notes here for folks reading this in advance of purchase like I did: First, the specs here state the shed comes with stainless steel hardware. It doesn’t. Wayfair customer service told me it comes with galvanized hardware. It doesn’t. It comes with black-painted hardware. Since the floor assembly for this shed actually rests on the heads of the screws that hold the floor frame to the floor panel, I would strongly recommend you purchase some stainless steel lath screws for at least that portion of the assembly. Spending the money and the time on this shed, make that extra small investment to see that it lasts. Second, I wish I had thought of this in time, but all the panels of this shed are open cell poly resin. Assembled, it’s tough, but the floor concerns me over the long haul. If I could do it over, I would have laid the floor panel on a table and injected some “wide gap” expanding spray foam into each cell from both sides of the panel, then secured the frame, giving it a much more solid surface once cured. As it is, although tough, the floor is still a hollow piece of plastic, which limits how much weight it will hold, and don’t even think about putting any shelving unit inside that might have legs on it. The last thing you want is four legs collapsing the floor at those points under weight. As such, my plan is now to cut a sheet of plywood to lay over the floor to reinforce it, and more evenly distribute any weight I place upon it. Third, speaking of foam, I found the need to add some inside at each of the four corners where wall met roof, and at the peak of both walls where they met the roof. There’s a gap at each peak that would allow the creaky crawlies in. It’s not big, but it’s open. The wall corners were nowhere near what I would call a gap, but light was still visible so I filled that for added protection. Fourth, I glued some window screen to the inside walls to cover the air vents, likewise so the creepy crawlies wouldn’t take up residence. One thing I didn’t see anyone note in their reviews, which surprised me, is the three rigid plastic inserts that get slid into the cells of the door. These get placed where both hinges and latch are mounted, to give the screws a solid material to bite into. Something was wrong here from the very beginning as far as how they get inserted and their placement. I mocked everything up and ran the screws into the door, then removed it all, only to find that the cell divisions prevent the inserts from going where they need to be, so not all the screws will hit them. My attempts to remove and alter the cell divisions to properly place the inserts were only partially successful because I couldn’t get deep enough into the door panel. The instructions for that entire step didn’t quite mesh with reality. I’ve considered applying a white, elstomeric roof coating, such as what coats many RV roofs, to this shed roof. Even vented, it’s gets pretty warm inside, despite living on the coast. Changing the roof color from black to white may have a cooling affect. Hopefully, it will stick. Anyway, those are my thought and experience. Make of them what you will. I’m happy with my shed and took no real issue with making minor tweaks to improve my satisfaction with it. People claiming it’s cheap or difficult to assemble are simply picky and lazy. Did you poke a hole in he wall because your drill slipped? It’s plastic. You goofed up and had a spinning drill bit impact thin plastic; what else was supposed to happen? Be careful, use light pressure and slow speed. This isn’t wood or metal you’re working, nor apparently common sense. The enclosed spatula is also a useful tool when seating the roof into the wall panels, which is probably the worst aspect of the assembly that may take ten minutes by yourself. I know, the horrors.

It came faster than expected, and delivery team was great. We leveled the ground that day before so we were ready to go as soon as it was delivered..(nice and early on a Sunday) Wasn't sure what to expect with this shed. I've put together so many pieces of furniture with horrible instructions that I was apprehensive. First of all, the parts sheets were organized well, doors, sides, roof, all pieces listed together so you didn't have to hunt for what goes with what. This is a huge deal and a time saver. (I also like that they give you extra hardware...and they tell you that there are extra, so you're not left scratching your head after it's all done.) So far so good. It took my husband and myself a few hours to put this together. 2 people make this a much easier job. Most of the pieces fit together nicely. Had a little trouble with the main braces on the side walls, but eventually it fit. Clearer pictures on the instruction sheet would have helped here. As someone else mentioned, cutting off the extra plastic pieces left on the molds is a must. Had no trouble with the roof, but again here 2 people is a must. Over all it seems a bit flimsy for the money, but hey, it's a plastic shed..we knew what we ordered. It won't blow over, it holds what we need it to hold. Was a little afraid of water getting in, but had hard driving rains 2 days after we installed, with no leaks. Water did get in from the bottom however after we hosed down the sides of the shed after installing. We will use a little clear sealant here for the winter snow. I don't like the options for wall/shelf storage in these plastic sheds..it's so limited, but we make it work. Over all, I would recommend this.... if you get it on sale.

Moves well
I puchased this shed on Craig's List for an absurdly low price - the catch was I had to disassemble and re-assemble it myself. Which I did, all by myself. The hardest part of disassembling it was getting the plastic pop-rivets off the roof without breaking them (the trick is to lever a thin screwdriver under the central pin and push that out, then the rest of the rivet comes out easily). I made sure to put small parts in separate ziplock bags at each stage of the disassembly and write notes on the outside of the ziplock bag about what went where and in what order. The hardest part of re-assembly was trying to follow the printed instructions instead of simply reversing my own steps from taking it apart. The printed instructions have you start at a low corner at the door end of the shed, which leaves an unsupported panel flopping in the wind while you are trying to read the next instruction. After that fell down and I undid the crimp that that put in the metal track along the floor, I went back to my own instructions and started at the sheltered, non-door end, applied the bracing, and then did the two long sides in parallel, attaching the bracing as I went along. If you are assembling from scratch, I highly recommend pre-assembling certain assemblies, such as putting the plastic endpieces on the metal pillars and putting together segments of bracing the length of the wall that they go on, as long as you make sure to connect them up correctly (there are a couple of pieces that look very similar, but are specialized for either the low or high side of the shed). The shed I bought on Craig's List had a crack in one panel (that the seller had taped with duct tape and didn't disclose, and I didn't notice until I got it home). I don't know how the panel got cracked - it looks like maybe someone drove a fork lift or a pickup truck over it, as there are some scuff marks present. Duramax sells replacement panels, but I elected instead to repair the crack using a specialty vinyl repair tape (Repair-Aid type B) inside and out. So far, it's holding up well. Duramax does not recommend using repair tape, they recommend using silicone sealant. The shed is a really good shape and size for us, I really like the asymmetrical "shed"-style roof, which allowed me to put it right up against the house. It came with a floor system and a flimsy metal "foundation" to go under the plywood. That all fit together nicely. I assume the seller bought the plywood, but I don't know for sure. I didn't want to have to do a lot of work digging up our yard to get everything flat and level, so I bought three large plastic shipping pallets off of Craig's List and zip-tied them together, then put the shed's foundation system on top of that. The pallets are sufficiently rigid, plus they drain well when it rains, so I don't end up with the shed sitting in a puddle. Speaking of rain, we've had a lot of it lately, and the shed is dry as a bone inside. I did put a dollop of sealant on each of the pop-rivets in the roof, which allowed me to re-use those rivits without fear of leaks. All in all, a great shed! Rebeccah One star off for the instructions - they are not bad, but could be better. I'd love to upload some photos, but the uploader is not working. :-(

All of it, it was easy to put together, the instructions were highly detailed and clear (to me) and the precision of the piece's cuts and holes was to the micron, it was not an issue at all there. Actually this are the most precise instructions that I ever had, and I had put together tens if not hundreds of items during my lifetime. I worked alone, except when I put up the first two side panels, my wife helped for a few minutes holding the panels until I finished tightening some screws and parts around, then when I was putting the roof, my son helped me, for a total of no more than 20 min. of extra help. I used a total of 8 hours building this shed, but I took my time resting and hydrating, there was a sweltering sun! and fixing my own mistakes, lol The longest time I spent was drilling the holes for the ventilation, about one hour, but I perforated more holes, double, than the ones shown in the instruction manual. The small parts like plugs, pins, and all sizes' screws came with extra pieces, which nowadays it is very rare, most times we get short changed. As stated somewhere in the Wayfair ad, it does not come with a floor, so I measure the interior from wall to wall and went to the big orange box store and bought a whole piece of 7/16" Oriented Strand Board of for $22.58 tax included, the cutting is free! I told them the measurements, (use your own measurements, not the ones provided, they do differ a little and that millimeter more, won't let the floor fit at all) and how to cut it, I will place the largest section of strand board in the middle and the smaller portions, one on each side (please see pictures), so the floor won't bend when you stand on on it, because the weight of the board would be evenly distributed on the metal bars of the foundation, a thicker board would help better with this situation and it only cost 7 bucks more :[ I realized that too late that the oriented strand boards come in several depths I am very pleased with the end results, very sturdy, and I am sure that I won't have any issues with the strong winds we get here in Southwestern Ontario and with the heavy snowfalls. TIP: Before you start please read each step and carefully and visually identify all the parts and pieces needed, where everything goes, exactly follow the order and instructions to the tee, do not assume anything, I did sometimes, and had to undo and redo in the proper way :(
