Hi mate I can't put the screws in for the door in the door aperture it seems like there not drilled out I have tried screwing through the holes but it only turns about 3 turns
I notice you assembled the shed very close to a wooden fence. I am assuming all the fasteners and fixings etc can be accessed from the interior. I am about to order this shed and intend to site it within a few inches of my 2 metre high brick garden wall. Can you tell me if this might create problems in putting the shed together? Many thanks.
@@briancranch618 Hi Brian, actually no I pulled the shed out from the fence and fixed the screws then pushed it back. I shifted one corner at a time which was quite easy in my opinion.
A great help in our build, great to hear a well spoken, and timed description of the work in stages, being hearing impaired that is so appreciated, along with the subtitles, priceless for us.
Thanks for this demonstration Phil. You made it look very easy to ensemble. I’ve read reviews where people have stated that it takes two people to put together. You have proved that this is clearly not the case! Thx again
Thanks for this video, we built one of these sheds yesterday, it took about three and a half hours which I didn't think was bad for a 71 year old woman and a 63 year old man. Nice shed, looks a lot bigger than we thought it would !!
how do you fix the wall side at the bottom that you fixed that you did other side from the outside the shed also the top at the roof on that side also the same at the back as well ???????????
Hi from Denmark. It doesn’t look too difficult, so I’ll give it a try and assemble it myself. Thanks for a very assuring video, that you can actually assemble it single-handedly. Looks great 🤩
Thank you so much for doing this video. We have just bought a Darwin shed and my husband is delighted that he was able to watch you assemble it so thanks.
Nice little shed and excellent video. Built mine today with the help of your video. Only thing that might have been useful to mention was the fact the corners aren’t the same size so you have to be careful to follow the instructions and make sure you’re putting them in the right way.
Thanks👍 yea probably should have mentioned that although this video was more about my experience putting it up. Not so much a step by step guide so I missed a few things here and there.
Planning on buying one this week , this is one of the best instructional Keter Darwin videos iv seen ever ,many thanks Phill great job its much apricated .
My shed will be up against a fence the same as yours, how did you screw the floor to the side panels near the fence ? You didn't show this in the video and it seems impossible as the screws are inserted from the outside !
@branded01. Is your shed the Keter “Darwin” as in this video? I need to slot the 4 x 6 shed in a narrow gap and to have those screws on the inside would be a big help? Hope you can point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the detailed video. Will appreciate if you can advice on bolting long screws in roof and base from outside when you put it next to fence. One side of mine also sits next to fence.
Yea so I pulled the shed out away from the fence to drive in the screws. I then pushed it back into place. It's not very difficult. I pushed one corner then the other gradually.
I am thinking about purchasing one of these myself. I had ordered a metal shed and it came today all dented up with lots of scratches on it. Looks like I wasn't the first to own it. I've had my fill of the metal sheds, time for something new. Thanks for the video.
Great Video. Helped with assembly planning. Put mine up in the volcanic heat this week. I made a 6x4 wooden base with ply and fence posts. Not impressed with the way the roof joins the edges of the apex panels. My garden is quite exposed. I ran a Bead of stixall adhesive /sealant front and back.
Just built the 8 X 6 today. Took most of the day, but doing it alone and windy with showers. The only criticism is the double doors are pointless and a source of instability. I'd prefer a single door
Great video I have a question, is it possible to install it on a 4x6 trailer and pull it on my van to install a portable shower and portable toilet and to bring things when camping?
Hi there. As I am planning to get a similar shed, I wanted to see one being assembled. You did a fabulous job of and making it very clear and informative as well as showing how easy it was to assemble :)
A very well put together video. found it very good as you went through all the stages with clear pictures and explained everything well. just got a 6x6 darwin so i take it will be silmilar
How did you find fixing the roof on the side next to the fence? I am looking to purchase one of these sheds but it will just fit in the gap down the side of the house so it'll be pretty much hard up against the wall of the house and the fence. Looking at your video, which is great btw, it looks easy enough to build everything from the inside other than the long roof screws. I'd be grateful to know how you overcame this before I purchase. Many thanks. Mike
I wondered about the roof panel too as I want to put mine against the fence. Can't see me being able to successfully screw it in place if the shed is up against a fence. How did it get attached ? Great video , very clear instructions.
I am having trouble screwing the hinges on the sides. Does it have to do that i need a good electrical screwdriver? Cause it seems that the one i am using doesnt have a lot of power. Great video... took me 5 hours and i havent finished the door cause i cant screw the hinges
Hi , thanks for the video, it showed it was possible to put it up by yourself, and did not require two people as suggested by another video. I want to somehow attached a timber frame to one side to hang rakes, spades and other garden tools. do you think that might be possible?
Thanks Colin. I think it is possible but personally I wouldn't recommend it. The plastic is soft and hollow inside. I have seen it done but I would prefer a freestanding solution.
Yea I assembled it out from the fence then pushed it back one corner at a time.

Hello my friend. A beautiful hut for the garden. The assembly of the composite garden shed is successful. A beautiful view in the garden and a hut that will come in handy. Congratulations. See you. I wish you a healthy and beautiful new week. Big greetings...
How far away from the fence did you put yours? If I put mine on a gravel pad vs. Concrete do you think I could still move it after doing back side closer to fence?
Hi, Yes I have anchored it to the slab base I made a video about it. It's been up 2 years now with no problems you can watch the video here: th-cam.com/video/d7gBDY8GkN8/w-d-xo.html
@@PhillWyattProjects hi Phill, my shed arrived and Im prepared to assemble this weekend. Quick question, if you please... do you think that after it is assembled it can be dragged a bit around? because where I am planning to put it, it's a corner and I would not have any space on two outer walls of the shed. so I think I can assemble a couple meters away and drag it to it's final resting place once I have assembled.
Hi great, guide, I built one yesterday, but I'm unsure about the window. I'm in UK too and there's a massive black rubber seal in the kit, presumably for the window, but there is no way it will locate this on the inner and outer window frames and there is no mention of this in the instructions or in the included parts list in the manual, but I've seen some videos using self adhesive weather strip to the outer frame but again no mention of this in the manual I don't see you adding any seals or weather strip, doesn't it leak? Appreciate your help.
This is interesting because mine didn't come with the rubber seal or any weather stripping. My window works just fine without it and does not leak. So it might be possible that they changed the design slightly but forgot to leave out the runner strip in some batches.
Hi Phill, please how did you manage to get the concrete around and between the prefabricated concrete slabs? It seems that everyone is putting edging stones around them to hold the slabs in place and I find your solution much easier. Thanks in advance
Hi, I mortared about 1cm of cement between each slab and a few centimetres of mortar around the edge. It's been fine ever since. Edging stones I guess would be even better although I don't think it is necessary for a small shed base.
I am waiting for mine to be delivered. By chance could you tell me the size of the plastic insert for the window? I would like to upgrade it to something I little less flimsy, if you have an Amazon recommendation to replace it with I would kindly appreciate it.
Hey..the large screws around 12:35, is that just one side they screw into, or do they need to be all the way around? I'm building it with walls either side..so I can see that being a challenge. Thank you
Yes, I wondered how you had fitted the other side of the roof, but the shed is quite light to move around, as long as you have not yet bolted it down. @@PhillWyattProjects
Brilliant thanks for step by step how to build the Keter 6x4 all that you missed out was which code of screws to use but I sussed that out also mention it can be a fixed to the ground ……… Have you never seen the Wizard from Oz and Dorothy’s house
Thanks for the VDO. I consider purchasing this shed. Just 1 question - I see the door is on the narrow wall, however, in the catalog it is on the wide wall. Am I wrong?
Hi did you get a piece of rubber with yours? Mine was holding the window together in transit. Should this be used somewhere? I can't see any mention of it in the manual. It looks like a seal for the window.
Got one of these sheds on order but I need to squeeze it into a 4x6 space with fence on each side how easy is it to move the shed once its built are you able to screw the base to the walls from the inside rather than outside as this would be much easier ?
I only had to move mine up against one side of fence so it was fairly easy. You do need to add the screws from the outside not the inside. It might be tricky putting it between 2 fences but I would say it's possible.
The side of my house would just about fit this with only a few cm either side. Problem is I won't have access to either side due to lack of space. Do you think all the screws could be put in from the inside of the shed? For the base etc? Thanks
Hi, I don't think you can screw them from the inside I would not recommend that. You could assemble it the correct way then shift it into position after. It might take 2 people to move it.
Mine has never been bitten through although I've never stored food inside it. I would say probably not although they can get through wood so it could be possible.
I'm thinking of getting one of these, do you need access all around to assemble it?, mine will be tight up against a fence on 2 sides,, is that a problem,??.. Great video btw,, 👍
Yes you do need access although I just assembled the shed then pushed it up against the fence. It is quite easy if you do a corner at a time the shed slides on the slabs.
Great video. I put one together yesterday and found getting the roof panels into the slot a real headache. Now that it is together, something is not right as I have gaps at each end of the roof as it doesn't fit flush in the gutter area
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks for the advice. I ended up taking it all apart and starting from scratch. I found the problem was once the panels went into the base they wouldn't mind up properly. So ended up making them up outside of the base to make sure they were level, the dropping them in the base. Sorted.
I had the same problem yesterday, I'm building one as part of a landscaping makeover for a lady...the roof pissed me off so much I went home for the day.
I had the same issue with fitting the triangular back piece. The locating "dowels" didn't like up with the gaps in the internal corrugation. I ended having to break the corrugations to make it fit. Spent a good 30mins trying to make it fit before realising it was never going to work. Also ran into issues with the hinge holes being too small and needing drilled up a size to get the screws to fit. Lost about an extra hour because of the issues we had. (base was perfectly level)
@@PhillWyattProjects like the shape of the supports u used inside and how they attached.. I was lost.. lol.. but your video definitely helped.. I built one for my uncle today..
big help! although it took me and my husband about 5 hours to do😝 but to be fair we're like the chuckle brothers when it's comes to anything D.I.Y related 🤣
Thanks a lot for your video. Caution this is not the 6x4 version, but the 4x6. The 6x4 version has a large front door, and seems to be quite criticized. I can't even see it now on Keter's website.. Any information about this ?
I noticed there is some confusion about this. Some sites call it the 6 x 4 and others call it the 4 x 6. I suppose technically it's either but the other version being out causes the confusion. On the Keter site they are currently both listed as the 6 x 4. Argos calls this shed the 4 x 6. B&Q calls it the 6 x 4 🤷♂️

Do you screw the base down to the slabs and how do they cope with bad winds, would the roofs stay on in. Bad storm ?
Yes I anchored the base to the slabs underneath using coach bolts. It's been great for about 16 months now. No problems.
Excellent and clear video which makes me a lot more confident before I begin building the shed. Thanks.
Thanks I'm glad you are finding it useful 👍🏻

How did you put the long screws into base on the side close to the fence ?
Hi Martyn, I just pulled the shed out about 2 feet to gain access. I pushed one corner at a time it slides fairly easily.
Cheers Phil much appreciated 👍🏻
I had to build in a sloping garden and then slot it onto the base. Door fit is very poor as a result.
Nice straightforward job, bet you liked doing airfix kits as a kid
I did actually I had loads of them. I had forgotten all about those until you mentioned it 😄
I have this shed. Hinges are on,but there's a gap,not idea how to fix it so no gap.
How wide is the gap?
@@PhillWyattProjects about an inch
How did you fit the roof gutter screws and base screws on the fence side?
I pulled the shed out a couple of feet then pushed it back.
@@PhillWyattProjects OK thanks, I'm planning on building a 6x8, do you think it's possible to do that with the large size?
What all things can fit in to it ? things like stroller , kids bike , kids car can fit ?
Yes I think all those things would fit in it.
Hi did you get a piece of rubber with yours? Mine was holding the window together in transit. Should this be used somewhere? I can't see any mention of it in the manual. It looks like a seal for the window.
I didn't get any rubber with mine. It could be just packaging? My window doesn't seem to need any rubber seal.
What did you do about not having access to the other side of the shed. Did you push the whole shed out
Yea I pulled it out a couple of feet one corner at a time. Then shuffled it back. It was pretty easy one corner at a time.
Great video can you have the window in the door instead of the sides
Thanks. Actually yes you can. I have seen it done this way before.
Got one of these sheds on order but I need to squeeze it into a 4x6 space with fence on each side how easy is it to move the shed once its built are you able to screw the base to the walls from the inside rather than outside as this would be much easier ?
I only had to move mine up against one side of fence so it was fairly easy. You do need to add the screws from the outside not the inside. It might be tricky putting it between 2 fences but I would say it's possible.
@@PhillWyattProjects am thinking putting it on some kind of roller and moving it into position that way
Great video. Can the door be put on the side rather than the ends?
Hmm no I don't think it can. Although, the window panel can be put on at different locations.
Very helpful but how did you manage all the assembly on the back, particularly screwing the base to the wall panels. Did you have to move the shed?
I was expecting you to seal the bottom panels to stop water coming in?and are the screws rust resistant?
You don't need to seal the bottom panels because they sit inside a channel that allows water to flow out. They screws have no rust on them so far.
The side of my house would just about fit this with only a few cm either side. Problem is I won't have access to either side due to lack of space. Do you think all the screws could be put in from the inside of the shed? For the base etc? Thanks
Hi, I don't think you can screw them from the inside I would not recommend that. You could assemble it the correct way then shift it into position after. It might take 2 people to move it.
thinking about getting one of these ,you made it look so simple to put up , are they sturdy in windy weather cheers Colin
Cheers! Mines been up for 3 years now. Had no problems with the weather.
How did you get the long screws into the base at the fence side? (ours will also be near a fence)
I pulled it out a bit one corner at a time then pushed it back
Excellently explained. Again no fuzz no hassle n to th point 🎯 Thanks for that definitely will b subscribing 😊
Thank you! 👍🏻
Would rats be able to knaw through the plastic? As I was thinking of getting one of these and a keter 1200L storage box aswell.
Mine has never been bitten through although I've never stored food inside it. I would say probably not although they can get through wood so it could be possible.
@@PhillWyattProjects thank you for the reply ☺️
I'm thinking of getting one of these, do you need access all around to assemble it?, mine will be tight up against a fence on 2 sides,, is that a problem,??..
Great video btw,, 👍
Yes you do need access although I just assembled the shed then pushed it up against the fence. It is quite easy if you do a corner at a time the shed slides on the slabs.

Thank you very much, I was hoping you'd say that, 👍👍
How do you fix the door please you didn't show us how the fix the hinges. It leaves a gap
hi there going to be building this same shed this weekend just wondering is it possible to put the window on the other side
Hi, yes you can. There's 2 panels on each side. You can put the window in any of those 4.
Thanks for the vid, of the screws into panels are they supplied, and on instructions, or just something you added to beef up?
All the screws were included.
Looks pretty straightforward Phil. Need to get one of these myself with all the junk I am accumulating 😁👍
Yea they are easy to put up. You spend most of the time just making sure things are properly aligned.
Excellent no fuss video. Thanks.
Thanks Paul👍
Thanks! What size is the opening? Can’t find any dimensions online. Wondering if my larger snowblower will fit through the doorway.
Great video. I put one together yesterday and found getting the roof panels into the slot a real headache. Now that it is together, something is not right as I have gaps at each end of the roof as it doesn't fit flush in the gutter area
The base needs to be very level for the roof to go into place without problems. That is all I can advise. Hope you get it sorted 👍🏻
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks for the advice. I ended up taking it all apart and starting from scratch. I found the problem was once the panels went into the base they wouldn't mind up properly. So ended up making them up outside of the base to make sure they were level, the dropping them in the base. Sorted.
I had the same problem yesterday, I'm building one as part of a landscaping makeover for a lady...the roof pissed me off so much I went home for the day.
I had the same issue with fitting the triangular back piece. The locating "dowels" didn't like up with the gaps in the internal corrugation. I ended having to break the corrugations to make it fit. Spent a good 30mins trying to make it fit before realising it was never going to work. Also ran into issues with the hinge holes being too small and needing drilled up a size to get the screws to fit.
Lost about an extra hour because of the issues we had. (base was perfectly level)
Thanks for the video. Would help if u showed the supports u used
Thanks👍🏻 what do you mean supports?
@@PhillWyattProjects like the shape of the supports u used inside and how they attached.. I was lost.. lol.. but your video definitely helped.. I built one for my uncle today..
Great video, thanks. Is the shed heavy to move/lift to a different position whislt empty?
Thanks 👍🏻 I think it weighs around 65kg. When I wanted to move it, I pushed one corner at a time and the shed slid over the slabs gradually.
@@PhillWyattProjects thank you. Can two people lift it to another location whilst it is empty? Or would it not be rigid enough?
big help! although it took me and my husband about 5 hours to do😝 but to be fair we're like the chuckle brothers when it's comes to anything D.I.Y related 🤣
Thanks! I think it depends what mood your in. Sometimes it takes me ages to put something together. When I'm in the mood for it I'm quite fast.
does it matter that you couldn't drill the large screws into the bottom floor and framework along the side up against the fence?
I did drill them in all round. I shifted the shed forward to do this then shifted it back.
Are they easy to move for when you need to paint fence
I don't plan on moving it I've anchored it to a base. There's enough of a gap for me to paint the fence with a roller on an extension pole.
Thanks a lot for your video.
Caution this is not the 6x4 version, but the 4x6. The 6x4 version has a large front door, and seems to be quite criticized. I can't even see it now on Keter's website.. Any information about this ?
I noticed there is some confusion about this. Some sites call it the 6 x 4 and others call it the 4 x 6. I suppose technically it's either but the other version being out causes the confusion. On the Keter site they are currently both listed as the 6 x 4. Argos calls this shed the 4 x 6. B&Q calls it the 6 x 4 🤷♂️
Assembling ours this week! Thanks for the video. Looks easy enough.
Your welcome 👍
Could some tell me how big the actual box is that the product comes in please ? I can't find a single thing online regarding this . Ta in advance.
Sorted. The box itself measures 1900mm in length 700mm in width and 260mm in depth. And just fits in a 2003 VW Passat estate....happy days.
In what way is this anchored to the ground? Your yard looks quite sheltered, but mine sees a good bit of wind.
Hi, I bolted the base to the slabs. I made a video about it on my channel. It's solid.
