Video helped a lot. This was my second one in the last 3 years. Highly recommend over Duramax and metal sheds.
Only two suggestions:
1. When installing roof pannels have somone push from the outside edge 45 degrees upwards before screwing in so top ridge pieces fit more tightly
2. Use an electric screw driver and do not overtighten the large screws that hold the plastic panels together
3. Install a cheap solar light (where solar is seperate from the light) for the interior. It is fairly dark even in broad daylight.
4. Use a metal/concrete drill bit (9/16) to pre-drill the "self-tapping" screws for the metal snow support brackets near the end of the build
5. Helps being handy and can be done with 2 people in 6-8 hours.
A few points:
(1) Great looking product!
(2) Tremendous value for the price - we paid $1599 CDN at Costco Canada.
(3) Didn't even mind the approx $600 cost of building the foundation (of course pricing depends upon your local lumber prices).
(4) The install video (here) was super helpful.
(5) A DIY NIGHTMARE - I'm about a 7/10 on the handiness scale and this was brutal. We were going to buy the companion piece but now we won't.
(6) I used bad language by the end.
What kind of base did you build for the shed?
I just finished assembling this shed.. My son and friend and I started at 10, done by 4 complete. Well instructed, good to excellent fit on All pieces. Lots of interior light! Great Shed
🧢
I just ordered my shed yesterday. This video will come in handy for sure. Thanks
Hey guys, when you put the steel frame on the walls (step 9) don't try to slide the roof on it. You can screw it up in the frame and then put the frame on the walls, then screw the corners in the window and lateral wall. I promise guys this will save you so much time and frustration. Lol
Excellent Video. Not the exact Shed I purchased, but close enough that this video helped a LOT.
Mike, which model do you have? 60005?
@@Megafrankjr That's sounds right, but not 100% sure. Mine does not have windows on the doors and does have skylights. Your Video was awesome and being able to use the QR code from the instruction manual when I had a question made it relatively simple to put up.
Your video was really helpful. Thank you . I successfully installed my storage shed today, though it took more time for me than the time you took. I really appreciate your efforts in making this video which came handy . Otherwise, i would not have been able to installed my shed just witht he help of the manual
Great Video! Dont let all the complainers and negative Nancys on here steer anyone away on putting this up together, After putting out all the parts and setting up a table and my tools, I put this up by myself in 3 hours taking my sweet time. I encountered the issue with the corner folding panels as well but you just have to get some sense be creative, I placed a piece of block underneath the flooring part where the panel pops and snaps into and pulled down with my body weight and popped right in. Everything else was a piece of cake.
3 hours is total BS, nice try though 😂
bullshit
I just did it by my self in day and so !
All goes well with instructions fallowing.
Thanks
by yourself,no extra hands? You should have done a video.
It's possible for one taller person. I did my whole build solo in 3 days. Yeah an extra set of hands is helpful during some parts but it's definitely possible
after watching this video, make sure you scan the url codes in the assembly booklet. Added video instruction are Very Helpful. did mine today. took 7 hours 50 minutes. no help until i got to the roof. turned out Great though.
i had an old wooden existing shed (6x8) on a concrete slab. Tore that down, and enlarged the slab to 8x10
Are the floor screws long enough to anchor into a deck, or can you swap in longer screws for this?
Wish the manual explained it as easy as a video. Great video.
they make it look easy, the parts I got was rough cut or something.. had to use hammer to make them fit
other than that so far so good
Bought this great product .
Thanks for the video 💪.
A tip for anyone installing this shed: It may be better to screw in the 4 skylight pieces by hand since the plastic pegs can very easily become destroyed when using an impact. Best to use a very low torque tool or just use a screw driver. For a better seal, apply cauking around the skylight lip.
This video helped me in assembling my shed. Without it, this job would have been very challenging.
Great video it helped a ton. I do have questions though. Step 9.12 you put the gable over the front door but for me that whole section is super wobbly. Am i supposed to be forcing that gable edges into the channel of the gutter channel or is the only thing that secures that the brace you put in in step 11.5? It just seems all loosy goosey. In the video it seems secure but doesn't mention how that's done.
I certainly wish I'd found this before assembling although folling directions were too bad until installing the front gable support from door hinge to door hinge which wasn't in the directions and upon looking it up on TH-cam I found it and want to thank you for this information.
I made that same mistake and was furious.
Just had mine delivered today! Perfect timing, such a great video. Thank you so much for making this :)
How did your build turn out? What were the most difficult portions of the build? I am not normally a do it yourselfer with this type of project do you have any recommendations you can share -- I thank you for your time.
Finished Building this shed this past weekend.
Things to note:
Give yourself a full weekend or two days. End to end it took us 9 hours or so.
You will need Beer and lots of it lol..
You need two people for sure if not three. One on reserve for the end, and with strong shoulders. I’ve got weak shoulders lol
You’ll need music to drown out the noise or to just dance your worries away.
On a more serious note:
DEFINITELY USE THE VIDEO AND THE INSTRUCTIONS. MAKES A 100% DIFFERENCE WHEN TRYING TO DECIPHER CERTAIN INSTRUCTIONS.
Build the sections in the beginning as they say in the video and then start to assemble.
The tape they use is plenty for all the windows, so you’ll have left over. I’m thinking it’s for the skylights in case they leak. Be gentle when screwing those in, they are brittle.
You’ll have TONS of left over screws which had me double/triple checking and I got a bit paranoid that I’d missed something.
You will need all the tools they recommend and then some. I used a regular drill mostly, but you will need an impact drill for the end when you’re doing the self-drilling screws.
You will need a short bit extender and a long one.
Otherwise, it’s pretty straightforward.
Good Luck 😆🤣
How did you get the corners in? I spent half an hour with the first one and just can’t get it in
@@jazminyz wall corners or the roof corners?
@@oth1295 wall, haven’t gotten to roof yet😅 I ended up filing the wall a little so it pops in. Probably will do that on the rest but it’s too hot to do it rn (96F)
@@jazminyz honestly I had no issues with the wall but follow the video and double check the panels are in the correct spot. I didn't have to make any physical adjustments, so it could the be panels are in the wrong spot. Some are long shot and shot long.
@@oth1295 yea I double checked multiple times lol. Maybe they didn’t mold it great cuz after I trimmed it a little it clicked in no problem
Nice shed
I wish I had enough money to buy it
Very helpful video.Good job.
Some bolts holes are small, attach thing to still is not easy at all if not impossible
Every shed I have ever put together has the part number stamped on the metal pieces, your company decided not too..
We also were missing a few bolts and nuts with black tops.. We did not misplace any, the bags were opeded and dumped into a cup..

I just bought this got to the end of the build and the center truss is crooked can’t finish
Also install some Foam Rope underneath ur doors if u have sprinklers near by so the water doesn't get in there :)
I need to build wood floor. How much bigger do I need to build the floor base for the 10x8 shed? Or do I build it exactly 10’x8’?
I am waiting for my 10x8 lifetime shed to arrive.
The base is 94" X 118" so an 8' X 10' base is fine.
Having just built this shed to 99% completion, including snow reinforcement kit add-on, I can say that it is relatively straightforward to build but complex and therefore time consuming. It is a minimum full day assembly and at least another ½ day to prepare the wooden foundation.
Small mistakes early on can lead to lots backtracking if you're not careful, and many of the diagrams have to be read very very carefully or may not include visual aids to assembly opting instead for detailed written instuctions which may hamper the less literate.
If i had to choose between assembling this shed or builidng one from lumber, I would opt for the more durable option of building a more solid building for $2500-3000 myself.
Our corners don’t align with the window panel wall so it’s very hard to fix the roof panel not sure if it is due to base being uneven
That could definitely be an issue with an uneven base. I recommend emailing pictures to our shed experts so they can take a better look at what may be the problem. They can be reached at +1 (800) 242-3865 or at customercare@lifetime.com.
very good video
Great!
For sure-couldn’t agree more!
Gracias por compartir este bonito video y por la explicación a detalle ; voy a la mitad del ensamble y me encuentro este video tan oportuno ! Gracias de verdad , sera de gran utilidad !👍
Cual es el precio porfavor?
The corner walls DON'T SNAP IN THAT EASY. The side wall jumps out of the bottom channel.
How tall are the walls from the foundation to the bottom of the roof? Or how tall was the gentleman doing the assembly?
Has anyone moved one that is already assembled? Is it possible to use dunnage and move it with a machine or manpower?
What accessory did he use in-between the power driver and screw bit? Can't find them anywhere.
Some models of the sheds are now excluding those parts to save cost. I called and asked about the hooks. I did not get them or the gusset parts in 11.2 and no luck. The hooks would be super helpful and those gusset parts would offer additional roof support but not the were not included in my box or mentioned in my manual and I got the same exact shed
I tried everything and can not get the corners in. Is there any other way besides the block?
Hammer
Our lifetime logo door came with a hole punched in the front 2 feet from the bottom in the right panel part, that is not supposed to be there. The boxes were not damaged. We need a replacement door. How do we get that?

The biggest Headache of the whole thing
have model 60318. on step 2.15 i have to slide in support tube DSP into DSM… but the end of DSP is squared and the hole in DSM is circular
HELP!!!!
We are in the process of switching our DSM to square holes instead of circular which may have caused the confusion. Our customer service team can order you the correct parts.

Also please keep in mind that this is not the assembly video for 60318. There are different parts and steps for the 60318. If you need an assembly video, you can download the BILT app for a 3D step-by-step video.
Here's my mini-review: The 10' x 8' Lifetime brand Outdoor Storage Shed is attractive but it doesn't go together by simply slipping pieces into slots and then inserting screws as you might expect. For example, to insert the corner pieces into the floor you have to use brute strength to bend the plastic to snap it in (after raising the floor on a block), and similarly considerable strength is needed to flex the plastic when joining the sides of the wall sections together, and some other parts like assembling the door latch mechanisms.
The instruction manual was not placed in a plastic bag, so when the boxes were opened after being stored outside, rain had soaked it. After drying it in an oven some of the pages were illegible after peeling them apart. Fortunately, the instructions are also online so I printed the missing pages from those (although for the identical model the online instructions were not entirely the same as the printed ones, and were missing one section.)
The instructions are good and well illustrated, but a little puzzling at first because only some of the pieces are labelled with the instruction code name, making them a little harder to pair up with the corresponding instruction than need be.
The pictures of the various types of screws (e.g. "AZW") are lifesize, making it easier to identify them even though their bag is not labelled e.g. AZW.
The instructions include an unusual wedge method to bend the frame to get the doors to align height wise, but this is unnecessary with a perfectly flat base underneath. However, there is no method to adjust the gap between the doors, which is fixed by the arch over top of them. It turned out that the end doors collided or overlapped with each other slightly, making it extremely difficult to close them. By loosening the screws holding the arch together and removing the door latch's aluminum strike plate, it was possible to get them working.
There are a few gaps around the tops of the doors which are big enough for wasps to enter, but some duct tape may keep them out. The gaps under the doors are considerable, so to keep snakes and mice out, adding a strip along there is a good idea.
If you use the recommended wood floor underneath, vermin can burrow under to create a nice dry nest, but with the drain holes and seams in the plastic floor their smell will rise into the shed, so consider using a concrete base.
It was close to two days work for two of us, plus the construction of the base. The instructions recommend two people. A lot of the prep work, fitting the parts together e.g. the windows to their sections, can be done ahead of time by one person. A third person as recommended in some videos would be a bit inactive during much of the assembly part.
Hopefully Lifetime will redesign this excellent shed to make it easier to assemble.
Thank you for your time to review this product and telling us your experience with the assembly. We always are looking for more ways to make our products better so we appreciate the feedback!
I stopped reading as soon as your solution to improper fitting doors was duct tape .
what is best way to add lightning please, i also want to keep a freezer in the shed
Since this is a plastic shed, we don't recommend putting any electricity in the shed since we have not tested it. Doing so may void your warranty.
What’s the part number of the piece the doors go into on the floor??
Unmm this was cake walk😮
Can be built by one man with knowledge.
A bit fiddly.
And a alot of the assembly processes could be shortened by the factory.
Corners i found putting a block under the floor pannel gave me extra leverage to push them through.
A day to build could be done in less with more bodies.
I fully built it by myself. You'll need to be at least 5'11" and give yourself about 3 days if your leisurely
One man, gloves and creative ingenuity g lot it done. The warping of the front and back walls from the sun made it impossible for the gutters to reach….. so I used tape and leaned something heavy against the front wall to get first roof section in. It was down hill from there. Took me 3 days at 4-5 hours each day, but I’m old af, outta shape. This didn’t include me breaking down the pallet on the street and walking EVERY piece 85 feet to the back of my yard the day before. Best workout I had since making babies 14 years ago. One complaint, whoever was in charge of trimming the excess plastic needs a good talking to.
I assume the box with the instructions is the box with material you will need first!!! Right????
Many thanks for the great video and upload.
I am about to purchase this shed however I am not clear how the shed is anchered to the concrete base. Are parts included for this purpose?
Thanks in advance.
The hardware to anchor the shed is not included. You will need to purchase the hardware from a hardware store, you will need eight 3/8" x 2" concrete screws and eight 3/8" x 1" fender washers.
When I put in the middle truss all of a sudden the floor is popping up right by the door so much that the wall comes out of the floor. Help!
Interesting. Do you mind sending us pictures of the assembly you have so far so we can trouble shoot some ideas of what may be going on? You can send the images to youtube@lifetime.com.
My shed did not come with the small truss brackets in step 2

How do you get the walls out after they are locked in place?
You will just need to reverse the process of assembling the panels. So slide the panel in the opposite direction to "unlock" it, and then pull the panel out.
Do you have to use lots of force. As ours is not budging
I don't have the cotter pin is there a specific size that I need to buy

My set had a lot of extra hardware
the oceans 11 music helps
Step 11 is near impossible. How do you screw through metal and make it look that easy? Did you pre drill the holes?
Sorry to hear this. We did not pre-drill the holes before assembly, we had the our impact drive at the highest torque setting and put a lot of pressure as we drove it through.
Theres a gap between the doors, do you know waht we could have build wrong
The manual shows that the plywood underneath the shed should have 30 drainage holes. Yet the plastic floor that will be on top the plywood won't have any opening. Anyone has any idea why drainage hole are needed? For the unlikely chance of water spill in the shed?
The drainage holes are there to prevent flooding in the shed. When there is a rain storm or what not, instead of the water going directly into the shed it will enter the drain holes.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly Thanks for letting me know
It is to stop rain from seeping in under the plastic floor and rotting out plywood over time. Unless you seal the perimeter well where plastic floor sits on wood.
Not really!!! It is to drain the rain going in the perimeter between wood and plastic and over time rotting out plywood.
how much do each of the two box's weigh? Thanks
Box 1 is 274.5 lbs. and Box 2 is 222 lbs.
Very helpful, but I would emphasize to people up front that this is for the 10x8" shed and that the 8x10' shed has a DIFFERENT video. I spent 20 minutes watching the 8x10 video before realizing the issue and noticed some things didn't make sense.
Thanks for the recommendation. We ask all customers in the beginning of the video to check to see if their model number is the description box to make sure this video works for them. We also add the description of the shed in the description box as well as the thumbnail.
Everything that is provided for step 11 I did not receive in my packages when purchased
Uh oh. That should not be the case. I'd be happy to send you the parts you're missing. Please email us at youtube@lifetime.com with the model number and product id of your shed. We will also need a proof of purchase for our quality team to ensure this won't be a common issue.
I didnt get the ADZ parts.

15 hours with 2 people the pieces nota assemble exactly ang easy as show un the vídeo
Possible avoir vidéo en français merci
Haha bonne chance avec ca ..
The instructions for model 60330 say to make the base exactly 94" X 118". Is there any reason why I SHOULD NOT make it slightly larger (96'' x 120'')? This is for a wood frame pad.
I have made wood base 8x10’
Start assembly tomorrow
I made my base exactly 8x10. It's nice cuz you have a little wiggle room
The panel in the video is not the same as the panel in the package.
We'd like to look into this further. Please reach out to us at youtube@lifetime.com with the model number and 3 letter ID of the panel that you are referring to.
How many hours does it take to assemble it ?
It depends on you and the help you have. Most reviewers have said it takes them a couple of days.
2-3 days comfortably
Well I just purchased and put together the 8x10 60005 shed- that was something I would not want to do again! First off, yes the design is good (in theory) and the videos make it seem so easy….. NOT! I watched visors over and over (I’m not stupid) just to make sure I have it right. Putting together trusses I was shorted on some screws and had to go purchase some to put together. The corner panels are hard to put in place and took some finagling to get in place (don’t believe the videos when they show it so easy to put together). Next beef is I chose to put it in corner of yard and build a wood platform at the intersection of 2 fences (getting concrete slab poured would have been many wheelbarrows of concrete to back yard)-this wasn’t greatest of ideas because you need to get behind and on sides of shed to have someone hold panels in place and I had to shift my shed floor out and away from fence and then try to put it in back in place so don’t secure shed floor to platform (which I didn’t) until I had everything put together. Now doors are my next beef-you have the walls up and trusses in and they say just place the door poles in the bushing on floor and push a cotter pin through bushing and hole in door pole and spread cotter pin. Fine (took awhile on this task folks) but got in and then they say put on front gable and push onto door poles but do that and then u need a 3rd person to hold doors in place while you’re trying to secure gable to trusses and get on roof panels at same time. It was a pain to get roof panels attached to gable ends and trusses and beware-if you screw one of screws into plastic but have to back off because something ain’t quite right you will lose your screw purchase in plastic. The videos say install these metal drainage plates by roof trusses but the manual shows what they gave you is plastic with not get instructions on how to install them (c’mon Lifetime update ur videos to reflect what you have in package) and took awhile to figure out how to install plastic part they gave me. Also they talk about installing foam between roof and trusses and gee they didn’t give me any foam so I had to get some and make do. Next beef is the videos-after showing detail maybe show the full picture to see the whole thing. I’m a pretty experienced handy person and mechanically inclined so I’d caution people to think about this purchase beforehand-videos make it look easy but believe me it’s not all it looks to be. While I’m typing this I’m seeing the shed being put together and it is not the the same as shown in video from QR code scan (c’mon Lifetime update ur videos).
We were shorted on hardware as well.
1st off thanks for the video which helped alot.
my shed now installed looks amazing and everyone who's seen it says wow, where did you get your shed from .I'm not too sure a wooden shed would get the same reaction. lol.
However having just finished installing mine I've got to say you're spot on Dirk regarding the doors.they are a complete failure in the way they are attached to the shed.
it's like the doors are an after thought.
IMO the door hinges and the way they attach need redesigning.I think it needs more like a upvc setup where there is adjustability on the hinges so the doors align better.
another massive underrated comment is how flat the base needs to be .
last thing is don't be fooled by the video the guy makes it look so easy but it's not in reality.for example you never see him tugging and wrestling to get things to line up,which i was constantly doing.
also why
go to the trouble of sealing the windows and putting insect netting on the vents when like said in previous comments there are gaps here and there.
As Dirk said get your shit together regarding the putting self tapping (adz ) screws in to pastic holes ! it's very much a one time deal.
overall I'm happy I've got the shed as opposed to a plain wooden one.
once again lifetime thanks for the video.
@@andyoffless5696 thanks for seconding my opinion on my shed comments. I was mildly surprised that company did not reach out to talk about my comments on shed.I’m actually still messing with doors after a year and after some further shimming I’ve eliminated most of door issues. Take care.
@@brewpa
glad you got your doors sorted at last Dirk.
i enjoyed reading your comments .maybe lifetime don't want to improve and are happy 😕.
good luck with your shed m8.
Also it was so like doing a puzzle trying to find the piece and then trying to figure out where it went. The video should actually show you how to do each step not take this and put it here without showing how. Took me three long days to complete what should have been done in one day. And John’s instruction video showed every piece drop right into place. I wonder how many takes that yook😢
I don’t see much support for the roof to the walls only screwing into the plastic. :/ a good gust of wind would blow that roof off surely.
there's very little over hang from the roof to the wall, not much for wind to catch.
They also have support bars underneath the panels that u install to help the weight of snow
Did the girl ever get out?
My thoughts exactly
😆😆😆

Garbage… the front gable does not fit that easily… the door hinge (not the bar) doesn’t fit under the trusts.. it’s slicing my door the more I work at it
Just built this Shed mine was a 10X8 with the side door, so a total of 4 doors. Now I will be straight up with u, thus thing WIlLL give u a run for ur money if u attempt to build by urself. Doing it one person is nearly impossible, lifetime knows this which is why they charge $600 to do ir for u. However just be patient it's doable. But the instructions suck!!! So u need to have common sense
Thank you for your honest review. We do mention in this video and in the instruction manual that it is very important to have a helper with you during the process. It makes certain parts a little less challenging.
Too bad you didn’t have a quality control department that at least put instructions in the box. Neither one had the info.
We’re screwed for the weekend.
Yeah, that's definitely our bad... Use this link to help find a PDF of the instruction manual: www.lifetime.com/customerservice/assemblyhelp. You can then search all products by model number and language.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly We did that. The only other issue we had was the slotted holes still had plastic in them which made it difficult to see where your are tapping the screw into. We spent some time doing it to make it easier. Clarity on the instructions with the pics could be a little better. I am an engineer so building it was not a challenge. Other than that it was a good buy for the shed itself. Only thing left to do is level out the doors. Thanks.
Wow! Dude gots a bandaid on a finger. This is not a risk free operation.
Unrelated incident! Scouts honor!
You make the installation so easy but really the corners are hard to put in and the manual that comes with it is completely rubbish. Please make manual that consumers will understand better , I was helping a friend to put her shed together and my question why not build with wood? Her response was because plastic much cheaper, I have build shed many times with but lifetime was crucial that's all I can say to this product.
This video is them making the install easier... Can't ask for much more
This plastic bends and curves on the sun! Nearly impossible to assemble under direct sun lights. After one year walls begin to bend even more. Had to reinforce. Very disappointing.
The kit you shipped to my client is missing part DSN. It should have been in Box GPS. It took you 45 days to ship this product. Will it take you another month plus to fix this? Honestly, this is a disaster for my client. Their renovation schedule is now screwed.
Sorry to hear your frustrations with this build and with missing parts. Please reach out to us at youtube@lifetime.com and we can work together on how to make this experience better for you.
@Lifetime Products Assembly my client has already been in touch with you. Your company offered a local contractor to assist them *in like 4 weeks* AND the client gets NO discount or labor service to make up for your mistakes. Shame on you.
@@goawayplzthnx We are in a different department from our customer service team so we do not know full details of the situation, however, we'd like to do our part in to help ease your and your clients frustrations. You or your client can reach out to us directly at

@@LifetimeProductsAssembly well, reach out to the right department.
Most likely your client misplaced it lol. Sorry
We don't need to watch you put in every screw
I disagree.. at times I found it helpful to see exactly where each screw needed to go, as sometimes the instruction diagrams were a bit unclear. They sped up the process of driving the screws so I think it was a great compromise.
The only thing I would add about the screws, is don’t over drive/tighten them, and be VERY careful using the screw to pull two parts together. This isn’t would, and you are screwing into thin plastic. Easily stripped, and also having to take out a screw to re-do it can ruin the hole the screw needs to go in to to “bite” and hold the pieces together
Never never again. I am fairly handy and have installed everything from kitchens , to plumbing etc. I installed a previous version of the 10x8 from lifetime maybe 10 years ago or so. This version is cheap cheap compared to that. Also I'd be here for hours timestamping all the areas that are either wrong in the instructiona or does not work exactly as the guy in the video showed such as easily clipping in the corners or simple things like put holes in the wall (AHD) panels so you see if you're lining up to the next wall panel. Overall I regret buying this and it's also 2 times more expensive than the one I bought and installed in the past. Time will tell if it holds up but I regret wholeheartedly and will review any chance and everywhere I can. All these companies selling the same cheap crap with terrible machining
Yeah I agree, for 1.6k, should be a little more rugged. Especially the flooring
My wife bought one of these without consulting me. It is miserable to assemble (and obscenely expensive) and nowhere near as smooth and easy as the video. Components don't align nicely and as others have said, the corners don't just snap in. Definitely a bit of editing and cheating happening in the video.
How did you end up getting the corners in?
@jazminlopez2593 eventually but with much frustration. Some of the roof panels were even worse though.
조립하는 중입니다. 종이 설명서는 큰 도움이 안 됩니다. 혼자 동영상 돌려보며 6시간 조립했습니다. 두어시간 더 투자하면 완성되겠네요.
Don’t buy. Base problem
For 2000 CAD you could give us some bits at least .shity design to anoying .unmarked parts .....i wish i could go back in time and not buy it
Do NOT purchase this shed. It is not worth the 2k$ price tag that Costco sells it for and it’ll take the smallest gust of wind for it to fly away or break down and its very cheaply made
We're sorry that you are not happy with your new shed. Our sheds are rated for 65 mph winds. You can increase that by anchoring your shed and adding an extreme weather kit which would increase that to 90 mph. Anchoring your shed to the foundation will help prevent it from blowing over. The last section of the manual shows what you will need to do to complete the anchoring. Failure to anchor the shed may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly we had 25kph wind last night and the shed is completely destroyed. Talk about false advertising
@@Halloween-Taken-Seriously Was the shed anchored down? You can send photos of your product to warrantyclaims@lifetime.com so that a warranty representative can look into this for you.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly I will send an email to them and no it was not anchored down. If it needs to be anchored down in 25 kph wind then that says a lot
