There's absolutely no way anybody can put this together without hours' worth of frustration. Did one of these today with a handyman with experience of putting up lots of wooden and plastic sheds - but a first time for a metal one - and it took eight hours and we're still only up to the roof stage and aren't sure if the doors will even go on properly. Honestly, if you can afford wood or plastic, go for one of those instead. These metal sheds are a nightmare.
Once the handyman gets some more experience with the metal shed, maybe he will be able to assemble the shed easier and faster. I did this by myself for the very first time with any type of shed assembly and it just took me about 12 hours. The manual needs to be larger with better diagrams, and the instructions could use some improvements. Some forethought needs to be given for the following steps in the assembly to ensure that there will be enough tolerance and room for varying installation of parts. There are some tolerance issues that caused me to not be able to secure a couple of screws though. I read the manual before even starting to assemble the shed, and I didn't tighten the screws until the following step(s) was(were) successfully made. I did, however, fail to look enough ahead to the step involving securing the roof with screws. But, that didn't cause any problem in the end. The shed is still standing strong and like new.
