I did it!! It took about 10 hours by myself but the video was so helpful! 10/10 get a friend for the 6 roof panels and the doors MY GOD that was a struggle
Thank you for the video. I'm a 55 yr old woman and put this 8 x 7.5 foot shed together alone in about 8 hours. I managed on my own with the help of wooden shelves to help lift for the door mount pins, an extra heavy ladder for outside pressure and a couple large clamps for the Gables and door mounting. The video was a life saver! Thank you!
Is section 8 necessary? The shelf interferes with the tall shelves we want to put on that back wall. I fear that shelf may double as a stability point, can we omit it?
Your sheds are junk. Just bought one and I’ve spent more time trying to make the pieces fit than anything else. I know all my other pieces fit because they go in nicely but then I get to one that is bigger than the span that it is supposed to fit in. And yes, it’s the right piece. Junk. Absolute junk.
You people need to do better on your floor panels they are pieces of crap. This is unacceptable for the amount of money that is paid for these things. You make it look so easy in your little air conditioned room and pretty sure that they make sure yours was made perfectly. If I wanted to buy crap I would have went to a junkyard
I'm building mine on the wood frame, as the instructions show. But I want to be able to move it (gently) around. So I put 2, 6"x6"x10' treated post under it, cut as skids. Mine will house the devices for a solar off grid power, for my farm lake. Looking good so far. Thanks for the assembly video.
The floor panels are extremely hard to put together. In fact, I had to take a saw and cut out the two interior locking sections because they’re too warped it would not come together whoever engineered this type of lock system for the flooring needs to know that it does not work, need a new design
Perfect video but the product needs better labeling sure you can figure out what to use by looking closely but why not stamp the part number to each part and each different bolt have its own bag.
I have a question - I was able to follow the instructions and assemble this shed. Now I have noticed that when I close the door while standing inside the shed, the bottom right and left side of the doors have light coming in and enough space for a small mice to get in,. What can I do to close these two small spaces? Winter is coming and these small critters will try to find any warm places for the winter and with piled up snow I will not have access to the shed till May. So if any small critter gets in it will cause a havoc in the shed.
Thank you for this video! I was able to ditch the manual except for some hardware identification and the mirror orientation on the side panel (couldn’t see your orientation in the video). Had no one to help so it took about 6.5 hours. I too struggled with attaching the rear roof panel to the rear gable and rear roof cap. I stuck my screwdriver into the rear roof panel hole to give me leverage to pull it where it needed to go to align the holes. For the roof cap, I figured that the more you bend/fold it, the easier it is to align. You can even screw half of it in, then push up on it and screw in the rest. That was a lifesaver for me. Hope this helps someone
This shed is the most annoying thing I have ever built. The parts are warped out of the box and NOTHING lines up. My son and I have to pull, push, and bend everything to get the screws in. Now we are stopped on the first roof panel because the edge of the wall and the front gable are anything but straight. I’m ready to tear it apart and haul the whole thing to the dump. It would have been a better investment to just purchase a prebuilt shed of this size and have it delivered versus all these holes off effort and can’t get the roof on. This guy has to be using brand new parts out of the factory. He does even hold the roof piece to put the screws in. Mine has a 1” gap between the roof slat and the truss so now what? Grrr… I have two storage benches and a trash bin from this company that I really like but after this shed, no more.

Gravel is not a foundation that we recommend. If you can't pour a cement pad, you can build a pressure treated wood platform. Refer to your manual in section 1 for the instructions on how to do that.

@@LifetimeProductsAssembly the final part of the roof on the back corner would not lineup, it was 2 inches off. I had to force it together. Now that is completely assembled, it is a pretty good product. It just took quite a while to assemble like about four days. a lot of the holes would not line up. However, for $900 they should do the trick nicely now that the project is completed.

The right front corner panel did not “snap-in/click-in” for me, but I was still able to complete the shed. It did throw off the leveling a bit on the rear left side but I made it work.
@@mrakhsha I initially left it like that (I did not snap it in), and simply started to screw the wall panels together. But then decided to undo it and made the hole on the floor for that panel a bit larger with a small knife. So I was finally able to place the corner panel in the floor slot/hole.
Hi there, for section 4.4 where you attach the door latch to the left door. The strike plate provided doesn’t align with the holes on the front and back. Is this strike plate necessary *part AIA. Or can i just attach the latch?
These sheds are junk don't waste your money. The doors never shut properly. Wind can probably blow this down. I had mine less than three years and roof caved completely in during normal winter... not sturdy at all...
The corners was not fun. Also had a tough time getting the roof panels lined up but all in all not to bad. The video helps a lot more than the instructions that’s for sure. Lol
Does anyone know where the little black piece goes? It’s called AIW. Looks like part of the shelf almost but there’s nothing in the manual about it or in the video
Do you know which torque number we should set our impact drills at? I have a regular Dewalt 18V impact drill and I plan on using a number 6 torque number. I didn't find any recommendations about this topic. Thank you.
The torque setting depends on the part of the assembly you are on. As long as the setting isn’t stripping out the screws and is tightening the screws and bolts all the way you should be good.
Just build mine. Taking a day off work to recover. If it’s not perfectly level I’m gonna pray for you. This assembly video has a lot of try again edits.😂
Expert assembly can be scheduled by contacting 1-800-336-3865 Opt. 1. They are available M-F 8 am to 5 pm MST. Prices varies based on product, location and unique requirements.
It is a great video showing the techniques for the installation and not just how to do it. I hope you can stress the importance of the 8' panel at the back wall of the shed. It is also for reinforcement of the shed and not just for storage.
Please send pictures to customercare@lifetime.com of your roof panels so we can determine further action and to help you have a better assembly experience.
Have someone help you push up or down on the metal frame of the roof so help align the holes. I had the same issue. Probably due to misalignment/unleveled base/foundation.
Well done! The video has answers that should be in the printed material as I'm one to learn by reading, but the video made the assembly very easy. Thank you for the video!
Lifetime or whomever can answer this too. I want to install on my front driveway which is all level cement. Do I have to put a sub floor under it for water to drain under it without one whenit/if it rains or when I wash down the driveway? If so, what kind of sub flooring would you recommend I use? Thanks
I just dont know what im missing... last 2 ridge panel where they over lap. Screw just doesnt grab that last panel its like i am a 1/8" too short 🤷♂️ yes all others grabbed and went smooth... these 2 last screws are the bane of my existance 😅

The shelf doesn’t line up right and I made sure everything was assembled correctly up to that point, I just tripled check and everything is put up right. Matches everything in the video and the manual. Don’t understand what could be wrong.
Is your shelf at an angle or is it not lining up with the holes? If it's at an angle, you may need to adjust your brackets. If it's not lining up with the holes you don't need to align it directly to the holes, just close enough to keep it balance. If you have additional questions you can always reach out to our customer service experts. They can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at customercare@lifetime.com.

Watching this video before assembly, I had a question - there's hardly any space for me to assemble the back gable as the shed will be on a concrete pad at the rear corner of the back yard. Does the front gable need to be done first or can we start at the back and then work our way to the front gable where the doors are?
Me too. I used ratcheting straps across the top. One side lined up so I screwed that in, then threw the strap over the the other side and ratcheted them into place
I have a leftover black plastic piece approximately 12”x5” (rough guess) it’s definately not the long shelf for the back wall. Does anyone know what it is? Kind of looks like a small step maybe.
What are the weight and dimensions of the 2 boxes when you pick it up at the store for an 8x7.5 shed? I want to get one at Sam's but I only have a car with the rear seats go down.
I was able to get it home in a mini van with the front seats all the way forward and the back seats just folded not removed. I was originally going to put it on top of the van. Hahaha I thought twice and just had a super uncomfortable ride home. Thank God only a 10mi. drive lol.

The foundation is the cement or wooden platform that needs to go under the shed. The flooring is included but not the foundation. Since video is about the assembly of the actual shed it self, we do not go over the preparation for the foundation.
Realistically how long does this take to put together straight out of the box? Do you need a second person to assemble? Does it have to be attached to a foundation or can it sit in the grass and be fine? The place I live has a cement slab but it is holding an old rusted shed I don't want to pay to remove their waste so I am wondering if it will work well and stay in place without attaching it to a foundation, thank you. Nice video, had me thinking I can do this solo but let's get real, so I know what I need to do before I order this since the store says it doesn't deliver, thank you.
The amount of time it takes to build is based on you and your helper. It can take several hours or a couple of days. A second person is essential in some or all steps. Having a helper will ensure that thing align properly and it helps things stay in place. Foundation is required for all our sheds. A foundation will make things all stay in place and help with the longevity of the product.

I'm thinking about buying a couple of Lifetime sheds - probably the 8'x5' ones. Anyone here had their's for a few years now? How well has it held up - especially the doors? Any bowing/cracking of the plastics happening? I've read other reviews saying you can't really rely on the warranty. Ideally I want this thing to last me like 20 years or more. Are my expectations realistic?
Sometimes these square tubes can be tricky. Our first tip is inserting the square tube starting at the other end. If that doesn't work you can use a rubber mallet on the end of the tube. If that still doesn't work we recommend slightly enlarging the hole that the tube slides into. The final tip is turning the door right side up and hitting the tube on some concert to help it slide into the the opening on the door.
Replacement parts are available and can be ordered through our Customer Service Department. Our Customer Service Team can be reached at 800-225-3865 opt. 1 or by email at customercare@lifetime.com. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).
Assembled ours yesterday. Watching the video first put wonderful perspective to the written instructions and helped it happen with confidence. It took 2 of us 5 hours to install our shed. We used a paver base that was mostly even and didn't have any issues. Wonderful product and company!
Would you be able to provide the exact dimensions (in inches) for the top of the wooden foundation platform in order to have it fit flush with the sides of this shed?
Timing of it all is tricky to say since it depends all on you and who you have to help you. It can take a couple of hours or it can take a couple of days.

All my material is warped
Need to install side window
Can you put the window wall on the opposite wall?
Yes, you can put both window wall panel on either side.
Hello, if I would like to have a window on other side of the wall. Would be possible to install it there ?
Thank you
Yes, you can!
Hi there, for section 4.4 where you attach the door latch to the left door. The strike plate provided doesn’t align with the holes on the front and back. Is this strike plate necessary *part AIA. Or can i just attach the latch?
Curious, can you swap what side the window panel goes on? Guessing no.
Yes you can! If you want the window panel on the right side you can do that and vise versa.
I can't even take it back
I just built this. Ask me anything!
Took 8 hours including a lunch break and lazy start with two people.
These sheds are junk don't waste your money. The doors never shut properly. Wind can probably blow this down. I had mine less than three years and roof caved completely in during normal winter... not sturdy at all...
Y’all make it look so easy to install but honestly it’s a pain 😂
way better than the instructions. thank God for this video 😆 🤣
I must say a big thank you 🙏🏽 this video help me so so much
The corners was not fun. Also had a tough time getting the roof panels lined up but all in all not to bad. The video helps a lot more than the instructions that’s for sure. Lol
How did you get the last roof panel on I’m having the hardest time getting it to line up
Same+
After step 6.4, why not anchor it to the concrete pad at that time? Why wait till the whole shed is built?
I anchored mine in place after getting the floor down and positioned where I wanted it. Didn't have any issue.
Gracias muchachos por excelente video de como armarlo paso a paso; lo instale sin ninguna complication. Muchas gracias
seriously who would not give 5 stars. great video. thanks
Thanks for the clear explanation and how to video. Very helpful, made assembly much easier. Awesome job guy's.
These sheds are garbage. Everything strips out and I have been hand tightening everything. Many screws don't even try to get tight!
Does anyone know where the little black piece goes? It’s called AIW. Looks like part of the shelf almost but there’s nothing in the manual about it or in the video
Very helpful thank you! We built in about 4 hours
Hiw to put side windows in
Refer to section 12 at 30:38 of this video.
Do you know which torque number we should set our impact drills at? I have a regular Dewalt 18V impact drill and I plan on using a number 6 torque number. I didn't find any recommendations about this topic. Thank you.
The torque setting depends on the part of the assembly you are on. As long as the setting isn’t stripping out the screws and is tightening the screws and bolts all the way you should be good.
Just build mine. Taking a day off work to recover. If it’s not perfectly level I’m gonna pray for you. This assembly video has a lot of try again edits.😂
Thank you
Great video. Now where do I hire someone to assemble it for me?
Expert assembly can be scheduled by contacting 1-800-336-3865 Opt. 1. They are available M-F 8 am to 5 pm MST. Prices varies based on product, location and unique requirements.
It is a great video showing the techniques for the installation and not just how to do it. I hope you can stress the importance of the 8' panel at the back wall of the shed. It is also for reinforcement of the shed and not just for storage.
Did mine today. Great video thanks
On the last two roof panels the one the left is curving up and is not allinging with the roof or the wall
Please send pictures to customercare@lifetime.com of your roof panels so we can determine further action and to help you have a better assembly experience.
Have someone help you push up or down on the metal frame of the roof so help align the holes. I had the same issue. Probably due to misalignment/unleveled base/foundation.
@@rbarron007 thanks I figured that out a month ago because it was not aligning
Well done! The video has answers that should be in the printed material as I'm one to learn by reading, but the video made the assembly very easy. Thank you for the video!
It took me and my dad 8 hours 😢
Lifetime or whomever can answer this too.
I want to install on my front driveway which is all level cement. Do I have to put a sub floor under it for water to drain under it without one whenit/if it rains or when I wash down the driveway? If so, what kind of sub flooring would you recommend I use? Thanks
I just dont know what im missing... last 2 ridge panel where they over lap. Screw just doesnt grab that last panel its like i am a 1/8" too short 🤷♂️ yes all others grabbed and went smooth... these 2 last screws are the bane of my existance 😅

@@LifetimeProductsAssembly i just went and bought 2 1/16th" longer screws and it worked great.
Thank you for making this GREAT video with all the details in how to build it with simple explanation step by step. You guys are awesome
Well done
Anyone else have alot of hardward left over? And an extra window?
The shelf doesn’t line up right and I made sure everything was assembled correctly up to that point, I just tripled check and everything is put up right. Matches everything in the video and the manual. Don’t understand what could be wrong.
Is your shelf at an angle or is it not lining up with the holes? If it's at an angle, you may need to adjust your brackets. If it's not lining up with the holes you don't need to align it directly to the holes, just close enough to keep it balance. If you have additional questions you can always reach out to our customer service experts. They can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at customercare@lifetime.com. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).
For step 5.3 there is supposed to be pre cut holes in the metal rods but there is nothing there
Love to take a better look at this. Can you send pictures to our email? Please send them to email at customercare@lifetime.com. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).
Watching this video before assembly, I had a question - there's hardly any space for me to assemble the back gable as the shed will be on a concrete pad at the rear corner of the back yard. Does the front gable need to be done first or can we start at the back and then work our way to the front gable where the doors are?
If you have no other option, you can start from the back. It will not effect the assembly of the shed.
Buying this tomorrow….cant wait to complete this in less than an hour like this amazing person!! 😂😂
i'm absolutely confused on why the trusses are assembled first in the instructions
I’m having trouble lining up the last roof panel so I can screw it on. Any recommendations?
Try out this video: th-cam.com/video/iQYsra3ehts/w-d-xo.html
Me too. I used ratcheting straps across the top. One side lined up so I screwed that in, then threw the strap over the the other side and ratcheted them into place
I have a leftover black plastic piece approximately 12”x5” (rough guess) it’s definately not the long shelf for the back wall. Does anyone know what it is? Kind of looks like a small step maybe.
We also had the leftover piece. Would love to know what it’s for?
This is just to help align things together if needed and for when you use the mallet on the shed. It's supposed to be used as a tool!
What are the weight and dimensions of the 2 boxes when you pick it up at the store for an 8x7.5 shed? I want to get one at Sam's but I only have a car with the rear seats go down.
For this particular shed, the box dimensions are 95.31" x 32" x 10.75"; 147.5 lbs and 95.31" x 32" x 9.63"; 218 lbs.
I was able to get it home in a mini van with the front seats all the way forward and the back seats just folded not removed. I was originally going to put it on top of the van. Hahaha I thought twice and just had a super uncomfortable ride home. Thank God only a 10mi. drive lol.
I rented a truck.
Is it good to change some of the FLU screws mine don’t attach well to the wall causing it to fall any advice ,
We don't recommend using any other hardware other than our own. Our hardware is specifically designed for our products.

Box says: Foundation not included. What does that mean exactly? Will it still have the bottom part you put in this video?
The foundation is the cement or wooden platform that needs to go under the shed. The flooring is included but not the foundation. Since video is about the assembly of the actual shed it self, we do not go over the preparation for the foundation.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly I appreciate the quick response.
Que precio tiene?
I brought one a few months back. Next week I’ll build it. Hopefully it goes as smooth as this video.
Let us know if you need any help and how the overall assembly goes!
How much do the boxes weigh?
Excellent Video
The skylights do not fit! Any suggestions?
Realistically how long does this take to put together straight out of the box? Do you need a second person to assemble? Does it have to be attached to a foundation or can it sit in the grass and be fine? The place I live has a cement slab but it is holding an old rusted shed I don't want to pay to remove their waste so I am wondering if it will work well and stay in place without attaching it to a foundation, thank you. Nice video, had me thinking I can do this solo but let's get real, so I know what I need to do before I order this since the store says it doesn't deliver, thank you.
The amount of time it takes to build is based on you and your helper. It can take several hours or a couple of days. A second person is essential in some or all steps. Having a helper will ensure that thing align properly and it helps things stay in place. Foundation is required for all our sheds. A foundation will make things all stay in place and help with the longevity of the product.
What’s the email address to get help? The last panel is now lining up with he truss and gable and my shed is bowed?
We're sorry you are having a hard time reaching out to us. Our Customer Service Team can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at customercare@lifetime.com. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).
How do you secure the floor to the base? Does it need to be screwed to the foundation?
This is with the anchoring process. You can find this at the end of the instruction manual.
Thank you for this amazing video and great instruction !!!!
What is the purpose of the Window latches? I this to allow raising the window?
There is no "alignment notch" on the roof panels. Had a hell of a time trying to get those panels lined up.
We're sorry to hear that you had a hard time with this assembly! The roof panels have an alignment nub that fits into the notch on the truss.
Same problem! How did you get it figured out?
Step 4.1 from the instruction manual and video seem to be different.
This video is meant to be used as a companion to the assembly manual and not a direct replacement. In step 4.1 the long tube can be inserted into the door while facing upward or laying down on the ground, the process should still be the same. We do have several assembly help options available if you run into more questions, including; this video tutorial, our new BILT app, and our customer service department is always a great resource.

I'm thinking about buying a couple of Lifetime sheds - probably the 8'x5' ones.
Anyone here had their's for a few years now?
How well has it held up - especially the doors?
Any bowing/cracking of the plastics happening?
I've read other reviews saying you can't really rely on the warranty. Ideally I want this thing to last me like 20 years or more. Are my expectations realistic?
No…
Come 11:48 put the tube in my door because I dought you can do it that easy with mine
Sometimes these square tubes can be tricky. Our first tip is inserting the square tube starting at the other end.
If that doesn't work you can use a rubber mallet on the end of the tube. If that still doesn't work we recommend slightly enlarging the hole that the tube slides into. The final tip is turning the door right side up and hitting the tube on some concert to help it slide into the the opening on the door.
Hello how can I get a replacement pack of all the screws and bolts needed to build this? Thank you

How much is the cost and where can i buy it
This shed is available at Sam's Club! Here's the link: www.samsclub.com/p/lifetime-8x7-5-feet-outdoor-storage-shed/prod25390625?xid=plp_product_1
Can the side window be on the opposite wall?
Yes, you can put the window wall panel on the side wall or on the back wall.
Um what if the holes don’t line up during step 7.1
thanks for this makes it look easier to understand. how long will this take someone that's diy hands on inclined?
It really just depends on the person. It could take hours or days. It's different for each customer.
I did it. All by myself.
Assembled ours yesterday. Watching the video first put wonderful perspective to the written instructions and helped it happen with confidence. It took 2 of us 5 hours to install our shed. We used a paver base that was mostly even and didn't have any issues. Wonderful product and company!
Would you be able to provide the exact dimensions (in inches) for the top of the wooden foundation platform in order to have it fit flush with the sides of this shed?
Is the flooring included with the purchase of the shed?
The flooring of the shed is included. The foundation is not.
How long does this take to assemble for a professional carpenter?
Timing of it all is tricky to say since it depends all on you and who you have to help you. It can take a couple of hours or it can take a couple of days.
