SuncastModernist Pent Shed 7X7

Fairly easy assembly. My son and I did it in about 2 and a half hours. We took our time with it. Directions are decent. Watching a video on assembly beforehand was helpful. Looks great, and seems pretty sturdy.

Overall, no complaints here.Needed a semi-permanent option for our house since we do not have a garage currently and this fits the bill.All the pieces fit together as they should, extra hardware such as screws and bolts was a huge plus, even though none of them stripped or anything upon installation.This shed can be assembled solo, BUT, the walls should be done with two people, otherwise, a light wind can damage where the walls meet the floor and possibly snap the tongue and groove style bottom. (Not sure if that’s the correct term but you get the point)The box is large but smaller than I though, takes up about the space of a small sedan, but packaged very well.Everything is labeled clearly and the manufacturers website has a great video for assembly. I never opened the instruction booklet and followed the video instead which was so very easy.Installing the roof requires a heavy object or two people, but I took the advice of another review and used a bag of water softener salt to weigh down the edges as I hit the panels into place with a rubber mallet.We had a heavy rain the next day and some water did leak in through the window, but I believe that I need to tighten down the screws more to seal the gasket better.Overall, it looks great, has a large interior, and I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality shed.I was able to get it on deal for about $1100 which was a steal in my opinion.If anything changes through the winter, I will update.

I like it a lot. Nice - simple but classy contemporary color and style. Easy to assemble and durable

(1) I am pushing 70 and I was able to assemble this shed (Suncast BMS7780 7' x 7' Modernist) by myself.(2) It took me a day and a half to assemble it. I live in Georgia and many breaks were required due to the hot days. I would guess that my actual contact time was about 7 or 8 hours. I do not believe those who stated it takes 3 hours to assemble it, even with help. It is not difficult it just takes time to go through all the steps and I am the type that double-checks everything.(3) The "new and improved" plastic wall screws is an improvement on a bad design...it is still a bad design.(4) liquid soap is your friend to help slide the panels (especially the ceiling panels) into place.(5) A mallet is needed and does not dent the plastic with normal force.(6) The instructions make no mention of shipping protective plastic film on the windows. Once the window is installed you can not get it off of the exterior side of the window. I am curious how long it takes to turn yellow or peel away on its own. I guess I will find out : )(7) The metal side wall supports go all the way to the floor. The front and back metal wall supports stop about a foot from the floor. This makes no sense and it would improve stability if they went to the floor as the side supports do. The walls appeared flimsy and I was concerned about wasting my money on this shed. However, after it is finished it is a very sturdy shed.(8) I dreaded installing the roof by myself. However, I got behind the shed and simply slid the panels onto the roof. Then I used liquid soap to lube the notiches and the roof easily slid into place. I used a bag of swimming pool salt on the roof to provide 40 pounds of weight. This bag was moved as needed. This allowed enough weight to install the screws from underneath and found that the screws nicely grabbed the plastic and pulled it to the metal supports. Turns out the roof was an easy install.(9) I also was concerned about shipping. Turns out the shipper transferred to a local shipper and they delivered it to the location in my yard as desired. The box had a minor tear but everything inside was perfect. Shipping was not an issue.I have only had the shed for one day so can not comment on how it lasts or resists weather. However, thus far it is a nice shed, was fairly easy to assemble, directions were good and it was a good purchase.

I needed a flat-pack shed that could be assembled within a carport with a very low entry but high interior ceiling (no way to put a storage pod or container in there). I wanted a shed that, although made of plastic, would fit reasonably well with the California Minimalist architecture of this house. And that was reasonably priced, because I just need some extra storage for my rental unit. Although there were no reviews yet, I took a chance and bought this from Amazon. It arrived on schedule (ok, it was one day later than promised) with a big truck from a freight delivery service that I'd never heard of before. I had to help the driver haul the pallet up the last stretch of the driveway and into the carport, as the box was too much for him to move by himself. When I opened the box, all of the parts were there, along with rather clear instructions. First and foremost, YOU NEED TWO (2) ADULTS to assemble this shed; you will never succeed by yourself. That said, it took two men a half-afternoon and a half-morning to assemble the shed, about 5 hours all together. Not bad! You need the second person to hold up walls, or to push on them from the other side, or hang off of beams to get them to snap into place, and so on. In our case, there was a big snafu when, with the walls already in place (but not the roof), the instructions called for sliding a 6-foot steel girder vertically down into an already standing wall. But the carport roof wasn't high enough to let us do this as the engineers had planned it. So although we are both in our 60s we had to lift up the whole shed, tilt it onto its side, and then have one guy hold it steady from beneath while the other guy finally managed to slide in the girder, which isn't easy to do under normal circumstances (much less these ones). Whew. Probably a warning at the beginning of the instructions would be warranted ("you will need 16 feet of overhead clearance in order to assemble the shed," or something like that). We had to drill a couple of extra holes in the main roof steel crossbeam because the pre-drilled holes didn't quite line up, but all in all (we're talking about hundreds of screws and bolts) things fit together very nicely. The shed has good ventilation, some natural lighting from plexiglass windows, an inch-thick shock-absorbing non-slip plastic floor like those you see on playgrounds around here, sits perfectly upright on the carport's concrete slab, and can be padlocked. There are some small gaps in places where the wall panels meet, but you can gun some silicon into those if you wish. FIVE STARS!
