Palram SkyLight Plastic Shed, 6ft x 8ft Dark Brown

Shed arrived very quickly in a relatively small but heavy box. This is a well designed shed system - instructions are good but take care to follow them to the letter - this is not one of those projects that you can embark upon without having the instructions to hand. The materials and fixings were very good. As other reviewers have noted, the shed elements seem very flimsy as you are putting it together - but the shed eventually firms up. My tips are that this is definitely a 2-person job i.e. have someone at hand to help hold things in place etc. and I wouldn't attempt this in windy weather. In terms of time give yourself 6 hours. Once we finished I had a very smart looking shed sat there that will never need any maintenance - perfect.

Installed on my own without problem, except when there was a slight wind. Instructions were straight-forward. The only downside was that some of the aluminium bars were slighly damaged. As I did not want the hassle of having to contact the supplier and getting them replaced, thereby delaying putting this up, I simply straightened the bent bars effectively enough so that the panels could be slid through.Once erected, what initially appeared to be a flimsy shed, turned out to be nicely stable. There were quite strong winds a few days ago, and the shed has held up without problem.Overall a good buy.

I put this shed up mostly by myself, but you will need help putting up the side panels. Once they're on, its not too bad, you may have trouble on your own if you're quite short though. It takes a while to put up, best part of a day, but this is normal.Overall, parts were of good quality and lined up well, the build process was logical and straight forward. Each item isn't so heavy so generally its easy going work. I think these polycarbonate panels are much easier to work with than metal panels, and theres a much lower chance of being injured by sharp edges.I think its a nice looking shed and it does what it was intended to do. The price is good too, they could charge more for it.

Absolutely rubbish as far as I am concerned ,paper thin panels and all you need is a screw driver to open shed as the screws on the hinges are on the out side total waste of money.

This shed took myself and my husband 7 and half hours to erect. Pre drilled holes were not in the right place so my husband had to redrill and when we attempted to put the roof panels on we had to undo the structure to get them in as they were very tight fitting. The shed does not come with anchor points so we have had to weight it down until our separately ordered anchor points arrive. The shed does look smart now it's finally up.

Firstly I did not buy this shed from Amazon, but from another supplier about 18 months ago.The shed was provided flat packed with good instructions and all elements were intact and in good condition. The instructions say that two people are needed to build the shed and I can confirm that this is the case, especially when threading the roof panels into the apex preformed aluminium strip. I would also suggest that a still day be chosen for the construction as wind will take hold of the light weight sheeting and create difficulties.Once constucted the shed needs to be bolted down, which I did to the concrete base previously laid.At this stage I had a shed that looked as though it would last for years in the hostile Lake District weather - heavy rain, some snow and the odd gust of wind.It was not long before wind buffeted the shed, deforming the structure to a small extend and blowing the doors open. I added additional catches at the top and bottom and placed a bracing piece of wood against the door. This solved the problem and my tools stayed dry and well stored.That is until November 2016 when rain and winds came down the valley, and flattened the shed, bending the preformed metal strips in places and removing the sheeting. My neighbour kindly rescued the vulnerable tools for me. The shed ended up in a flattened heap which we secured with heavy stones. Over Christmas I have dismantled the shed removing the screws and floor bolts and taken it to the tip. Most of the panels were intact although some had ripped in small places. Most of the metal work was still ok. In principle it may have been possible to rebuild the shed but I would not recommend that as a way forward.In conclusion. This shed is built from very durable materials but the structural integrity does not stand up to heavy winds - at last not in the Lake District.

Purchased this shed late last week and was delivered yesterday, took around five days to come including the weekend so pleased with the delivery time.As the weather is good currently (August 2016) I decided to put the shed together myself without any help. It was packed very well and had a very comprehensive guide. I would advise that before attempting to construct that you should read this carefully first and familiarise yourself with the various components. Putting this together on my own I decided that I might need some things for supporting the sides so a pair of steps and a couple of saw horses were put to good use. The main roof strut required me to build an A frame to support it, ideally you should really get assistance with this bit. The eave struts were a little fiddly and required a little force but overall it was fairly easy to do and took just over four hours from start to finish. I'm in my 50's but quite fit and strong so none of it proved to difficult.You will need a battery operated drill, a screw drive, a 4mm drill,bit and some silicone. Fortunately I had all these already so didn't have to stop to get supplies. Last job to do is anchor it to the concrete base and the fixing points look as equally sturdy as the shed. Overall it is a very good buy and I would highly recommned.

It's ok but it's leaking in the front right corner is always wet, I think it's rain coming in through the vent above the door, needs to have a mesh behind it but none was supplied!.
