Devoko Outdoor Storage Shed 5 x 3 FT Lockable Metal Garden Shed Steel Anti-Corrosion Storage House with Single Lockable Door for Backyard Outdoor Patio (Brown)

Let's start with the Pros:Price is very reasonable for the product and storage size. Once put together properly, it is fairly sturdy and can withstand rain and sun exposure fairly well. It comes with screws and fairly easy to use instructions. Door is actually surprisingly sturdy.Cons:Aluminum is very thin and screws can easily strip the fastening holes. It is very lightweight so you definitely need to put in a support base, screw it into concrete or ground stakes. The base does have holes for doing this. Myself I built a wooden frame box filled with concrete which provides a nice flooring and keeps the shed in place. Protective film is a PAIN to remove. That was probably the most difficult part of the job.Recommendations:They provide very large screws to attach the door to the shed's frame. Do not use those as they are prone to stripping the thin aluminum. The smaller screws work just fine and hold the door in place without issues.The small screws also do not work well on the roof portion as they are not strong enough to hold it in place in case of strong winds. Instead, I used threaded bolts that fit through the holes and can be tightened really well on each corner and spaced around the middle. These seem to hold the roof much better.

This shed was priced right! I love it. It is steel and very sturdy. This shed gives me protected and lockable storage space for my backyard. Before my shed, I had zero organization and protection of yard items (rakes, shovels, blower, dirtbags, and various garden tools. This shed provides an organized and protected environment for all my outdoor stuff.I have to thank my 2 stepsons for putting this shed together. It was a bit hard to do as there were so many screws and parts. The instructions were not great but they did an outstanding job putting it together. It went much faster using a drill.

the screws could of been a little bit longer. small screws are a little hard for the fingers to work with sometimes.

I did have to change my initial plan once I realized I couldn’t use it for my lawnmower not because it wouldn’t fit but because I just didn’t have room for it with all my other gardening tools. I put this together myself and I’ll admit it was a pain doing it solo. Th directions are simply pictures and can be confusing. I ended up putting the top railing holding the panels in backwards and didn’t realize until I got to the end to put roof together. If I hadn’t done that I would say this would have taken 2-4 hours with one person. I ended up taken closer to six with breaks because of my mistake. I’ll also admit I got frustrated and haven’t put the door together yet but overall it does mostly what I need. I would not recommend for a very windy location as it is rather flimsy overall. I’m not sure how leak proof it is as I have it on my porch under a patio roof so it’s not as exposed as it could be. Mainly using it for gardening tools ,fertilizer soil and mulch storage. As a structure it’s fine to offer a little protection. I would also add that while the picture shows shelving and peg board it does not come with any of that and honestly I’m not sure how you could attach a secure peg board to any of the walls I did order a shelf separately so that I could use the space more effectively and that works. Shovels, rakes etc with a long handle will fit solo but not in a tools rack as the roof is slopped so one side is too low to put tools in the rack. Overall for a simple storage solution on a concrete patio it work just fine. For reference I got the 5x3 option. I can also stand inside to grab stuff without ducking except to go through the door.

I read the reviews about trouble putting together and gave it the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was the people not mechanically up to snuff. I have a ton of experience in both construction and car repair and this thing still frustrated me a few times. Specifically the roof, the screw holes did not line up at all, I ended up drilling new holes in the frame below the roof panels so it could secure down. Something it doesn't tell you in directions, it is easier to screw the top part of the roof down, then go to the back / bottom side of the roof and pull the roof down towards you until you can get some of the prefilled holes to line up.I don't know if I would buy it again, but for the price, I'm not upset I bought it either. It works well enough, just a pain in the butt to put the roof together, assuming your pieces are also shorter than the directions indicate and the prefilled holes don't line up.
