Lifetime Horizontal Storage Shed (60489)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] purchased to store odds and ends that don't need to be in my main shed. worked out great

I bought this shed to store my bicycles. The assembly video was very helpful. I am pleased with the size and construction of this shed.

Great product, just not happy how bolts were not labeled individually.

It was hard to assemble, but manageable. At the end, one of the lids did not have the pre drilled holes needed.

We have put many sheds together in our past. This one had such terrible assembly instructions! it was really difficult to understand which part needed to go where especially where it needed to be screwed. Will really doubt buying another lifetime storage shed ever.

Just now building it together

I bought for extra outside storage and it is so nice.

A lot of work to put together. Definitely need to watch their video, as assembly instructions were poor in certain areas.

Easy to assemble. Very good product

For the discounted price we picked this up for, it's great. The assembly instructions were easy, though it is not entirely easy to put together. Because it's plastic, not all the panels quite align, bolt holes don't match up. It's just all over the place. But thankfully because it's plastic, you're able to make it work anyway. Definitely a two person job. But I got it done solo and am happy to have it for storing all of our lawn equipment

Great accept the two piece lid leaks

I just assembled this shed. It seems sturdy. A few tips: 1: Don't assemble in the sun. The panels begin to warp. (I'm concerned if this will happen with prolonged exposure after assembly, as I want it to keep critters from making a nest in winter). 2: It says 3 people needed. (Overkill, but 2 would be good). I did it myself. it took me 6 hours. 3: Instructions could be clearer. The "call out" diagrams are not really clear enough to see the details of placement. The video was somewhat helpful but on a phone, it is hard to see detail also. It is worth watching the 20 minute video before you start installation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Manufacturing quality is excellent! Very sturdy and durable. Also, all of the parts (hardware, nuts and bolts) were in the bags, nothing was missing. The fit and finish are high quality with all the holes lining up and went together flawlessly.

Metal pieces that hinges screw into did not line up with the screw indents in the doors. There should be an indent in the floor to mark where floor anchors go so it can be drilled from the inside instead of laying it over as per instructions.

Bought this item about a month ago as we were moving. Put it together this week. The instructions left us very confused. There were a few holes that did not line up properly. Some Of the pictures were not clear enough to indicate the rotation needed. Would recommend that you put each screws in their own bags with the #’s on. We still have a problem lining up the latch. It seems we have to use the rubber mallet each time it is closed in order for the latch to connect. We would recommend a cord attached to pull down the lid when it is in the complete open position.

spent an hour trying to get the base together, two screws to put in the dimples; problem is the dimple does not line up with the underlying tab, so I finally just moved the screw over to hit the tab. Poor quality control! The very last description in the directions is where to put the holes in the base to anchor the base; why would you not put the option at the front of the manual where it is easier drill holes in the slab pieces instead of turning a completed assembly on its back to pick up drilling locations, technical writing at its finest. Illustrations are hard to decipher for placement of parts. If you don't like the constand kneeling and up again then a large table is required the lid assembly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about 1.5 years ago. Be careful as the lid AND doors will warp and not close properly without force. The plastic Door Pin (E00) broke so the left door won’t stay put without the lid shut. Very disappointing and I will be selling this more than likely. ☹️

I have kept this storage shed out in the winter rain and snow, and summer sun, of Corvallis, Oregon for the past year. It has held up perfectly. The shed holds three of my bikes; I could probably fit a fourth in there if I tried really hard. Alongside the bikes, I am also able to keep a bike rack and a few other small items in there. I originally bought this to prevent theft after losing parts off my bike, which had been locked to a bike rack, on multiple occasions. Nobody has ever broken into this shed. If you wanted to, you could bend the plastic open, but I think because would-be thieves cannot see into the shed to spot cameras or motion sensors (as I have installed), they don't try. I haven't cleaned the thing in the year I have owned it, and it still looks fine. I'm sure it would clean up well in its current state. My only complaint is that the hydraulic struts are a bit stiff. I'm sure there is a way to adjust this, but it's not a big enough problem to actually do so.

The hydraulics on the lid tore through the plastic in mild rain.
