Good but not great (2008-03-06)
First off - keep in mind this is a [more or less] tool-less snap together shed. This is NOT a nice sturdy metal shed with a cement foundation. If you are expecting that level of storage shed then don't even both with the Suncast product.
Now the review:
Pros:
1. Pricing
2. Ease of assembly
3. Reputable companies (Sears, Suncast, Lowes, etc)
4. Instructions were easy to follow
5. If you're fairly strong person you can absolutely assemble this alone (I did.)
Cons:
1. Pieces do not fit absolutely 100% tight. These are pre-formed pieces that may be a hair off in places.
2. If you're not a strong person you will not be able to assemble this yourself (2 people.)
I have had experience with Suncast products in the past and have been satisfied. So, I needed a little bit of extra shed space on the side of the house. I looked around and found the Suncast sheds.
So, I went ahead and ordered the GS9000 5x7 shed.
First impression:
The boxes were HUGE. Yes, I said boxes. This comes in 2 large boxes (same size) and require a truck to pick up or for the boxes to be delivered. The boxes weren't not super heavy - just cumbersome in size.
The boxes were clearly marked as to what was in each box so you would know which to open first.
First thing I did was to pull the instructions out and read through them. Then, I sorted out the parts to make sure I had everything.
First thing to install is the floor deck. Now, here is something you will not know until you get home and open the instructions. The floor is a fairly sturdy deck that will be perfect if placed on concrete (porch, etc.) If not, there is an option in the construction to slide 5 2x4's into slots under the flooring. The deck then has holes to screw the deck down to the 2x4's giving the deck extra support. Since I was putting mine in the yard I decided to use pressure treated 2x4's. The difference is noticeable (in the yard) if you're not using the 2x4's. Adding the 2x4's adds about 1 hour to the assembly. The 2x4's have to be cut to a specific length (outlined in the instructions) and then anchored to the ground with 4 12" galvanized nails (all in the instructions.) The extra materials (which you have to buy separately) cost about $10 at the local hardware store. I cut the 2x4's myself but most lumber places will cut it if you request it.
One thing I have read in the reviews is about the roof. Putting the 2 roof pieces together were the hardest thing for me because they are the 2 biggest and heaviest pieces. Once I managed to get the roof put together I was able to lift it up alone and rest it on the walls. Then I went around and slowly snapped everything into place. The roof assembled probably weighs about 50lbs but is easy to balance. The roof part is the place where having a 2nd person would have been the most beneficial.
Overall time to get the shed up was about 2.5 hours. This time included getting the boxes off my truck, unpacked, inventoried and assembled. I did this alone with no help. If you have 2 people it might take 30 minutes off your assembly time. If you skip the reinforcing of the floor deck take another 45 minutes off your time.
My only regret at this point is not getting the 7x7 shed because the 7x5 wasn't as big as I had hoped!
GREAT SHED (2008-02-24)
Shed is fairly easy to put together. The plastic was misshaped a little due to shipping. Over all very pleased with this shed and Amazon's free shipping service.
Would never buy it again (2007-03-13)
The moldings where bad and had to send for missing and bad parts twice. Suncast was quick with replacing parts, but it took over a week each time.
The shed took over 3 weeks to complete.
Save yourself some time and trouble, go with a different company.
