Suncast 34 Cubic Feet Horizontal Backyard Storage Stow Away Shed, Ivory (4 Pack)

I got this to store my bicycles, which do not fit. But, used it to store other items instead. Easy to assemble. Great little shed. Perfect for my carport.

This shed was just what I needed for some outdoor items that were taking up space in the garage and side yard. I found installation quite simple (I didn't need a second person but I can see why some might - some strength is needed in certain steps). The directions are ok, not great. Some of the illustrations aren't very clear, and the split hinge illustration seemed backwards from the parts I received (which still worked fine - just as if the drawing was mirrored during printing). Somehow I ended up with 7 leftover screws of the 25 that were included. One of the illustrations showed screws in the support bar that were never mentioned in the instructions - only the 6 I put in initially. I also find mixed-language instructions frustrating to follow; it is easy to miss things, but I understand they are saving paper doing so.No issues with the hinges, but the screw on a couple of them was very hard to get in. I had to use the really big screwdriver and it's tricky to work so close to the side panels.I made a base out of pavers for this shed. There's heavy stuff in it and it is in a well-protected location, so I'm not worried about securing it for now. We had our first significant rainfall last night after I put it together and everything inside is dry. I do have to pull the right door toward me about 1/4" to get the latch hasp to engage in the hole. I will probably mount a handle on the outside of the door to make this slightly easier to do - would be nice if there was either a handle or a molded area one could grasp for this purpose.Overall it looks good, works nicely, and arrived undamaged and with all parts. A solid buy and I hope it lasts for a long time.

Our home association only allows three feet past our house for whatever. We wanted a shed whose length would stay within the 3' limit. This just makes it, and it serves the purpose of keeping both our trash and recycle containers safe, snug, and dry.

I love this shed. After a nightmare purchase of a similar sized Keter shed, for more money, in the past, this was a fantastic purchase. I have purchased 3 of the Suncast 50 gallon deck boxes and I was so impressed with the ease of assembly and the quality, I didn't hesitate to buy this for additional outside storage. Beats the pants off of the Keter.This was really easy to put together. I did it by myself, but it would have been nice to have an extra set of hands to help hold some things during assembly. But totally doable alone. You may want a rubber mallet. I got by without it, mainly because I was too lazy to walk to the garage. Instructions were good and easy to follow. I put it together in less than 45 minutes, and I went at a leisurely pace.I've got lawn chairs and other odds and ends in mine. Holds quite a bit. It's really sturdy and has not leaked at all when it rains. It got a trial by snow last night. Dry inside.I'm planning to replace the Keter at some point with one of these. Love it so far. If it wears well over time, I will be over the moon with this purchase.

easy

I bought a Suncast Pro model and loved it…this 2nd purchase was very disappointing. Directions horrible. Quality poor. Price was reduced day after I ordered it $30 and couldn’t get the better price even though it took a week to get. Could not cancel it. Bet it lasts less than a year. Never again Amazon and Suncast

I purchased the BMS2500 through Amazon and the box arrived in good shape one day early so that was a good start. After that, a mixed bag. Most of the bad points have been covered in other reviews (see the 1,2, and 3 reviews) but I will touch on a few of those as they affected me.Firstly, and probably one of the more important points, is about customer service. The unit I received was missing the metal roof hinges. All other parts were there. I called the supplied customer service number 10 times over a 6 day period and received the same message stating "heavy call volume, please try again later", then a disconnect. After that I visited the website only to find out you need to register the product first and that requires first opening an account, then uploading a copy of the receipt. After completing that, I found the site link for replacement parts was to purchase parts, not to report missing parts. Attempts to request missing part support kept redirecting me to the same phone number that seldom gets answered.Update: On the 6th day was able to get through to customer service. The agent was very nice and said that the missing part is no longer needed and the manual is out of date. However she did say they still had the hinges in stock and would send them to me. Delivery time 7-10 days. If you need to call them, I recommend you try early in the morning. My successful call was at 7AM CST.I was able to do the rest of the assembly while waiting for the part. Overall, I have invested around 2+ hours and expect the roof to take another 30-40 minutes. I have been working alone. Two people would help a little but not necessary. All the panels are clearly stamped with identifying names. I strongly recommend you verify all the parts are there before starting assembly.The two rear wall panels and side panels are easy to snap into slots on the floor panel. The directions are good on these parts and only a rubber mallet, a little pressure, and a Phillips screwdriver are required to lock them in place.The two front door panels are another matter. They have a poorly designed hinge solution made worse by unclear directions and very small pictures. Even when properly installed, I doubt they last thru too many open-close cycles. As mentioned in the other reviews, the hinge bolts do not line up well with the bolt holes, and do not actually secure the hinge to the frame (more of a pressure clamp approach). Tip: Screw the bolt thru the hinge BEFORE snapping it into the door frame. That will help with the line-up issue although it is the reverse sequence from the instructions. Regardless, a simple gate or cabinet hinge design would have been so much simpler, and will probably be required eventually. I also added a couple inexpensive door handles for my own convenience.As mentioned, the metal roof hinge system has been replaced with by a plastic system that is not well documented in the instructions. Once you figure it out, it does work. My only comments are that it should be better documented; and given the weight of the roof and overall cost of the product, there should be a better roof support system (maybe a gas/air strut or shock).The two sides and back seem fairly sturdy however I would recommend a couple "mending plates" and corner-brackets just in case. One reviewer has pictures of this approach. The parts are available at HD for a few dollars (use #8 or #10 stainless screws). The padlock bracket supplied with the unit is small and inconvenient. You could buy a hasp latch or barrel bolt with a padlock feature on the doors to avoid using the small supplied bracket. Unfortunately, since the padlock bracket is the only thing holding the roof down (other than weight) you will still need something through the padlock bracket hole (bolt, dowel, zip tie, etc.). I used a small rubber hook (see pictures). A few bricks on the roof probably not a bad idea also. All-in-all a better (simpler ?) roof hold-down system is needed.In summary, the BM2500 will be OK for my purposes (non-windy protected concrete patio). It's the right size and looks good. I was also comfortable making some inexpensive "improvements". For indoor storage use it would be great. Not sure about how sturdy over time. Will see after the first hurricane. I only gave it 3 stars because of the customer service issues and a couple of design flaws. It also seems a little over-priced.
