Not quite what I had hoped for!
I guess you get what you pay for. This is never going to be water-tight as sold (which is what most of us want in a shed!). Quite fiddly to erect and takes time. After reading reviews and watching some YouTube clips I built a raised wooden base and used DPM over the lower rails to prevent water getting in at the bottom, then liberal amounts of sealant. The roof leaks like sieve despite the whit washers, so I have felted it and that has worked. More sealant on pretty much every screw and bolt. Hopefully it will now give me years of service, but if I need another shed I’ll go wooden!

Like a Meccano, but with razor sharp edges on some parts.
This is not a job that will take you the best part of a day to build unless you have had experience with similar metal sheds, and have fingers that can deal with tiny nuts/bolts/washers and screws. Like other contributors you can't wear protective gloves and at the same time fiddle with the connectors etc. Rather mean on the supply of screws in pack 2. The drawings are not brilliant, especially when they don't describe front elevation, rear elevation etc. Getting the ridge sheets on can be difficult as I found the tolerances very tight to get the screws to fit in the holes in the roof sheets. Once finished I had to seal a few leaks due the rain being blown through the gaps between the ridge plates and roof sheets. When inside and you see daylight in various parts of the roof then expect some water ingress.

Hell of a Shed!
When I say hell of a shed I don't mean in a good way! It took two men four days to construct and we're not talking DIY enthusiasts.....we are talking about a time served Carpenter and experienced builder....the screws, nuts, bolts and washers are a fiddly nightmare and not of good quality......whilst wearing gloves to prevent your hands getting cut to pieces would be the solution, it would be impossible to pick up the little bits. Would have assisted if the doors were marked left and right hand! Would not recommend this to anyone who doesn't have patience or an armoury of swear words! The order process was easy and delivery brilliant.
