My Patiowell 4’x8’ Plastic Shed

My motorcycle fits in just perfectly length wise and I have plenty of height and just enuf room on both sides of my bike, Only thing is my motorcycle wouldn’t fit threw the door so I had to cut some of the front walls down to make the opening wider for me to drive right in and not get snagged on the walls, Then I fabricated a custom door with a handle and a lock system and couldn’t be happier except cost.For the quality of the shed it really should be considerably cheaper.I paid over $700 when you can purchase metal and wooden sheds for under $500 for my size. But it’s too late now since it’s assembled and has a custom door with my bike parked inside.

Loving mine so far!

Loving mine so far! Was a bit of a pain to assemble though!

Protective covering

This thing absolutely does the job for the price point. This is especially ideal if you’re in a temporary situation such as us and only need a storage solution for 1-5 years. This thing just withstood record-breaking snowfall in Alaska and the only signs of wear are on the flashing running along the bottom roof panels (damaged from weight/sliding of snow falling off).
Better value than the over-priced plastic tubs that warp and sag in the heat/sun.
Shipped to my doorstep for far less than alternates in the local market.

Con: like many other reviews, the protective film is a real b!tch to get off, recommend setting them in the sun for an hour first to loosen the bond.

You SHOULD Buy This Shed.

Took me 4 hours alone with a drill and a step ladder (whoever is taking two days to assemble this needs to just hire someone). Sturdier than the reviews give it credit for. Pre-drilled holes lined up fine. Leave the plastic wrapping—too much work to remove. Wear the provided gloves because the sheet metal is sharp. Instructions were exceedingly clear.

10 out of 10.

This shed is underrated and under reviewed. Some ends were slightly bent but easily bent back into place with pliers. Took me a long time about 15 hours split into 2 days to assemble but couldve got some time was spent doing rework because i put some thing on backwards or upside-down. If you have someone to put the screws in the washers and set them up so they dont separate helps a lot. They also give you more than enough screws washers and bolts so if you drop some in the grass and cant dind them dont worry if youll still have enough. Also if you do split it into 2 or more days like myself assemble the doors, front and back gables and vents, and roof beams while you are in for the night. Yes its dents easily but its expected and the dents are easily and effortlessly pushed back into place. If youre looking for a shed this is a good one. I purchased the indoor and outdoor solar lights from amazon. I plan on putting silicon around the base border to waterpoof it. I also plan on adding windows. For the foundation i bought about 40 bags of quikrete gravel and 70 bags of quikrete cement mix and did a drypour (which was easy and hard at the same time. Hard part was moving the bags. Easy part was setting it look on YouTube for more instructions on dry pouring cement). I would definitely recommend just getting a cement truck to come out and pour it while you do the screeding or do a gravel or wood palet foundation to save money unless you have a team to move the cement and gravel bags. But all in all this shed is exactly what i need and for the price i cant believe it.

Great shed

This week I together this steel shed and couldn't be happier with the experience. It was surprisingly easy to build and install, which was a big plus for me. The design is really smart and well thought-out, and the price was quite reasonable too.

It took me about two days to assemble, though I did spend some extra time peeling off the thin plastic sheeting from the metal parts. Wish that was mentioned in the instructions, or even better sold without it. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, so I'm not sure why some reviews say otherwise. Maybe those folks were less experienced, but if you get someone to help, it goes really smoothly.

I used the shed to house my pool pump and filter, and it's been perfect for that purpose. All in all, this shed is a great find—simple to put together, well-designed, and a good deal for the price.

The screws were so easily stripped. Looks good when it's done though.

4x8 shed

Waited a few days, to assemble, raining in the PNW. Some of the B2 walls were not flat, a little warped. I made the mistake of reversing B1 and B5, should go together OK.

Turn out great!

Took me and some help 3 hours to assemble. Got all my garden tools in. Look good.

Just finished putting mine together. I love.

Assembly of the 8x6 plastic shed

What helped me out putting this shed together was the you tube video and the directions that came with it make sure before assembly you put the right screws in each part of the shed I was missing some towards the end. You can put it together by yourself it just takes longer and it helped having a bigger ladder to hold the roof up. Make sure the shed is level or you will have an issue with putting the roof on and having the sides stick to the floor. Also, the screws that go on the side by the doors the metal skinny portion that lines up with the floor come off and don’t stick have to make sure you are level. It’s a great looking shed just wish the screws would stay on by the doors. So far no leaks and is very sturdy.

It's worth it

Get ready for alot of screws and instructions that make no sense

Great shed for a great price

Perfect shed for my needs. Fairly easy to assemble put would be easier with another set of hands. The most important thing is the base, when building these types of sheds. I used plastic pallets and treated plywood for the base. Easy to level and a solid base that will last forever.

BEWARE to remove plastic coating first!!!

While I am very happy with this cute little shed, I wish I had known BEFORE assembling that it is coated in a light film of plastic to help prevent scratching. It is not obvious at all when you see the panels that they are coated in protective plastic. It is a pain to remove this film even before assembling but impossible to completely remove without frayed pieces at the seams after assembling. We discovered the film after having 3/4 of the shed built. We went back to see if we had missed the warning in the instructions, but nope there is nothing there. They should have a big large sticker or something warning you to peel this film off in advance. Plus the plastic gets very scratched which makes me wonder how many people return these for being scratched without realizing it is only the plastic that is scratched! So it does look better now that the film is off but will forever be picking at the seams trying to remove the little frayed pieces!

Storage shed

I'm 71 years old. The instruction says requires 2 people to put together. It took me 3 hours, and 1 clamp, and I put it together in a tight place. Easy to follow instruction.

Easy to assemble

I did it by myself, no one helps me and it took almost 3 hours. Just follow the steps and you got it!
Looks good quality and it’s perfect for small spaces. Love it!

Overall good would not recommend the base

It’s a nice shed and fairly easy to assemble just a lot of screws… I got the base but I should of just made my own would of been better. The base was flimsy and if I could redo I would of just laid concrete and drilled it in with hurricane anchors but it’s big spacious doors open wide can fit everything through the door so far. Package was heavy and 4 parts so if you don’t get a package wait a couple days to see if the other part comes in. Seller was quick to respond and offered solutions if I didn’t get the 1/4 of my package.

For my needs it is perfect

I am a single mom and I am really happy with this shed that I was able to assemble by myself. I will say it goes together easily, but it is not super strong like a wooden or metal shed would be. For my needs it is perfect, but if you are storing highly valuable items or looking for strength against harmful elements you might want to keep that in mind. I am putting it under my carport in the corner for all of my kids outdoor toys etc. I would definitely recommend this if you have similar needs. I bought a metal shed previously and it was a nightmare to assemble and had thousands of tiny screws on assembly alone this shed is a 10 compared to my previous experience.

This shed was just perfect

This shed was just perfect for what it was intended for sturdy and well made took two men to put together but all went well

This shed is a great purchase.

This shed is a great purchase. It took some time to put together but all in all its sturdy and with the heavy rain storm that came in, there was no rain that seeped through.

I would highly recommend it.

The best outdoor storage shed of all times! I would highly recommend it.

The quality is better than expected. I recommend it.

After reading all the comments, I was very worried before installation. Luckily to find an installation video for this exact shed on YouTube, which detailed each part used in every step. With the not-very-clear installation manual, my husband and I managed to assemble the shed in 5 hours. Last week, a hurricane passed through our area, causing massive damage and uprooting many trees. Surprisingly, this shed didn’t leak or have any issues. The quality is better than expected. I recommend it.

The shed was easy to put together.

The shed was easy to put together. I did it alone and it took me a couple of hours. 2 people would have been a little easier. Everything fit fine. When using a drill driver for the screws you have to make sure you don't over tork the screws. Once the screws are in they really are not made to unscrew and put them back in again.

Awesome shed!

I highly recommend Patiowell! The 8 x 6 shed is perfect, the doors seal very well, the walls, floor and roof are very sturdy. The window is a great size and it’s tinted! The integrated lock is such a nice touch. They've thought of everything! I am so thankful that I took a chance with Patiowell and made the right choice! I could have purchased so many other brands, but from the website and how well the information is provided, I decided to make the purchase. Customer service is outstanding! I highly recommend Patiowell and will also spread the word among my neighbors, friends, and family! You will not be disappointed!
