Aoxun Storage Shed 6x4 FT Metal Shed Galvanised Steel Garden Shed with Lockable Doors Outdoor Waterproof Shed for Bike Storage, Tool Storage, Temporary Storage (Brown)

This is a handy storage shed. It took a few hours to assemble and is definitely a two-man job. It feels flimsy at first, but once it's all put together is actually fairly sturdy. So far it has withstood a midwest winter. I don't have it attached to the ground at all, just sitting on top of some paving stones.

I ordered this shed because I was moving and I needed a coop for my chickens that would go up fast, be inexpensive and durable enough to protect them from predators until I can build something permanent.The shed arrived in a couple of days, it comes flat-packed in a single box and it’s pretty heavy so you’re going to need a dolly or a friend to help you move the box around.Assembly is pretty easy, the directions are pretty detailed once you figure out the language, they’re written in English but probably by an engineer, the pieces are labeled in some kind of manufacturing code, not a simple A, B, 1, 2, 3. But trust the directions and follow them in order, even once you see where it’s going and you think you can cut corners… don’t. Just follow the directions.Keep the price in mind as you assemble, the pieces are flimsy and lightweight and you will wonder how they’re ever going to stand up. I built mine on top of a plywood sled so I can pull it into different spots out in the field, and this actually helped a lot with the strength of the shed! It does sturdy-up pretty fast as soon as you get some structure assembled, but attaching it to a solid floor really helps! For my particular use I cut some holes in the tin for the door and window, but this didn’t hurt the integrity of the structure after framing them up.All of the metal comes with a plastic coating, like you would peel off a new device or screen. You don’t NEED to remove it, but I would recommend taking the time to peel it all off. I did not remove it and every place where the film is scratched is starting to feather out and look messy, the metal is plenty strong, you don’t need the film to protect it.The roof is the most difficult part to put together… it’s hard to reach and the plastic trim pieces are a real pain. Once it’s together it looks ok but be prepared to struggle.I had problems with leaking the first time it rained. I tracked the issue and it was the place where two metal sheets came together… they do overlap and bolt together, but the rain was angled to where it was blowing right in. A few beads of silicone (not included) along the seams and problem solved.I like that the door knob locks with a key (and they give you two of them) but it’s not very sturdy… it will keep kids out but a thief will rip it open with a few good pulls. The “thieves” I have to worry about are raccoons and coyotes, so I added latches to the top and bottom of the door and that made it lock up really solid.All considered, this is a good shed for the price. Building this same thing out of plywood would easily cost twice as much or more and I had this completely assembled in a couple hours.My brother just bought a house with no garage and I recommended the large version of this exact shed for his lawnmower and stuff. It’s worth it.

I bought this shed (6'x4') on a whim, from a targeted ad. I was in need of some extra storage, so I figured why not. This was $150 shipped, after a $20 instant coupon, so I honestly kept my expectations low. To my surprise, this is a very well machined product. I expected to have to drill a few holes due to misalignment or precision errors, but every single fastener lined up perfectly. The instructions are clear and there's a QR code for a video build if you ever get lost or confused. Pay attention to how the instructions display panel overlaps.Plenty of extra fasteners were provided.The metal is not the thickest and the pieces on their own felt flimsy at times, but once things started coming together, it really started becoming a sturdy shed.The most annoying part was peeling the plastic wrap from the aluminum pieces, but really... whatever.I would likely not trust this in a large snowfall or heavy wind area. The built product is not flimsy, but the metal would probably give under the weight of heavy snow, after some years. If I lived in a high wind area, I would anchor this to the ground.There is a 1/2" interior lip for plywood flooring, which is what I did. If your plywood flooring will be contacting the ground, it wouldn't hurt to paint it with some water seal, otherwise put some gravel down as a base.I imagine I'll have to address any potential leaks with some silicone, but that's not a concern.The lock is pretty useless, truth be told. I'll likely never lock it.All-in-all, if you're looking for an affordable and sturdy place to store some garden supplies, with an attractive design, you really can't beat this.

Update#3– the picture says it all. Since my last update the shed is literally popping pieces off overnight. Previously the seller wouldn’t make good on their offer of a full refund, but thought it satisfactory to offer $20 instead just makes this worse. Just don’t do it. Don’t buy this product or buy from this seller.For what it is, it’s fine. It doesn’t look cheesy or excessively cheap. It’s thin and not super sturdy. However, I’m currently in a rental and just needed something to make do. You will cut yourself if you’re not careful. Use the gloves included. The door flies open in the wind so I would recommend adding a latch from your local hardware store. It’s super easy to move around though. I’m not a large woman and was able to do everything myself. I also replaced the shorter screws on the corners with longer ones. The ones provided didn’t exactly tighten…there is not one panel & some framing pieces that don’t have a screw so loose I cannot unscrew it by hand.Also, because there are so many tiny screws, my fingertips were sore by the time I was done.Seller contacted me and offered new parts but I would have literally been sent a whole new shed because there isn’t one panel that doesn’t have at least one or two screws that weren’t completely able to be tightened. Offer of refund was made but seller recanted.Fine for now, but wouldn’t buy again or recommend this seller after the experience received.
