ARROW STORAGE PRODUCTS 8' x 6' Hamlet Storage Shed, Yard and Outdoor Storage for Tools, Lawn Equipment, Pool Toys Eggshell and Green

My husband and I put this thing together in about 8 hours (we have two small kids, so we weren't able to work on it constantly). It was quite tedious work, but not hard. The ceiling height is low, so you have to be careful when you're inside it. It easily fits our riding lawn mower, push mower, seed spreader, and two wire shelves, plus room to spare. If you can follow directions, you can build this!3/26/2015 UPDATE: we did not anchor the building, and about three days ago, it blew across the yard. IT SURVIVED. It's a little banged up, and the doors are gone, but by golly, we were able to put it back up. Changed to stars!UPDATE 5/30/15: We had another bad storm on Memorial Day. This time, we had the building anchored down, but somehow, the wind broke the anchoring system and blew the building away again. Once again, this little building surprised the heck out of us by surviving again! This time, the storm ripped the front completely off, and part of the inner wall supports, so we had to be creative in putting it back up. This thing is really something else. I would love to attach pictures, but the mobile site doesn't allow for this yet. I will post as soon as I can get to my computer.

Reading through reviews many people seemed to comment on the difficulty and/or flimsiness of this product. While yes, the parts are flimsy coming out of the package, when assembled correctly, its quite sturdy. And as for the difficulty, I basically did it myself with a cheap power drill, all with a tiny help holding up pieces from my 8 month pregnant wife. People said the holes for parts didnt line up...and I'm here to tell you, WRONG. All holes lined up perfectly, and if they didnt, it's because the builder has the part for the OTHER side of the shed.... The instructions were quite vague at times, but with the diagrams and common sense, not hard to navigate. Came with plenty and more than needed hardware, in case you lose some. I've let it rain a few times before writing this review, and while it does come with weather tape, I added some great stuff Foam to the cracks and ceiling, and it is bone dry even in a decent rain. All in all, great shed for the money and are a tiny bit handy, but like I said, i'm no carpenter, and I built this in 7 hours including separately purchased floor plans and quite a few breaks.

Great shed and a great price. Takes time to put it up, but it is worth it in the end. My parents had a Arrow shed for 40 years, and this one looks to be made the same way. I look forward to years of solid service from the shed. I bought some extra screws and we used some as the screws it came with are small and a few of the joints needed longer ones. That said, it went together without much issue, just take your time and do the work. As people said in other reviews match up the joints well and then screw them together.

The shed itself is made of very thin aluminum. Once the base is constructed, the instructions warn that you should complete the shed in one day, as any significant wind could flatten it. I wasn't able to do that, and sure enough, it was flat on the ground the next day. That bent things just enough so that matching panels with predrilled holes was always a challenge. But I got it together and it's still standing. At least it should keep the lawnmower and snowblower dry. But it is SO light that I would get the suggested anchoring kit with it (or get a shed that is inherently heavier).The instructions are much better written than most you see these days...plain English, with good diagrams, but some "big picture" explanation at each stage would help, not just "do this, now do that". Also, as we reached the later steps, it's as if the writer got tired, or assumed (wrongly) that by now you would know what you were doing. The instructions get terse. In my opinion, the instructions should have a youtube.com link showing every step of construction for those of us who don't build sheds every day, or have a knack for misinterpreting ambiguous instructions.Having said all of that, the shed was worth the money. I got the anchor kit afterwards, and I would strongly advise getting it WITH the shed so you can anchor the base first and then build the rest of the shed.

The product is a good product. I've used these sheds, before. But the biggest issue was how it arrived at my steps. The box was beat up and torn. But mostly, the walls on the shed were banged up. I needed to move on this home project, so I pounded things out, but not to perfection. Whoever UPS, or whomever, needs to be more diligent with their contracted shippers. My wife was appalled. I didn't have time to argue with you guys, or the contractor. I, truly, hope that no one else is getting that kind of service. I'd be ashamed to drop a package looking like mine did. And, I drove delivery for over 30 years. I use mine for a pumphouse for my inground pool.

DO NOT try to hide from the big bad wolf in this thing you will be dead meat! This thing has about 1000+ tiny nuts and bolt to put all the pieces together. It took so long the first day that I didn't have any help after that and had to do the rest myself and of course I am not elastigirl so couldnt put most nuts and bolts in, just enough to hold it together. The roof pieces didn't quite line up as with the rest of the pieces so there were holes which would let water in, so I caulked those with silicone. The doors I haven't even put together yet and it's been a month, may never do it. This is the worst purchase ive ever made. It weighs about 100lbs in the box so it definitely needs to be anchored down when put up, I anchored mine to the pallets it is sitting on but I fear hurricane season here in texas, it is likely for the very thin metal to tear right off the screws holding it down.
