DuraMax Model 00611 4x8 SideMate Vinyl Storage Shed Review

This shed is the only vinyl one that fits my space, however, it needs to be positioned to the right of my house. I assumed that a vinyl modular shed can be assembled with the roof sloping to the right side, and not as pictured.
oh boy - I was wrong. when the shed came, I found out that this is the most over-complicated product I've seen to date. there is absolutely no part symmetry, and each part has to be assembled EXACTLY as directed by the lengthy (30 pages) instruction manual. even parts that could have been symmetric, thus simplifying the installation process and manufacturing costs are not. why do they have to include different parts for front and back roof? they are identical parts with different hole patterns. if you drill one more hole, this part could be assembled both as back support or front, saving me identification of "RS2FC" from "RS2BC", same goes to "RS5C" and "RS6C", that has to be assembled together in a specific direction, or else, one of the roof pins will not be able to fit...
once assembled, I'm happy with the quality and stability of that thing, but such a long time to put it up...
Customer support claimed that the roof cannot be flipped, and their engineering is working on a flipping kit. here's what I did in order to flip the roof, no extra parts or kits needed:
assemble the base as instructed
cut the vinyl coating (and not the metal pole) of "CDRC" at the length of "CCB"
Drill the pins that hold the door's hinges to "CDRC", take the hinges apart, and save them
take the bottom vinyl coating of "CDRC" (the longer part) out of the pole
take the vinyl coating of "CCB" out.
inset the metal pole of "CDRC" into the vinyl extracted from "CCB"
insert the metal pole of "CCB" into the vinyl extracted from "CDRC"
reattach the door hinges to "CCB"
you should get a "CCB" pole similar to "CCC", but with door hinges instead of the dual panel support
invert all wall parts ("CMB" for "CMC", "SP" for "SPC") and continue assembly of the walls
cut one of the flaps of "FCC" to be assembled over the modified "CDRC" (now shorter)
assemble the roof, but invert all front and back parts
enjoy!

The product met expectations and I'm pleased with it.
Packing and delivery was good.
I found that assembly was very straightforward as these shed kits go. Took me about 5 hours total. There were a few points that could have used a bit more clarification in instructions. (e.g. One panel that appeared to be symetric, had asymetric holes. I didn't find this out till after assembly. It would have been nice to have some sort of "this end up" indication in instructions.)
I like the product. Doors are a little fussy to close due to some mechanical interference.
One other note - keep it dry. When rain got on some of the pieces it washed off the part numbers, which made assembly a little more tricky.

Rubbermaid Horizontal Storage Shed Review

Rubbermaid Horizontal Storage Shed

This is the 2nd Rubbermaid large shed I have. I still have the other one, but since I live in Florida and we have hurricanes, I bought this shed to store my generator. These sheds are very easy to assemble if you read the directions and "slide" the floor in, instead of trying to snap the floor into place. It is also most helpful to have another persons available to assist you during assembly. Since I wanted the shed to store a particular item, it would have been helpful to me for the manufactor to list "inside" as well as outside measurments". This particular shed is practical, durable, and with the two front doors and top that opens, is easy accessible.

10x20' Instant Garage / Shelter White Review

10x20' Instant Garage / Shelter White

I bought this to protect my new car. It is fairly simply to assemble. It has a zipable/roll up door. Obviously the provided cover will not last forever, but that is to be expected.
The provided anchor spikes are pretty worthless. You will have to do more to anchor the unit to the ground, especially if you get any wind. The provided frame pieces fit together. They would be much better if they snapped in with the button and hole design. Wind can make the tent move and pull the joints apart.
But i do think that if you are capable of properly anchoring this, it is a good cheap alternative to a full fledged garage.

Lifetime 60005 8-by-10-Foot Outdoor Storage Shed with Windows, Skylights, and Shelving Review

I did alot of research before purchasing this shed on sale at 997! All other reviews have been awesome on other sites... and I can't say how the winter / snow will be since we haven't had to deal with that yet. However, the beams do seem very strong, and there are a bunch of them, so I can't forsee any trouble.
However, there are more then 500 screws that go into this, so it will take 3-4 hours to build, 2 adults. It is easy to build, nice shelveing and slots to hang things, etc. One inner light, 2 vents and a window that does open. All in all a great shed for the money. It really looks nice too, our neighbors have commented on it.
We had no problems with the instructions, and the doors went on easily and aligned perfectly. They open wide, so no need to worry about them reclosing or not enough room. Roomy inside, 8 x 10. Left door has its own lock to keep it shut, and space to lock both doors from outside.
