10+ Years - Pacific Coastal Weather - Still looks GREAT! (Tips and Pics) I rarely give reviews, but this Lifetime shed met and exceeded my expectation. I purchased the 10x8 ft shed over 10 years ago. Moving it between locations we've disassembled and reassembled it 3 times (marked the pieces). Of course the assembly took 1-1/2 hours, about 1/3rd the time as the first time...which took about 5 hours. Also called Lifetime and ordered an additional 2.5' (30") section (with windows) making it 12-1/2 ft. (see pictures). Foundation: The first time it was placed on a bed of gravel (gophers and mice would go under the plastic floor), 2nd time 1ft square patio blocks, then the last time I poured a rough concrete slab (recommended) using 2x4s and pre-mixed sacked concrete. Make it 1 or 2 inches bigger than the dimensions of the plastic floor. (Note: The plastic floor is not exactly the same dimension as the "shed size". So get your shed on-site, measure the plastic floor, before building the foundation. Tips: As with building ANY structure, make sure the foundation is perfectly level. If not, then the roof and the doors do not line-up as expected. Still, you can shim-up the corner to align these. Also, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the screw fasteners when assembling. Don't think tighter is better...you will strip out the plastic material and the screws may eventually fall out. That said, screws snug-tight, after multiple assemblies, has held perfectly for over 10 years. Weather: I wanted a "maintenance free" shed. This shed is on our ranch property near the Pacific Coast where we get high winds, salt air, and scorching sun. ANYTHING steel, unless galvanized, will rust away in just a few years. When I put on the 30" extension I was concerned that the plastic walls and roof would be faded and wouldn't match the new section. It matched perfectly! I made sure that it is partially protected from the prevailing winds off the ocean. Pacific storms can deliver 85+ miles-per-hour gusts. No problems. Also the metal parts are protected inside so is virtually no rust from the salt air! It has been maintenance free, as expected. I have been so impressed with this shed that I purchased Lifetime Storage Deck Boxes 3 years ago for the patio furniture cushions. They are the exact same color and durable like the shed. I'm very happy. My wife now wants to purchase another Lifetime shed, with a side-entrance, to put along-side her raised garden beds. (on order)
