Keter Manor Outdoor Apex Double Door Garden Storage Shed 6 x 5ft Beige Brown Wood effect | Fade Free | All Weather Resistant | Safe and Secure | Zero Maintenance | 15 year Warranty

Our old wooden shed had long since seen its best days so we spent sometime emptying it, moving the contents to our garage and dismantling it for the tip. We then settled on this new Keter shed (6x8) as it was the same size as our old one and had decent reviews too. We read the reviews and watched some YT videos before starting. Firstly, I would say assemble it on a dry day and not too windy. Despite checking the weather beforehand we were hit with some strong winds and downpours throughout the afternoon which delayed us a little. It certainly takes 2 people to build, even if the only thing the other person does is to support the panels during assembly. My wife and I, both in our 60s, took from 10am to 6pm to fully build this - but as I said we were hampered a little by the weather. OK onto the build itself. Its quite straightforward to erect, but these are some of my tips that may help others: 1. There are a lot of screws, and I mean a lot - different shapes and uses. So make sure your drill batteries are fully charged before commencing. I got through 2 full batteries throughout the day. 2. The instructions are constantly reminding you to make sure the panels are fully in the grooves when building. So I used a nylon hammer to tap the edges to ensure everything was completely together before screwing parts together, even after each screw, just making sure everything stayed together. Tap tap tap constantly. 3. Some of the screws were self-drilling for connecting the metal parts. When there was a guide hole this was straightforward but some were difficult to get to bite. So I a few times I had to drill a small pilot hole to get the screw in. 4. The dreaded roof. Getting the roof on is the most difficult part, but as long as all panel connections are snug as previously mentioned it shouldn't be too hard. When connecting the trims to the roof I had to make sure the 4 smaller pieces were tapped down as far as possible to the edge. If they are too central they will catch on the cross member of the roof and it won't fit. After I did this the roof went on quite easily - oh and the puck was really useful for this bit and the only time I really used it. All in all it's a great shed and fits perfectly where our old shed used to be (6x8). We just have to put all our stuff back in now.

Super produit. Simple à monter à condition d'avoir bien préparé le sol. On a pris 7 heures pour monter la cabane à 2.

Belle matière pour cette abri, mais montage compliqué à réaliser

I’m really pleased with this shed, especially at the price of £460 that I paid for it (it was nearly £1200 when I looked before posting this review, so watch the price if you’re thinking lf buying it). It takes a long time to put together and is definitely fiddly at points. You cannot do this on your own - for a while there were 3 of us working on this, although the roof was done with 2 the next day. There are an awful lot of screws to put in and quite often the drill wouldn’t do it so a hand screwdriver needed to be used, at least to start them off or tighten them at the end. The screws that have to go through metal are particularly tricky. My main tip for anyone would be when you think a piece is pushed in all the way, use a block of scrap wood and firmly knock it with a hammer/mallet - I found out the hard way that pieces weren’t flush even when you thought they were without doing this! However all the pieces are clearly labelled so it’s easy to be sure you’re working with the right part and fixings at any time, including labels which show way up pieces should be. The size is good so it’s really useful for storing lots in an organised way, I’ve been able to put up 2 large shelving units inside and still have lots of floor space for other things. If you’re careful everything fits together well. The tolerances are very small so you do need to be precise and careful with the pieces. Considering how light and even flimsy the plastic pieces feel when you take them out of the box, when it’s all together it feels very sturdy and the plastic material feels durable, including the roof. I can’t comment on waterproofing yet as it rained while putting it together but not since the roof went on (typical) but there’s nothing that makes me think there will be an issue.

Rapport qualité prix très bon. Si le matériel au montage paraît un peu léger et pas très costaud, la structure assemblée à la fin du montage est solide et bien stable au sol ( préparer un support plat avec des dalles de préférence), avec un résultat au final très satisfaisant ( voir les photos). L’explicatif de montage de bonne qualité guide très bien pour une réalisation en une dizaine d’heures seul, avec une aide d’une deuxième personne pour certaines opérations. Très content de cette acquisition, belle esthétique avec une bonne surface intérieure. Je la recommande sans problème, en espérant qu’avec le temps, mon avis restera le même.
