Lots of room for a tight space.

I started putting this shed together earlier today, 0927119. At first it seemed tricky because of the parts having similar shapes. The trick in making assembly successful and fairly quick with one person is to have both a drill and power screw driver. Drill a pilot hole in the white frames for the floor, walls and roof before putting in the 1" screws. Also make sure you drill on the inner groove of the frame for proper mounting. It took me three tries on one corner to get it right, nothing realizing that I missed the floor completely on one screw and came up through the floor where the point stuck out on the second screw. Third screw I got it right but didn't think about using my drill for a pilot hole from the start, I think I would have had more accomplished if I thought of my working cordless drill for the pilot holes. :)) Hey, learning experience. I will probably do more early next week as long as the weather is good. Some parts I could bring in the house and assemble; which only leaves me the door. Windows and vents will need to be inserted outside since the walls are already in place. Remember that you can put the window panel in any of the four positions. Front left, back left, front right, back right. I used back left being it sits under motion lights plus the sun is bright where I am for that position to give me light inside. This model does not have a skylight. If the description says it does; it's wrong. Will give another update after I work on it more.10/01/19 Update:I got the roof installed today. It was tricky at first because when I would get one or two corners in place, the roof would shift off the other two corners, depending what side I was working with. If one person plans to build this shed; the trick in getting the roof on by yourself is start with either the front or back side first. I started with the front; made sure it was fully down on the shell, then used the included tool to pull the white strips over the gray panel and also wiggled the gray panel; and pushed on the roof to get it to go down easily. Then worked on the right side doing the same method. You can go to the left side if you wish, but make sure you only do two sides first to get the roof lined up. Insert screws as directed to secure the roof in place; then work on the other two sides; saving the opposite corner from your first corner last. In my case I started with the front left corner, then the front right corner, then the back left corner then the back right corner. Your application may be different depending where you put the window panel. I used the back left as the window panel, which made the left side easy, then worked on the right side which was a little tricky being I couldn't reach inside, but mounting the screws while placing the roof on the shell is the best way to do it. This way you can wiggle around what is still free to line everything up. Will give another update after the window and door are installed.08/26/20I have had this shed now for almost one year and it has held up excellent. In fact, during a windstorm, another shed was blown down and leaning on the side of this shed. To my amazement, there was only a slight chip on the side panel, despite the weight of the other shed digging into the wall. No hole was formed which gave me a super relief of not having to try taking it apart for scrap. The only downfall now I found, is that another retailer is selling this same shed for half the price from what the current sellers here are asking for. The sellers here should re-consider their prices for this shed being that one can buy a bigger shed for what they're asking for this one. Highly do recommend this product.
