I built a platform for it out of pressure treated lumber and exterior plywood, leveled this platform, and built the shed on top of it. This assured me of a level, sturdy surface .The crucial part of construction of this little shed is the floor build. Every piece is marked, either with a sticker or an etched in number/ letter the floor piece is just a plastic corrugated panel, like the rest of the shed. If you try and lay it on the dirt or gravel, your shed will twist and never be sturdy. In addition, its easiest to assemble the floor upside down, and this is the part you MUST HAVE two people. If the floor channels, which also hold the walls are not square and equal, the problems will just multiply as you build.Have your helper hold one floor bracket while you push the other bracket in, as far as possible. Then seccure on what will be the bottom of the floor with one screw. Do this on all four corners. Stop here, and use a tape measure to measure corner to corner. If the diagonal measurements are the same,the the shed floor is square and true and the rest of it will go up easy. If they are not the same, wiggle things, take out a scew, do what you have to to make them the same. 15 min of dorking around here means that your shed will be sturdy and your door will swing well.The rest of it goes so much easier with a helper, who can even be a sturdy kid who just holds the lightweight panels while you screw things in place. But, you can do it alone.I wish i had thought to spray paint the white trim a different color, to match the house before i assembled it, but, live and learn. I guess I'll tape everything off or learn to ignore it. Likewise after tryingbto drag the whole box, i had a duh moment and opened the box in the driveway, and easily carried it to the back lightweight piece by piece.The shed was stamped "made in Israel" and the careful lables made me image this being assembled on a kibbutz somewhere in an efficient manner, lol. Everything is labled- every part, every bag of screws, everything. The directions are multi lingual. I went ahead and highlighted my language in yellow so i didnt accidently skip a step. They also provide what they call a spatula, but is a little plastic tool that helps slide the panels into the snug chanels.Overall, an entertaining way to spend the afternoon. As far as sturdiness, i think it will do. If a team of rugby players crashed into it, it would take some damage. But, it is seccured down, i plan on putting a lean to green house next to it,and i also plan to build 2x4 and plywood shelves to exactly fit the inside. I will secure the shed to these shelves, as well. I think that it is as sturdy as a plastic shed can be, and have higher hopes than the rubbermaid shed that spontaneously lost its shape and was a nightmare to get rid of.
