Keter Oakland 7.5 x 11 Outdoor Large Duotech Storage Shed

Comment

Houzz beat the competition on price for this shed by a couple of hundred bucks. So, props there. The shed itself is both better and worse than you might expect. The individual components are well made, and individually light enough for anyone to move around; the instructions are lengthy but very clear and easy to follow; the fit and finish are--if not ideal--at least above reproach. However the resulting structure feels pretty flimsy: give the long wall a thump and the whole thing ripples. There are metal beams on the doors to reinforce them, but a strong kick would probably get you in any door and a bat-swing would blow a window straight out of the wall. The structure is quite water-tight, but there are myriad passageways for bugs to enter. Theres a nice, well-interlocked floor--but the individual panels arent very strong and even with a plywood underlayer theres a lot of flex. All in all Im pretty content with this purchase: it will suit my needs, and the price was adequate for the amount of effort it saved me. Those looking for a sturdier build quality or more design flexibility would be well-served to just buy lumber at a depot store and build something from scratch.
