Very nice - But you need to know a few things

K.R. · 16 May 2025

Instructions can use some improvements and are somewhat confusing at times. Instructions say to not construct on a windy day. But a very light breeze can also be a problem. The building is very unstable at first because you have to do all the corners and they are standing with very little support. A light breeze of any kind can blow it over. Be sure to plan on finishing all sides if you don't have the time to also do the roof that day (It takes longer to construct than what it says for sure). That can be a stopping point if no wind is expected. Instructions say that you need 3-4 ppl to construct. However, my husband and I did it with just the two of us. Some parts were tricky, but it can be done. The pieces come with a thin film on them. We did not notice it at first. This has to be removed, and it takes a LOT of time to do so. The windows can be placed on any side which is nice. Once the roof is on and everything is secured together it is actually nice and sturdy. We built ours on timbers, so we can secure it to something. Don't want it to blow away. Overall, this is a really nice building for the money. The savings comes from putting it together yourself, which is not the simplest task. The look of the building is very nice. We will be adding some additional framing on the inside, because it's not very strong to be leaning anything against the inside walls. We would definitely buy this again and may actually do so for another area. You can't beat the price, and it looks good!

Give yourself 8-10 hours to assemble.

Nothing and I mean nothing lined up for assembly. Possibly because every panel I received needed 15-20 minutes of body work to get the kinks out. Instructions are horrible. It says in the Bolo description that it comes with a floor. It does not. Frame work only. I was short 10-15 screws. Sitting on lazer leveled ground and started with a perfectly square base and the door only comes close to closing. All in all I’m very disappointed but I completed it so I’m stuck with it. Save your time and money…this is junk.

Great looking shed, seems sturdy once assembled

I purchased the 10 x 12' shed March 2025 and really like it. It was very time consuming to put together but all the pre-drilled holes lined up perfectly. The entire building is sturdy once assembled and it has already withstood a heavy wind storm. The pros: (1) overall design with woodgrain panels and charcoal black trim, (2) size of door opening and height of building with its moderately pitched roof, (3) precision of pre-dilled holes. Cons: (1) peeling the plastic wrap from all the panels and trim pieces, (2) lack of written assembly instructions. My overall opinion is that the building may seem flimsy until it is fully assembled but once assembled it should last many years. I had 3 friends help and it did take about 3 afternoons to complete due to the lack of written instructions and vague diagrams. If you take your time, have a couple of extra hands to help and make sure the base frame is level before continuing the assembly, you should have no trouble. And, do not attempt to assemble it if there is the slightest amount of wind. The panels are flimsy until all the screws are fastened to the frame.

4.5 out of 5 stars

The build quality is pretty good. It took me about 8- 8-10 hours with only one person to put this together. The longest part was the first couple steps because you really need two people for the first couple of steps.It looks great! It is not 97 pounds. I can actually lift the thing by myself. It also gives you stakes that you can attach to the bottom frame to nail into the grass if need be. I am on a concrete patio so I don’t need it.Big PositiveAll of the holes were cut exactly down the measurement within millimeters. I was very surprised by how well geometrically everything fit together.With that said the last step by putting on the doors were a bit crooked, but I was easily able to manipulate it to make it work.It looks very waterproof, but I am on a covered patio so I don’t need that for the future.There is a clear film over the entire surfaces of each piece. I imagine the heat shrinked for the case of shipping, however, it’s nearly impossible to remove without a lot of frustration. I just left it on there because it provides more waterproofing so to speak. But after a while, it will peel kind of like after a really bad sunburn.All and off a very good shed just took a while to set up and I would definitely say you need two people to start off. Directions could’ve been a bit clearer and step 12-17 when beginning to put on the roof. Especially for peace, L, M1, M2, M3, M4 pieces Q1 as you have to go through multiple pieces of sheet metal with one screw. In the case of going through multiple pieces of sheet metal it would’ve been nice to have a longer or different type of screw. Either way it’s all together and I do like the screw caps as well to prevent rusting as well as protecting your hands from getting scratched.I got Bolo basic shelves to put inside and I also got a piece of 1 inch plywood to put on the bottom to make a flat surface. Just go to Lowe’s to get a piece of plywood.All and all good purchase for roughly about $150. I would just include a floor next time.

Good value but directions aren't very clear.

After researching multiple sheds, I decide on this one for the amount of storage space it offered. It arrived a week earlier than expected which was great. Due to the weather, we had to wait 2 weeks to assemble. My son assisted me in assemblyWe both have a good deal of experience in bulding things. So we thought this will be easy 5 hours tops. But it took us about 8 hours due to the poor directions. It took a good hour to unbox and sort the parts. It goes together fairly easy with a few hiccups. First the directions0 need to be made clearer in a few parts. Especially when assembling the roof peaks. The diagrams are not very clear as to the order on parts f5,f6, s6. Due to this we had to take a couple of things apart and reassemble. Once assembled we measured it and it is not 10'×12' as advertised. It is closer to 9' 4" x11' 5". It is sturdy once assembled. While assembling, I was questioning whether it would be sturdy. Overall I think it is a good buy, but needs some improvement on the directions. I'm marking it a 3 due to not being true to size and directions.
