Revolutionary, HDPE, an innovative polyethylene plastic that incorporates strengtheners to fortify the composition against cracking during winter’s freezing conditions with a UV stabilisation to defend against the heat of the suns rays fracturing & bleaching the surface.
Robustly designed to prevent dents appearing, the construction is formed by combining two walls or skins. The inner side comprises an arrangement of resin ridges to provide substantial bracing with the outer skin meanwhile giving the simulation of a wood paneled building embossed with ornate wood-grain details and is crafted by state-of-the-art blow molding procedures.
Each wall panel interlinks with adjoining panels and locks into the floor then abutting underneath the roof structure to eliminate rainwater leaks at the wall-roof connection. High grade steel screws secure the panels to the shed’s steel framework resulting in a sturdy overall construction.
High Density Polyethylene is impermeable to damp, icy conditions, rainfall and the effect of the sun. Unaffected by rot, this imperishable resin eliminates maintenance, it’s not designed for painting nor varnishing. Cleaning merely involves undertaking the odd wash, a pressure blaster makes short work of the job.
The video below shows the smaller 15×8 shed, but shows several of the features of the larger shed.
Looking for an easy slab option? Video below shows how to do a simple slab using a timber frame and bags of concrete. A slab is not required but is a great way to ensure your shed has a flat, stable base.
Some tips: Compress the dry cement before adding water - Wet the soil beforehand and continue to wet the surrounding soil during curing - Dig a small trench around the perimeter if erosion or crumbling of the edge is a concern - Use your surrounding formwork to create a level slab - Wait 1-2 hours after first misting, then apply more water via shower setting every 1-3 hours - Keep applying water for a few days to assist in curing

The shed went up easy. It recommends a concrete slab or a wooden base as a foundation. I had already leveled the ground and added pavers before I opened the box with instructions.
The freight driver delivered the shed and placed it in the driveway. I move each of the four boxes by two wheeled dolly to the backyard. One box came apart while moving through my gate so I just sorted the contents were I was going to assemble it. The rest I placed back on the pallet that it was delivered on and tarped it. It took me 3 days from roughly 10am -3pm to assemble the shed by myself. My wife helped me with the roof ridge (cluster of skylights that are assembled together that run the whole 20’) and hanging the plastic shutters. I used step ladders to help hold the walls when I started assembling the shed. I also used a tall step ladder and a 2×4 to hold pressure on the roof so I could screw together some spots.
Luckily everything fit together and the doors open well.
I’m overall please with the product. Hopefully it’ll last a long time.
Next project is to add shelving inside and a bike rack to organize all the kids bikes in order to clean out my attached garage.

Fantastic Shed! Looks Great And Lots Of Room
Bought this shed and had it delivered right to our house. Took my time and had my brother-in-law help. Instructions plus video were extremely helpful

I purchased this shed to use as a workshop when I retire. After the wife seen it assembled, she wanted half! So now I have a “He Shed, She Shed”! Overall, the assembly was easy to understand, but there was a couple of times that the written instructions did not match with the online assembly video, but I managed to get it figured out. I had concerns about the ability of the shed to withstand high winds. I built mind on a gravel pad, 6 inches deep. I used 60cm earth anchors to secure it to the ground. We had a storm pass through with 140kmh winds. I expected the roof to get blown away, but the next day, everything was still standing and no damage! I was very impressed. So far, I have lined the shed and ran electricity. I have attached photos of what I have completed so far.

To anyone reading reviews and considering buying this shed: I give this shed a perfect 10/10 rating for instructions and build quality. I did 95% by myself (just needing help for the roof skylight piece). Amazingly not a single piece was missing or damaged. Also, everything fit together perfect.
To whomever designed this, it really is impressive how well it fits together. The roof is very strong and I have no issues with the doors catching. The only small comment I will make is that the directions do not indicate which doors (for front or side) require which height hinge rods. You have a 50/50 shot and I was unlucky. The instructions just need to be updated to clarify which is which.

I bought the Lifetime 20×8 shed nearly a year ago..what a happy buying decision I made! This product a wonderful addition to my backyard not only in appearance but in functionality. I had this shed professionally installed and they did a wonderful job on this installation. I highly recommend using installers that know what there doing. I would recommend this product to everyone without hesitation!

The shed is excellent but initially had trouble assembling. We tried the instruction book, and YouTube but it was not until a representative told us about the downloadable assembly app. This is when everything finally came together. The pictures in the app and instructions were easier to understand and follow for a novice. Wish that we had this first would’ve saved a lot of time and bad mistakes.

Love the roominess and accessibility of this wonderful shed. My husband put it together mostly himself. It withstood a windy and rainy season and kept everything in pristine condition. We ended up buying a second one. We recommend this to anyone who asks about our sheds.

This shed is very durable, stylish and practical for storage, but looks more like a cute little cottage! My husband put the shed together by himself! He felt the directions were fairly easy to understand. The shed really increases the view and value of our back yard. The skylights, peak and windows in the doors and walls let so much light in and the 2 windows open up 1/2 way for ventilation! This cute little shed is perfect and I just love it! So glad we bought it!
