Top Amazon Reviews


  • You need a friend, and a whole day
This review is for the 8x6 Polar Aurora Outdoor Metal Shed. It's a long review, go get yourself a beer. (TLDR about midway.) I bought this shed to store my yard tools in. I placed it on a prepared concrete pad, anchored it with expanding lag bolts, and sealed the underside with butyl tape. It's big enough to hold my large (3" throat @ 10hp) chipper/shredder; a lawn mower; all of my shovels, hoes, and rakes; my weedeater and all of its attachments; and some yard chemicals like fertilizer and grass killer. I wanted to get a wheelbarrow in there too but the 8x6 just wasn't big enough. That's not any kind of criticism about the shed - it's just meant to give you an idea of how much stuff it can hold. As other reviewers have mentioned, all the painted metal pieces were covered in plastic. I strongly recommend that you remove this plastic, and I truly hate to make that recommendation because it's a time-consuming task that is 100% not enjoyable. But, the plastic is imperfectly applied in places, and in these places where it isn't in contact with the metal, there's a chance water can get in there and sit. This metal is super-thin, folks. Even galvanized metal succumbs to rust eventually. Don't leave the plastic on. I included some hints on removing it at the end of my review. The shed arrived extremely early. So early, in fact, that the concrete wasn't ready yet. I had to let the shed boxes sit outside for 5 days while my concrete cured. I planned the whole concrete pour around the delivery date of the shed. So while I normally love to get my orders early, in this case, it wasn't ideal. The boxes are large and I had no place to keep them indoors. However, I'm not deducting stars for that, it's just FYI in case you try to plan as carefully as I did. Packaging was OK but not the best. There were a couple of pieces that had slight damage to one edge or another. Nothing was dented, though. None of the damage was a deal-breaker for me and most of the damage was obscured after assembly. I did take off a star for this. They could easily add in some foam to help the packaging without much trouble and without affecting the excellent price point by much. The assembly hardware is plainly marked and it's just about impossible to mix up which screws are used in which steps. I had extra screws and washers at the end so they definitely made sure to include spares. The assembly instructions were well-done and easy to follow. (I will suggest that you find and use a magnifying glass, though. Sometimes the way to tell how to orient a piece is to observe which way the oblong holes are running - horizontal vs. vertical - and man are they tiny in the pictures.) Generally speaking, though, you shouldn't be able to assemble things incorrectly. Build quality was surprisingly good. I expected a much less solid structure at this price. Fitment was overall pretty excellent, holes lined up during assembly ~95% of the time. (Keep in mind that in something this complex with literally hundreds of screws, NO ONE is going to get 100% perfect fitment. Not the manufacturer, and not the builder.) When holes didn't align I was able to move one piece or another to force alignment. This is where the helper comes in really handy. Only when that didn't work, did I resort to my own self-tapping screws. That was pretty rare, though. To reinforce to you how sturdy this shed is: in order to fasten the roof cap ridge thingy, I had to actually lay down on the shed's roof. I weigh over 250 pounds and it was solid. I did create a couple of dents, but that was my fault for putting weight down in an unsupported spot. So, this shed is definitely sturdy. Don't let the thin-gauge metal walls fool you. I'm really pleased with this purchase. Buying this and assembling it myself saved me several hundred dollars over getting one locally - which more than paid for the concrete that I put the shed on. The shed surprised me with its quality and ease of assembly. The finished product looks good. The doors open easily and the shed is solid. I would definitely recommend this shed to others, and in fact, if I needed a second shed, I'd buy one of these again. ***TLDR*** A surprisingly solid shed that anyone with decent DIY skills can build. A helper is needed. Peeling the plastic takes about as long as assembling the shed. Instructions and assembly materials are very organized and easy to follow. You may encounter some fitment issues that can be easily overcome with some self-tapping screws. Shipping was really fast but packaging could use a little improvement. You need to make plans for flooring (none included) and/or anchoring to the ground. Assembling the shed required: *A friend/helper + beer for payment *A stepladder *A step stool (or, the ladder, if it's short enough to go inside the partially-constructed shed) *An impact driver w/ phillips and allen bits *Pliers or sockets (there are a few bolted connections in addition to all of the screws) *An enormous amount of patience (because, plastic peeling) Other things I used that others might not need to worry about: *concrete anchors *Butyl tape or other sealant *Self-tapping screws (I mostly used these where fitment issues kept me from getting the holes to align.) OK, here are some pointers you may find helpful.... *The plastic you've read so much about in these reviews is actually regular old plastic wrap. It's not applied with any adhesive, it's just shrink-wrapped. Removing it is very much like peeling sunburn skin off your arm. Heat guns/hair dryers don't help, and neither do rubber wheel adhesive removers. *When peeling the plastic, look for thin little straight lines. They usually run long-ways for the whole length of the piece. These lines are actually perforations, and they are meant to rip away from the rest. Typically, you'll want to focus on a plastic strip near one of these lines to get it started. Once it's started, work just that one strip all the way down the piece until it's removed. Then go back to where you started from and start the next strip, and remove that one. Continue in this way until it's all pulled off. My helper and I experimented with this technique and it seemed to be the fastest way. For reference, he was trying to peel the plastic from a piece all at once and keeping it all together. Once I started just pulling the individual sections/strips, I was getting done faster. ALSO - don't worry so much about the plastic that's on the interior of the shed. It's not likely to get wet. *The washers are nylon and come in a 12x10 sheet. What I did was pull one row off the sheet, so I'd have like 10 or 12 of the washers together in a line. Then, when placing screws, I'd just hold the whole strip, put a screw into the last washer in the row, position it, and drive it in. Finally, I would yank on the strip of washers to break off the one that I just screwed down. This was easier and faster than trying to separate all the washers individually. *Don't allow things to lean against the walls of the shed until it's all the way together. The walls can flex quite a bit until the roof pieces go on. I caused some fitment issues by leaning my roof pieces against the walls while assembling other parts. *The screws they give you are not self-tapping, so if you do have a fitment issue that keeps holes from coming into alignment, go get a self-tapping screw. The ones they give you will just spin and not dig in. *When putting on the roof pieces, the instructions have you go from front to back. I found the easiest way to do this was to work from inside the shed, standing on a short step stool to get my head and shoulders above the roofline. It's a tight squeeze to put on the next-to-last roof pieces, but if you can get those from inside, the last two pieces are really easy to reach from outside when you're on a stepladder. How I anchored and sealed it: The instructions have you build the floor frame first. Immediately after that you start screwing on the wall pieces. In between those two steps, we did the following: *Centered the frame on the concrete pad and marked its boundaries *Helper stood on the frame to keep it steady while I made starter holes for the anchor bolts *Removed frame, made anchor holes, sank anchors *Returned frame, ensured proper alignment. Then, flipped frame upside down in-place *Applied butyl tape to the outermost edge of the frame's underside *Flipped frame back over and settled it down on the anchor bolts *Tapped frame into place with a 2x4, then went around the edges and tapped it some more to seat the butyl tape against the concrete. Bolted the frame down on the anchors. ... show more

  • Good shed, lousy instructions
Color: Black Size: 8x11.7 FT
Pretty sturdy shed for the money - good size. The instructions were mostly drawings that did not give you any warnings about proper parts orientation. That is where most assembly problems originated - not being able to properly orient the wall and roof panels. This structure is intended to be built on a solid surface. If you don't buy the frame base advertised with it, you should either pour a slab or build a base of your own. I used 2X6 as supports for a three 4X8 3/4" sheet floor. This gave me something solid to build on and keep the walls square as I put it up. All the panels were coated with a thin plastic that I chose to leave it on. It will peel off pretty quickly but it provides some weathering protection initially. The kit provides some rudimentary tools and surprisingly they work well. The little screwdriver is a keeper and we added it to our basic tool kit. There appears to be more than enough hardware in the package. The end gables for the roof are very thin and easily deformed. I straightened them out enough to use them. The parts are thin, and very lightweight. The structure's strength and integrity comes from being assembled - very like the cheap unibody construction of today's cars and aircraft. Since our area is prone to high winds, I will probably add some interior framing to reinforce the structure. Even though I consider the instructions to be inadequate, if you know what you are doing, you can build a decent shed without breaking the bank. ... show more

  • DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!
THE SHED WAS SENT IN TWO SHIPMENTS, MORE THAN A WEEK APART. I PAID $300 TO HAVE MY HANDYMAN PUT IT TOGETHER FOR ME. IT TOOK HIM THREE DAYS BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A STRUGGLE. THE BOLTS WERE INCORRECT, AND DID NOT MATCH THE BOLT HOLES. THERE ARE GAPS THAT WILL LET THE SNOW AND RAIN IN. THERE IS A GAP AT THE TOP, WHERE YOU CAN SEE LIGHT. IT WAS ADVERTISED AS EIGHT FEET BY SIX FEET, AND IT WAS OFF BY SIX INCHES. THE DOORS DO NOT MATCH UP, WITH ONE A FEW INCHES TOO LARGE. THERE IS NO WAY TO LOCK IT! IT WILL LET ALL THE ELEMENTS IN AND I LIVE IN SNOW COUNTRY. I AM SEVENTY YEARS OLD AND DISABLED. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE COMPANY PERSONALLY AND THEY DO NOT EVER ANSWER THEIR PHONE. THEY HAVE RESPONDED BY SENDING ME A RETURN SLIP AND TOLD ME TO HAVE IT DISMANTLED AND SENT BACK. I PAID $300 TO HAVE IT PUT TOGETHER, AND I CANNOT PAY ANOTHER $300 TO HAVE IT DISMANTLED AND THEN PAY TO HAVE IT HAULED AWAY TO POST IT. I HAVE EXPLAINED THIS TO THE COMPANY ON THE AMAZON WEBSITE. THEIR RESPONSE? "LET US KNOW WHEN YOU SEND IT BACK." "WHAT PART WAS BROKEN?" THEY KEEP PUTTING ME OFF, AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSH IT TO THE POINT THAT IT IS TOO LATE FOR ME TO GET A REFUND. I WANT A REFUND FOR MY PURCHASE PRICE, AND SHIPPING. THE $300 THAT I PAID TO HAVE IT PUT TOGETHER? I DON'T KNOW. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN HEINOUS. AMAZON SHOULD BACK UP THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY ADVERTISE, AND BE MORE VIGILANT FOR FALSE ADVERTISING. I AM NOT GETTING ANY HELP. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. ... show more
