Devoko 5x3 FT Outdoor Storage Shed, Brown

Great shed that is true to the measurements provided. I needed a place outside of my garage for my wife's gardening and patio stuff. This fit the need perfectly. The assembly instructions could use some work because some of the parts/panels are very similar to each other, but the little screw holes don't match up if you get it wrong. It's easy to fix during the build process but that cost me some time. 3-4 hours is about right for assembly time for one person. I hoped to do it in half that time but it didn't play out that way. Once it's fully constructed it's a solid shed that looks nice and makes my wife happy. Go for it!

I was really debating whether to give this 3 or 4 stars, but here's my experience with it. First of all, it's not actually 5 feet by 3 feet. The description does mention this but I was still surprised to find how small it was once I started building it. It's actually about ½a foot smaller in each direction. I found it fairly easy and straightforward to assemble but as an auto mechanic I'm pretty good at figuring things out by looking at them. I agree with some of the other reviews that the assembly instructions are vague and somewhat unclear. It wasn't too hard for me to figure out what goes where but I could see how it could be difficult for those who aren't as inclined to building things without clear instructions. Overall I am happy with it even though it only fits one of the 2 shelf units I had intended to put in it. Be sure to assemble it on a VERY flat surface! My yard is mostly a steep hill. I dug an area out of the hillside for it and put down wood as a base but I had a hard time lining up the roof panels because the ground wasn't as flat as it needed. I ended up drilling new mounting holes to install the rear section of the roof panels to make up for the uneven ground. The biggest problem I noticed after it was assembled was when the first rain came and it leaked water inside from the rear section of the roof panels down the back wall, but I don't know that this is a defect in the design of the shed as much as the trouble I had lining up roof panels due to the uneven topography and the fact that I built it with the back of the shed against a cut-out hillside which greatly hindered access to the back of the shed during assembly. I also found that the door latch didn't line up perfectly when closing the door but, again, I think this had more to do with the uneven surface rather than the shed itself. In a nutshell, I would say that this is a good solid shed at a great price. If you have a very flat yard it should go together well but if you need to grade things I would suggest making sure it is very level before assembling it and I would also recommend a very solid flat foundation for it.

Worth every dollar!! My nephew put this shed together by himself in a day. It would have been even less time except he added a wood floor base. He said it went together quite easily. I have it on my porch for easy access since I'm 74 yrs old. It keeps out the rain and critters from things I need to store. Good item!!

Calling this shed “poor quality” would be generous. The fit and finish were absolutely terrible from start to finish. The hole alignment was so bad it honestly felt like none of the panels were made for the same product. Every single step turned into a fight because nothing lined up correctly without bending, forcing, or drilling. The metal is flimsy, the instructions are useless, and the assembly process was one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had with an Amazon purchase. They advertise “durability” and “easy installation,” but this thing feels like a cheap tin can held together by frustration and regret. I’ve assembled furniture, trailers, toolboxes, and all kinds of equipment over the years, and this was hands-down the worst thing I have ever bought off Amazon. If negative stars were possible, this would earn them. Save yourself the headache, the wasted hours, and the inevitable anger — buy literally anything else.

I did have to change my initial plan once I realized I couldn’t use it for my lawnmower not because it wouldn’t fit but because I just didn’t have room for it with all my other gardening tools. I put this together myself and I’ll admit it was a pain doing it solo. Th directions are simply pictures and can be confusing. I ended up putting the top railing holding the panels in backwards and didn’t realize until I got to the end to put roof together. If I hadn’t done that I would say this would have taken 2-4 hours with one person. I ended up taken closer to six with breaks because of my mistake. I’ll also admit I got frustrated and haven’t put the door together yet but overall it does mostly what I need. I would not recommend for a very windy location as it is rather flimsy overall. I’m not sure how leak proof it is as I have it on my porch under a patio roof so it’s not as exposed as it could be. Mainly using it for gardening tools ,fertilizer soil and mulch storage. As a structure it’s fine to offer a little protection. I would also add that while the picture shows shelving and peg board it does not come with any of that and honestly I’m not sure how you could attach a secure peg board to any of the walls I did order a shelf separately so that I could use the space more effectively and that works. Shovels, rakes etc with a long handle will fit solo but not in a tools rack as the roof is slopped so one side is too low to put tools in the rack. Overall for a simple storage solution on a concrete patio it work just fine. For reference I got the 5x3 option. I can also stand inside to grab stuff without ducking except to go through the door.

This shed is simple to assemble. I'm a 60 y/o small female and put it together in about two to three hours. Although a second person would make it easier, it isn't necessary. The instructions are in diagrams--think Lego--and easy to follow. Plenty of extra screws included. The shed itself serves my purpose well. It isn't a heavy duty shed, but weather resistant enough to prevent rain and sun damage. (I'm in southern California so our weather is pretty mild). Several reviewers complained about difficulty to remove the plastic from the pieces, which I don't understand; I don't see any reason to remove it at all. Also, at one point I thought I was missing a piece of side wall, but I realized I had screwed in two pieces that were stuck together. Yes, it's pretty thin metal, but it works fine. I almost went with a resin shed instead because I envisioned non-aligning holes and missing pieces. But I had no trouble at all with this shed. I would buy it again.

This shed was priced right! I love it. It is steel and very sturdy. This shed gives me protected and lockable storage space for my backyard. Before my shed, I had zero organization and protection of yard items (rakes, shovels, blower, dirtbags, and various garden tools. This shed provides an organized and protected environment for all my outdoor stuff. I have to thank my 2 stepsons for putting this shed together. It was a bit hard to do as there were so many screws and parts. The instructions were not great but they did an outstanding job putting it together. It went much faster using a drill.

I'm torn on the ratings. It took a long time to get here was even rescheduled most likely because of the weight. It is very heavy. It is smaller than the size advertised which messed up my plans as well. Mine was missing parts including the hinges. Mine was also dented but the box was not. Miss-placed holes for the bolts and no extras so if you get a few which we did that are factory rejects you are screwed... no pun intended. I read instructions over and over, I watched videos, I read reviews, none where correct for the parts I had, this took two months to put together. First I contacted seller for missing parts, hinges and dents in panels and the many drill bits that broke while we had to drill our own holes, they only offered the hinges and $20 off. So a few weeks later they sent one hinge. Ok so the door needs two hinges. so than again a few weeks later I got the other hinge and two months had past from when I ordered it. They never gave us the $20 off that I can find anywhere. After using tons of tools and breaking some, Thank goodness we had them because most homes don't own metal working tool.... why you buy a pre-drilled and cut KIT in the first place, tons of cussing, replacement parts it is finally up. Also this one does NOT have vents. If they had delivered what was advertised I would have given it a 5 star review. After all our work and skill I have a decent shed that we anchor with heavy duty stakes or ground anchors. For what I needed and for the price I would buy again from a different manufacturer and make sure they weren't lying about the size. If you have the skill and tools and extra cash to actually build one of these from scratch but don't want the pain of doing all of it yourself, than for the price I would say this is a decent little shed you will be doing the work that should have been done at the factory and running around town trying to find parts to replace the missing ones.
