Keter Darwin Outdoor Apex Single Door Garden Storage Shed 6 x 4ft Grey Wood Look and Feel | Fade Free | All Weather Resistant | Safe and Secure | Zero Maintenance | 15 year Warranty

Great shed and really easy to assemble. The hardest part was levelling the ground after that the shed was up in a couple of hours. Really fair price too.

What a great looking shed. I took notice of the other reviews and It took me an hour to lay a level gravel base (I used plastic grids) The shed was delivered on time at 16:15 and It took 2 people 3 hours to build in total using an impact screwdriver. The instructions are simple and in most instances are clear, some steps you need to take a minute to make sure you are doing it right. As other people have mentioned installing the roof section is the most difficult but to make it easier on step 30 we only screwed the back 2 screws and screwed the front 2 when the roof was completed so that we had wiggle room and didn’t have to bend the roof sections. A piece of plastic ( old credit card) saved damage to the shed and fingers on step 33, and step 43 is wrong it shows the roof supports being screwed from the inside when you need to screw them on from the outside. We only noticed this at the end and it was dark and had started to rain when we had finished and I couldn’t be bothered to unscrew it all so left it that way. On checking the next day it was totally dry inside but as I live in the north of England I will go over all the joints with a brown sealer just to make sure.

Save your time and money. This is an awful product. The slot together sections are awful, didn’t align with the screw area! Flimsy plastic in areas that should be strong. Broken areas. The roof is a joke, how any one is expected to bend thick plastic in to the slots is beyond me. The build instructions were strange, missing labels etc expecting you to be on a ladder whilst bending plastic in to grooves. One side of the roof will not go in due to thickness and is ridged, it needs to bend the opposite way.The base section isn’t screwed in! Honestly I have never been so angry in my life, an entire day wasted calling Amazon and Keter, asking for replacement parts to then find the roof has gaps on edges which would allow water in. So it’s going in the bin. Amazon were good and refunded, however I now have to dispose of this myself.I have built many items in my time, I enjoy it! This however was a waste of time and money. AVOID AT ALL COST!

Grabbed this while it was on sale (£299) to replace a slightly larger timber shed that was incorrectly installed by the previous owners of the house and starting to rot.This arrived in a single box which is quite bulky and heavy to move, Amazon’s delivery was fantastic however leaving it in the garden even though no one was there to instruct them.The box did have everything included, a couple of panels did have some scuffs on them but I wasn’t going to go through the hassle of asking for them to be replaced, just tried to use them for panels facing the fence.Assembly was relatively simple, took around 5 hours on my own (Would be a lot easier with an extra pair of hands, but I was rushing to get it built before expected rain so did it on my own).The instructions are relatively straightforward and easy to follow, just take your time and read them again if you get stuck.The most difficult parts to assemble are:1- getting the second roof panel of each side to slide into position without either breaking the panel itself, or your own fingers, it takes a lot of patience and do try to avoid hitting the ends too hard with a mallet, you will ‘crush’ them if not careful.2- Screwing the door hinges into the metal frame, this was incredibly frustrating and took too much time for no good reason, the pre-drilled holes are simply drilled too small for the screws provided, using the 3 mm drill bit didn’t make them any better, and using the 4 mm made them too big, so it was between using plastic plugs to get the screws to bite, or wait for the next day to grab some different screws, I went for the plastic plugs and the doors are still standing.The shed looks good once assembled, the doors did line-up with little effort (Wouldn’t have any issues on a solid base, my advice? Do NOT install PVC sheds on a gravel base, unless the base is guaranteed to be 110% level), and make sure you anchor it well, it is super light and will most likely be blown away if the wind was at the right speed and direction.The shed should be a lot easier to maintain compared to timber ones, but the compromise is the stability of it, it is very risky to lean anything on the walls like I did in the old timber one, you can literally feel the whole structure leaning when you do that (Even a lightweight bike on the wall, I soon took it off and had the bike rest on a heavy box in the shed instead).It has so far proved to be watertight after a few torrential downpours, weather is also turning a bit Autumnal and Winter will test its frost proofing capabilities.I am generally happy with it and would recommend it, will also update if encountered any issues in the future, otherwise please assume all is well.

After 2 windy days, the men did a great job building our shed on day 3.They placed it exactly where we asked.It is great storage space for garden cushions,bbq and tools over winter.I liked the air vents too, so no damp,foisty smells.
