Would it be much easier to set up than an Arrow metal shed? How does this compare to a metal shed?

I never put up a metal shed. this shed went together very good i recommend it. Has not leaked at all and even the spiders have stayed out. Does take two people to put up and have to read instructions closely toward end of installation.

I have done both and both are a pain. I replaced my rusted out Arrow with this shed. The Arrow lasted 10 years and this one is on year 3. Definitely more parts on this shed, but most of it snaps together. I am hoping this shed lasts longer, so that was the deciding factor for me.

I am not familiar with the Arrow metal shed or it's assembly. I can say that this shed was relatively easy to assemble (2 hrs) as most of the parts snap together. Compared to a metal shed I believe this shed is more attractive and will last longer. Suncast sheds should be considered "light duty" and not designed for heavy storage on interior shelving.

I can really say its very easy to put together the instructions are very easy to read but you will need one more person to help you its not a one man job you will need help to set it up hope you get the answer you need : ]

Hi Kelli. It wasn't that hard to set up but took about 2 hours. The directions are pretty well done. My son and I did it together. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend it. We used it for about 3 weeks and totally fell apart. It is pretty junky. I ended up sending it back in pieces and getting a refund.

No, it wasn't easy. You need at least 2 or more people to assemble. Time and effort. Once it is set up, it is a great shed.

Im with Kevin and Dave, don't use anything but estwing. Solid metal allows you to do a lot with it and to it without worrying about it breaking.

The first time I set up the tent, it took about 25 minutes. I've only done it the one time, but it will get faster as time goes. I do have to quanity my answer though. I had no wind, rain and I laid everything out first so I could find it easier.

The shed is shipped disassembled and you have to put it together. It's not that hard but it's much easier with two people and a word of advice, check to make sure you have all the parts before starting your assembly. I LOVE these sheds (we have this exact model and a smaller one by Suncast); however, both times we've purchased them, parts were missing. The company was great about sending out replacement parts (mostly fasteners, gaskets...small stuff), but it would be a bummer to be in the middle of your install and discover the problem then.

yes, this tent is pretty easy to set up, but it is NOT sturdy at all. ours blew over within first hour of having it up and after weighing all posts down w/ cement blocks and tying it down w/ ropes, it still bent and blew over, now, totally non-usable. I wouldn't recommend this tent unfortunately.

Not that I know. That would be a manufacturer question. Please call Arrow shed. I don't have the phone number at the moment but can supply tomorrow.

It's like setting up a tent... It's a little tricky, but can be done by one person. Definitely easier with two!

Super easy to use for a first timer. Just remember not to use too much adhesive. It spreads quite a bit when everything is tightened. There are 2 different ones, one for carbon and one for aluminum. Aluminum arrows are usually larger in diameter so get the one that is best suited to your needs. Comparatively, I would consider this one of the easier ones to use. I have 2 ez fletch jigs. Set one, by the time I'm done with the second one the first one is ready to come out and I just alternate until I'm finished.

Its very easy. My wife put it together in about 20 minutes. It comes mostly already assembled. You just have to assemble the hand rails and put on the end caps. The directions aren't the clearest but She was able to figure them out fairly easily. BTW if you order this like some has stated you may end up with one extra bolt. Have no clue what its for, I am guessing its just an extra.

If the shed is heavy duty enough a standard metal garden shed would probably be pushing it. The awning isn't that heavy (50lbs?) but all that weight is on the mounting brackets when you extend the awning, increasing the load on the brackets. The brackets are plenty strong enough so it is up to what you mount it o.

Absolutely you will be able to set it up. It is very easy very light. Take steps in the right order and it almost sets itself up. Do not stake down the tent until it is totally set up then it is very easy

If you read the instructions first, and lay everything out, it goes to gather fairly easy, but you will need another person to help you. I love my garden shed. It is very sturdy.

It is easy to set up but it is rather heavy. You can set it up to be a rectangular shape or a round shape and it is spacious enough.

Easy. I have set up this tent by myself many times. Always in less than 10 minutes. Last time I went camping my husband/wife friends took about twice as long as me to set up their tent together. You won't really find a simpler tent design than this.
