Metal Tool Box Plans

Review by Terri P. May "gamsta" : Portable Storagw

This is very difficult to assemble and the directions are very poor. Written instructions are confusing and the pictures are useless. I don't know how it will hold up to weather.

Review by Doug Harvey : Not bad for the money

If you've shopped around, you know that sheds aren't cheap. So when I picked up one of these as temporary storage for under $150 I was pleased. I only intend to use it for overflow from my house while working on various projects. Unless you have a super flat yard, I recommend building a floor. It must be anchored either to a floor or the ground. So it makes little sense to try and anchor to a sloping yard. It'll look stupid if nothing else. I agree with another reviewer that you should build the floor so it sits high inside the shed and prevents water from getting to the "floor." It's not a tent, so it has no floor per se. The instructions are awful so be patient and you'll make it through by figuring out stuff on your own. This will entail some trial and error. Do allow at least 4 hours to put it together. For housing outdoor things that may be ok getting a little wet, this is a good move. I wouldn't put anything to fragile in this shed. It may blow away or the wind may be able to drive some water into it. It's not like a permanent shed. Oh, and don't expect that animals won't be able to get in, it's not that well sealed.

Review by Tracey Myers "photo nerd" : Great Shed Alternative

I needed a temporary shed to store things in while I renovated the existing one. This shed showed up in record time and really wasn't that hard to put together. Needs 2 people though. My only problem with it is that it does flap around a lot when it's windy but it stays in place. Once I finish my renovation I am going to use this to house my snow blower. I like the fact that I can move it around as well. Good buy.

Review by Mark : 2 years and starting to rip

Be advised that if you leave this up year round, it will start to tear within 24 months. Pinholes started appearing after one year and an 8 inch tear has appeared, plus several smaller tears. The gray material is thin as paper and not the least bit durable. Keep in mind this is nothing more than a temporary solution for a storage need. Considering the amount of work required to assemble the frame, I would think twice before wanting another one.Better cover materials are available but the cost makes you stop and think about putting up a regular shed instead.

Review by My Opinion : WOW!

This is a well constructed Shed and the extra height is great because you can walk comfortably on the inside. The instructions are very confusing. My husband and I figured out how to put it together. You need 2 people to put this together but once it's up you will be very pleased with the quality. We are using the shed for the "overflow" of stuff in our house.

Review by Karri Ann "we are campers and gardeners" : Recently purchased - used for 2 months so far

We recently purchased the ShelterLogic 10x10 for additional storage at our permanent camping site. So far we are very satisfied with this product - we wanted to get mowers, a glider swing, brooms, rolled fences for vegetable garden, and other items out of cold and snowy winter weather - plus eliminating the "junky" look around the camper. We plan to use it year long as with the summer comes planting flowers and vegetables utencils, containers, bags of dirt, etc. We got the grey shelter and when we checked it last week, it was nice and toasty inside so i'm thinking it'll be a great place to put spring plants prior to planting if the weather is cold and rainy. The village where we have our camper is small and we're not concerned about locking it. I am thinking about getting a smaller one for our home for my planting equipment, etc. (I'm a messy gardener!)

Review by P. Suklis : Fantastic!

Glad I did'nt waste a bundle of money on one of those stupid metal sheds. This thing is far superior, at a fraction of the cost. I put it together by myself, in a windstorm! only problem I had was that one of the strap ratchets fell apart. I called Shelter Logic, and they shipped a replacement same day. I can't review the anchor system. I din't use it. I built a floor to bolt it down to. Just love it. Shelter Logic and Northern Tools & Equipment are tops in my book
