Workshop Shed 6.11m x 3.07m x 2.27m Rivergum

As thin as paper, no internal support. Don’t buy this. Spend a bit more and get something decent from a quality supplier.

Good size shed. Metal is thin when putting together. The sides are very long and require at lest 3-4 people to stand and move them about. The central roof beam seams to be sort and since it sits on the end wall one end is pulled in at the top so it will fit. There for making the roof panels to big they needed to be trimmed. To be able to put the flashing on. The corners of the shed don’t really met up properly. So had to get flashings made to cover them. And the fasteners to hole the shed wall down with are for wood , when all the others are for concrete. So I am still unsure on how to fix them. But otherwise when finished it is a good size and well do the job.

Very nice once completed

Not for the faint hearted but very rewarding once finished! Agree with most of the reviews around the instructions being too vague and not enough detail. The video's are a MUST watch if you want to see much needed detail. Yes everything is mega flimsy during assembly but once assembled its extremely rigid and no way you could have it blow over in the wind. Main suggestion here is clamp a piece of wood the length of the wall to keep it rigid when standing up and during assembly until roof is on which it where the strength comes from. The main ridge beam is undersized so you wouldn't want to stand on the roof or you'd bend it even more. During assembly i propped it up with a piece of wood and at the very end i removed it and the roof sagged less than 20mm so not as bad as people making out. The frame is just plain weird...install it AFTER you assemble the 4 walls and ridge beam or you won't get it nice and flush and be able to screw the iron directly into the frame for extra strength. Concrete pad dimensions are vague... the iron supports are tiny like 20mm so you can't rely on these to sit on the edge of the concrete pad like you would a garage. Suggest going a little wider than interior dimensions so you don't rely on brackets to hold the weight of the walls. Rivet gun is terrible - use your own. Ran out of tek screws...needed to buy a pack of 50. Noticed how much easier it was to install them than the ones provided in the kit. Had get my own 4.1mm drill bit as the supplied one shattered after about 5 holes. I'd certainly buy another of these kits but you do need to put 30-40 hours into the install - would be quicker second time around of course.

Overall good value for money but there were some problems. The plans lacked detail, some components were the wrong dimensions and various bits and pieces didn't line up or were poorly made.

This is a great shed - for the money. It looks pretty good and I only have a couple of concerns. It was not easy to assemble - 2 people with fairly good skills took 2 days for this work, The ridge beam is definitely not strong enough for a 6m span. I’ve put a post in to compensate but then you have a post. Otherwise, it’s cheap, looks good, and is water tight.

The finished (as per instructions) shed seemed a little flimsy so I added a central wooden support post, and lined the walls and doors with ply which has made it feel a lot more solid. The paint is incredibly thin, and scratches easily, so will give it a coat or two of paint in the near future...

If you’re not a VERY handy person, this is not for you. I had to do a bit of trimming with tin-snips and the instructions are vague. I replaced the bottom portal frame fixing brackets with thicker ones as the supplied ones are so flimsy that the steel posts are able to be pushed over by hand, bending the brackets. I probably spent several hundred dollars more on silicone sealants, fixing plates, bolts, anchor bolts and expanding foam. I poured a concrete slab with a rebate to keep water out. A very solid timber base may be OK, but the fixing screws supplied to hold it down are totally inadequate. The shed is sturdy if you replace the bottom plates and screw the wall cladding directly to the steel portal frame. You will need several tubes of silicone on the ridge beam or it won’t keep the water out as the supplied sealing/flashing tape is as good as packing tape. The hardest part is getting the steel portal frame in exactly the right place prior to standing the walls up against it. You will need several friends around to help stand the walls up, hold in place, and help overlap the corners when that day comes. There is no eve on the ends of the shed, only along the two sides, so I had to use expanding foam and silicone sealant to fill the gaps. The finished product is very sturdy and you don’t need to build a subframe inside the shed if you get the steel portals in the right place and fix them down to the slab properly with better brackets and bolts, as well as tek-screw the cladding directly to the steel frame. There are no dimensions for setting out the portal frame. It's a huge space when complete but what you save on initial outlay cost, you will pay for in sweat equity.
