Video Tips for Building a Lifetime Shed

Jan: Post 3,712, posted May 22 2009, 12:47 PM , ,


 

I FINALLY did it!  I finally got around to editing and uploading my video clips from when we built our Lifetime 8'x5' Shed back in the Fall.  But, hopefully, it's just in time to help those of you workaholics who are planning on building a Lifetime shed this Memorial Day weekend!

The video is a little long (about 10 minutes), but it's a condensed, yet thorough, documentary of our 4 hour and 45 minute project.  (Honest, that's all the time it took us to build an entire shed!) It's a great insight as to what you're really in for if you're thinking about building a Lifetime shed.  And, it's filled with tips for steps where we, as normal homeowners, had problems.  So, in addition to reading the instructions and my other three shed building posts, be sure to watch this video for some pointers and heads-up of steps that were a little tricky for us.  Hopefully, our video will save you some time and make an already easy shed assembly project even easier!

any body ever take off a front or back and add the addition 2.5 foot extender kit?

After building our shed, the worry we have is hurricanes (Florida) other than bolting the four inside corners to floor base, what other options has anyone suggested to tie down the shed walls, roof etc.

Cyndie Lou,

So glad the video was helpful!  After you assemble your shed display for Lowe's, if you have any tips of your own to share with other readers, please leave another comment.

This was a breeze to build. Once the foundation was complete, took only 11 yr for myself and niece. We put the window on left side, farthest back, and one skylight panel on right farthest back to maximize the light deep into the shed. The instructions were great. We called with one question and the techs were very helpful, easy to communicate with, not condescending. I'd buy another.
