Panana Outdoor Galvanized Steel Bike Tool Shed, Black, W225xD88xH125cm, 38kg, 2-3 Bicycles, Lockable, Water Resistant

Was looking for a bike shelter and didn’t want to pay £800 for one, built this a year ago and it’s still standing through all weathers, high wind etc, it’s going to last years. Note it doesn’t come with a base, I build a wooden one out of decking, cost about £20. If anyone really wanted to steal what was inside they probably could, but they’d need to do it in a thunderstorm as breaking in wouldn’t be quiet, it’s a very good value store for 2 adult, or several child bikes to keep the weather off them. There weren't quite enough screws but I got a token refund and put it towards a pack of more secure headless bolts so you couldn’t unscrew the doors to break in. You’ll need some patience to build it.

It's utter junk. If like me you are reading the other reviews thinking "I don't mind spending a bit more time putting this thing together" or "these people must have not built it properly", let me assure you that all the bad reviews are correct. It's flimsy, the instructions are awful, there aren't enough screws in the pack, at least 6 of the pre-drilled holes don't line up. The doors flop about & one they get caught by the wind for the first time they will bend out of shape. Total waste of time and money.

Ok, so I'd read the reviews and saw people said it was a bugger to erect. It took us about a 4 hours; 2 fit -ish- 50 year olds, with the help and advice of a 22 year old then the additional support of 2 18year olds to support it. The instructions are not great, there are about 500 very small and fiddly screws used. A few cuts and scratches from the sharp metal - wear the gloves provided!. My husband used words he usually only uses at work and I had to promise to never ask him to help me with anything ever again... All that being said, the final bike shed is perfect. It is strong and fits 3 adult bikes. Obviously it's metal and gets so hot you could cook your dinner on it. Note, it was delivered in 2 separate boxes, on different days. One long box and one rectangular. Neither nor together looked big enough to contain that size of shed. Quite incredible packaging really.

Very easy to put to put together, instructions were easy to follow and it’s a good sturdy shed when it’s all done and locked together. I think some others are just not suited to building things after reading a few other comments..

If you like jigsaws you’ll love this shed. Has hundreds of pieces that take a long time to assemble. Then 2 people at least to hold things together while assembling. Even after it’s all together it’s not as sturdy as I would like and the front doors take quite a bit of lining up to shut properly. That said it does the job. Old adage - get what you pay for. Top tip; don’t assemble if it’s breezy like I did!

I’ll start with the positives as it is a fantastic shed and very reasonable compared to others on the market! The size is great we had 2 adult bikes, 2 kids bikes and a few random ride on toys and there’s still plenty of room in there! Negatives - Echo the other reviews, it’s a huge pain in the a$$ to put together! Granted I did do it by myself so made it hard on myself but I’m pretty handy so was up for the task but this was very tedious! It would’ve been easily with 2 people but it’ll take a good few hrs regardless and wear the gloves provided as the metal sheets will cut your hands to shreds! Also make sure you line all the panels & holes correctly to avoid having to re-do! I had to re-drill most of the holes in the steel posts using a 4mm bit as it was impossible to get the screws in how they came. A huge disappointment when opening the boxes quite a few of my sheets were either scratched or damaged, and some of the aluminium had signs of corrosion where it’s possible been lying in a warehouse somewhere, but customer service were pretty good and offered me a discount as I wasn’t willing to send back after all the graft! The roof section isn’t fantastic. The latch rarely lines up and can be easily loosened by hand so it’s not very secure and the struts aren’t up to much but do help slightly when opening. Also the lock on the front could be easily removed using a screwdriver so again not very secure. All the sheets come with a protective film also, my advice would be to leave that on as again, it’s a massive pain to remove and very time consuming and as mentioned, time isn’t on your side with this build! So ye, a mixed bag really. I wanted to be fair as it’s a great shed and I would recommend it but please be aware of the negatives and the work it takes to assemble!!

The quality of the product is appalling. Holes do not line up properly when fastening the panelling. Some holes weren’t there. The lock doesn’t line up with the latch on the lid. The door fastening latches don’t really release properly due to alignment issues. It’s not very sturdy, it would not be difficult to break into it. It’s not worth the price I paid for it. Panels were bent over, which I straightened. I regret buying it but I doubt I would get a refund for it because it would mean having to disassemble it. Now stuck with it. Instructions were basic.

Would have been a better deal if I didn't have to build it, could have been rebuilt in sections rather than every single section , although it was numbered it still was quite involved. Could do with a rethink!
