Suncast 8' x 13' Heavy-Duty Resin Tremont Storage Shed, Sand, Made in The USA

Sharp looking shed. Easy setup but will take a minimum of 3 people hardest part was roof assembly with JJ screws as you need someone to put pressure on the roof lip to get the screws to attach.

doesnt connect properly

My husband and I purchased the shed for three purposes: 1. To use it as a well pump house, 2. As a garden storage shed, 3. A structure that was quick to assemble or disassemble.First I would like to point out that both my husband and I have strong experience with construction based projects. In his younger years he built homes and structures for a living including framing and foundational work. The second point is that we followed all the manufacturer's instructions including building a level wooden foundation. We prepared the site by leveling the ground, then added a layer of crushed stone. We built the wooden base after purchasing, and receiving the kit to ensure proper dimensions as recommended by the manufacturer.Pros:1.Nice look. The design fits the ascetic of our home.2.Easy to assemble. This kit is easy to assemble for those with moderate experience, and proper tools.We assembled it in 2 days with the assistance of a neighbor with building experience. This includes building the wooden base.3. Good ventilation and insulative properties. The corrugated interior wall design seems to offer some protection from the cold, however, we live in the South, so our coldest nights were in the mid 20's.4. Skylights and door windows offer adequate natural lighting in a semi shaded location.Cons:1. Delivery. (This isn't really a con.) This kit with the extension comes in three very large boxes. Expect to be home at the time of delivery with people strong enough to help you. Due to my gravel driveway and the fact it was delivered by tractor trailer (18 wheeler) the delivery person was unable to use his dolly on my driveway. I'm posting this for those folks that may live in a rural setting and or have driveways that are inaccessible for delivery companies.2. The 13'x8' is a 10'x8' with an extension kit. This means you will need to read BOTH sets of manuals prior to building. The extension kit manual has the platform dimensions in it NOT the manual for the original kit.3. The roof assembly can by challenging. Someone of a smaller physical frame will need to get up on the roof while the somone else is screwing in the self tapping screws inside. None of us had the confidence that an average size man could be on top of the roof. This is a plastic shed.4. The doors have no adjustment capabilities. Although we were diligent in measuring the structure for level, when installing the doors, they were off by a fraction making one of them difficult to close. The only solution, passed disassembling the entire kit, was to fashion a header on the inside of the shed. This not only remedied the issue with the door, but also gave overall better structure to the shed.4. The kit needs better frame structure. There is minimal frame structure for the kit. The trusswork is pretty flimsy. This was the reason the men were unconfident about getting on top of the roof during installation. The lack of structural strength could be why the door was out of plumb, or it may have been a manufacturing error, or builder's error.To conclude this review: if you have building skills, it may be better to build your own structure. There are several design issues with this current model. For those less skilled at building structures, I would certainly advise to bring a person in on the project that has experience and wireless tools.

This is the 2nd shed I purchased. 1st shed went with my last property, excellent, high quality. Easy assembly.

Excellent worth every penny no problem so far

This is the nominally 8x13 foot vinyl shed by Suncast. Their Tremont series. Part number BMS8130.It arrived on August 22, I hired a contractor to build the foundation and the shed. Contractor and helper arrived today (August 29) at 8:00AM with the foundation pre-built and had the shed 90% finished by 1:00PM. Went together very easily. Then I asked if they needed anything, thinking maybe I should buy them lunch. The contractor explained they had looked thru everything 3x's but two of the sky lites and skylite seals were missing. Well that's not good. He comes back tomorrow to finish. I called Suncast. The agent apologized for my inconvenience and took my information. Okay, as I expected. Then I asked how long. 2-3 days to ship was the answer I got and 10-15 days before it arrived. I don't know where Suncast ships from, maybe China? I live outside of Philadelphia, PA. So, I ask if I can pay a premium for 3 day delivery figuring it would be worth $50 to be able to have this finished by the end if next week. I was informed that Suncast does not ship anything but ground 10-15 day delivery. I then realized there was no "Inspected By" form in any of the boxes. No one takes responsibility for making sure all the parts are in the box. $1600 and I'm now jammed up. Loose 1 star for missing the part in the first place and another one for a lack of customer service.Other than that it's a nice product. It's actually my second Suncast product. The first was a trash can cabinet I've put my generator in. That did have all the parts and also went together fairly easily. I put that one together myself.

I purchased, built a flat wood platform. My wife and I put it togeher over a weekend. Fairly straight forward if you follow the step by step instructions. The doors weren't closing good. After searching on-line I found that shimming the base here and there worked, and it did for the left side door. However the right door was very tight on the top and the bottom. I finally measured them and the right door is 3/8" taller than the left. I contacted customer support to find out if this is supposed to be, but have received no response yet. Other than that, we are satisfied with the shed. Will update my rating and review if this gets fixed.
