Best video I've seen on the actual assembly yet. Thank you both for your time and hard work.

[@bluestarindustrialarts7712]

I put this up yesterday. Already had a good base from my old shed. I put it together by myself in 4/12 hours. Nice shed.

[@clydedaisley7560]

puling that mower in is what I needed to see. Helps me decide on shed size. - great review... thank you, sir!

[@jeffallen2631]

Watched your video. Then studied the instructions and stood my Tremont up with 2 helpers in under 4 hours. Thanks so much or the video, super helpful and my shed is tight!

[@headingforhigherground7543]

That's good news! Can you tell me how long it took to do the pre-assembly step? I need to hire someone to build mine and I want to be sure I'm charged a fair price. Thanks!

[@mistajoe3457]

First video I saw which showed any mention of screwing the floor down to the foundation. Great job. Thanks

[@michaelriddle716]

Getting ready to start mine, thanks for taking the time to help others!

[@randallsmith3073]

Did all pre assembly on 8x10 tremont...waiting for 2 son n laws ta come over soon and put walls and roof on...and then I'll tie up loose ends....so far has been fairly easy

[@dontgoglove]

Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful! I'm trying to choose a shed right now and this was really informative.

[@2wheelobsessed]

Just bought this for my Harley. Going to assemble it tomorrow with my old man. Thanks for the vid appreciate the tips 🤙🏻

[@etechia]

Thank you for the video! We’re planning a purchasing one this week and was wondering about putting it together! Really helpful.

[@BalcomFamily]

This helped. Just bought mine today to off some storage to convert my actual 3 car garage into an office and small gym. How did you configure your power you ran to the shed? Did you cut a hole or ran it through the vents?

[@StewartMotoring]

Yes I bought a some 1.5in plastic conduit and cut a hole in the back wall to run the extension cord. I caulked around the pipe. I’m not using much load so extension cord was fine in my case.

[@p.r.t7420]

Injust got mine on Wayfair. It was aabout $1800, and the placed it on special and on top I had a 15% coupon. I got it around $1680. Looks great. Will install today.

[@maddie690ify]

How is the shed holding up 2 years later?

[@EfffGeeee]

I think this was the final nail in the coffin so to speak as this helped me make the decision to purchase this shed.

[@Harvz78]

The base looks great I wish you also did a video when making it.

[@neomacchio4692]

There are plenty of videos online of diy concrete slab foundations.

[@GoHerping]

Unrelated but how do you like the cub cadet? I've been looking at that one but can't decide lol

[@StewartMotoring]

Working good for me, I cut twice a week. Does sometimes struggle if you let grass get too long or if your trying to scalp a yard. There is a boost setting though sometimes helps. But I cut often it doesn’t stress. I bought used and last year could cut my .5 acre yard 3 times before charging.. this year about 1 time as I think I need to replace batteries. They are probably still oem batteries so several years old. I knew buying it they may need replaced.

[@iluvmyapple]

@@StewartMotoring how long did it take to put this together

[@geraldf1463]

Start on the left side, it went together pretty well. My floor didn't line up right, had about 1/4 in gap in the back left piece, played with it and got the outside diameter to line up.

[@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN]

Hmmmm. I was looking into tough shed but something this size is over 3K, might go with something like this now!

[@kirklee1652]

A few questions, please - 1. How wide are the double doors edge-to-edge when both are swung fully open? I had my eyes on the same shed and would need to move the fence anyway. 2. Do you need any workspace in the back when putting up the back wall and the roof? If so, how much would you recommend? 3. You bolted the floor to the concrete slab at the end. I thought you'd always have to bolt the floor to the concrete slab before commencing erecting walls and things. In your opinion, which would make more sense? 4. I (will) have 110VAC at the site. Does the shed have any provision, such as anchor holes for conduits, for overhead work lights? I intend to use the space for my work bench and need power for my tools. Thanks in advance for your answers.

[@bananamonkee]

Thank you. Very helpful video. Is the structure and walls pretty sturdy compared to a wood Tuff shed in windy conditions?

[@staceyking9292]

Do you have any tips on assembling the door handles? I'm like 95% completed with mine and am really struggling.

[@antoinetteanderson-perkins7218]

The shed looks great. Can you provide the dimension of your concrete pad foundation and slanted entranceway?

[@jenniferlinkous9444]

Great Video, thank you for your time! Waiting on ours to deliver. We are going to bolt it in with 4" to 6" steel anchor rods.

[@glenndavis8771]

Shed looks awesome , I just bought one, yours looks great, you happy with it still even though its been two years since this video was done ?

[@StewartMotoring]

Yep

[@headingforhigherground7543]

Very well done video Stewart. I bought one to build & convert into a cat shelter (I have a mini cat rescue). I'm going to install shelving, have doggie doors installed and I contacted Suncast to find out they do have some windows I can purchase to install. In your video you said it took approximately 5-6 hours to assemble. Does that include the pre-assembly time as well? Also, it looks fairly simple to disassemble (what's your thoughts?). This is going up temporarily, until I move. Thanks!

[@scvic2006]

For future reference, the "bar" that spans front to back would be the "ridge" beam.

[@every_thing_wood1251]

I was thinking the exact same thing lol

[@TheLadc5]

Nice video. If you don't mind me asking, how much was that concrete slab? Dimensions? Thanks

[@StewartMotoring]

I paid 300$ for the concrete. I can’t remember how many yards it was and my pad was 1ft bigger in lxw than the shed

[@TheLadc5]

Hey just a question - can we replace the locks or door handles on these sheds? Having a hard time figuring out if I can buy a replacement part on this shed. Wonderful video - thank you!

[@StewartMotoring]

Sorry, I am not sure. I haven’t looked into replacement items

[@sunnydaze9644]

thank you for your comprehensive video. Do you think putting the shed on pavers would work?

[@StewartMotoring]

Yea I think pavers would be fine as long as you’re base below the pavers are the appropriate material. Like you’re doing a sidewalk with them

Can you screw into the walls for shelves and hanging tools etc?

[@longjonsilvers802]

How much was the concrete pad? How much psi rating did you go with?

[@jamesdewer]

I seriously thinking about it. I know the biggest issue is the foundation. I'm only going 8x10 but I plan to use the block and wooden frame style foundation. I'm treating the wood with sealant then plywood on top of the wood. It's going to be a long job. Anyone tried the steel prefabed foundation?

[@MyChannel-vm6dw]

Next video. Does the front and back air vents Have any kind of screen to prevent pests from coming in included?

[@StewartMotoring]

Yes, a screen goes over the vents. Like a door screen

[@Yilly]

nice video - to save cost and not have to rent a van from Menards, do you think the 2 boxes would fit in a say the back of a Jeep cherokee sport? based on the video, my visual view thinks it might but do you recall the size of the boxes (Length, width)?

[@StewartMotoring]

I don’t think it will. My van fits 8x4 sheets of osb board easy and these were not going to fit so I had to get a trailer. But, you could go up to Menards and give the boxes a measure before you purchase.

[@Yilly]

@@StewartMotoring thanks for the quick reply, I think I might just bite the bullet and rent a van from Menards for $30 bucks. It's not really the money , just trying to save myself an extra trip back. I'll be going to Menards after work to check it out but I think you sold me as this was a great video.

[@robertcarr9674]

Thank you for the video. I'm leaning towards Suncast versus Lifetime however I would prefer a 10x8 instead of 8x10. Based on my searches Suncast doesn't make a 10x8. What were the dimensions for the concrete slab? If the shed is 8x10 I'm guessing maybe 9x11 for the slab not counting the concrete ramp?

[@StewartMotoring]

9x11 would be good. I made my slab I bit smaller. Essentially when I did the measurements I gave 3 inches of space on each side. So + 6 inches on the width and length. I recommend going to the Menards website and looking at the demensions as the actual size isn’t exactly 8x10. I think it’s a couple inches bigger. www.menards.com/main/outdoors/sheds-accessories/sheds/suncast-reg-tremont-reg/bms8100/p-1444444189057-c-9658.htm

[@christiancostello275]

Hey looking into buying this shed for my yard - quick question. What are the measurements of the boxes the parts initially come in? Want to make sure I have a large enough vehicle to pick them up in.

Where should I place this 10 by 8 shed in my 54’ wide and 50’ depth backyard? Should I place it at the corner with a 2 feet clearance? Facing which direction? my backyard faces west. Thanks

[@nitrobear148]

You've convinced me to purchase this shed. Very well made video.

[@StewartMotoring]

Thank you

[@johnmichaelnobile1035]

Candace should be assembled if you only have access from the inside. I only have about 12 inches of space all the way around the outside so it may be difficult to work around the perimeter

[@martinneps9387]

How expensive was this shed to purchase please let me know thank you

[@HotTvify]

Im looking at the same shed. Few questions, is it reliable? Do you think can handle strong winds?

[@jessietoribio2693]

so I just poured my slab at 10x10. you think it'll be too small for this shed?

[@StewartMotoring]

Here are the specific dimensions of the shed. Dimensions: 8' 4-1/2" W x 10' 2-1/4" D x 8' 7" H

[@jessietoribio2693]

Stewart Motoring so I’m screwed , it’s gonna hang over about an inch on each side

[@StewartMotoring]

If you really want this size shed, there are options. First one I think of is laying like 2ftx2ft pavers on the side. Adds extra room, maybe gives you a walk way? Just a thought.

[@hectorzambrano01]

Do you know the size of the tool that they gave you for the tan color plastic screws?

[@StewartMotoring]

sorry I don't

[@dklk6285]

How are any gaps or holes in the shed? I'm looking at this shed, and am worried about mice in the winter.

[@peterdavidow2756]

Thanks for the video. Did you anchor it into the concrete somehow? I’m about to assemble same shed on a concrete slab and wondering if it’s necessary.

[@StewartMotoring]

I did, I use some tapcon concrete anchors with the correct size drill bit in a couple spots on the floor. Only used 4-5 of them and they weren’t very long. Probably 2-3 inches long. Put a washer on them as well. Hope that helps

[@mikeswenson6613]

Looking at your video, it seems like the shed is actually 6' x 8' ? I mean, no way are you 8' tall. ??

Unfortunately my cement foundation got poured exactly 10x10' Will it still suffice for this Tremont?

[@StewartMotoring]

Sheds actual dimensions Overall Width 100-1/2 inch Interior Width 93 inch Overall Depth 122-1/4 inch Interior Depth 117 inch So it looks like you’ll be about an inch short on front/back.. imo it would still fit. Maybe outline it in bricks if you don’t like how it looks but I think an inch overhang would be fine. Or 2 inch overhang in the back would fine if you don’t want it overhanging in the front. Just my opinion

[@robank3900]

@@StewartMotoring I kinda figured on that. I still appreciate the reassurance! I was pretty bummed when I measured it. Should of just had them do 11 x 11! lol

[@pumpkin13pinkoe]

I have the same issue with a previously poured pad. My intention is to add a border of gravel to the rear of the shed where it would overhang. Leaving the front of the shed with a few inches near the doors/ramp. How did you make out with assembly?

I made the cement pad about 3 inches wider than the shed on each side and then in the front made the ramp. It was about 250~300 dollars for the concrete pour and I spread it myself

I did the same shed but I poured a 12 x 9 slab. This left room in front of the door way and roughly a few inches around the shed.

Any chance you made a video on that poured concrete foundation for the shed, great video.

[@StewartMotoring]

I didn’t. It wouldn’t have been helpful though as I had barely a clue of what I was doing. Basically make a form - put some rebar in it inch or two above grade - call a cement company have them come pour it - buy some cheap concrete tools from menards and rent their expensive float tool. Do the best you can. Lol

[@gregryan8928]

Can I just put it on level ground without concrete

[@StewartMotoring]

I wouldn’t suggest it. But I’m sure having it straight on dirt would work for a while.. but the floor may become uneven and unstable since dirt easily subject to water and downward pressure. Id recommend at least some pavers below it.
