Keter Factor 8 x 6 ft Outdoor Storage Shed, Beige/Brown

The lockable Keter shed is fabulous. I looked at a lot of reviews of sheds of different kinds to replace two old wooden sheds in our garden which were falling to pieces. The shed came flat-packed in two large cardboard boxes. One corner had been damaged in transit, leading to three items needing to be replaced. I emailed the Keter customer service with photographs of the damage, and a very helpful lady called Linda kindly arranged for the three items to be replaced by courier within two days. Following completion of the shed, I packaged the damaged items up and she arranged for a courier to pick these up within two days as well (no charge to me in either case). I constructed a wooden base to raise the floor up from the new flagstones which we were having laid, but the floor of the shed can be placed directly onto a flat surface if drainage is not a problem. The manual supplied is detailed and concise (similar to one of the IKEA manuals). Each item is put up in turn and fixed using the screws and plastic bolts provided. Bolts are easily tightened manually, but I used a pair of pliers to give them an extra turn as I have arthritis in my thumbs. Two of us constructed the shed (myself and my wife), and did not have any problems fitting either the walls or the roof, which all slot into place after aligning with each other. As the construction is of pre-formed plastic, a couple of the wall sections had a slight bend in them, but this was twisted out easily and forms a tight fit once secured in place with the bolts. Final strengthening comes from self-tapping screws which secure all the panels vertically to the upright spines from the inside. The shed is fitted with one window (well-fitted and does not leak), and also two plastic shelves, easily fitted and appear firm. I've checked inside after two recent downpours and there is not a sign of water inside the shed at all. All in all we are well-pleased with our purchase, which looks great, and cannot fault the customer service we received from Linda at Keter. Would strongly recommend this item.

Ordered from Amazon Friday evening, received the following Sunday morning. Excellent service from the two delivery guys who man handled the two(very heavy)boxes through to my back garden. With much help of a neighbour we unpacked each box to check that all the components were there. The components were all clearly numbered to help with following the build instructions. At that point my neighbour asked if he could help with the assembly. I did not refuse and in truth I ended up assisting him. Building is pretty straight forward as everything lines up perfectly, but it is very important to follow the instructions in the sequence shown. I must stress that the assembly is best carried out by two people, some of the larger component are very light weight and would be difficult for a single person to handle even in a light breeze. With just a couple of breaks for refreshments, we were able to complete the build by 7:30 on that Sunday evening. Although some of the components appear flimsy when first unpacked, they become stronger as the build progresses into units. This is due to the clever design and precise manufacture. I suppose some would say a timber built shed would be more aesthetically pleasing, but the timber shed that this one's replaced had cost much to maintain. The maintenance free outdoor Keter storage box I bought some years ago has proved to be just that; maintenance free. I am confident that this Keter shed will prove to be the same, but will of course let you know if proved wrong. Quite chuffed with it, hence the picture.

Good size shed , took us 5 hours to assembly , but the plastics are uneven and the cut outs wasnt perfect so sometimes was tricky to click the parts together , but it all worked out on the end , if the cut outs would be made with good detail then if would be a bit faster , the instructions are very easy to follow , all parts was there plus few spares just in case , very pleased with how it looks but the quality could be a bit better for that price . Just shame you cant buy extra shelves as the one whats comes with the shed , as the one what are sold separately are completely different so it looks a bit odd and they are very expensive . But otherwise happy with the shed and the final effect .

Delighted with the shed, in the main, after a 12 week wait on backorder. Delivery and packaging were excellent and all parts were present and undamaged. I had already put down a plastic grid and shingle shed base and then assembled the shed on my own, dodging rain showers so it did span two half days. It has to be a lot easier with an assistant! I had to make do with a rubber mallet and some bungees. In the useful (Polish) 'how to' clip on YouTube, the guys simply pressed the eaves ends in with their fingers. Unfortunately, I presume as the consequence of a rush to resume production after Lockdown, the quality and sharpness of the some of the mouldings was disappointingly poor and I had to spend a while cutting away all the swarf and then needed to use several adjustable clamps and a lot of washing up liquid to get them to join up and deliver the 'clip' as promised in the instructions! Similarly the centre door hinge holes and slots for the door hasp had to be cleaned out with a craft knife before assembly, which did add to the time. My top tip - when putting up the wall parts, make sure the three centre verticals (part 'CS' with the galvanised strengtheners) have seated right down to the floor each time, or else you have a lot of fettling to do when trying to put on the spans ('D81(1)') above the assembled walls. I noted that in both the online videos I watched, they skipped over just how fiddly it is to fit those two bits; it is even fiddlier on your own. In summary, a decent shed, not too hard to put together, and excellent value at Amazon/Argos prices.

When I read the reviews on how long it took to assemble I took it with a pinch of salt, I have read with other things that they took ages to assemble and they took no time at all. However this did take a fair while to assemble but once you get your head around the logic of the build it was actually quite enjoyable to assemble and I am very pleased with the result. I have never had a plastic shed before and was concerned it would be flimsy but this is rigid and stronger than I thought it would be.

This shed was difficult to put together because a lot of the parts didn’t line up, many hoes were not pre drilled. There was no written instructions just pictures with Click next to it. I had to return one shed because two parts were damaged. It’s a shame because now the shed is together I like it.

so much better than I expected, plenty of room with a window and light coming in from the roof very easy to clean and looking very smart. Transformed the look of the garden and I will never have to paint it

I would like to mention points missed in many other reviews which people still may be interested about: Officially this shed requires two man assembly - since roof fixing require holding it from the top while driving screws in from the bottom. However *it is* possible to assemble it without second person, and I can testify from my experience assembling it entirely by myself. I have used adjustable clamps like these to temporarily hold roof in place while screwing from inside. I have used tape measure to determine where screw goes from inside, then go outside, fix two clamps for two screws, go inside, drive screws, repeat until all roof is fixed. It takes quite more time than with second person, but not hard to do. Also I should mention that even with second person clamps will help a lot - because its really hard to hold bits down while massive screws being driven from below - there are no pre-drilled holes and screw will lift the roof sheets unless applying very firm pressure from above. Packaging is not 100% perfect. Some bits apply pressure on other bits inside package. Which on the long term storage dents/bends/deforms the pieces. E.g. on unpacking my skylight piece had three bad dents on it where another panel laid on it. (esp. if they stack boxes on top in the warehouse). Some other pieces were deformed by pressure inside package too - and hence didn't fit/align perfectly as they should. I have used heat gun with 190C temperature to soften the plastic and straighten it - otherwise it would have been sloppy and difficult fit. A lot of flash on parts also makes assembly more difficult than it should. I recommend checking all parts and removing all flash with sharp Stanley knife before you fit them together. Manual says "usual household tools are sufficient for assembly". However this is true only if you consider angle screwdriver/angle driver an "usual household tool". Because without angle driver you will have hell of a time trying to drive some screws which have a beam below (look photo) - barely enough space to place screw, and no space for screwdriver at all (and they have to be driven more or less straight). Also note while good torque electric screwdriver/power drill is not strictly required, its pretty much essential - because you will have to drive a lot (~100) of various screws, many without pre-drilled holes. You certainly want a firm level base under the shed, and not just for easy of assembly. It has own floor, but the floor is not very rigid (is the same plastic). If there will be soft under-base, this will bend/dent/pit your shed floor if placing anything heavy on it - because it will sag. On the long run this will probably damage the panels and may compromise joints with wall panels (because they rely on floor panels not trying to move or sag). Assembled empty shed weight is about 50-70kg, and its actually possible to move it on your own by pushing on corners near ground - at least as long as you have moderately smooth level surface under, like paving or concrete. This makes it convenient because you can assemble it having where there is space around (because you will *need* space all around, at least to place a stepladder). Then you can push assembled shed right next to walls/obstacles. I did it just by myself. But take note that exactly because its not very heavy, it pretty much *requires* anchoring to the ground - otherwise strong wind *can* shift it or flip it over (since walls have a lot of sail area against wind). Trust me, you don't want that. Yet another reason you probably want solid base under - to anchor the shed to this base. I would also like to comment on (lack of) security. Certainly, this shed is easy for the thief to get in. However, I am not aware of any wooden shed either which couldn't be easily broken in by using simple pry-bar. In my opinion, trying to make a "shed which very hard to break in" is fruitless, that's why its *shed* and will never have structural integrity for that (not unless you build it like a building). If you are concerned about security - just buy an alarm in addition, for example like this wireless motion sensor , they are relatively inexpensive. This will actually give you real protection. Even with some criticism above I'd say this shed is pretty good, esp. for the price and I would certainly recommend it. It beats wooden shed on almost every point - the only downside that its less strong than (reasonably thick) wood. However, if you are competent DIYer its not that hard to add extra reinforcement/bracing inside - still will cost you fraction of wooden shed, and with no worries with wood moving/rotting/swelling or felt deteriorating, etc.

2 Cartons volumineux et très très lourds à déplacer. Un carton et son contenu endommagé. N'avons pas déballé le second et renvoyons le tout. Dommage, la couleur beige et marron (ancien modèle avec porte arrondie) paraissait parfaite ! Reçu en un second achat pour remplacer notre première commande avec un colis endommagé. Nous avons hésité pour cette seconde commande (le prix a légèrement augmenté en 3 semaines ; par crainte, nous n'avions pas opté pour l'échange). Les cartons sont arrivés sans accroc mais surprise en ouvrant, les articles étaient bien attachés avec des liens et élastiques ce qui n'était pas le cas la première fois (on s'est posé la question "est-ce que le 1er envoi n'avait pas déjà fait l'objet d'un achat retourné ?").... A part cela, l'abri est très joli avec ses formes arrondies pour la porte et la couleur (beige et marron clair satisfaisante) sauf la partie intérieure noire du toit retenant rapidement la chaleur 19° dehors, je n'ose pas pensé quand il fera 25 ou 30° cet été. Le montage a été simple, la notice papier très bien expliquée par contre obligation d'être à deux pour le toit (1 jour et demi pour une personne seule) et sans se précipiter. Il faut bien veiller à emboiter les pièces et bien visser sans laisser de jours ce qui pourrait amener à des infiltrations d'eau les jours de pluie. Malgré quelques soucis lors de la première commande, nous sommes très contents de notre achat. L'abri est très beau !

Très bien et de bonne qualité 🙂 Satisfait à 100 pour 100

Acheté il y a 2 ans, je suis très satisfaite de cet abri de jardin Keter Factor. Le montage demande un peu de temps mais les pièces s’emboîtent bien et l’ensemble est robuste. Après 2 ans, il n’a pas bougé : résistant aux intempéries, ne se déforme pas et reste bien étanche. Pratique avec son grand espace de rangement et ses portes solides. Très bon rapport qualité/prix, je recommande sans hésiter.

Ein sehr schönes, funktionales Gartenhaus mit viel Platz für Rasenmäher, Gartenstühle und Gerätsvhaften. Vorne quer passt ein Fahrrad hinein. Sehr gute Aufbauanleitung. Ich kann es empfehlen.
