After doing my homework and watching your video, I’m convinced this is the product I want to purchase for my home. Outstanding video instructions.
Amazing! This is not an easy task, but my wife and I completed in about.. 12ish hours of work 😅. We’re not the handiest people and did it without power tools. This video was excellent and imperative to our success!
I was lucky to have this video to assemble this shed. Your manual should have the parts identified with a number or letters.
There is a visual I.D. of every part in the manual, and some of the larger pieces have measurements associated with them. Each part is not labeled individually since stickers would increase manufacturing costs, which would raise the sales price. This is why we recommend having the assembly manual on hand as you watch the video and complete the build.
@@LifetimeProductsAssemblyThis video wouldn’t be needed if you had properly labeled parts, and “cost cutting” is no excuse not to put $1 worth of plain white printed stickers on there. You can have machines do it, or just pay a guy $20/hr to put stickers on parts, it would take less than an hour. Then you can raise the cost of these things by $25 and you just made $4 more for each one, and hired someone at a livable wage while you did it, and you raised the price by a negligible amount.
Stickers aren’t expensive, this company is either cost cutting to give investors and the ceo more pay, or is flat broke and can’t even afford stickers.
Either way I’m recommending everyone to stay away from lifetime products until they can label things instead of making me watch a video to build a plastic shed.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly I want to start off by saying that this video is great. However, it would be helpful for the floor section to just label the pieces 1-6.
These videos were so incredibly helpful! I had to replay the door lock section a few times before I could figure out which direction to install the deadbolt, as the manual illustrations were too small to understand. Thank you for this step-by-step guide.
I am from México, this shed is literally better than most country houses on the rural areas. 😅
This is the best instructional video I have ever seen. My brother's shed looks great.
This video was invaluable!! The instructions/build doc was tough to follow, but In conjunction with those videos….a LOT more enjoyable and thorough. Thank You!
To anyone looking to start this build, its not even close to as bad as some people are commenting. Just take your time, be thorough in following the directions and cross reference with the video. Pretty satisfying weekend project.
Thank you for your post . I toured the shed and really liked it then realized it was mis marked by 800 dollars in my fayvor and the company honored it. I’m excited to build this thing . I’ve had other Life Time products and they have been outstanding…..
Thank you for this video. My confidence is restored! Still leveling the subfloor at this point but I look forward to getting started with the build. 🤠
So I lost my manual, but this video guided me along. Great production!
Purchased this last one in stock from Home Depot on Oct 24 & just received it on Nov 4. Fast Delivery was excellent with customer service & driver. Top box (2 of 3) on pallet looks damage, hopefully not the product inside. Great Video, looks easy enough that they dumb it down with step by step. Cant wait to get it installed. Will update once completed.
I am a 5'2" grandma and due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to put this shed up completely by myself. It took me almost week and the shutters still aren't on, but it's really a great shed and I am very happy with it. Very well engineered. I got this one as a coop for my growing flock of guineas and would absolutely buy another one for the garden stuff that's taking over the shop.
Happy building!
Let us know how the assembly process went and what you think of the end result!
Love this! Don't forget to leave your review on our website as well. Here's the link to review this product: www.lifetime.com/lifetime-6446-15-foot-x-8-foot-outdoor-storage-shed
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly
Assembly went very well. I would've finished faster but I was fighting a bad stretch of wind and weather. I will say again that it's _very_ well engineered and assembly is no problem at all. It was actually an enjoyable project when I wasn't cursing the wind, haha. It's holding up extremely well, not a single leak from driving rain or snow load. My guineas are safe and secure from the weather and predators, and I honestly couldn't be happier with this shed. 💜
Great video! Really helpful to have the visual aid along with the instruction manual. Thank you!
Awsome video very helpful , thank you my shed looks great
Thank you so much for sharing this detailed video. I just picked up my 15' x 8' shed today and I'm now looking forward to putting it together. This was the best instructional I found on CZcams. What a big help this was. Thanks again!
I have a question. I picked pick up too. The delivery fee was insane. What vehicle did you use to transport?
@@KarlaHernandez-xu2iw I used my pickup truck, normal size bed. Delivered with no problem.
@@KarlaHernandez-xu2iw I used my pickup truck. Normal size truck bed. Transported without a problem. Good luck!
This video is VERY good and helpful....but there are details in the process, that could be just mentioned. Putting this together was NOT like a breeze. We are very good with tools and DIY projects of all kinds. The floor was troublesome and required 3 of us to push and hold.... the walls, didn't just fall in place, the roof.... we had to make things work.
What I mean is... that how it looks in this video..... is NOT the experience we had! LOL
By the way, one of the floor ends was defective (did not align with nothing and was 1/2 inch short)... and it took 3 weeks to receive a replacement, 4 phone calls and they even canceled the request for the defective panel!
Mine is taking more than 6 hours to complete. This video is outstanding, but I'm amazed at how easily things go together here and in real life is NOT a breeze. Overall.....looks very pretty, but I would have made it with wood much faster and cheaper.
Yeah the roof was a nightmare we just used real tapping screws to piece it all together correctly
Tell me about it My dad and I are currently trying to work with the middle section of roofing Looks like we might have to make some adjustments as well
Thank you soooooooooooo much for posting this video!!!
49:19 so much easier to build by using this video. Took two of us about ten hours. It does require some muscle especially with the roof. Definitely bring a mallet because some holes don’t align with plastic, but some hits with the malette do the job. I’m a few cases we had to drill holes when the existing holes didn’t quite match. A concrete slab is highly recommended .
Naturally he makes it look easier than it is, but it’s not a bad process. You will need your helper almost all the time.
Fkn hell the whole roof is warped. Thank god no one was around to hear my moans and groans
Very, very helpful!
Bro....thank you!!! Totally great video that's a game changer!!
Great Video !! Thank you !!
This killer soundtrack is in my head for weeks now
Omg! Thank you for this video!!
Our doors are not even on both sides... One side is higher then the other and we are sitting on a concrete pad

Did you manage to solve the problem? I am having the same issue here? The right hand door is higher and can't close it, hitting the under side of top curved panel. Total nightmare this shed is
great video for assembley
The best telling part about how great the instructions are is when the manual and this video say "slide this part over the door, but FIRST put this inside." It's not "Put this inside, then slide this over the door panel." So funny the video doesn't correct that from the manual, just repeats it.
Followed the instructional video to the "T"! I put my side door on the right. Side door bushings line up perfect for door, but the front main door left side busing hole is covered by wall panel. Please help.

Assembled 8x15 two door openings,paper directions are a fin joke,notch rafter truss was one mistake we made jigsaw my owe new notch hinge poles different lengths short ones on front long ones on gable ,another Sawzall cut for us ,and lay out floor properly for hinge poles and dead latch line up another make my own hole for cup ,12hrs total two guys loss 350.00 on this job.
Can you swap the doors from one end to the other? On the manual it shows both ways. I need the doors on the front and then on the LEFT side.
Can you change the position of the door, to left side or right side
There is a lot of design errors with this shed. Many of the screws are too short and do not grab. But the biggest is the plastic cups that the door rods sit in. In the video they go in no problem. Well, because he's building it on a concrete floor. If you are placing this shed on ANYTHING other than concrete pads (either tile or a whole pad) it WILL NOT WORK. I laid a compacted base for the shed to sit on. When you pound the door rods in, those cups the rods sit in just sinks into the ground. Now it is virtually impossible to ever set the door correctly.
Also, the curved gable end above the door, it doesn't fasten to anything! Also extremely hard to get set. (Unless you are building it on a nice, level concrete pad. Also because of the above issue, the rods not properly placed.
@@missmiller7829 I grabbed plastic spacers (thick plastic rings really). Guesstimating the size.
Had to use a lot of leverage to lift shed to get rings on. I think I used I crow bar and either wood or a brick beneath it.
@@SantaM0nkeVR Thanks for the quick reply! I do think this particular model is defective. It was really hard to put together, even with three people. Unless you are putting it on top of a perfectly plumb concrete foundation - you will run into trouble.
@@missmiller7829 Agreed. I found the gable above the door just couldn’t all meet up. Again it deals with those rods so Hmmmm? But I finally had to just let it go. I grabbed some screws from the hardware store for the roof panels. But beware (!) to long and you’ll go right through the roof. Ask be how I know.
Lifetime replied to me pretty much saying you should have known to build it on a solid base so it’s not our problem.
Interesting how their instructions say that at #11 and not 1.
I knew to gave a level base to begin with, but a complete framed AND paneled base? Come on.
I had so many issues and it stemmed from not an insanely perfect level base. The biggest being the doors and the gable not reaching.
Close the doors and put a bolt or something through your lock holes.
Run a ratchet strap/tie down around the doors and walls going through the windows.
Pull them tight to get the gable to reach the roof rails
Once you’re there you can mallet down the gable and begin tightening everything.
Hope this makes sense and helps. I did this one on my own, and had to get creative with straps to get things to line up nicely.
How big are the boxes that this item comes in? I have an option to pick up, but I'm not sure if they'd fit in my car or if I will have to borrow a truck.
Get a truck or better yet pay for delivery. The boxes are VERY heavy and big.
The boxes are enormous and heavy. You'll need a pickup truck and men to put them in. Each box weighs about 300 pounds.
If you have the option for delivery, I'd have them delivered to your house. I wished I had done that.
Thank you for the video - the instructions that come with this shed are terrible, disorganized and bounce around all over the place - this project has been a complete nightmare
I thought the directions were good, but I watched an older version of this shed to compliment the written instructions. I will agree that this shed was a nightmare to put together.
The vids helped but that front gable does not line up very well at all. Mine is all together and works but I may make some adjustments to work around that part.
i'm having a concern over the roof caps. When securing the screws that screw them together(not to the truss). We realized after that the screws went right through to the other side(outer roof). We are concerned now that rain will be able to get into these holes. When we went up on a ladder it appears they went through on every one of the roof caps. We confirmed we were using the proper ADZ screws

The shed was a nightmare to assemble and the material is garbage. Better off saving extra money and having a shed built.
Question. I have a dual entry rough cut. I don't want the door in the center of the wall panel, I want it on the left. How do I achieve that? My thoughts are (right to left, window window) then ckk, door door, ckn?
Save yourself the headaches of misaligned everything and have a professionally poured slab of concrete as your foundation. Or buy another model. This model is not wooden foundation on grass friendly.
I didn't have a problem putting it on a wood foundation but I went over my base multiple times to make sure it was level front to back and side to side. I'm glad I didn't put it on stone though. That would never work.
This is very good video which shows steps by steps shed assembly. Do you have a similar video for the Lifetime15x8 dual entries shed model 60079?
I'd like to follow the exact steps described in the assembly manual which it has skylight and extra side door that differs from the model 6446 that is shown in this video. Thanks!
Unfortunately, we don’t have an assembly video for 60079. You can use this video to guide you, but you’ll need to refer to you instruction manual for the second door assembly and the skylights. Also the accessories maybe different on this model than 60079.
Die Verpackungen und Tüten mit den Schrauben waren alle falsch beschriftet. Wir mussten mehrfach suchenden Video ist dennoch sehr hilfreich. Wir hatten leider nicht soviel Raum zum aufbauen und es war draußen sehr kalt
Is this building waterproof there was no caulking used
Our sheds are weather resistant, but not water tight or water proof. Water can get between the seams of the roof panels which is then collected by the truss channel and drained outside the shed.
Missing last narrow panel
Dont expect the assembly will go easy like this video. The alignment piece to piece is not this accurate. U have to wiggle thinga around, push & pull really hard to fit in. I am at step 9 20s now and the door to the roof front is really dont fit well, my wife and I are struggling our asses off.
Sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with the assembly process. There can be a couple of reasons as to why you have a gap in between your door and the gable but it is hard to determine with out pictures. Would you be willing to email images to customercare@lifetime.com? Please also include your model number and product ID of the shed.
Will this video help me assemble the Model 60407 shed I purchased at BJs?
If I was to build a wood foundation, what’s the exact dimension it would need to be?
Rethink a wooden foundation. If I were do it over again - I wouldn't buy this model. It was hard to put together. My biggest problem was the foundation wasn't plumb. Everything was out of alignment, especially the doors. A year later and the doors are not aligned.
@@missmiller7829 got the shed she built it with a wood foundation. Doors are way out and of wack
@@TherikVanen Yup, mine too! I installed mine late last summer and had to duck tape the doors closed all winter. We tried today to get them more aligned and the doors close now, but they'll never be flush like they're suppose to be. Also the metal parts on the top and bottom of the left doors that are suppose to secure them to the foundation suck. They are so hard to move up and down. The shed looks good but I hate it because of the door design is terrible.
If I don't have concrete I only have a backyard can I build it on grass?
You can build it on the grass, but the final product needs to be set on a wooden or cement foundation. Failure to do so will cause future issues with the shed.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly we want this shed but we don't have concrete or a wooden foundation
I put mine on grass and it's not plumb, will never be plumb. Big mistake on my part.
So did he just push the gable back in after the door? This video is like 95% complete.
The door that is on the right side of the building.. can I install on the left side of building?
Having a trouble lining up the doors on the long side, from outside right hand side just sitting higher and hitting the underside of the curved panel. Help please!!!

@@LifetimeProductsAssembly Hi, and thanks for the answer. Yesterday I sent an email but no reply today. I will give them a couple of days more to respond, could have been busy. I am UK customer,so I can't really call, it's gonna cost me another shed. Already paid over 3,5k USD for this. bought the shed from Costco UK. The shedis built, all good, but the door is high and doesn't close, using concrete base.all lines are perfect, just can't see what the problem is. Doesn't work with shims,nowhere near...
Reach out to us at youtube@lifetime.com and we will put you in touch with a customer service representative.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly thanks you, will do.
P.s.no answer on Messenger either...
Is there a behind the scenes video of John cussing and throwing stuff?
Can I call customer service and request someone come out and install my shed?
I got 2 left bushing locations instead of a right hole bushing. Wayfair delivered my shed to the wrong house. 3 weeks later still waiting for the right door bushing.
Oh no! Did you place the order for the bushing through our customer service team? If so email us your order number to CZcams@lifetime.com and we’ll look into the status of your order.
This tripped me up, too. One door pivot bushing goes into a perfectly round hole, but the other door pivot bushing goes into a hole that is incorporated into a slot in the floor (not a separate hole all by itself). This video shows this.
What are the dimensions of the three boxes and will it fit in the back of a standard pickup truck?
BOX 1 (95.31" x 32" x 14")
BOX 2 (95.31" x 32" x 10.63")
BOX 3 (95.31" x 32" x 8.88")
Would it be possible to buy two of these and join them both in the middle so the two side doors act as enterance to other one
We do not recommend you to do that. Putting two sheds together can hurt the stability of the shed itself, things may not line up properly and it's very likely that the shed would collapse.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly damn I'm in need of 10m wide shed would have been ideal haha. What about if I fully build these and puthem close together as possible but have one without fitting the side door or would that effect the structure of the shed without the door
@@jchwdjust build what you need out of wood. It’s easier, more flexible, and probably cheaper too.
Seriously, the print instructions were trash. I'm literally able to get more information from Ikea or even Lego, than this thing. This video helps a lot
Hello can this shed be installed on crushed rock?? TY
We only recommend building on a flat cement slab or purifying wood foundation.
Warning do not attempt this on your own and make sure your helper rolls on command other wise one of you will be unalived
you and your drill need to make action movies~
Snow bends my shed , can I buy few parts only ?
You can purchase a snow load it on our website to help with amount of snow on your shed. Here's the link: www.lifetime.com/search?q=snow+load+kit
How heavy does this thing weigh
Okay, so our estimated weight of an 15' x 8' shed is roughly 588 lbs. This could be less or more depending on the accessories that come with the shed.
How many Panels of the roof is
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly isn’t like 10 and the front is with different panels off roof 6 on back 4 on front and middle is different panels
The Wife are put this together, without watching each step over an over again this could not have happened.
Half of the wall panels have different texture on the interior, and the holes are off by 1/4 inc.
I would not purchase this shed in the future and if I could get a refund I would.
How long does it take to build this storage?
Depends on the person. Most reviews say it took them a couple of days.
20 hours. Maybe less if you are working in the shade and have more than 2 people at all times.
ten years later........
This kit was undoubtedly the worst designed out of the others I've seen...
I'm sorry you're having troubles. What was your main issue specifically?
TOTALLY AGREE! I have a 20 year old lifetime 12 x 8 foot shed that has been torn down and put up in 3 different places. The 12 footer even had a tree fall on it and it barely bent it! This shed was a nightmare. Every section of construction was difficult. A year later and the doors still don't line up.
Very helpful since the instructions manual was totally destroyed thanks alot
