Hello
I bought this elsewhere and have installed it on a stable platform on concrete blocks. It is large enough for lawnmower and quite a bit of storage. I felt the roof was fairly well constructed.. it does have a complete poly floor. The doors are somewhat flimsy and hard to close completely but I think they are as good as it comes with these outside little poly buildings.

I am fairly handy with tools and it took me and wife 1 day to assemble..

be real careful with using a power driver on the screws as they are real easy to strip and follow the directions exactly when putting the door on the front of the building. The door directions are a little bit confusing especially the channel.

I like the style better than other manufacturers. Being all poly i hope to avoid deterioration over time which is why i chose this over constructing one of wood. There are extensions that are available to enlarge the building they seem to be fairly expensive..about $300 bucks [...]

Before u buy check out some poly buildings at your local big box store to see if u can assemble. it may be a little more challenging than some people expect.

Overall i would recommend this building.

Bought this a week ago, and just spent 5 hours yesterday with my cousin - who builds houses for a living - putting it together. I'm lucky enough to have every specialty tool known to man, and a good line of cordless power tools, including 1 drill, and 1 driver, so that made putting it together substantially easier. I would recommend using a drill to do the screws, and a electric driver with a 3/8 socket to put the nuts on (careful not to over-tighten). You should also have one of those 90 degree angle Phillips screw driver to hold the head of the bolt, while you use the driver on the nut.
The directions glaze over a few important details, in particular, which holes to use when connecting the two ends of the trusses together. If you guess wrong, you will get the roof on, and then notice the final cap pieces don't meet flush, and you will have to tare it all down, rebuild the trusses, and install the roof again. With 2 men, it is bare-able to get all this together and deal with the curve balls as they come. There is a video from the manufacturer on youtube which goes over how to build a very similar shed. Watching that will really help, and will allow you to not need the 70 pages of assembly instructions as much (although you really really need to pay attention to those as well).
All and all, the end result is a nice looking, sturdy shed. I would suggest using caulking to seal up some of the seems to keep out bugs. I installed mine on top of an existing concrete slab, and used industrial caulking adhesive to glue the shed down. If you don't have a perfectly flat surface to mount this on, save yourself the heart ache and don't even think about trying this. The pieces really need to line up perfect in order to assemble right. I would also discourage anyone from trying to build this with their spouse, unless they want to end their day with a divorce.
