Keter Elite Store 4.6 x 2.7 Foot Resin Outdoor Storage Shed with Easy Lift Hinges, Perfect for Trash Cans, Yard Tools, and Pool Toys, Grey

I wanted to take time to write a review, especially after seeing multiple LOW reviews on this product. I have had a Keter 7x9 storage shed for about 8 years now (purchased in Ohio, then disassembled, moved to Oregon and reassembled), and have been MOST happy with it. The corners ARE showing signs of weakness, but I have reinforced them. SO, I wanted to purchase a shed that "matches" my first one and bought this DESPITE the negative reviews, because I wanted to believe that Keter had not "gone downhill" in quality. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. The carton arrived with sings of "beating" from shipping (due to the weight, I am sure), and some of the packing tape had come loose, but NO damage THROUGH the carton. NOTHING was missing or damaged inside the carton. I had prepared a "slab" with (8) 16"x16" patio stones leveled on gravel, and assembled the shed (Keter Elite Stor) on the pad. From the time I opened the carton, it took me (solo) just under ONE HOUR to install. If you can read pictures (assembly instructions), if you can look carefully to see the zoomed in details and "!" markings, the instructions make perfect sense and will lead you to a successful assembly. After assembly, I crafted a "top shelf" to pay our hammock swings on (top access) out of (2) 1" x 12" boards, which took another 20 minutes. I ALSO have a CORTINA MEGA shed to be delivered today. I will report back once I have that assembled as well. Here's to hoping for another good experience. (As far as weathering and durability, given this is a "baby brother" to my larger 7'x9' shed which is now over 8 years old, I anticipate it holding up fine.)

I'm a bit annoyed by some of the negative reviews. I almost didn't buy this because of them. This shed is a little more difficult to put together than some others in a similar price category, but that's because it's BETTER, MORE STURDY, and HIGHER QUALITY in design. I had a similar vinyl one i kept at the beach and it didn't survive the winter. This one was a little more time-consuming to put together but is so so much better. To be clear, the instructions were PERFECT. Everything was in perfect condition. I think if you have trouble with manual assembly, than there are easier ones on the market, but i found the instructions VERY clear and were exactly correct. The shed took me probably 2 hours to assemble and it is really nice. Don't listen to the negative reviews here. If you are at-all competent in assembly, this shed is a great purchase, especially at the price.

We really like the style of this shed. The parts are substantial enough that it feels like it can hold up to the weather. My only complaint is the areas where the plastic components are reinforced with metal strips. These are pre-drilled for screw bit the screws are not a self tap or thread screw. Same ones used for plastic connection. They do not thread into metal well at all. We had to drill out the holes to larger size to get them to go in properly. Should be a different screw. MInor but frustrating detail.

The thing arrived with two parts broken and one piece missing and the box flaps open — likely the fault of UPS’s gentle handing and Keter’s not sealing the boxes as well as they could with straps for a kit in a huge box weighing how much?!? (Smooth move, Keter.) Didn’t want to return the thing since Amazon wouldn’t exchange it for me and raised the price over $100, and I wasn’t about to pay more for something I already owned just for three pieces! I was able to put it together, and yeah, it’s a cool shedling. Tried to contact Keter to see if they could help out with replacement parts, and they couldn’t even get back to me after more than a month!!! I kept getting Case numbers, but zero response from anyone at Keter, so if customer care and service is important to you, know that this company can’t even spare a moment to tell me to eff off, let alone offer me a way to get the parts replaced or kvetch or whatever, so don’t expect any help, guidance, or advice from a human if you need anything. It looks sturdy and feels sturdy, but I wouldn’t expect it to withstand any substantial force; it feels like it could be easily busted by a good high school or college linebacker at halfspeed, even when all the screws are in, but then again, resin is as resin does. It’s pretty and functional, and the price I originally paid was cool, so I’m not unhappy with my shed, but the company? BOOOOO. And Amazon for their jacking up the price and playing dumb when I asked them for help? BOOOOO. And UPS for leaving my box all banged up with flaps all akimbo? BOOOOOO. If you can keep the thing safe from being subjected to any force greater than a Chevy Aveo or Ford Fiesta or SmartCar from tapping it at idle, it’s not a bad shed-lette.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Because it was a Keter product. I needed to put garbage bins in it and it is large. It fits 2 32 gal bins and has extra space. I am only allowed 32 gal bins in my town. However it took me about 5 hours to put together. Directions could have been better, but I figured it out.

There are a lot of negative reviews on this product, which I read thoroughly prior to purchasing. The majority of the fitment issues are related specifically to the fact that the assembly instructions are not very good at all. All of the negative reviews on "wrong size panels" that I read through are specifically related to the fact that the corner pieces are being installed inside out. I did the same when assembling mine and had the same issues with the fitment. Once I discovered they go the other way it all went together very smoothly. It is what you would expect in terms of quality for the price. It is not as high end as a completely custom outdoor storage, but it is high quality enough to last for quite some time. There are 2 specific reasons that I am giving this a 3 star review vs. a 4 or 5. #1 is that the lid arrived with a crack in the corner, this was not done in shipping as the box was perfectly fine. I understand this happens sometimes and I sent the information to the manufacturer who promptly replied. The reason I took 1 star away is the fact that they told me the lid is out of stock and to "check back in 30-60 days". I should not have to check back with anything, they should follow up with me instead of the other way around and they should do everything in their power to get a replacement lid sooner (even if it means tearing down a new unit). #2 I bought this specifically for storing 2 outdoor trash bins. The photo shows 2 63 gallon bins inside of it, but I have yet to find ANY 63-gallon trash bins even made. They are either a 64 or 65 or go much smaller. I have 2 different 64-gallon bins and neither of them will fit inside this with the doors closed. I am still on the hunt to find 2 trash bins that will actually fit inside this and very disappointed that it does not fit a standard-sized bin (64 gallon is the US standard). Other than those 2 reasons, this is exactly as described and it does look great outdoors. The quality of the product is good, it just needs clearer assembly instructions, better packaging and about 2-3" additional inches to fit proper garbage bins.

We purchased this enclosure to use it for an irrigation well house enclosure and it worked perfectly. The enclosure is well made and should withstand the elements just fine. The bottom could be drilled to slip over the well casing pipe and it can be fastened to a slab easily with anchors. The unit is easy to assemble. My 12 year old son did it mostly on his own except when it came time to install the lid which has gas shocks to hold the lid open when accessing the inside which is great. The panels lock together and the trim is screwed to the panels with self-tapping screws that come with it. The unit comes with extra hardware as well. All in all we are pleased with this enclosure. We could even install an electrical outlet on the interior side panel for convenience. We drilled through the other side for the water main leaving the enclosure. We could install a small heater iniside during the winter to prevent the pipes from freezing if necessary. I would recommend the unit.

Easy to assemble, 10 year old daughter and I completed in 45 minutes. Not sure why people are having problems putting this together? Its Picture Box instructions folks...A,B,C....1,2,3.... LOL This is not a Large size, in our opinion it's a Medium size outdoor storage that's well made and pretty good design to hold up in rain, wind, and weather. It's a little pricey But for long term extra storage it pays for itself. Looks great and with proper, organized storage planning, it holds a large amount of stuff. We used to store all Holiday decor and works Great. Highly recommend.

I purchased this to house two 240L Wheelie Bins, which it does with ease. The only downsides are; 1) if you intend to use the chain lid lifting mechanisms the bins have to be positioned with the handles facing inwards, which is not too difficult with empty bins but more problematic if they are full and heavy. 2) it requires a bit of manoeuvring to get the bins in and out as there is a lip on the base of the box. Made more difficult because you can't access the handles to get leverage (see point 1) Referring to the assembly. This is a very weighty item so be prepared to seek assistance to get the box to the chosen position for assembly and installation. You might also require some assistance with the door and lid hanging, which require careful positioning in order to screw the hinges into the frame. I managed to achieve it on my own but it took some doing and a few curses along the way. This, together with the amount of assembly (and disassembly to correct my mistakes) meant that it took me nearly 3.5 hours to complete the whole job. Overall, the instructions are pretty comprehensive and self explanatory but on occasion they took some scrutinising and re-checking to ensure that I was on the right track. Be prepared though as this is definitely a "flat pack" item. The good news is that everything (other than tools) is in the box, including a few spare screws and brackets to hold shelves, which I didn't require because I'm using it for wheelie bin storage. As to tools, I used a positive drive screwdriver, with flexible extension (needed to access one of the screws on each of the hinges), a large normal screwdriver, which I found useful to lever open the channels slightly to allow the panels to fit more easily, and a mallet to tap them in. The most difficult installation being the flexible upright corner pieces which really took some time and effort to get them into the base. Once completely assembled I was able to slide the box the few feet needed to get it into its final position. The finished item looks really good and robust. Time and the British weather will be the final test. I have awarded it 5 stars for the finished article but I was tempted to deduct 1 star for the challenges I faced with the assembly.

Déception!!! La couleur ne correspond pas à la photo du produit. En fait la couleur est gris très claire. On se questionne à savoir si le produit acheté est neuf ou si en fait c’est un retour…

Sturdy, easy to assemble but takes time. First box was sent back as damaged, second slightly damaged but did not return as I needed to use it immediately. This was the second one I’ve purchased.

Great product. Well packaged, instructions and screws all included. It took two of us to put it together and we did struggle a bit with the instructions. Got this store hoping it would house our lawn mower without dismantling the handle but this was not the case but hey ho that is a small price to pay for such a nice product and it looks nice in the garden too.

I can’t believe how easy this was to put up , it says two people and it may be easier in some stages but I did it on my own. The instructions are second to none and extremely easy to follow. Every piece is numbered for ease as well. They even provide small right angle brackets and screws should you want to put your own shelf in. I can’t recommend this enough it is made from good quality plastic with a nice effect.
