8 reviews for Charles Bentley 4.7ft x 3ft Metal Storage Shed Chest Small Green Roof Door Apex
Rated 5 out of 5

Need at least three people to build and the weather must be perfect as very flimsy during construction but once erected very sturdy. A good solid base is a must concrete only problem all items stored must be free standing as no support on walls for leaning or hanging objects against or off

Not the easiest shed to build due to thickness of sheet material but once assembled it is quite sturdy.

This little shed is perfect for our small garden. It took approx 4 hours to assemble, and I needed a second pair of hands just to help position the sides otherwise I did it on my own. Beware of the sharp edges and recommend wearing gloves during assembly. I have managed to fit two adult bicycles in it upright. My only minor criticism is the Charles Bentley badge above the door is not stuck on central and looks a bit odd – lack of attention to detail in the factory perhaps! Otherwise, I would recommend this product.

Delivered ahead of estimated date, definitely requires two to assemble, the assembly drawings are too small for clarity and can be very confusing. A prepared base is essential as, until it’s bolted down,it has the rigidity of wet cardboard. However, I’m very happy with the result, it looks better than the Amazon photo, the door is sturdy and the latch is adequate to keep it closed but forget about security. A brief but heavy storm had no effect on the interior which is all I hoped for.

It’s not unambiguously clear what to do at a few places in the instructions, so be prepared to undo some screws, swap stuff around and try again. I put this up on a windy day and needed at least another adult and a half early on – it’s terrifyingly wobbly until the roof goes on! Now that I’ve fixed it down to its concrete base, it’s sturdy and looks a treat! I was worried about fixing it down, as it’s up against a block wall – but fixing the base down is done from the inside.
I also had several buckled pieces and bent corners and edges (happens in transit?) which is annoying – especially as they’re visible now the shed is up – but the damage wasn’t bad enough to stop it being a very nice little shed at a good price.
The disposable screwdriver lasted about 3/4 of the way through assembly. I switched to my own electric screwdriver which needs using with extreme care: it’s very easy to strip the self-tapped holes in the thin metal sheets.

This is a real Tardis inside with plenty of space. It is very well constructed and blends into the garden nicely. Very good value for the quality that you get. One person construction O.K. Make sure the base is good and flat.

Not the easiest of sheds to build. Took my partner and I just over 6 hrs to build. Instructions not the clearest. Very fiddle . Metal very thin with very sharp edges ,recommend gloves . Weather conditions have to be just right (no wind) . That being said end product looks great .

thin metal that bends easy. came with some dents in panels. screws and bolts to fiddly.. little tacky to put together, but not bad for the money. would not pay any more than what i did. had to strengthen the walls so that it didn`t bend in the wind.
