Assembling a Modern Resin Storage Shed

My husband recently bought a new bike which he promptly parked in the garage. In a normal garage that wouldn't be a problem, but because it's our shop, it was a problem! We started looking for a shed that we could put on the back patio to store the bike, as well as other things that are crowding our workspace.

I have a Costco membership so we started our search there. We quickly found a style we liked at an affordable price so we ordered it. It arrived to my house a few weeks later. Although, the driver could not deliver it to the exact final location, he got it close enough! 
 
We think this will be a style shed people will like so there may be interest in seeing the assembly process. The instructions are really good, but there were a few things that could be improved which we share throughout the video.

How to assemble a Costco Suncast resin shed.
It took a few weeks to get this from Costco but it arrived with no damage at all with no missing pieces.
Laying out all the pieces of the Suncast Modernist shed.
Since we were using an existing portion of my patio as the foundation, there was no extra site work other than blowing away leaves! We inventoried all the pieces and staged them in the order they were to be used.
The smaller parts of the Suncast Modernist shed from Costco.
Smaller, multiple parts were staged in plastic cups for safety and ease of us. The parts in the box remained there until we were ready for them.
Almost finished with the Costco Modernist Suncast resin shed assembly.
We spent about five hours in the hot July Florida sun assembling the shed. If we had not been in a time crunch, we would have worked on it over two mornings as the weather was bearable in the morning. But we pushed through and got it done. We need to point out that Ryobi misting fan in the background. That proved invaluable in helping to keep us cool while we worked!
The finished Costco shed.
There's plenty of room for the bike as well as a few other things. The shed fits perfectly on this unused end of the patio.
The interior of the Suncast Modernist Costco shed.
We put the instructions in a plastic bag, added a magnetic clip and attached it to one of the metal supports. That way, if we ever need it, we can easily access it.

Have you found any compatible accessories for this shed like shelves and hooks?
We assembled ours today and I’m glad we weren’t the only ones who didn’t have holes for the bottom of the center side rails and the top of the front header!

The left door has a way to secure it into the top and bottom of the shed from the inside.

Steph you are awesome, thank you for doing this. It is two years later and your video really helped me. I am glad I tried to screw the metal to metal pieces on the floor instead of after it was in place. I still needed WD40 to get them to go in. I also had difficulty getting the last corner panel to snap in and just forced it as far down as I could. Thanks again!

Hello! I’m considering getting this shed but I know we will be moving the the next couple of years and I would like to be able to bring it with us to our new house. I’ve been looking for information about disassembling it. Know what it’s like to put it together, do you think it would be possible to disassemble it to move it?

Yeah, I think you could disassemble it. Just make sure not to strip the screws putting it together, and keep track of all the parts when you take it apart.
