Very useful and saved me a great deal of time in getting the doors aligned. This information should be provided in the instruction guide and in the primary video coving assembly of the shed.

[marvinaviles]

Thanks, I followed these exact steps and got my shed doors aligned

[tracyranes]

The right door on my shed is also high and doesn't close like many others. Would not have bought if I knew this defect existed

[petewheatstraw]

I bought the 8x15 shed. The gable assembly above the doors was poorly constructed at the manufacturer. I have no intention of leaving any wood under this shed to level these doors. I made Avery level paver pad under the shed floor only to find a poorly made door frame area. I paid a lot of money for this shed.

My doors seem to overlap just a slight bit, a couple centimeters, who do I get a hold of to fix that?
I also have a video of it if you like

Does the big shim under the back corner compromise the integrity of the floor?

[Pastaben]

1. Is there a difference between adding a shim to the rear corner of the shed, as opposed to raising the entire wooden foundation from the rear corner and shimming it under the foundation?
2. If I only shim the corner of the shed, but not the foundation, wouldn't the plastic floor of the shed be lifted off the actual platform of wooden foundation?

I have the 8x12.5ft version of this shed. Like a lot of people, my right door is too high. Shim under left door hinge is not enough, so I put a piece of wood under the right/back corner of the shed. It fix the door aligment problem, but the floor on the right/back side is not flat anymore. I can't think of putting anything like a snowblower/mower on this soft floor without support, so the usable space is now 6x10ft. I don't even want to walk on this corner of the floor in fear of cracking the plastic floor. Everything else is nice, but this is a real bummer.

What is considered “ a big gap”. How tall of a block of wood?

[marywakefield]

What is recommended method secure shed down in a windy area

[rahulp]

What if the right door it too high? My is a about 1/4 too high which hits the top and won't close unless I push really hard .. any idea?

[michellepartin]

My right door huts at the top and i have to really work to get it closed. I won't be putting shims under the corner (beside the fact the i dont think i could even if I tried) i can't imagine that doesnt compromise the floor having it raised up even a fraction of an inch.
I plan on attacking either the metal edge plate at the top of the door or the actual arch where the door is hitting. So annoying

[jaspalsingh]

Would these not rot, due to the elements?

[mcplar]

Do you leave the piece of wood under that rear corner? I would hope not.

[phengchan]

Where can I order this 8x10 shed? Thanks
