2x4basics Hopkins 90192 Shed Kit, Peak Style Roof

Excellent product. I wasn't sure about buying it after reading a couple of negative reviews elsewhere but opted to take the plunge. I bought two of these kits to create a 14x8 foot shed.It took me a while to buy all the wood needed. I went over the instruction booklet quite a lot and found it easier to use a bright highlighter to isolate the instructions just for my size shed (there are instructions on the one booklet to create three shed sizes).I spent an afternoon measuring and cutting down all the wood to the cutting list at the front of the manual and labelled the wood with a thick marker.I found the design easy to adapt. The door goes on one end according to the plans but I wanted the door in one corner on the longest edge. Plenty of measuring and double checking there.It took me about two full days to put the frame together and to clad most of it with OSB board.I am due to felt it shortly. Very pleased with how solid and easily it went together. I would recommend two people perhaps but managed it on my own with the exception of the three long roof joists which fitted into the brackets.Feather board to finish off the shed. 👍

don't buy really waste o0f money poor quality and won't fit

These metal roof brackets were just the job when my husband built our green house. He knew what he was going to do to build from scratch without a planned kit. A lucky find.

I used this for building an L-shaped childrens playhouse, adapting the instructions. It generally works well and makes construction easier than having to make mitred joints. However, the plates for joining the roof and uprights are not exactly mirror-image symmetrical, so I suggest fixing the plates only on one side of each upright and truss, then placing the roof apex and eaves timbers, and only then adding the plates on the reverse side of each joint. If you follow the written instructions and place all the plates before assembly, the apex and eaves will not align. Also, be aware that the plates have very sharp edges. Handle only with gloves, or be prepared to file down the edges to make them safe.

I waited a week for the rest of the order to arrive but then only realised when I read the description that this was only the metal joints and not a complete shed. Very disappointed and so will return the item. I didn’t even open the box.

Excellent for the DIY enthusiast..makes a potentially problematic job easy

Seem ok, bit over priced, but will do the job.
