Lifetime Extreme Weather Kit for 8ft Storage Sheds, 60011

I purchased this at the same time I purchased an 8x10 foot shed. I'm glad I did. I think it makes the shed much more robust for high winds and snow load. The kit consists mainly of a bunch of heavy steel bracing which is attached to the shed after the shed is built. The down-side is that it takes quite a while to install all of the bracing. It almost doubled the assembly time for the shed, In addition, a lot of the work is on the roof supports, so there is a bunch of overhead work. This is mostly attaching metal bracing to the roof supports using a lot of self drilling screws. A good drill driver is a must. Your arms will definitely feel it, and those metal shavings from the drilling can be a bother when some get into your skin. Wear eye protection. But the worst part for me was the door bracing. The instructions were obviously for a different model of door than the one on my shed, so the instructions didn't quite work out. I ended up grinding a few of the pieces to get them to fit about where the instructions showed. It was a pretty fiddly process and took quite a long time. In the end, the product adds a lot of strength to the shed, tying the roof supports all the way down to the base, and tying the gables to the roof and walls. The end result is worth the effort if your shed is going to be exposed to high winds and snow.
