Lifetime Shed Snow Load Kit, 8 ft.

Second winter and roof buckled with 2 feet of snow on it

I think it is worth buying in this part of the country as we get a lot of snow. easy to install glad I bought it

We live in an area that can get a foot of snow or more in a storm, so we chose to add this kit. It seems very sturdy and has worked with a 5-inch snow load so far.

I like the shed and it has a lot of great features. I did not get to use it however for four months, which is why the review is here for both, (since the review for the shed timed out). It appears that since I have a back injury and needed a contractor to set pavers for the foundation and assemble the shed; it was extremely difficult to to find a contractor to complete the job. The third one finally did so, but not without complaining about the problems inherent to the huge instruction manual and the inability to properly identify hardware from the manual and pictures included. Also, I did not like the experience with the Snow Load Kit. If it is determined it is needed for the weight of the snow, then it should have been included especially in snowy upper states. The fact that it is an identified need, should also have required the mounting holes should have come pre-drilled for the mounting screws. The only other major concern is the doors seem to be hard to move already around the pivot points, and the floor and shed are completely level. Hope this does not become an issue soon.
