Lifetime sheds have a wind speed rating of 70 MPH. An Extreme Weather Kit is available for 8 ft sheds (and a couple of other sizes) with a wind speed rating of up to 118 MPH.
No, Lifetime sheds cannot be painted. One of the biggest advantages of the polyethylene plastic material from which its constructed is that it does not require painting.
The doors can either be on the long or short side of the shed. Please be sure to check the specification drawings on our website as they will show you which door the shed is on. If you need help, please call us directly so we can double check this with you before you make your purchase.
Lifetime sheds come with interlocking polyethylene flooring panels. These flooring panels need to be supported underneath by a smooth, level foundation.
You don't need subflooring for the shed, just the foundation.
No, you cannot attach two sheds together because of the design of the roof.
Lifetime sheds are not designed to be wired for electricity and any alterations to do so will void the warranty.

Door alignment instructions are included in the assembly instructions.
We do not recommend large gravel as a base for lifetime sheds. Concrete or wooden platform are better.

Though anything left in the sun will eventually fade, polyethylene plastic sheds have inhibitors to help prevent fading and maintain polymer integrity, ensuring years of color.
If using a concrete foundation, drill holes of the appropriate size for your anchors after assembling the storage shed. A hammer drill or concrete drill bit, which can be bought or rented at a hardware store, is required.
Lifetime sheds must be built on a flat, level surface, with a concrete or patio-style surface recommended. Other options include a wood platform made of 2x4 boards and plywood, or a wood frame filled with pea gravel.
Lifetime plastic storage sheds have a ten-year warranty from the date of original retail purchase for the original purchaser, covering defects in material or workmanship.

Yes you can but it's not needed. The shed should stay relatively cool with proper vents installed as part of the wall panels.
We do not recommend adding another long shelf to your shed due to the potential risk of the walls caving in, especially during hot summer weather, when additional weight is applied. Our sheds typically come with one 8 ft shelf that can handle a maximum weight of approximately 50 lbs. Exceeding this weight limit could compromise the stability of the shed's walls and roof. Safety is our top priority, so we encourage you to follow the recommended guidelines for shelving to ensure the longevity and integrity of your shed.
