We received our purchase in good time and gave ourselves two half days to put up the shed. The directions are pictures, with very few words, so there were times that the directions weren't very clear; but we got through them. You definitely need at least 2 people to put this up; not sure how one person would do it. We are very happy with the space inside and the looks on the outside. Our neighbors have come by to check it out and say they may get one of these as well.
