While the specifics of the assembly process can vary slightly depending on the exact model,  Lifetime sheds comes with easy to understand instructions. I will provide a general guide on how to assemble a 8 x 10ft Lifetime Shed

Here are the general steps you would follow:

Prepare the area

First, you'll need to choose a level spot to place your shed. The surface should be firm and even. You might use a ideally a concrete slab or wood platform, but if you have none gravel be fine.

Read through the instructions manual to understand the process, tools required, and the parts involved. Take your time don't rush thing, it shouldn't be hard instructions are very straight forward. 

Assemble the trusses

Follow the next steps in instruction to put together the roof trusses. You'll typically need to attach support braces to them.

Assemble the walls

Begin with the back wall and the doors. Attach these to the floor according to the instructions. Then proceed to assemble the side walls. Make sure all the panels click into place and are securely attached.

Install the trusses

Once the walls are up, you can install the trusses. They will usually slot into specific points on the walls. Make sure they are correctly aligned and secure.

Attach the roof

You can then proceed to attach the roof panels to the trusses. Always start from the lower edge of the roof and work your way upwards. Make sure each panel interlocks correctly with the one below it.

Secure the roof

When all the panels are in place, you'll need to secure the roof. This usually involves inserting screws into designated points on the roof and tightening them.

Install the doors

Now it's time to install the doors. These should be hung according to the instructions provided, and ensure they are correctly aligned and open and close smoothly.

Lastly, attach any trim pieces and accessories such as corner shelves or tool hangers, as per your shed's design.
