Real Life Review Arrow 10 x 14 Assembly 

Jack Black gives a really good shed review

Man this guy has so much patience. This helped so much. I TOTALLY underestimated this build, so thank you for making this video

Thanks for the post! I'm pretty handy, licensed plumbing contractor. I'm 50 y/o. Was thinking of purchasing and building this shed. So glad I watched your video! Looks like a good long weekend sun up to sundown build. Heck of alot of up and down ground and ladder. 2000 + parts. No thank you. Think I'll spend the money on a pre-built delivered woodframe with double sided enamel aluminum siding 60mph wind rating for 3x the money. We get what we pay for. Great build and video sir👍. Thank you for saving me from this hassle!!!!

My daughters and I just done this shed together took us 2 6 hr days and 2 afternoons I commend that guy for doing it alone

I needed more talk about the roof assembly. Someone lost my instructions. Thanks for the longer screw help.

Thanks for following the assembly with me. I'm not the best video editor in the world, but hopefully decent enough for you to get the overview. If you have any questions about anything I may not have covered, send them my way.

Thanks, Your insight was very important in helping me estimate time/work required in order to quote doing an installation for someone else. I appreciate your time tracking.

This video has been extremely helpful in shed construction, my hubby and I are on day 2 of building an arrow 14x14 and I can say if I didn't watch your video a couple of times we definitely would have struggled a bit more! Thanks ❤❤😊

Thank you for the demonstration you did a great job. You were a great help. Again Thank you.

Ok I am helping a friend put one of these things up and we had problems with how the instructions dictated info and also decided not to follow their writings. Many thanks for your help bud and will be re-watching the vid again as we go. Ad far as I am concerned, I would not recommend this building to people and I would never purchase one of these units myself. But good luck to all who attempt this build and do finish it. Thanks again !

Thank you for the video. I've already built a couple of these, and ran into the same problem with the insufficient screw length on the roof section. I watched your video as a refresher because I'll be putting another one together shortly. Prep work is key. By methodically sorting out the components and separating the nylon washers you made the build a lot less frustrating and saved tons of time. You're not alone by installing the roof trusses incorrectly, I did the same thing. Thanks for the laugh, but I have to be honest, I can think of a thousand other things I'd rather be doing.

This video helped me a lot more than any other. I bought the bigger screws from the beginning but I didn't need them. I was able to finish all of it with provided hardware. Some of the instructions are confusing but was able to figure things out. Also would love to see your videos on reinforcing the bottom and shelving. Thanks a lot though.

Thank you I have two buildings just like that I'm very happy to see the bills you have answered many of my questions

Thank you - Getting started immediately - keep the videos coming

very helpful video, I didnt find it until I started installation. We both used ladders at the corners. I am now going to purchase longer sheet metal screws as we are putting on the roof tomorrow.👍

We just put this building together, wish we'd seen your video first. Biggest trouble was putting center ridge cap....didn't think about adding this as you are panels. Oh booger! Thank you for doing this!

Video was to the point, with a complete video in fast speed is great for a visual and layman's term explanations short and sweet. 5 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

I found this very Helpful Purchased a week ago Friady-Oct 4-2019 Completed build Oct10-2019 Collapsed Oct 11-2019 from snow load Suggestion"Not for climates that get Snow! Save $1000-spend extra with real Roof Support! Al from Manitoba

I bought this 10ft.x14ft. Arrow shed in Sept. of 2021 an started putting it together in November of same year.The sales model at Lowes was from 2020 on back an was slightly a little different in appearance but same size and color.I used the hardware included an it came out pretty good.#1 thing to do is have a fairly level base to build on,#2 is lay out your parts #3 is have patience!!! especially if you haven’t done anything like this in a long time.I am 68yrs old an built the kit by myself cause that’s how I always have done things.I did run into some problems like putting the wall panels flipped incorrectly an getting frustrated.The hardware included in the kit will work properly, I didn’t need anything else except some better quality foil tape for ridge top seams.Some of the tools I used were needle nose vice grips, pointed nail punch,small size socket with ratchet an ratchet bar, Phillips screw driver, pistol grip clamps.

Thank you, well done. I’m about 2 months out from getting and assembly of this same unit.

Thank you from Canada Niagara Falls. Just bought one!🙂. Great video ☆♡☆

I just built the 10 x 7 2 weeks back. Had to do a crazy amount of winging it on the roof, but all in all, happy with the results...

I am repairing my great grandfathers old metal shed, and this is the closet model shed I could find today. And I utterly frustrated about the lack of information I am finding over sheds in general, and the small amount of references of information I can find. So thank you for being one of the few references I can use to help guesstimate on what to do.

Looking to purchase a building and found your video… extremely helpful! Thank you & please do more!

Thanks for the video and thank you for the insights. Bought this shed last week and started building a wood flooring for it. Going up this this week

Thank goodness I found your videos! Just got the same shed (10x14) and now know what I’ll need and who’s help I’ll need!

Very good video, I'm glad I watched it before I try to assemble my shed

About to start a 8X10 that has been built prior. All my wall panels are built ..Just have to set the floor and put the 4 panels together. Thanks for the video.

Awesome video. Thank you for giving me the confidence to do it my self.

And for the walls being flimsy and the roof I put plywood against the walls and the I put 2x4s in with insulation on floor walls and ceiling like a house

Just purchased this shed for $189.00 on sale from Lowe’s. Can’t wait to put it together. I feel more confident after watching your video. Thanks for Posting

That’s an awesome tutorial thank you so much. We just bought one and we’re going to start putting it together this weekend..

I like it, good presentation. I just might buy it.

I will buy one now because of your video.

Thanks for the video. I just bought this same shed so it’s gonna help to know what to expect

Built this exact model last week. Went pretty smooth . Did everything by myself except the roof. Will definitely need someone on the inside to hold nuts with small set of needle nose pliers. Definitely do not attempt if windy. I was lucky weather was nice. One of the most important tips I can offer is to be sure floor is level & perfectly square, if not none of the predrilled holes will line up. Took me four days, three of the four working alone.

We are putting this shed together today/tomorrow! Thanks for the review of the assembly!

Thank you, really appreciate the help. 🍻🍻🍻🍻

I've put together 5 Arrow sheds & one just like you did today although I think the Arrow 10x14 Oakbrook Steel Storage Shed Kit (OB1014) is maybe the best one to put up, everything is just the same except the roof that is a lot easier, yet it is still plenty tall enough for most people, now when it comes to the ridge caps they do take a bit of thinking outside that box, mostly when it comes to putting in the screws that are just out of reach & you CAN'T lean on the roof for supporting. And I got the screws to work fine that came with it for the roof ridge caps so it would have been interesting to see what problems you were having, maybe it's just because you did not have another person to help you on the inside of the shed. I'm getting a foundation set up for another one now, & if I do the one like yours I'm going to do 2 things that are not suggested to do. # 1, I'm only putting the ridge cap on the top leaving off the two that are on each side it. The point of this is that they just tend to hold levees thus water trapped with the leaves making the shed more likely to rust under the ridge caps. Now I will use better aluminum duct tape that I have always done anyways. And # 2, I'm leaving off all the plastic washer that are used to make the screws watertight. Now I've never left them off before so we will see how it goes. OK, I know what your thinking, but I plan on painting the roof right away with some nice thick roof coating type paint. Now I always do that anyways but normally I wait about a year to let the gloss bake off in the sun. I have already taken off the two ridge caps from my mom's shed that is like yours (they sent us the wrong shed, she is only about 5' 2" tall) , & painted it up real nice. We live in Rockport TX. but wherever you live paint it if you want it to last longer. I'm not sure about the snow load you are going to have on your shed, something to think about. The last shed I got the sheet metal screws were to soft & I had a hard time getting them to go in the pilot holes, it made the job a lot harder, I called them afterwards & they said they got a hold of some bad screws & apologized & even sent me some more screws, that I still have in a jar, I should have not let them send them to me, I did not really need them & I'm sorry for that. I sure hope they have the better screw again, for this next shed. I had three during the hurricane the two on concrete got destroyed but the one on a wood foundation just moved a few feet but no harm at all, I just had to move it back. I really think it is a two person job, & because of the wind I get at least a 3ed to help me hold the corner for about an hour. And I think the directions are great, no problems at all, maybe just a little tricky & you have to pay real close attention to them. But I have done a few of them so that helps me to understand the directions. I remember the first on I put up my dad was saying to me "John just drill a whole in it," but I would not do it, I knew it had to be something I was doing wrong, & it was that I just had something backwards. If anything will not fit something is being done wrong don't drill a whole in anything. Well thanks for the upload. OK I'm back I was thinking I never put the trim on the lower part of the roof panels I think they just cause it to rust all the more you know by catching levees & such, now if you are thinking a person might cut there head on the sharp metal that is a good point but as with your shed that is very unlikely. WOW, @ 20:24 I see (now that I'm watching the video the rest of the way through) that at Lowe's, they were wrong putting screws through to the top support the screws are just meant to go through the two roof panels. Taking away a star from the rating you might want rethink about that, now if it deserves 5 stars that is still up for debate, but for what it is & for the money it is fair enough.

You video is awesome no wasting time chit-chatting...

Just bought this shed.... Your advice was a blessing..... PS Two days with a friend and we just got the walls up. Tomorrow is roof day. Oh boy!!!!

Nice video, you did a great job and now I know what I’m i am against. I just bought this shed yesterday as a garage for my motorcycle. Really wanted one with a front and back door so I could drive it in the back and drive out the front, so I have to rethink it. Lots of parts and was anxious to get started this morning but as things go, it’s raining. Grrrrr Thanks again.

Thanks for this video. I've been reading reviews on Arrow sheds, and been kinda scared to buy one. After watching your video I am more confident in building one.

After watching your video it has inspired me to take on the project, i'm just diyer myself and pretty much do everything myself. My wife has been after me to put a shed.. I will definitely be doing the mods to reinforce the roof and side walls to make this shed durable through all seasons! Thanks for taking us along with your journey.. Wish me luck

Very very helpful thank you so much

excellent vids. looking forward to the addtl shed improvements that you mentioned.

Thank you for showing us how to put this thing together. You just proved that it's possible to do it alone! Going on day 3 with 2-3 people putting it together 😳. I personally would've chose something else instead.

Could you do a video of weather proofing the shed. It rained the other day and it poured in my shed. Thank you for the information.

Thanks for the vid. My wife just ordered one of these for our new place. After thanking her profusely I downloaded the instructions and went "what have I gotten myself into?" Now I know. This will be fun. Will definitely have a buddy come by and help once I'm ready to erect this thing.

Thanks for the video, brother! My fiancée bought this for my birthday with her tax refund. However, I think it was more for her because she’s been yelling at me for dragging “junk” home from work. I always tell her that she just doesn’t see the potential in things and “I always use it to make our place look nicer, don’t I?”. :D LOL. But in all seriousness, this video will be of GREAT value!

I just assembled my 3rd arrow shed just like the one you installed. The directions can be tricky, but following them is crucial, including the roof panels. Installing them right side then left side allows the installer to install the cap. I agree, the hardware does suck for the cap. This time, I went and installed pop rivets from harbor freight...it was a one man job from start to stop….

My biggest issues with building this shed was that weater tape kept tearing once installed on roof panels. Also, once assembled the floor frame leaders are bowed and do not seal down to the foundation platform well.

"This video helped me put a shed up..VERY VERY helpful even down to the longer nails..this video helped me make a profit"

Thank you so much.. You did a great job. And not a lot chatter..

Mine is 22 years old still in decent shape

great video-thanks

I just ordered this shed from Lowe’s after watching your video. I know it won’t be cotton candy putting it together but your video inspired me to do it. Thanks for all the tips and I pray I can be as patient as you were!

Love your attitude and demeanor

Great job! Thanks for making the video.

Thanks that was very Educational😇😇😇

Good Job

Just started putting roof on my 10x12 arrow shed. The instructions on mine are not the greatest but coming from construction you kinda say ok I believe it goes like this. It can be frustrating but step away and take a break and then get back to it. Great video!

Good review

I built one of these for my mother years ago, wasn't bad. But this was on concrete, looking to do it again. I was A LOT younger at the time so I'll be sure to put everything up on saw horses.

Great information, looking forward to the follow-up videos

did you do a video on the floor?

I'm looking at buying this and this is a great video! thanks

Very good

Great video

Built the same shed today. I must have been lucky but I built it with the included hardware on all of it. Definitely some questionable directions to say the least. I have been waiting on your next videos on the shed, I want to do more to mine as well. Earned my sub. Thanks for the video.

Thanks!!! Great video…. This helps me alot

Great video!!!! You deserve your own show. My father purchased this shed a few days ago. All the boys (myself, brothers and pops) are outside putting this thing together and the women are cooking up Thanksgiving food and laughing at us. It's fun, to all be together (we all came down from other cities) and put this thing up for my pops.

The bloopers are great lol.

I’m planning to buy one of these shed real soon thanks for the few tips your video was really worth watching

Great video man! You put a lot of time into this, appreciate it.

Building that same shed now and all has gone decent except the roof... I've taken to using self tappers and ignored the holes. Something somewhere got misaligned and I wasn't going to tear the roof off to tweak it. Haha

You've done well by yourself.

I found the perfect video for our project, thank you!

Hey buddy ..Thanks for all your input..although we bought the 8×10..I have watched several videos on how to...And yours being way more informative by far...I appreciate all the input and the awesome ideas of reinforcement..and of course lighting efforts!! But I do agree on some of the hardware they provide being insufficient..So I too went out and purchased longer screws and bolts...and roughly a lb of self tapping 1 inch stainless screws to use just anywhere I had a lil trouble I could easily grab one of these and keep on keeping on...But Thanks!!!!

Well done no nonsense video and helpful 🙏👏

Great review!! Thank you

Thank you for the video. It helps me be patient with my project... It's a project for newly wedd... Don't ask your spouse for help, that may lead to a long weekend..

Thx for this !

Based on my memory of doing this over 10 years ago (a bit fuzzy) and the bits shown near the end of the video I can comment on the roof hardware issue. I believe where he shows both the long and short screws used in the same picture is the best illustration of my comment. Where the roof panel touches the support the short screws go through both the panel and into the support. There is no place where the screws are intended to go through the roof panel where it does not touch and then into the support. If there is a hole at the upper point of the wave it is to hold two pieces together but not the panel to the support under it. Even a careful reading can lead to things you notice after you do them wrong.

Great video thanks from Ohio!

Hey Thanks for this! Really nice video.

I want everyone seeing this video to realize he is doing all of this in a cool environment. If you live in a hot climate like Texas or Florida add some time to total project. I built my Arrow 10x14 in 5 half days Florida spring/summer. It’s sucked but you just have to have the time available. Work smart. If a storm is coming don’t try and install walls obviously. You need a helper if you are a novice. There are parts of this build you will struggle to achieve without someone else regardless of how may ladders you have etc. Just fyi. Also, the supplied screws could all be longer and I did buy longer screws and nut/bolt combo for roof. Should also mention edges are sharp on everything and you probably will get small finger cuts if you are not careful.

Thanks brother. 👍🏋️

Purchasing this 10x14 this week and going to knock out the foundation in the next couple weekends when sports wind down. Definitely interested in follow up videos. #subd!

Good Video! Thanks! Would love to see other videos on reinforcing and shelving!

Thanks for the video! Curiously what did the layout of your platform? I’m about to start building mine in the next day or so! Great video

You’re amazing!!! The process and feedback gives us the opportunity to be completely prepared. I’ve seen you’re modification/ upgrade videos on it and the same applies. My father and I will will be purchasing two of these units for our homes. I was wondering if you can make a video on the reinforcement you used for the door, base and the shelves you made. We wish you well in your upcoming projects.

Thank you

Thanks brother. Hows the shed doing today? Just picked one up today and welp...Here I am.

Yeah im building a little house for myself, checking sheds and such

Great video, definitely getting one this week. Do you have a video on how to build the foundation?

Helpful, made my decision

im finally puttng up my arrow 10x14 after hiring a loser to help me. me and the wife are now doing it and i made the same roof beam mistake by putting the small holes down and assembling the double beam incorrectly. it was an easy fix. we're now putting in the roof panels. when done with the shed build we will add LEDs and start fortifying it with 2x4 like you did.

Do you have a video of how you did your foundation? Our ground is unlevel and may or may not have water around it sometimes. We will be using this to store lumber so your large elevated and extended foundation would be perfect.

Good points through out. Just started mine today. Got pre-assembly done. Wanted to start standing g walls but wind scared me off.
