Lots of space in this shed. Big, open floor space, and 6 foot head room at the bottom or the roof supports. A few things I can suggest to anyone undertaking this particular shed model.

1. The instructions are not arranged in the most logical manner. I suggest you pre-assemble the roof supports (which the instructions have you do after you put up one side of walls) and top frame before you try to put up the walls, as the structure is very shaky until you put in the top frame.
2. Don't try to put it up on a windy day. The panels are just like big sails, and will blow right over in any wind, especially given the way that the instructions have you assemble the first wall.
3. In fact, I would not put up the panels the way the instructions say. What worked for us was to put in the supports, and while those are being physically held, slide the panels in from the top. Work your way down the first wall, and around the first corner. That way, the wall is supported until it can support itself. We had to do the entire side and back, including the center support until the walls would stand by themselves.
4. When putting in the roof panels, secure the two middle center pop rivets first. That way the panel is supported and you can still flex and rotate it some in order to get things to line up.
5. If you get the window kit, decide where you want to put in the window before you begin. The instructions don't give you a stopping point to let you know that it would be appropriate for you to install the window, and unfortunately after you have the roof on its very tough to get the window in.
6. Definitely get yourself organized and sort out all your parts before you start. You don't want to be hunting around for this piece or that in the middle of assembly.
7. Pay very close attention to the instructions in terms of where holes line up, and which end goes where. The instructions don't have a lot of words but do have a lot of diagrams that indicate very specific orientations and assembly order. Don't take anything for granted, or you may have to disassemble and reassemble.

That's about it. All in all, its a great storage shed and I am sure it will last for a very long time. After I had the roof support fully assembled, I was able to hang my 200 lbs. body weight fully on the roof supports. The rest of the structure didn't so much as quiver. Its not going to be airtight, but with a bead of sealant in key locations, it will definitely be a weatherproof structure.
