Outdoor Living Today Grand Garden Chalet 6×3 with Cedar Siding

Feeling confident

The Backyard Oasis 3 by 6 so far seems to be worth our investment. It does still need to rain-tested, but after completing the build we did both painting and poly and so far things seem like they are prepared to handle the weather. The customer service process was excellent...extremely responsive folks, with lots of helpful interaction to get through the shipping and receiving process. The company was very clear with the instructions, which do require some coordination.....do heed their advice on having more than one person to receive your shipment....the boxes are heavy. As far as the build goes, we were under a time crunch with renovations going on that required us to empty another space of items designed to be stored in the new shed. (Examples of items stored: 4 large plastic bins of Xmas items; power washer, small snow blower, small crate of firewood, gardening items on the shelving provided, garden tools, snow shovels, camping gear, skis/poles/boots, tiki torches - yes, all of these items made it in, and it is not a mess, but orderly inside!). I was unavailable to assist in the build, but my wife and a friend were able to complete the build themselves in one full day of work. The instructions were mostly clear, but it did require a little bit of problem-solving to get certain aspects completed...but nothing too burdensome or beyond the scope of a person with average problem-solving skills, a little bit of handiness, and some basic tools. The shed appears sturdy enough, but definitely do your due diligence and both paint and stain it for durability. It looks very nice when painted. The true test will be weather endurance of course, but like the review title states, I am "feeling confident".
