Aoxun 8 x 4 Triple-Door Metal Bike Shed (2.66 m2)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Aoxun 8x4ft Triple Door Metal Bike Shed sits at number 4 in our guide to metal garden sheds. It is a galvanised steel store with twin front doors plus a side access door, listed at £239.99 with a 4.0 rating from 457 ratings. Aoxun gives it 2.66 square metres of floor area, doors 131 cm wide and 163 cm high, and a two-year manufacturer warranty.
This is one of the few listings in this guide where the advert very nearly agrees with itself, and where the parts that do not agree are worth knowing about. The bullet's body measurement of 224.5 x 118.5 x 185 cm matches the spec table's 1.19D x 2.25W x 1.85H metres, and the stated 2.66 square metres matches 2.245 x 1.185 m. What does not match is the name. An 8x4 shed should be roughly 2.44 x 1.22 m, and this body works out at about 7 ft 4 in by 3 ft 11 in. A bullet's 158 cu ft of storage does not follow from the other figures either: 2.66 square metres at 1.85 m comes to about 4.92 cubic metres, or roughly 174 cu ft. The 457 ratings, meanwhile, are shown as a breakdown that adds up to 100. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Purchased this for storage of a mobility scooter. Good quality and large enough for our use.”
Verified purchase“Very happy with this shed. Delivery was on time and all parts was in the box. It take me around 4 hours to build by myself. Some parts is little bit thin, so just be careful when putting it together.....After finished, it looks really nice and feels more strong than I expected. I use it for my garden tools, lawn mower and few other things. Everything stay dry after rain, so no problems there.... Instructions was mostly easy to follow, but having another person help would make it much faster.”

Questions people ask
Is the Aoxun 8x4ft shed really 8ft by 4ft?
The name says 8x4, but the bullet gives a body of 224.5 x 118.5 cm, which is about 7 ft 4 in by 3 ft 11 in, and the spec table lists 1.19D x 2.25W x 1.85H metres. An 8x4 footprint would be about 2.44 x 1.22 m.
How much floor area and storage volume does the Aoxun listing claim?
The spec table states 2.66 square metres, and that figure does match the bullet's 224.5 x 118.5 cm body. The volume figure is the odd one: the bullet says 158 cu ft, while 2.66 square metres at the listed 1.85 m height comes to about 4.92 cubic metres, or roughly 174 cu ft.

Door width is listed as 131 cm and door height as 163 cm, in a three-door design with twin front doors and a side entrance door. The doors are lockable but take your own padlock, which is not included.

The listing describes illustrated step-by-step instructions with clearly numbered parts, worked through in order with a helper, and states that no special tools or experience are needed.

Aoxun describes galvanised steel panels with rust-resistant powder coating and a waterproof rating, plus a sloped roof designed to drain rainwater quickly. The shed is covered by a two-year manufacturer warranty.
