It takes some skill and realistic expectations
I would say more properly this is a shed "connection component" kit. All you get are the metal brackets and a rough plan. It's up to you to supply the lumber and skill set to make the project work. That said, you'll need some building experience like sawing wood, measuring and using a screw gun. And screwing the brackets to the wood is the way to go. Trying to nail it will only cause you frustration. Having someone to help is also a good idea. The frame is flimsy because this is not wood joinery used to make furniture. The sheathing plywood is what gives it strength very much like building a house. In fact if you have the basic skills to build a house you can make a shed like this without using the brackets. If you expect it to go together like a plastic shed you buy at the home center you'll be disappointed. You'll need the skill to frame a door and hang it with hinges and a latch of some sort. You'll need to paint it and use some type of roofing material on it. When you're done building this correctly it will turn out very nice.
