The Suncast Alpine BMS8000 was a 7.5 x 10.5 ft resin shed with 497 cubic feet of storage, 14 windows, double doors on the narrow end and a floor reinforced for tractor wheels. Suncast no longer sells it, and its Amazon listing shows it as unavailable, with 3.8 out of 5 stars from 60 ratings. If you want a Suncast shed of the same size today, look at the Vista 7×10, which has the closest footprint, or the Tremont 8×10, which holds more and has far more owner ratings.
How we reviewed it: this review is based on Suncast’s archived Alpine product page and dimension drawing, the Alpine’s Amazon listing and its owner feedback, and Suncast’s current product pages, manual and warranty for the Vista 7×10 and Tremont 8×10, checked in October 2026. More on our process.
The Short Answer
You cannot buy the Alpine new any more. Of Suncast’s current sheds, the Vista 7×10 (BMS8005) is the nearest match: 2 inches narrower, about 7 inches shorter front to back, and 467 cubic feet against the Alpine’s 497. The Tremont 8×10 (BMS8100) is a little wider and holds 547 cubic feet, and it has 4.3 out of 5 stars from more than 1,100 Amazon ratings. Both have a 10-year limited warranty, and both need a concrete slab or wood platform and anchors, which you supply.

What the Alpine Was
| Model | BMS8000 |
| Exterior | 7 ft 6 in wide x 10 ft 8.25 in deep x 8 ft 6.75 in high |
| Interior | 6 ft 9.25 in wide x 10 ft 3.25 in deep x 8 ft 3.5 in high |
| Door opening | 60 in wide x 71.25 in high, double doors on the narrow end |
| Capacity | 497 cubic feet |
| Walls | 1.5 in thick double-wall resin |
| Roof | Shingle-style panels on metal trusses and a metal ridge beam |
| Floor | Included, reinforced in the tractor-wheel areas |
| Light and air | 14 windows, a functional gable vent |
| Doors | Metal hardware, padlock hasp (lock not included) |
| Colors | Sand walls, chocolate doors, slate roof |
| Accessories | Shelf kit BMSA1S, loft shelf BMSA2L, organizer kit BMSA3B (sold separately) |
The doors are on the 7.5 ft end, so the shed runs about 10.7 ft back from the door. The floor reinforcement in the tractor-wheel areas shows Suncast expected a riding mower or garden tractor to be driven in through the doors, with tools along the side walls.
What Owners Said
The Amazon listing shows 3.8 out of 5 stars from 60 ratings: 49% five star and 12% one star. That is a small sample for a shed sold for years, so treat it as a rough guide. Amazon groups the comments by topic:
| Topic | Overall | Mentions |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Positive | 31 |
| Appearance | Positive | 18 |
| Value for money | Positive | 6 |
| Assembly | Mixed | 20 |
| Durability | Mixed | 12 |
| Instructions | Mixed | 6 |
| Lighting | Negative | 5 |
Amazon’s summary says owners found it well made, good looking and good value. Assembly split them: some found the instructions easy to follow, others had trouble. Durability split them too, with some calling it sturdy and others saying it was not strong enough. The lighting complaint is specific: the windows are tinted, so the inside is darker than 14 windows suggest.

Vista 7×10: the closest fit
If you are replacing an Alpine on an existing slab or platform, the Vista 7×10 is the one to measure first. It is slightly smaller in every direction, so it will sit on a concrete slab poured for the Alpine, though the anchor holes will not line up with the old ones. An old wood platform is less likely to work: the Vista manual gives a critical joist spacing so the lag screws hit wood, so check yours against that drawing. Its door opening is taller, at 76 inches. Suncast says it suits riding lawn mowers as well as bikes and garden tools.
The walls are metal-reinforced multi-wall resin, the roof panels are metal-reinforced, and the doors have metal hinges, pad-lockable metal handles and upper and lower metal latches. The floor is reinforced resin. The main loss against the Alpine is daylight: Suncast’s listing mentions only the door windows. Its shelf kit, BMSASHELFK1, fits the back wall only. When we checked, we could not find the Vista 7×10 on Amazon; Home Depot lists it with 4.3 stars from 1,240 ratings.
Tremont 8×10: more room
The Tremont is 10.5 inches wider than the Alpine outside but about 6 inches shorter front to back, and it holds 50 cubic feet more. Six skylights and two door windows light the inside, and it comes with two adjustable corner shelves. It weighs 384 lb. We cover it in our Suncast Tremont review, including the 8×4 and 8×7 versions.

Foundation, Anchors and Warranty
Suncast’s current Vista 7×10 manual says a level, sturdy foundation is required before you start, and that the warranty requires it. The two approved options:
- Concrete slab: at least 4 inches thick, with reinforcing bar recommended. If the slab is bigger than the shed, the shed must sit on a continuous, level part of it.
- Wood platform: exterior-grade wood on deck footing blocks or a full footing, built to the spacing drawing in the manual.
Patio blocks and pavers are not acceptable, and the manual says using them voids the warranty. After assembly you anchor the floor through marked flat spots: 12 masonry anchors (3/8 inch, with 1 inch washers) into concrete, or 12 lag screws (1/4 to 3/8 inch by 3 inches, with 1 inch washers) into wood. None of that hardware is in the box.
Suncast gives its blow-molded sheds, model numbers starting BMS, a 10-year limited warranty from the delivery date for the original buyer. Register within 90 days with a copy of the receipt (not required in California and Connecticut), and buy from Suncast or an authorized seller. The warranty is voided if you do not follow the manual, including the foundation. In a Lowe’s review of a Suncast Vista 7×4, an owner said Suncast refused a claim for cracked panels because the shed sat on a flat tile surface; we cover that on our Suncast Cascade and Vista 7×4 page. Keep photos of your slab or platform with the receipt.
Assembly
Finish the foundation before you open the boxes. The Vista 7×10 ships in a carton about 4 x 4 ft and 7.4 ft tall, so plan where it will be unloaded. The kit uses Easy Bolts and includes the driver for them; the manual says not to tighten them with a torque wrench or hand drill. If you use a power drill for other steps, Suncast recommends a variable-speed cordless drill with the clutch on its lowest setting, because too much torque can damage the parts. Some parts use self-tapping screws with no pilot holes. The manual calls for at least two people to set the roof panels.
If You Already Own an Alpine
Suncast’s old Alpine parts page now redirects to its homepage. Its customer care section still has an Order Parts link, so contact Suncast with the model number, BMS8000, and the part you need. Whether the 10-year warranty still applies depends on when the shed was delivered and whether it was registered.
An earlier version of this page listed a 550 lb shed weight we could not confirm, and said the Alpine could hold a small car. A 60 inch door will not take a car, and we have removed both claims.
Final Word
The Alpine was a roomy, well-lit Suncast shed, but it is gone. For the same footprint, measure for the Vista 7×10; for more space, more daylight and more owner feedback, the Tremont 8×10 is the stronger pick. Either way, build a 4 inch slab or the manual’s wood platform, anchor the floor, and register the shed within 90 days.
