The shed was as expected and properly delivered. It was disappointing that the timber items were not pre-drilled or even marked and I needed to use a saw to reduce some timbers to the right size. Th... See more

The order process is a very promising start

Here’s my email to the company:
“I just want to pass on a thank you to Abbie for all her help and cheerful patience on Friday when I rang with lots of questions before I placed my order. Abbie is a real asset to your team. She also saved me from ordering the wrong type of cladding!
Shed arrives Thursday and then it’s patiently waiting for the installation.”

Awful company

Awful company. Supplied a shed that has warped to the point it is unusable in under 3 years. My last shed was still going strong 15years later when I moved house (bought from a different company obviously!) Avoid avoid avoid. Better to spend a little more and get a shed that’s usable for more than 3 years. Will never shop with them again and I advise anyone reading this to shop elsewhere! Cheap crap!

Shed is of very poor quality

Shed is of very poor quality, absolutely rubbish. So many parts damaged or very ill fitting. Because of all the badly fitting panels it makes it difficult to put together.
One of the worst purchases I've ever made. Don't waste your money! I did!

Shocking

Shocking, poor quality wood with daylight showing through the panels. Floor so weak I feel like I'm falling through it and reluctant to store anything in it as I'm afraid it will fall through. Panels do not line up, nails poking out. I'm waiting for customer service to agree to collect and refund me so I can purchase a quality shed

Shocking just shocking !!!!

Shocking just shocking !!!!
cheap shed with holes in pannels, out of alinement , cheap roofing felt, after my husband paid £1500. for the 15x10 shed we were looking forward to a GOOD quality well made shed. But received a cheap , low grade shed, with knots in wood, holes, poor fitting panels , nails missing or not through timber ( end of day job ) shiplap not even reaching the next panel so we have day light and weather coming in .We feel utterly let down by this company ! My husband has emailed them about it... How they can charge £1500 for poor quality i really dont know. £900 would still of been to much, our Neighbours are shocked to !!!
If they had issues with manufactures why send out this Poor quality shed.

Warped boards

Delivery was excellent. Quality of the shed not so good. Quite a few of the nails weren't fully in and after a couple of weeks some of the boards have badly warped leaving large gaps in the sides meaning shed is not fully weather proof

Good Morning,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're pleased to hear that your delivery experience was a positive one, but we're sorry to learn of your concerns regarding the shed.

As we haven't previously been contacted about these issues, we'd really appreciate the opportunity to investigate them. Timber is a natural material and some movement can occur as it acclimatises, however we'd like to review the areas you've mentioned. Please contact our Customer Service team with your order number and photographs, and we'll assess the concerns with the manufacturer and work towards an appropriate resolution.

We look forward to hearing from you.
