Very Poor Quality Throughout.
Bought an Apex Garden Shed. 8'* 6'. After spending the time and money to establish a perfectly level base for the shed to be founded upon, First, Forest Garden sent the wrong base out, which was personal labour hours wasted. They did however replace the base with the 'correct' pieces, kind of. Some of the replacement base bits were NOT rot proofed, and many of them were slightly misshapen or missized. This turned out to be a feature of all the panels and pieces, ranging between a few mm, to sometimes into the cm's of missized panels apparently intended to fit together, whilst the instruction manual continually trolls the builder advising to make sure all parts are flush and even.
I would have just taken it on the chin, after all, it is just a rickety garden shed, until I came to using the screws provided to fit all the beams together, which tended to melt away like putty in the face of the Impact Driver required to fit them in. In the end, I got my own 30mm screws, replacing the supplied ones, where they could even be replaced. But if they are going to scrimp on the screws, then they are going to scrimp on everything.....including the rain proof materials which tears and breaks at the slightest little fold it has to sustain whilst being moved into position.
Now that the shed is constructed, it is good for nothing more than keeping the weather of garden tools. Wouldn't store any valuable power tools in it though. I could confidently say that I could kick my way into this shed with a couple of sturdy thumps with my boot.
I could have got better quality at B&Q, for less money.
