“We had a pent summerhouse installed by Eezysheds in 2021. The shed leaks on all sides through the log lap and at each window. 5 out of 10 double glazed windows are also blown with water inside the glass. I would strongly advise against installing one of these sheds. Pay the extra money for better quality and avoid the disappointment. Poor poor quality.

“Easyshed is not easy poor quality design, difficult to build, rude sales staff who try to put the blame on the customer and fail to identify the failings in their sheds.
Don’t touch them. Dodgy.”
“Worst company worst shed, difficult to put together, poorly designed. Their responses were rude and evasive. Waste of money and time. Do yourself a favour and don’t buy this rubbish.”
“I got the end opening Garden Shed 3.5m x 1.5m, it arrived on a truck, the packaging was ripped to bits, they were all strapped down really tight.
to get the right width on the panels when assembled the ends had to be bashed in, the sheets are hight tensile so it is very difficult and should not have to be done, this had to be done to each pane, both ends, and the door, Customer Service told me this had to be done, and was a common problem because the sheets are flattened during transportation from over tightening.
My dealings with Customer Service were not good {Ryan} smart alec comments etc.
I definitely would not recommend one of these sheds, i do not know how they are still in business.”
“If you want to break up with your partner this is the shed for you, the arguments that this has caused, “easy”shed my ass, it was the devil reincarnated.”
“I would not recommend this company. Our panels turned up dinted and deeply scratched.
Contacted customer service and their solution was to send a tin of spray paint because it's structurally sound. We did not pay for a dinted and scratched shed. Spray painting panels will result in patchy discolouration from the sun.
Very disappointing as we like to support Australian owned and operated businesses.”
“EasyShed, more like ReallyFreakingDifficult Shed. Our 3.75x1.9m skillion shed promised 4 hours installation. We are now entering our third day of this DIY nightmare 🤬. Nothing about this shed has been easy. Drilling together layers of sheeting is incredibly frustrating as the metal underneath just warps and bends. The instructions recommend using a perfectly sized piece of wood to help, but did they provide said piece of wood? No. We resorted to raiding our son's puzzle set for different sized blocks just to coax the screws into place. Just getting my head around the instructions and checking off all the parts took a good hour or two alone. None of the sheets were labeled, so I had to go through them all and measure them to identify them. Thankfully the channels and joiners were named, but a couple of them were illegible. The doors were really difficult to put together, a lot of force was required, and then they didn’t fit well. Putting together the panels required 1-2 people, but putting the walls and roof together needed 3-4 people at times (unless you conveniently have some long planks of wood lying around). We initially wanted to hire someone to assemble our shed, but found it incredibly frustrating that EasyShed couldn’t put us in touch with an installer in our area, probably because they’re smart enough to avoid this rage-inducing ordeal. Plus I’d hate to think what they would charge for so many hours of work! Our decision to try and save a few bucks by installing ourselves was futile, resulting in arguments, physical pain, swearing and calling in family favours to help out. I would not recommend installing an easy shed to anyone.”
“Bike Shed Model EBS-2308
The name ‘easyshed’ is a misnomer and assembling the shed is about as far from easy as you can get. This has been the most difficult and frustrating item I have ever assembled and it is physically demanding.
Criticisms
Prior to purchase there is no information informing you that all parts are not pre-drilled, you will have to drill all the holes yourself. Parts include 197 screws and 59 pop rivets, which will require you drilling holes through several layers of metal. Physically demanding! If you don’t have a pop rivet gun you will have to buy one.
Tools listed as required included a step ladder, I don’t know why, and failed to list 4-5mm spacers and duct tape. Also essential and not listed is an impact driver for inserting the screws, or another power drill with a torque control, otherwise you will have blisters using a hand screwdriver.
The instructions listed all parts and part numbers, which should have been printed onto each part. Some parts had the number printed clearly, some had an unintelligible number and some had no number.
Front, back, sides and roof panel dimensions should match the corresponding U channels dimensions. They didn’t always resulting in struggling to get parts matched up prior to screwing together.
When fitting the internal door slide bolt the overhang dimension is wrong and then fitting the hasp is physically impossible till later in the assembly.
When assembled the doors sag and there is no way this can be prevented, so the door slide bolt and hasp previously fitted do not line up.
Positioning the roof hinges to the back top rail in the positions indicated in the diagram is not possible as these areas have protruding screw heads.
Assembly time took me into a 3rd day.
I cannot recommend anyone buying this product and if I could give it a zero rating I would.”
“Can't leave no star!
The worst shed I have ever seen. It's so tough to assemble. Instructions were completely vague! No sign, no marks. That is just terrible.”
“The term Easyshed is a misnomer, the opposite is really the case. The instructions are difficult to follow and because I am not a handy person I had someone from Airtasker come to put it all together and he had a lot of difficulty both in following the instructions and putting it all together, he spent many hours working on it before the job was completed, it entailed a lot of wrestling and forcing parts together. The end result was far from perfect despite many hours of hard work and great effort to put it all together, spanning over 3 whole days. I wish I never bought this shed. It was a big mistake which I very much regret.”
“Avoid like the plague
sheets were cut wrong size, its a real pain to try and get it straight. Its a lot of work to put together. A lot of wrestling and forcing parts together. Its a shame. I wish I never bought this shed. I took mine to the Tip I am that unhappy with it. It shouldn't have to be like this.”
“Most flimsy piece of [Content Removed]!! Purchased in October:( Frames bent and would not hold straight to put up. Had to go and buy extra top hat and had to build extra supports to support it. Build directions are awful and that is once we received the shed. Came damaged to start with and that was an effort and a half to fix.”
“I ordered a shed from this company on Saturday. Monday I receive an email stating my shed would be ready in 8 weeks, although the website states sheds are manufactured in 3-5 days and as for shipping allow up to 15 days. Not to tell a customer the 'real' time is unethical. I then tried to cancel my order, less than 24 hours after the order was placed and certainly well before my order was sent to be manufactured. Instead of cancelling my order and providing a refund (which I asked for, 9 times), I am bombarded with emails with different delivery dates, trying to bribe me with free gifts and just down right ignorance when it come to requesting a refund. I even went higher and emailed the CEO but no response. The time they have taken to agree to provide my refund, which they legally must do, is just wrong. They get you to write a great review when you order and then the trouble starts. Do not believe they have these great ratings because those reviews are before the trouble with this company starts.”
“Don't waste your money on Easy Shed.
My son purchased a 3x3 shed 3 months ago and it is still not built! Missing sheets, wrong sheets, poorly fitting sheets the list goes on and on. He now has to go to Fair Trading.
I bought a 3x3 Asbsco shed and it was built in a day by 2 people ..... cheaper & better, IMO.”
“Incorrect delivery information provided - not dispatched or delivered within advertised time frames. Waiting on shed delivery for weeks now, Easyshed don't return phone calls. They say courier is actually 10-14 business days from date of dispatch, which wasn't until 2 weeks until after we actually ordered - so potentially 5 weeks. But who knows when it will actually get here. Super frustrating as we can't progress our landscaping until it arrives - have trades waiting. Do not use these guys, not worth it.”
“It look longer than expected to get the Shed. I still don't have it. I tried to cancel the order and the company wants to change me more than the original cost to cancel/return the order I haven't received.”
“This was a complete nightmare of a purchase and I am regretting it.
It is not easy to put up, extremely difficult.
Arrived without the concrete anchors and staff just told me to look in the box... I already did that... so again too much back and forth email with dismissive customer service support.
Importantly, I got a text from the delivery driver, poaching work from me to assemble the shed... Apparently he is not an employee of Easy Shed. I was quite upset and sent the texts to Easy Shed. They told me a different driver would be delivering my item, but no, that did not happen.
This company has compromised our safety in the situation where a delivery person was pressuring me into hiring him,a nd they were very dismissive about it.
I have no confidence in the company, and looking at the shed and how it is assembled right now, not much in the product. It's costing a lot more than I paid in addition now to sort it all out.
Extremely disappointed.”
“I am totally frustrated with this company… l paid for and ordered a shed on 27 th Oct here l am …30 th Dec after me calling them 4 times after the 2 week mark…and being told that my shed had been picked up but was still sitting at the depot… Dexter assured me that he would look into it and l never heard back …nothing was being done about it. So today l rang again and again after each of my calls.. same answer ‘it’s still in the depot and we don’t know why’… we’ll look into it….. nothing happens, l recieve no phone call… So again l ring each phone line there is no answer other than check out the website for the answers to your query or send an email!!!! I decide the only way to get through to a person was to make believe l was buying a new big shed… perhaps they will pick up for a new big sale!!!!!! Yes that is how it happened and right now l have been on the for 30 mins while l keep pushing them to investigate why my shed is still in the depot.”
“Bird owners- DO NOT BUY!
I recently purchased an easy shed as an aviary to house my 14y/o parrot. Setup was very difficult and materials scratched easily. 2 days later the shed blew over and my parrot escaped. Winds were no more than 30km/h at this time.”
“I am so sorry that I didn't read all of these reviews before I purchased a shed from these guys.
Parts of 3 different sheds turned up 4 weeks after they were meant to and all the communication, I had with easy shed was useless, they were rude and unhelpful.
After 12 months of trying to get it sorted and having no shed, I ended up taking all the odd pieces I was sent to the dump and went to bunnings and got a shed that was pretty much the same size for the same money. I lost money, I Know, but what else was I to do. I needed a shed and easyshed were useless. They had my money, and I had no shed. Please read all these reviews, the reviews on the easyshed website themselves i would not trust.”
