The greenhouse we received was not particularly well made , many of the panels were distorted and when the frame was erected the individual spaces for the panels to fit into were all slightly varying sizes. As the panels themselves were all a bit distorted this meant a lot of time was needed to get the items to fit , see accompanying photos . It took about three days to assemble. Not so good. As you can see in the photos some of the panel gaps were huge , so big in fact that I needed to buy extra long screws.. Also the hinges were quite small and the screws were too fat to fit in the countersinks properly , so the hinges do not close properly. Also the sawing of the wood was very rough , see photos below.

The service I received from Sharon at Elbec was more than excellent. She went out of her way to answer my queries and solve problems when I was choosing my new shed/greenhouse. I felt as if I were talking to a friend. Thank you Sharon.

the shed arrived late in the day so my carpenter wasnt here to inspect but he came to build it 2 days later... 3 windows broken window frames too big had to cut down every one... open knot holes x 11... floor very flimsy will have to be reinforced..there was a split in the shid when a nail had gone through slat. . and 2 days after finishing it in 34 degrees of sunshine it rained and the back wall was soaking.. and the side wall had warped to the point i could put my fingers between slats. YES...Ive complained THREE TIMES and they sent me 3 more plastic windows but every part has to be photographed and part number added and tape measued its exhaisting... my carpenter is £150 a day and because of having to mess around trying to make things fit cost me extra,,,, now there is a problem with water and open slats and they suggested i take it all apart and put in new bits they send... omg 2 more days work as roof and felt is on and attached again... this is turning out to be a very expensive and not very well made shed... i just hope that after my last lot of photos and rant that they give me some kind of compensation so i can pay my carpenter 40 yrs time served... to fix there problems..... would I buy of them again NO.. i spent 3 hours waiting on phone or answer and call back never happened takes them days to get back to you.... wish I had never bought the thing more trouble and cost tan its worth.. and now soaking wet so cant store anything in it.

Bought a wooden log store from Elbec last September. During the warm summer weather, the wooden roof has warped, causing large gaps for the water to penetrate. Elbec informed me that 'Due to the length of time between your original delivery and your concerns raised of the warped timber, you are not entitled to any replacement or repair.' So after ten months my log store is useless. Date of experience: 27 June 2025

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your wooden log store. We are sorry to learn about the issues you've faced with the roof warping. Your experience is important to us, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Warping is a natural effect of all timber, which can occur within the acclimations and temperatures of the weather. It is recommended to apply a water repellent to the timber to help maintain the balance of moisture levels within the timber, which can limit the movement in the timber. If there is anything further we can assist you with or if you have any other concerns, please feel free to contact our Customer Care Team. Kind Regards, elbec Garden Buildings.
