“Everything about this has been poor; the service, the delivery and the shed itself.
- When I ordered the shed and selected a delivery date it never showed up.
- When the item was eventually delivered (after I chased this up) it was broken and damaged and had to be sent back.
- Another shed was delivered, but this was also damaged (not as bad as the first one, but still not acceptable) - and when it was fitted together the doors were warped, didn’t closed without force and they didn’t fit in the frame properly. There were also other various gaps and mid-alignments.
Communication from both Elbec and the manufacturer has been dreadful, and the issues still haven’t been rectified - despite us sending numerous pictures, videos and messages.
Elbec passed our case to the manufacturer rather than taking ownership of the situation, and despite multiple people at the manufacturer apparently working on our case we don’t seem to be making any progress.
I wouldn’t buy from them again.”

“Overall a very poor quality shed. Warped boards allowing water ingress. Missing battens underneath the windows. No battens for the felt roof. No weather batten for the door. I have spent £30 on sealant to fill all the gaps. £10 on 13mm battens and £10 on right angle brackets. Your wood treatment looked poor so I used a Tikkurila Scandanavian protective coating at a cost of 50 . Guttering and fittings £20 .My time and my products additional to the build £60. Had I had time to check it before the driver left I would have sent it back. As it is I've made the best of a rubbish shed at some cost to myself. I won't be recommending your company to anyone but I will make people aware to avoid your company.
Dissatisfied and unhappy doesn't cover it. Rest assured I will never use your company again.”

“Bought a summerhouse with a side shed, and the experience was deeply disappointing. The initial delivery was missing the side shed, and the wood panels that did arrive were chipped. The wood for the base frame was warped and clearly inadequate. On top of these quality issues, the customer service was appalling; a male representative was particularly rude and unhelpful. The entire business seems to lack basic quality control and vendor oversight, as evidenced by these repeated issues. To make matters worse, the second delivery for the missing shed was also incorrect. Avoid this company!”

“Very dissapointed with my 10 x 10 shed. parts delivered which were the wrong size and had to cut to fit, window sills very loose and made it hard to hammer window beading into, 4 of the 6 plastic windows didnt fit properly resulting in plastic being distorted and out of shape, gaps everywhere, door bowing out of shape, roof already sagging and only had the shed about 2 months. Was going to return it for a full refund but had no where to put the stuff in the shed, elbec offered me £50 to keep it, wish I'd returned it now”

“Delivery delayed twice. When the greenhouse arrived there was a back panel missing from the order. Me and my husband had 2 days booked off work to erect the greenhouse and then couldn’t put it up cos an integral part had been missed. Contacted them immediately, stressed we needed this ASAP. They said they’d get back in touch …. they didn’t. Rang again next day to follow up missing section. Said they’d had got in touch with manufacturer and was waiting to hear back from them. Had to insist they get in touch with them and let me know what’s happening. Never heard back from them!!!! So the greenhouse is in sections waiting to be erected and we’ve waisted 2 days off !!! FURIOUS. There seems to be no urgency or acceptance that this was there mistake and should have been even avoidable. How the hell can you miss off a back panel and send it out incomplete.”

“Buying and getting our summer house has been a long drawn out painful process. From the length of time it took for us to get our first delivery to the broken state of the delivery that we received with missing parts it has been dissapointing. We have finally managed to get the replacement parts so we have it built. Both delivery companies that were used provided a poor service with no communication and lacked any care and attention for the products they were delivering. I wouldnt recommend the product or the company after our experience.”
