“Very good value for money, Very well made but the instructions could be a bit more extensive. Not impossible to put up by yourself but as stated two people make it easy.”
“I was able to place my order easily and pick my delivery date. I was also able to get another product for my daughter at a lower price due to you agreeing to price match Wilko.”
“Delivery was on time. The delivery driver was on his own and each piece of this shed had to be handed down to us from the back of this high covered lorrry. Given the weight of these things I was expecting a vehicle with a tail lift as minimum and for health and safety reasons 2 men should be delivering these sheds”
“I was very pleased with potting shed but why on earth do you put the dimensions and post code, in black on the window strut. It looks awful and should have been on the bottom or top of the window unit so that it wasn’t visible after construction. Also we never received the 80mm screws, fortunately I had some. Overall it’s a well constructed unit but quality control needs reviewing.”
“Im really pleased and delighted now shed is up. Its very nice. Shed builders made an excellent foundation for the shed but had to shave door to fit and make another hole for the door lock which was slightly out of sync. Also replaced some pins. Nothing major. Delivery was prompt and driver very polite but on his own. He would have had to drag certain heavy parts if no-one was available to help him. Maybe not good for the item? Just an observation.”
“Overall very good quality product well made and sturdy. Only negative is that some of the wood on the fence pieces and on the front section by the windows was very rough and would have benefitted from proper planing or sanding. As it was a child's playhouse I could not leave it rough so had to spend time doing this. Had this been done by the manufacturer I would have given it a full 5 stars.”
“I ordered the walk around greenhouse. It has now been assembled and I am happy with the overall finished product. However the finishing of the separate items was not what I expected. There were very rough finishing on all doors where the cutting had splintered and was an eye sore. Many sections of the internal door structures did not fit snugly, had jagged edges, and gaps so I have had to use filler to ensure rain does not penetrate.
Overall with the modifications I have made I am happy with it but it took a lot of work to attain the finished product I expected on purchase.
Items were missing but they have since been sent via posting and it is now complete.”
“THE SERVICE FROM ELBEC WAS VERY GOOD AS FAR AS DELIVERY WAS CONCERNED.
HOWEVER, THE SHED PURCHASED IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH AND A WASTE OF OVER £1,000. THE TONGUED AND GROOVED PANELS HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED BY A BLIND MORON, AS THE TONGUES IN SEVERAL CASES ARE 1/4 INCH AWAY FROM THE GROOVE, NOTHING IS SQUARE AND IT COST ME AN EXTRA £300 FOR A BUILDER TO TRY AND REINFORCE THE STRUCTURE.
I DID SEND PICTURES AND A COMPLAINT TO ELBEC BUT NO RESPONSEWHICH IS A BIT DISAPPOINTING!!”
“Overall the shed is quite good value for money, considering how much the prices have risen.
Good points-
All hardware included, screws, fixings, brackets, locks etc.
Nice pieces of wood to trim the corners.
Easy to put together.
Bad points-
Frame is made of cheap batons which easily warp if you leave the shed about a week or two before putting together.
Roof panels are only 9mm osb, not very strong as you need to get on top to fix the felt etc. Also roof panels barely big enough, virtually zero overlap front and back of walls.
Roof strut in middle not same angle as ends meaning roof drops in the middle, so the felt wrinkles.
Doors shrunk or not wide enough to start with, 15-20mm gap.”
“We ordered a metal shed. No response for a couple for weeks and then I rang to see what was going on. The lady on the phone sorted it out so that was great and the shed turned up a few days later. Shed was fine and is up and looking great. However, the metal "base" which I ordered with it turned out to be just a few lengths of flimsy bent metal with no instructions, no fittings to put them together and no discernible purpose, given that as the shed is floorless you have to put it on a concrete base. Bit of a waste of money that. So all in all, a bit mixed.”
