Ordered a summerhouse and the shed boots to go with it. When it arrived the package didn’t look like it had everything in it. I contacted Elbec and was told it looks everything is in the package. If the installers arrive and it’s not all there then Elbec will send out what is missing. When the installers arrived as I pointed out the boots were not included. I’ve had to wait for the boots to be sent out and the installation date is delayed by 2 weeks! No photo attached because it’s not built yet!

The Pent Tall Garden Store is acceptable for what it is. The framework that the sides were secured to was badly done preventing the sides fitting properly, I had to undo some parts of the frame work and install them properly. Some of the side slats were cracked due to the nails being badly put in. I have also purchased sealer to seal the corners better.

Small log store - was delivered damaged, reported to the delivery driver who took photos and reported the damage to HQ. Total silence from Elbec? Expected a replacement part that was damaged! So much for customer service

I was pleased with the log store. Both the ordering and delivery process. However having carefully put it all together, after applying a water based wood preservative on all surfaces, I have noted the wood on the roof has started to split after no more than a week outside. The splits are where the nails are joining the overlapping thin pieces of wood. This might be as a result of the high temperatures we have had recently bit I still find this disappointing as I was very pleased till today. Hopefully this isn't the norm but just my bad luck!

Poor quality of wood and not well fitting windows or door. Have had to fill between joints and add beading around the windows to reduce drafts and make watertight. Having said that, having done the repairs, it looks lovely and we are now happy with it.

Generally pleased with the summerhouse apart from some issues regarding the quality of the joints which have required to be filled to make watertight and windproof and a good few holes in the wood and badly fitting windows to which we have had to add beading to reduce drafts. Some of the wood was split and needed to be repaired before construction.

A couple of issues, the felt on the roof ripped off in a moderate wind. The tacks were very short and did not hold the felt down. We purchased a better quality of felt and used glue , longer tacks and Batton to hold the new felt in place. The felt is now holding firm.

Website was incorrect for the date of delivery, leaving a large gap between taking down the old shed and putting this one up. Instructions were OK, no mention of spare parts being included which led to a bit of head scratching.

Communication was fair form Elbec once prompted, the lead time and stock indication wasn't good and having to chase up for delivery timeframes wasn't ideal. Forest's delivery service was excellent, time slot and driver's attitute were great.

Sorry to say I was underwhelmed by the quality. I accept that natural wood splits, and moves with time. But I do not expect to receive the shed with large, long splits in the slats, warped slats, or broken supports. Safe to say I will not recommend this shed to anyone.
