Ordered through Elbec and delivery was managed by the manufacturer, Shire. Delivery, although much later than estimated, was on the day I had requested.

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.

The door was warped, I am waiting for the replacement to arrive, mostly fitted together well, having to treat it, which I did before assembly was time consuming, quite happy.

The summerhouse did not arrive on the day scheduled. My husband was phoned that day to say that there was a problem and it would be delivered on a later date. It was not until we phoned the office to ask when that they realised that the summerhouse had not been delivered as scheduled. The point of buying this summerhouse was that my husband (83) would not have the bother of painting it. Alas, as is clear from the photos, it was so poor that we feclt it necessary to coat it. If I had known it was constructed of fence panels, I would certainly have pocked something else. Great disappointment it its poor appearance. Avril Manson.

Brought a £400 8x6 shed. Was absolutely terrible. The worse thing I’ve ever brought! Nothing lined up. I had to use other wood to keep the windows and buy more roof felt as there wasn’t enough.

The wood was covered in knots some were almost see through. The frame kept splitting when you put a screw through it. Panels and doors were warped. Window frames very very flimsy. Really bad
