Very please with my 10 x 8 Shed. Delivery was delayed by a couple of weeks but it was worth the wait. Sharon was very pleasant and extremely helpful in keeping me informed of progress and delivery. The delivery driver was very polite and helpful. I would recommend Elbec.

The delivery of the Sunhouse parts came on the day it was supposed to, the delivery driver was very helpful and put the sunhouse parts where I wanted them. And the sunhouse now looks great in the corner of my garden. Thanks.

Managed to erect it in a week-end with the help of a friend. The finished product is of excellent quality but one word of caution; after three weeks, when strimming the lawn, a flying stone shattered the side piece toughened glass in a million pieces - a costty £65 to replace! Question; Why is their no warning of this eventuality in any of the blurb ? Advice to prospective buyers - "Don't use a lawn strimmer within firing range or at least cover the glass with a piece of plywood"

Good basic shed, it is very low inside, I had to raise the sides, the roof felt is flimsy and the.roof osb is thin, otherwise very happy.

Delivery quick and well done. Self assembly is fairly hard and you need to have most woodwork tools to complete the job. It would be really helpful if the window frames could come with the hinge insert already chiselled in as this was a bit tricky. The house itself looks fantastic and my daughter is thrilled with it. We have painted it ourselves to the colours we wanted.

Great communication and delivery. Assembly instructions clear and all parts needed for the build included. Some fettling needed because front panel had been made carelessly and some slats were out of line. Overall really good value and granddaughters are very happy!

I’m only giving four stars because my item is not advised to be delivered until late April early May. I am sure it will be fine! I am adding to the above due to the reply I just received, which implied I was complaining about my delivery time. I will state here I had no issues with this and didn’t really appreciate having it explained to me that they were busy. My issue may, however, be receiving a purchase review request, four or five weeks prior to my item arriving. I am not retaining an email on my system for this length of time, nor am I giving five stars to something I haven’t seen. My review explained, in my view anyway, why I had given the score I did. I promise I will wait, as I had intended to anyway, like a true subservient.

All parts were delivered on time. Window fittings were a little flimsy and we chose to buy sturdier replacements. Once adjustments were made to warped parts it was moderately easy to assemble the summerhouse and once painted it looks much more expensive than it cost. Time will tell as to durability.

Good for the price, but some of the wood panels weren’t exactly straight and a few minor holes in the food but overall pretty good

8x6 pressure treated shed for £295 delivered. Not too bad for the money however i did feel really sorry for the delivery bloke. My wife rang me at work to come home and help him unload as I work fairly close to home. He was expected to unload it all into my front garden on his own which is up a few steps from the road. When I inspected the parts after he had left I saw that one of the base pieces had been crunched on one of the corners but it didn't make much difference to the structure, Also both roof panels had furry mold on them. not pleasant and I hope it doesn't come back now its all assembled. The instructions are fairly basic and took some head scratching to understand but 3 hours and 2 of us got it built. Now to dispose of the old one :(

Ordered a corner summerhouse on line during lockdown. Unable to actually view before buying but managed to find someone locally who had purchased one a few years ago. (We knew what we wanted and how much we were willing to pay.) Original delivery date was selected some 6 weeks later but this extended almost immediately to twelve weeks. Around the original DD I E-mailed Elbec and said we were able to accept an earlier delivery if available and two days later I received a phone call saying could we take it on Friday of that week. Delivered as notified on the dot of 0730 by one man who refused (very politely) any assistance. All parts checked and found OK apart from a few lengths of trim which were hopelessly warped due to rain ingress. The roof and floor panels were extra-waterproofed before assembly and the wife and I built it over a very hot weekend, with a neighbour to assist in lifting the roof panel. Apart from some creative thinking needed to screw the wall panels and door assembly together, it all came together. Painted with two coats of wood preservative within a couple of days and we are very pleased with the result. We didn't need to contact Elbec for anything, B&Q are very close by and we were able to replace the warped trim quite easily. Overall, good value for money and we didn't need to contact customer services at all. Limited construction information given, but it was fairly straightforward (apart from the front corners). It has been rained on heavily and frequently since building and it appears to be water tight. I would suggest any purchaser buys the optional floor "boot" pack to raise the assembly from the base and with hindsight, a more heavy duty roof felt.

Ordering was pretty straight forward, but we can't get an ETA for delivery which would be helpful due to the size of the unit and delivery location.
