Summerhouse arrived quickly from Shires with very comprehensive instruction books. All necessary fittings were included and everything went well. Erection was completed in 3 days by one person. Finishing off and painting has taken much longer but it now looks fabulous. Several pieces of wood were warped but Shire's replaced them which was good except that the carrier (DHL) took a week to deliver them, even losing the pack at one point and telling us to contact Shires about it ! Very pleased with the price from Elbec and good customer service.

Dear Karen, We are delighted to hear that, despite some challenges with warped pieces and delivery, you were able to successfully erect the summerhouse, and it now looks fabulous. It's great that Shire promptly replaced the warped pieces, and we appreciate your understanding regarding the delivery hiccups. If you have any more feedback or if there's anything else we can assist you with, feel free to share. Enjoy your beautiful summerhouse! Best wishes, elbec garden buildings

Product: 15 x 10 (4.55m x 3.04m) Forest Overlap Double Door Pressure Treated Apex Workshop Shed Very pleased with this shed - Have insulated, clad and fitted electrics and it is quite robust and standing up to the weather - Couple of minor recommendations, as this is quite large would help if the floor boards are screwed down and the roof had roof bars (which I added) instead of felt nails - Will definitely be getting another one (or two!)

Great Web site and service. Have bought a couple of sheds from you now. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that I have to wait 3 weeks for delivery, so it's just me being impatient. As we live in a small village with narrow roads it's great that you offer smaller delivery lorries. Keep up the good service.

Rating would of been excellent had it not been that the delivery was made to the wrong address but was quickly resolved after a quick phone call and the delivery made to the correct address within a short timespan(I.e 2 hours!)

The panels are too large to get through normal size doors if you don’t have access to your garden any other way. Luckily I could get them over the garages that are adjacent to the garden. Generally very well built but the floor is a bit bouncy.

Delivery delay was becoming problematic for us but a surprise delivery at 7 am on a Friday morning saved the day. 2 days required to paint all pieces twice, put together and fill with compost and plant up made for a very happy bunny in the end. Thank you

The arbour and arch were first class quality and well worth the extra wait - this was the only reason I didn’t give five stars! They’re both now assembled, painted and in position - perhaps the assembly instructions could have been more precise, but that might be nitpicking!

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.

Ordered a shed came when arranged, looks real good. Slight split in odd panel but not noticeable. Thank you and would recommend.

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"
