Having purchased this shed i was looking forward to assembling it. Imagine my dismay when i began assembling it the floor was made of very thin osb board and when i stood on it it began to buckle as there were no supporting woodwork underneath, I have had to purchase addition wood to strengthen the flooring so it is capable of supporting anything in the shed.And now i feel i will need to do the same to the roof as it is made out of the same thin diameter osb and if i need to climb on the roof to put the felt on for example it almost certainly couldnt hold up.I must also mention the struts already attached to the floor are very poor quality as some have gouges out of them and almost certainly hasn't been through any q.c.. Iam not going to go through the process of taking pictures and having a to and fro with you before you come to a decision about it.I will just make sure that not only i but anyone else i know avoid you goods. For the money i have paid i am extremely unhappybut i guess you live and learn.

I purchased a potting shed in June 25. Delivered with minor faults- nails protruding, window closers not fitted correctly etc (I am in the joinery trade so was able to rectify myself) I added preservative to protect the timbers before assembly and again straight after. However the door appeared to be warped, but because I had already treated the timbers, Elbec or Shire were not interested, yet they were also saying that if you DID NOT treat it then you HAD NO GUARANTEE. It seems to me that you can't win, that either way you HAVE NO GUARANTEE. Over the next few weeks they had me jumping through hoops, sending photo's and emails, all for nothing, they had no intention of sorting out the door, they told me that this was normal as all doors warp (All doors DO NOT warp and being brand new should not) This should have been sorted. Customer service very poor Avoid Avoid Avoid.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the disappointment you have experienced with your potting shed, particularly in relation to the door. As timber is a natural material, it is susceptible to movement, such as warping, if it is not treated and maintained with a suitable timber treatment. We understand you applied a garden shade product; however, this is not a preservative treatment. Garden shades are decorative coatings that require a primer before use to provide protection, and without this, the timber remains vulnerable to the weather. This is likely to have contributed to the issue you have experienced with the door. To assist, we offered to provide additional parts to help the door retain its shape and improve its function. We are sorry that this has not met your expectations, and we appreciate that this has caused frustration. Your feedback is valued and will be used to improve the support we offer, and we are sorry that your experience has not been more positive. Kind Regards, elbec Garden Buildings.

However, we're truly sorry to learn about the issue with water absorption resulting in a wet interior. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have. To assist you with the water seeping into your building, we would recommend contacting our Customer Care Team, who remain available to help you. Kind Regards, elbec Garden Buildings.

It's a Beckwood 7'x5' apex shed. The instructions are as minimal as they could be with timbers not labelled Basically I'm wishing I'd just bought the flats and timber and made my own, I'll know for next time. Everything is as thin as the manufacturer could get away with, the tongue and groove floor isn't solid enough, so I'm going lay another sheet on top, the 8mm roof is pretty thin 12mm would have been more suitable, and there are plenty of gaps in the flats themselves. I've added extra timbers under the eaves as well as reinforcement along the inside of the walls which has improved the structure for less wobble. Don't be fooled by the lovely photos, solid is not the word.

This company appears unable to identify what has been ordered and thus sends emails about constructing hard bases for sheds when a garden planter has been ordered.

No labling or numbers on parts for shed so no way to identify certain rails etc on instructions. Poor or no weather proofing on gaps betwees roof and sides, normally there would be some foam strips to prevent rain and wind getting in.

The bits of wood were not numbered and it was difficult to know where each one went. The door was warped and had to have a catch put on it, to keep it closed. The windows don't stay flat against the plastic bits at the bottom of the panes. It is very light and a strong gale (which we are prone to here) would blow it over, so I could not put it where I wanted, but had to relocate it to different spot. It took 6 hours to put it together.
