I had to contact the company as my order wasn't delivered within the timescale specified. It was then delivered but I was not informed of the date or time of delivery. My order was missing 2 hinges and 1 of the 2 I did receive was faulty.

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.

Purchasing was relatively straightforward but delivery of the greenhouse was late which was frustrating as delivery date was before bank holiday weekend with the aim to build it over the long weekend. No reasons or updates provided and it ended up being delivered 5 days late after the long weekend.

Relatively easy to erect with help, found some nails in the roof where they missed the frame resulting in them sticking through, a couple of pieces slightly warped, but often expectedwith wood, lovely and cosy inside and liked the option of being able to chop and change the design. We put in a cat flap as it used as a cat house, they love it especially when it's sunny

I'm a competent woodworker so I did the best job I was able to with the quality of the overlap timber. Quite a lot of warped wood, not planed or finished, hence lots of splinters. A little disappointing, I'm hoping it keeps the shed contents dry but it seems unlikely. Too many gaps. I now wished I'd paid a bit more for a better quality unit.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience with our product. We understand your disappointment with the building that has been delivered. Warping can certainly affect construction, and we are sorry that this has impacted your project. Warping is a natural effect of all timber, which is a result of rapid changes in moisture levels and weather temperatures, although it is not a detrimental effect on the structure's integrity. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team. Kind Regards, elbec Garden Buildings

Good value budget shed. A lot of repairs required on panels due to nails used during fabrication process having split the cladding. Hinges and locking hasp very flimsy and required replacing and updating. Roof felt very thin and again required updating. In hindsight the additional outlay could have gone to purchasing a more robust and better quality shed.

Cheep sheds, They are not interested if parts are missing, you have to phone the manufacturer yourself to get the replacement parts.

Great looking greenhouse, perfect size, absolutely awful to put together!! We have put together many sheds, storage boxes, playhouses, greenhouses, coops and hutches over the years, but this one took us 3 days!! Things that needed screwing on but 3 steps later told you to take it off again, bits that made no sense at all, bits that don't fit together properly and instructions that were about 40 pages long 🤦‍♀️ Definitely won't be buying this brand again

Purchased the greenhouse from Elbec. Design good. Building instructions terrible. Hardware poor quality. Structure quality not as good as I expected. The back section was warped & some of the wood of inferior quality. Shelves didn't fit & had to be altered. Better than many others on the market but still not good enough.
