“Excellent service and support when base found to be problematic - rearranged delivery and new foundation quickly and shed built speedily - with good humour - excellent”
“Parts don’t fit well. Therefore, requires adaptations but still gaps around doors that let weather in. Instructions not easy to follow. Felt for roof too thin and flimsy. So not good value for money.
Overall looks good once built .”
“I’ve bought two wooden arbour seats from Shire, delighted with both.
Great product for purpose and good value.
Delivery and communication good, no complaints at all.”
“This is my third Shire log cabin which I have erected and use as workshops. Their erection was easy on my own and the spare pieces provided have been most useful, since occasionally odd pieces are warped or split.”
“Overall I was pleased with the product but wasn’t happy with not being supplied with enough roof felt at point of delivery and also the quality of finish around the door locking mechanism - it also took your customer service team a while to respond to these complaints following the building of my shed”
“the playhouse arrived with effeciency and the driver was friendly. my husband then enjoyed putting together the playhouse saying the materials were top quality and the instructions easy to follow. my four year old grandson helped and the finished product is now being used frequently and its very warm inside.”
“We purchased a 10’ x 6’ shiplap pent potting shed and are extremely pleased with the quality of the product.
The directions on how to construct the building were clear and detailed giving excellent guidance to ensure the shed was erected correctly.
Overall quality is excellent. We are very pleased with the product and feel it was very good value.”

“Well I've got to be honest and I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the goods (garden shed) the timber thickness used was the bare minimum that you could get away with , one of the roof joists was split the full length, how this got past your quality control is beyond me ! and to top it all the glass for the window was missing .
Having spent nearly £600 on this item I expected something a little bit better, had I seen this item with my own eyes before purchasing I wouldn't have bought it .
Sorry this is a negative review but this is how I feel.”

“Excellent, sturdy double wheelie bin screen, I bought it from Screwfix. I actually bought this to serve a rather different purpose, to replace my ageing double compost bin! It's ideal for this, rotating to a different side each year, emptying from the front and filling through the top lid. I added two barricade beams at the front to hold the doors shut against the weight of the compost and used fence paint to improve longevity.
Delivery was prompt and the on the day tracking information was excellent. Would have given five stars but for three reasons. Firstly, it wasn't a double unit, it was two singles which stand side by side. Not a serious issue and its possible to screw them together but means a double thickness of wood between them. Secondly, although I knew this would be self assembly, the work involved was far more involved than I expected, none of the holes were pre drilled, these all had to be measured and drilled by the purchaser, including hanging the door hinges and positioning the hinge correctly for the lid, so a greater skill level is required than some might be expecting, and some people may not own the tools. To make matters worse, one of the supplied wooden beams was about an inch too long and it had to be cut to size - causing some confusion, but the fact was confirmed by checking the length of the same piece in the other bin.
As a result, I had to employ a handyman to assemble this at a cost of an extra £70 to be sure a good job was done, as I wanted it to be right. None of these things are made clear on the listing.
So, on the whole excellent, I would buy another as a replacement when this one rots, but let down by a lack of up front imformation on the website and difficult assembly..”
Good afternoon Mrs Harrison, thank you for your detailed review! We're glad to hear that you found the wheelie bin screen sturdy and suitable for your composting needs.

We understand that self-assembly can sometimes be more complicated than expected, and we’re always looking to improve clarity in our product listings. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused by the pre-drilling and beam sizing issues. Your insights are valuable, and we hope to make the experience smoother for our customers in the future. Thank you for considering us for your replacement needs!
