“The summer house overall is really nice but the floor is to thin and very weak I have had to pay out for more and stronger flooring .. the window catch could be better they broke aster 2 days other than that overall it's a lovely summer house once completed”
“Promp delivery, well packaged and the sections were well constucted, so far so good. However, when it came to putting the unit together the problems mounted as the task progressed, Thos was entirely due to the fixtures and fittings. Some fell apart, some were short and some were just plain wrong, for example the felt nails supplied were all 8mm (which is ok for a dolls house) when they should have been 13mm. This caused delays and extra expence trying to sorce the correct item locally. The finial was missing altogether and have had to come up with a plan B.
All in all a good product let down by poor fittings.”
“Very pleased with my purchase. The shed was delivered as agreed and everything arrived in good condition. The delivery driver was efficient and helpful. The assembly instructions were excellent: clear and easy to follow, and all the required ironmongery was supplied. The fabrication quality was very good, with only one small defect where some nails attaching cladding to an underlying baton had missed the target, but this was easily remedied.”
“As a landscape gardener for 40 years this is the worst shed I have purchased for a customer and I have orderd a few
This company had 2weeks from order to delivery this shed looks like it was made up in a day as there are so many mistakes had to change 6 tongh and groove bords because holes knots bords would of sent it back but customer said no as they need shed as they just moved into new property
Should be ashamed of themselves sending a shed out in this condition driver turned up with load collapsed on one side”

“A lovely addition to our garden very easy to assemble . after a couple of weeks we have noticed a lot of shrinkage to the timber causing cracking of joints and movement of door frame some of the timber is not very good quality rough sawn ..door furniture not very good . regards M White .Watford.”
“Bought this because we wanted something a bit more attractive than the usual plastic and aluminum greenhouse at our new home. It is of solid construction. All panels in good condition when they arrived. Instructions are pretty good. You definitely need 2 people to put together and you will need some DIY experience to make a good job of it. We had the main structure put up in a few hours (we already had a solid level base in place), but be warned, there is a lot of bits and pieces to paint - 2 days work to get that done! . Silicone sealant is recommended for putting in the glass too. Putting in the glass takes some time and care but overall the finshed products looks fanatastic and is very robust.”
“Excellent build and quality for the price point. I upgraded the base to a rotating turntable and upgraded the roof with shingles to get my desired look. Very be pleased with the building and perfect for my space.”
“Deliver driver was LOVELY but there is no way he should have been unloading a shed by himself, impossible to do safely alone so ended up having to help him myself causing myself an injury.”
“Quality merchandise, affordable and excellent customer services. Our summerhome was delivered in February and when started wood preserving the first part of April we discovered one gable had a piece of wood cracked down the middle and they replaced with no fuss within just a few days. All I had to do was send photo of damaged piece.”
“Lovely shed and ok to put up but there was no numbering or letters on the pieces in order to assemble so it was like one big puzzle trying to work out all the pieces by measuring them. Other than that the shed is lovely”
“I have been thrilled with the 7ft by 7ft Summerhouse recently purchased from Shire. It was up and running through thios most recent sunny weathere and has provided a great base fpr all the family down by the river.”
“Item was delivered on time. In good condition.
Driver was helpful. He was blocking the road so he hurriedly offloaded the item and carried it into the garden for us.
Too late after he'd gone I saw it was not what I ordered.
The herb planter was supposed to have six segments but this one had only four.
However, I am so happy with the planter and it's quality that I have determined to accept the mistake is mine, and keep it.”
“The potting shed was great. Just a couple of remarks....
1/. It was delivered with extra wood blocks to help with transport so that the lower edges do not get damaged. Excellent idea, but there is no reference to them and that they need be removed.
2/. The triangular windows were supplied separately. A good idea as it made it easier to handle the sides, but there was no screws supplied nor instructions”
