by Shedstore customer on Wednesday 13th of January 2010Although it was a great deal of work, I managed to put up this shed in a single day, thanks mainly to the very clear, excellent instructions. The pack corresponded very clearly with the instructions and everything came together with few hitches, however upon constructing the summerhouse, I discovered - to my horror - that there were still batons nailed to the base of each panel. There had been instruction to remove these at the start. I therefore had to lift each corner of the shed (extremely heavy by this stage!) to remove the panels, by knocking them out with a hammer. It was dangerous and very difficult. I scoured the instructions afterwards, but sure enough, there had been no advice about removing any batons from the panels. Why on earth hadn't there been? One major glitch in otherwise excellent instructions. |

by Shedstore customer on Saturday 26th of September 2009Considering the low price of this summerhouse it is extremely good value. It was very easy to erect and is a lovely addition to our garden. |

by Shedstore customer on Saturday 04th of July 2009Bought to use as a 5yr childs playhouse. Very suitable and good price. As some other reviewers, found the floor panel to be borderline too thin so used boards on top. Overall very pleased with purchase. |

by Shedstore customer on Monday 29th of June 2009I am very happy with my shed. It went together easily, everything fitted, and the end results are excellent for the money. I've seen many more expensive sheds that don't seem any better. My only gripe is that the roofing nails could have been a little longer. I replaced them, but, as they say, no biggie. |

by Shedstore customer on Monday 29th of June 2009I thought this was a great idea however the hinges fitting on the outside of the summerhouse means that it is not as secure as i would expect it to be seems pointless to put a lock on the outside as if someone wants to break in they just have to undo the hinges simple. However saying that i think it is lovely as a summerhouse. thanks |

by Shedstore customer on Tuesday 16th of June 2009We're delighted with our Summerhouse. It was delivered on time and all pieces were present and sound. The quality of the building materials is better than we expected and we were able to erect it in an afternoon (does need two people to do it). We did take the precaution of using a better grade roofing felt although that supplied would have done the job. Our Summerhouse is currently being used as a temporary puppy kennel - for which it is perfect. Excellent value for money, Many Thanks. |

by Shedstore customer on Sunday 14th of June 2009For the price it is good value for money, but the window fitting is a little odd. |

by Shedstore customer on Saturday 13th of June 2009Good shed, value for money, only one problem, roof felt not very good and now very patchy as the sand has fallen off. |

by Shedstore customer on Sunday 31st of May 2009Good value for money. Lay the doors flat before erecting the summerhouse otherwise they warp. |

by Shedstore customer on Monday 23rd of February 2009At 300 quid, a great play house for the kids. Add extra battons under floor, get some better felt. |

by Shedstore customer on Sunday 28th of December 2008Great summerhouse - looks wonderful when erected. Reasonably easy to assemble too - one person can do most of the work, but on occasion a second person will be required. We've put ours on a paving slab base (as we had some lying around) but also used some pre-treated timbers to strengthen the base and extend the life.
Generally the buid quality is what you might expect for such a building - a bit rough, but it does fit together in the end. As others have mentioned, the roof is the biggest letdown. The felt ripped very easily when being put up, despite being very careful. Also, the tacks provided are woefully inadequate, and we had to purchase longer ones to hold the felt on. I suspect that the roofing felt will need to be replaced within a year or two. |

by Shedstore customer on Tuesday 23rd of December 2008I thought that the shed was good value for money, but not in the prepared condition that I expected from a Summerhouse "boasting," about its quality and "recommended," normal selling price. Delivery was staggeringly efficient with next week delivery from order.The end result is actually excellent, but only because I chose to take time in coating the parts with wood treatment before assembly, and substituted your nails for decent screws. I would however give full marks for the way the pieces fitted together without need for any, "adjustments." |

by Shedstore customer on Wednesday 29th of October 2008I bought this item as a rustic shed rather than an elegant summerhouse building. it is a great little building easy to put up but we modified it as the plans were not brilliant and we felt we could do a better job with the roof. We painted it before erection with cuprinol garden shades. very summery, seaside type of hut. Timber a bit rough and it could have been manufactured with more care. |

by Shedstore customer on Wednesday 29th of October 2008pleased with price, prompt delivery and ease of assembly, build quality is good (though a few nails were short of the mark) T & G far better than lapped, not keen on the sandy roof felt so have used green felt. We are enjoying our summer house! Recommended! |

by Shedstore customer on Thursday 16th of October 2008Great summer house. Bought this house for my daughter to use as a playhouse. Plenty of room for her toys and table and chairs and when she has grown out of it I am hoping I can use it as a Summer House. |

by Shedstore customer on Friday 10th of October 2008generally good value for money, but roof covering poor quality and the floor needed extra noggins to make it reasonably rigid. |

by Shedstore customer on Monday 15th of September 2008Great Summerhouse. Delivery was fast and efficient. It didn't take long to put up once we got our heads around the instructions, and the customer services were very helpful. We've painted it the colour of Brighton Beach Huts and it looks lovely. |

by Shedstore customer on Monday 01st of September 2008Excellent service, well constructed shed, and just what I wanted! Do you make any shelving for this item? (Shedstore comment: Sadly not). |
|

     |
|
by Shedstore customer on Monday 01st of September 2008Now that the summerhouse is up it is great - exactly what I wanted - with just enough room for two seats and a small table. Delivery was prompt but I think it is a bit ambitious to say that it needs only 2 people to erect it - it took 4 of us! Also, the initial glazing pack contained neither the correct number and size of window panes nor beading strips and we got 2 more packs delivered before we had the correct amount and size. |

|
by Shedstore customer on Friday 29th of August 2008The summer house was good value for money. Fitting the windows was a fiddle but not big deal. Supported the floor plinth with a few extra cross pieces to give more rigidity, so spend about £10 on extra materials would be my advice. Had one door that warped badly, but quickly replaced without any fuss so no complaints here. |

by Shedstore customer on Wednesday 13th of August 2008Nice looking product when its all up. A good weekend project. Make sure you "square" it up before you put the roof on! |
