  | Very happy with the garage, needed two people to erect both tradesmen would be difficult if no trade involvement a Shedstore customer, Thursday 01st of July 2010 |
| THE GARAGE HAS BEEN BUILT AND MY SON IS REALLY PLEASED WITH IT. IT HAS TO BE SAID THAT IT IS GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY WE PAID AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. a Shedstore customer, Monday 10th of May 2010 |
| The "Tin shed" did not disapoint, it is spacious and looks good. It is however not a simple task to erect. It has been subject to a few leaks and condensation in the recent freezing/snowy weather but I would recommend. a Shedstore customer, Wednesday 13th of January 2010 |
| I was able to construct this garage on my own with minimal difficulty. Obviously it took me far longer to complete than recommended for two people. Problems I came across 1.Some of the packaging was damaged and there was some minor dents on some of the panels, while I was not happy with this I did not feel it waranted a big complaint. 2.Some of the frame work pieces had material left behind and I spent perhaps and hour overall just removing small discs from the frames to accomodate the self tapping screws. 3.The base of the walls were fit together using 200mm brackets this was also where the main frame for the walls were fixed into T junctions. Of the 8 Brackets supplied 4 were not wider(or smaller) than the base rails so these joints had to be forced to fit. Due to the gauge of the material it was not too difficult to do this but it was not to my liking. 4.When starting to fit the roof it became apparent that there were not going top be enough self tapping screws. And due to the fact I was doing this on weekend time I lost at least a week sourcing and having to buy the same screws to complete the job. With the two rear panels, the two transparent panels and three of the remaining roof panels fit I ran out of screws both 9&12mm. there was still over half the roof to fit. This was the single biggest and most annoying part of the whole job. I still have enough plastic washers to do another complete garage and possibly more. Overall I am happy with the garage the manual was excellent. I had some small issues with it but was able to work through them, taking breaks and coffee etc. I would like to see gutters on the garage and will have to make some or fit some due to the size of this particular model. A lot of rain falls in these here parts. Good Luck. a Shedstore customer, Wednesday 21st of October 2009 |
| Good value for money. It is sturdy enough for me on the windy moors. Do not try to assemble in the wind, as it is only strong when fully built, It will crumple like a toy (and did do! it required straightening of many parts! but that was my fault for hurrying) Odd bits require 'fettling' but nothing a drill and 2mm bit wont sort out. For the price, a very good product. I would buy again. a Shedstore customer, Sunday 28th of December 2008 |
| The product was exactly as described. Once assembled it is very sturdy. The only problem is that putting it together is very time consuming and challanging. At the least two people are needed and it may take up to three days to complete. It is very difficult to assemble in cold/wet/windy weather. a Shedstore customer, Monday 22nd of December 2008 |
| The instructions and the diagrams could be made easier to understand and if you dont have DIY skills ability then this garage assembly is definately not for you. The manufacturers could with a little bit of thought make this product more assembly friendly to everyone if only they would sit down and watch someone try to put one of these garages up. It is possible to put it up with two people but do try to get as many friends to help you . IMPORTANT- do give yourself a week if you intend to erect it on your own and make sure the weather is on your side as anything stronger than a light breeze will have your garage falling over on its self .Advice is get the roof on asap to make the structure solid. Once that is on it makes the whole building secure but make sure you remember to fit the ankor kit as it can still lift off skyward and end up in your neighbours back garden. WARNING- If you want to keep on good terms with your girlfriend dont ask her to help you. a Shedstore customer, Sunday 19th of October 2008 |
| Very good product - easy to erect and very very sturdy! a Shedstore customer, Wednesday 01st of October 2008 |
| Do NOT assemble when there is any wind. Two people is the minimum but the more the merrier. Instructions ok and all pieces were labled. a Shedstore customer, Sunday 31st of August 2008 |
| The unit as a whole represented good value for money. The instructions could do with improving as time is wasted on assembly by duplicate work as diagrams are unclear. Also security of finished product is suspect as only a screw driver is needed to remove panels. A suggestion would be for either rivets or at least security headed bolts (with tool provided ) a Shedstore customer, Monday 02nd of June 2008 |
| Was relatively easy with two of us, but a few of the parts could do with a bit more labelling (this way up, etc!!) a Shedstore customer, Sunday 01st of June 2008 |
| Def. a two man job as very fiddly. Some of the holes didnt line up so had to re-drill. Other than that well worth the money. a Shedstore customer, Saturday 08th of March 2008 |
| I was very surprised to receive a flat pack garage, that said in two days it was up and in use thanks to the help of two friends. Good value for the money. a Shedstore customer, Thursday 24th of January 2008 |
| The metal garage is good value for money, it however did take a week for me to put it together it reminded me of meccano, it's not completely water proof but still in general for the size it is good value. a Shedstore customer, Tuesday 15th of January 2008 |
| Everything delivered ok and on time. You have to take your time in assembling but the final garage looks good, is more substantial than I thought it would be and great value too. I raised mine up on cement blocks to give more head room as this is used as a home workshop. a Shedstore customer, Monday 14th of January 2008 |
