These instructions are LIES and the real shed doesn’t match to the quality of the video. Actually shocking this has been made with perfect cuts but the bits they send you are more wonky than Harry’s wand 😒
couldnt agree more. I've put up loads of sheds and these sheds are by far the worst. Don't let the fancy videos sway you, the quality isn't anywhere near as good as they show and the instructions (multiple sheds all in one instruction manual and none specifically for our shed) are unbelievable (you need a carpentry degree to understand them) and a lot is assumed. In fact I've had Chinese converted to english instructions with much better clarity. We have struggled for over 4 days to put up a simple 8x6 two windowed apex shed and I'll never ever buy from these guys again. Wood was delivered warped, flooring warped and not nailed down properly. Lots of things that should have been pre assembled in house are not, instructions per each step in separate bags with instruction leaflets covering every shed bar the one you have (see above) and to top it all, not even staptled together, proving cumbersome to even read (I know its a small thing but omg how much is a bloody staple ?). Oh and top top it over, white glove delivery was a joke. I mean they refused to take it around to our plot and dumped it considerable distance away, forcing my poor wife to have to movement it all in the pouring rain. AND delivery wasn't 2 weeks either with no communication (we had to email them to find out when we was getting delivery). Without doubt the worst shed company I've ever dealt with. And you guys have won awards ? What a joke. Buyers beware.
received my shed last week suprise delivery as had not been notified that it would be coming that day .put it up today very disappointed instructions are useless , panels warped non of the boards line up door has to be planed down and the angled bits are not full length leaving gaps at the back the whole lot looks like its been done with a rip saw all rough ,dont think you will be getting anything like the ones in video .was going to order another bigger one as well but not now
Yes as I stated above the build quality is rubbish.The gaps at the end of the angled part of the siding I just put fine mesh over them on the inside and just left them as venting...
I got a 10 x 6 version of this and what a waste of money as most of the panels didn't line up. I had to mod a lot to make them fit. There are lots of holes and cracks. It is supposed to be fully pressure treated but it doesn't look like it has been. When you look at the shed when it's finished most of the shiplap is out of line.The door was all warped and didn't fit without yet again modding it. These modular designs are just crap and not worth the money. The after sales is a joke. I have phoned them on many occasions and just been fobbed off . Oh we will call you back. Ha. I will be reviewing the shed build and quality on my Instagram channel and Facebook and show everyone how these sheds are not worth it....... ps I changed the supplied hinges and used better heavier ones with coach bolts and used security glass as you can't have those silly plastic windows.
I'm thinking of doing the same. Poor quality rubbish with 25-30mm holes in the wood panels.Warped window frame.Side panels not level with each other or lining up. I've wasted so much time and money trying to put this crap together. I can't get through to them to return. They don't pick up the phone.Useless. I wish I saw these comments prior to wasting my time and money
You really need to sort your standards out my father had a shed delivered with instructions that wasn't clear so we practically had to make it up ourselves, the screws was poking through the panels them selves as if some ones missed a load.

I ordered this shed with the double doors, one of the doors is so warped its impossible to stop a gap for rain, the other door needs to be shaved down as it won't close, these doors cant meet in the middle and because of the warping would never be able to attach the locks in order to have them meet for locking, plus the pent roof sides don't reach all the way back leaving large gaps they are 44cm too short and don't look anything like the ones in this video. I think each stage is supposed to have a 'fixings pack' with corresponding pack code? but this is not the case, just one big bag of screws and fixings for you to make your own mind up about along side vague pictures with no measurements explaining which sized piece of wood goes where?. some of the floor bearings were split or burst open like it has been used like a pallet. just some of the issues you might also find if you are thinking of buying one...
This is the most accurate description of how everything arrived for ours also, eventually figured most of it out thankfully. They also messed up all the screws, way too may 25mm and 30mm screws and only half the 40mm and 50mm screws required.
@@davedoyle368 HaHaHa, I know its ridiculous, agreed on the screws, plus the felt I got was just one solid mass and totally unusable, had to go buy a whole other role for £40, had to build out one of the door hinges just so they could meet! which means I need to add weather protection for water ingress where I had to build out the hinge, they cant say its my joinery because its to their own pre-built door frame! so is it the door frame that was not square or the doors?, in this case It was the doors. add to that some of the shiplap is so warped that you can pass your hand right through to the outside so I'm going to have to try and seal this. I fear for anyone that has verry little experience with building things buying one of these. I've taken pictures and will be giving a scathing review, the only way this shed lasts 25 years is with intervention, not at all a quick or convenient shed build.
@@James-yy4vl Hey dude!, look.. if you have time? I would build your own and forget pre-built. the one I got will not see 2.5 years let alone the 25 year guarantee (im sure Forrest will disagree) I just needed one quickly and bought into the advertising, I have had to add lots of my own wood, locks and felt to this nonsense in order to make it feel more weather proof, if you live somewhere that gets driving rain, then it will drive through and on to your stuff inside. just take your time if you have time and build something you really want.
Instructions are really poor why send in about 30 different pieces of paper with 20 different sheds on it? Surely it would make more sense to send in individual instruction manuals for each shed? Think that’s really lazy on the company’s part
Agreed, being dyslexic makes this a nightmare, I think each stage is supposed to have a 'fixings pack' with corresponding pack code? but this is not the case, just one big bag of screws and fixings for you to make your own mind up about.
Bought one last week, the panels are all rough and fraying, theres nails coming through from shoddy work. Panels are bent and warp leaving big gaps. I wont be returning it as its took me about 6 hours to put together. Disappointed and instructions are a gimmic.
Mine doesn't have the bits to put under the plywood either I had to just attach it to the plywood which was an absolute nightmare it looks appalling, my roof felt ripped easily so I had to go buy a new roll from B and Q.
@@scotttaylor42 agreed, the pent roof sides don't reach all the way back leaving large gaps they are 44cm too short and don't look anything like the ones in this video. the doors are so warped I'm going to have to build new ones from scratch
@@scotttaylor42 was looking at the power pent shed video on here, looks a little better construction, I suppose like this one if what arrives on your doorstep is the same as what is in the video, I have some spare timber but if I wanted to set about building stuff I'd have done it from scratch, probably what I should have done but needed something quick, most irksome 😠. I could take pics and get in touch with their customer service, but they would probably just claim it was something I did and I would have months of a battle on and I need a shed now!. hope you get yours sorted mate!.
I've just had one delivered and I felt the same it's just rough sawn wood like you say pallet wood I've not built mine yet can't decide whether to keep or return
@@625Joeyes I had to measure the screws as the bags were not labelled, then I realised that the 25mill and 30 mill were in the same bag. Hope to finish the shed today
Bunch of cowboys.Don’t buy from this company.My dad was a joiner and Clerk of Works for fifty years.He bought a shed from this company and he’s never seen such poor quality in his life.He could have built something better himself but he’s ninety years old.
