I ordered the Shire 13 x 7 pressure treated shed with Skyguard roofing material. Delivery of the shed was fine but the Skyguard was delayed by about a week, no problem as it took me that long to erect the shed on my own. Communication with Elbec was overall very good, they called me finally to check the Skyguard had been received. Overall this is a lot of shed for he price and I was expecting to make some modifications. Some timber had warp issues, one panel was slightly larger than the others which meant I had to modify the assembly slightly. The instructions from the manufacturer Shire are generally good but could be improved in places. Using quick release clamps makes assembly much easier, especially if you are doing this on your own. The pre-assembly of the roof panels needs to be clearer. Aligning the battens exactly on the roofing panel edges does not allow any room for slight variations in the frame ( inevitable on a structure of this nature). I also added extra screws in various places or replaced nails with screws. The end gables in my opinion need 34 x 34mm battens and I added this at each end - with an overlap at both ends, not just the front - the timber end panels screw into this through the roof covering more securely. Also at the door end I suggest adding 34 x 34mm timber under the floorboard ends to prevent damage to the edges ( this edge will get the most wear). However overall very pleased with the product for the price paid and the extra cost for my modifications were only about £20.
