“If you want to break up with your partner this is the shed for you, the arguments that this has caused, “easy”shed my ass, it was the devil reincarnated.”
“I would not recommend this company. Our panels turned up dinted and deeply scratched.
Contacted customer service and their solution was to send a tin of spray paint because it's structurally sound. We did not pay for a dinted and scratched shed. Spray painting panels will result in patchy discolouration from the sun.
Very disappointing as we like to support Australian owned and operated businesses.”
“EasyShed, more like ReallyFreakingDifficult Shed. Our 3.75x1.9m skillion shed promised 4 hours installation. We are now entering our third day of this DIY nightmare 🤬. Nothing about this shed has been easy. Drilling together layers of sheeting is incredibly frustrating as the metal underneath just warps and bends. The instructions recommend using a perfectly sized piece of wood to help, but did they provide said piece of wood? No. We resorted to raiding our son's puzzle set for different sized blocks just to coax the screws into place. Just getting my head around the instructions and checking off all the parts took a good hour or two alone. None of the sheets were labeled, so I had to go through them all and measure them to identify them. Thankfully the channels and joiners were named, but a couple of them were illegible. The doors were really difficult to put together, a lot of force was required, and then they didn’t fit well. Putting together the panels required 1-2 people, but putting the walls and roof together needed 3-4 people at times (unless you conveniently have some long planks of wood lying around). We initially wanted to hire someone to assemble our shed, but found it incredibly frustrating that EasyShed couldn’t put us in touch with an installer in our area, probably because they’re smart enough to avoid this rage-inducing ordeal. Plus I’d hate to think what they would charge for so many hours of work! Our decision to try and save a few bucks by installing ourselves was futile, resulting in arguments, physical pain, swearing and calling in family favours to help out. I would not recommend installing an easy shed to anyone.”
“The shed itself is great, BUT THE INSTALL IS A NIGHTMARE. Easy shed by name but not eashy shed by install. We had to hire a professional to help install the shed even when my husband is a competent tradie who knows how to use a drill, attach the shed to itself and the concrete. Make sure you have HELP!!”
“Bike Shed Model EBS-2308
The name ‘easyshed’ is a misnomer and assembling the shed is about as far from easy as you can get. This has been the most difficult and frustrating item I have ever assembled and it is physically demanding.
Criticisms
Prior to purchase there is no information informing you that all parts are not pre-drilled, you will have to drill all the holes yourself. Parts include 197 screws and 59 pop rivets, which will require you drilling holes through several layers of metal. Physically demanding! If you don’t have a pop rivet gun you will have to buy one.
Tools listed as required included a step ladder, I don’t know why, and failed to list 4-5mm spacers and duct tape. Also essential and not listed is an impact driver for inserting the screws, or another power drill with a torque control, otherwise you will have blisters using a hand screwdriver.
The instructions listed all parts and part numbers, which should have been printed onto each part. Some parts had the number printed clearly, some had an unintelligible number and some had no number.
Front, back, sides and roof panel dimensions should match the corresponding U channels dimensions. They didn’t always resulting in struggling to get parts matched up prior to screwing together.
When fitting the internal door slide bolt the overhang dimension is wrong and then fitting the hasp is physically impossible till later in the assembly.
When assembled the doors sag and there is no way this can be prevented, so the door slide bolt and hasp previously fitted do not line up.
Positioning the roof hinges to the back top rail in the positions indicated in the diagram is not possible as these areas have protruding screw heads.
Assembly time took me into a 3rd day.
I cannot recommend anyone buying this product and if I could give it a zero rating I would.”
“Can't leave no star!
The worst shed I have ever seen. It's so tough to assemble. Instructions were completely vague! No sign, no marks. That is just terrible.”
“The term Easyshed is a misnomer, the opposite is really the case. The instructions are difficult to follow and because I am not a handy person I had someone from Airtasker come to put it all together and he had a lot of difficulty both in following the instructions and putting it all together, he spent many hours working on it before the job was completed, it entailed a lot of wrestling and forcing parts together. The end result was far from perfect despite many hours of hard work and great effort to put it all together, spanning over 3 whole days. I wish I never bought this shed. It was a big mistake which I very much regret.”
“Thank all EasyShed staff for the great service I experienced from you.
I found Lette as a very understanding and ready to help.All these proves to me that Easys
hed has got the best management and they all worke as a family team.
I know what I'm saying as I was marketing Officer/manger for Nearly twenty-five years.
Once again thank you all in EasyShed Co.”
“Avoid like the plague
sheets were cut wrong size, its a real pain to try and get it straight. Its a lot of work to put together. A lot of wrestling and forcing parts together. Its a shame. I wish I never bought this shed. I took mine to the Tip I am that unhappy with it. It shouldn't have to be like this.”
