I purchased a potting shed in June 25. Delivered with minor faults- nails protruding, window closers not fitted correctly etc (I am in the joinery trade so was able to rectify myself) I added preservative to protect the timbers before assembly and again straight after. However the door appeared to be warped, but because I had already treated the timbers, Elbec or Shire were not interested, yet they were also saying that if you DID NOT treat it then you HAD NO GUARANTEE. It seems to me that you can't win, that either way you HAVE NO GUARANTEE. Over the next few weeks they had me jumping through hoops, sending photo's and emails, all for nothing, they had no intention of sorting out the door, they told me that this was normal as all doors warp (All doors DO NOT warp and being brand new should not) This should have been sorted. Customer service very poor Avoid Avoid Avoid.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the disappointment you have experienced with your potting shed, particularly in relation to the door. As timber is a natural material, it is susceptible to movement, such as warping, if it is not treated and maintained with a suitable timber treatment. We understand you applied a garden shade product; however, this is not a preservative treatment. Garden shades are decorative coatings that require a primer before use to provide protection, and without this, the timber remains vulnerable to the weather. This is likely to have contributed to the issue you have experienced with the door. To assist, we offered to provide additional parts to help the door retain its shape and improve its function. We are sorry that this has not met your expectations, and we appreciate that this has caused frustration. Your feedback is valued and will be used to improve the support we offer, and we are sorry that your experience has not been more positive. Kind Regards, elbec Garden Buildings.

I really like the product, however, the design of the support beam for the roof is poor. When following the instructions the middle two panels sit higher than the end panels. Thankfully I had some wood from a previous job available and used it to strengthen and level out the beam. Also, needed to use some extra wood to brace the back panels - although held firm when the roof is on - I felt this was required for longevity. Otherwise, a lovely looking shed.

Overall a quality product, a couple of minor issues with boards being slightly damaged in transit, but repairable. Window rain resistance design could be better, but fixable with silicone sealant

Floor panel is very weak and flexes and cracks underfoot. The roof spar is very thin and doesn't add any stability to the roof boards which bow in the middle when assembled. The shed assembly is straight forward enough and well illustrated in the booklet. The overall finished look is good but you get what you pay for as regards structural strength with the materials supplied
