Initial delivery date was changed. Elbec copied me into an email to Shire informing them of the new date, but Shire also emailed me advising I had to book through their system. I tried to reply to say a date was already set, but their email was no-reply so I booked and got a date two days later. When the summerhouse arrived, their driver was cheerful and friendly, but when he'd gone I discovered they'd sent the wrong base (6' x 4' not 6' x 6'). I contacted elbec who dealt with the problem quickly and efficiently; a week later Shire delivered the correct base. So I wouldn't rate Shire too highly for customer service, but elbec were good.

Very helpful delivery driver polite and on time. Goods all in the packaging BUT a bit more detailed instructions would have helped 2 pensioners in their 80's to build the arch.

Very good pergola for the price easy enough to put up,but you need two to put up the frame rest can be done with one person,the instructions didn't say what gap between the lats it's 40mm thought it was a bit to high cut the legs down by 9 inch just my personal preference added some fence panels to make it more private

My garden shed delivery date is today 10 sep 2025 was confirmed and today morning i was informed that delivery is postponed . I rang the customer services team of mercia as per email instructions from elbec garden buildings and was told that driver called in sick hence delays . I have expressed my displeasure and requested for compensation for delay as the delay has caused loss to me as i paid a private installer already and he is not available unless i pay again extra monies which is a huge loss. Mercia garden customer services team points out that i should read the fine print for any delays mentioned on their website and cannot help further and advised if i wish to cancel order then go ahead and do it with elbec garden building. overall very poor customer services and no guarantee that they will deliver what they promise neither can find any solution ,which is a shame. Already i feel that their product is going to be exactly as their customer service hence cancellation is necessary.I feel sorry for myself to have chosen this product or this company.

I purchased an Elite Compact Greenhouse, from placing the order over the phone, I found everyone very professional including the delivery. The greenhouse was complete and well labeled with only a couple of illustrations in the instructions needing some closer thinking

Haven't yet received my shed due to delivery difficulties. First delivery turned up without any notice and shed was damaged so I didn't accept it. Second order is due soon and still very poor communication re delivery date. Assumption seems to be that we will be home whenever they decide to turn up!

I purchased this product based on price and I knew in doing so that their would be compromises. It is a little flimsier that a more expensive summer house, however, the cost of a little extra bracing is far cheaper than paying for the thicker wall panel size. Overall, constuction was straight forward, there was an issue with the boards having a gap, around the window, which was resolved with replacing a few of these toung in groove boards with a slightly wider board (a small cost). The only other issue was the beading around the windows was too short. I contacted Elbec and they sent me a package with the correct size beading - which is now in place, so good customer service for Elbec. I still have the roof to go on; I have chosen to replace the supplied felt with corrugated metal for longevity and added strength, so for just less than 2000k I have a 3 x 4m summer house. Pretty good value if you ask me. I am very happy with the end result, once I paint it and get the roof and facings on it, sure it will look fab. If you are after good value for money and your are a handy person with tools, go for this.

The delivery was fine however the constructing instructions were dreadful difficult to understand and follow can I suggest you rewrite the instructions with a step by step guide / numbered to the apppropraite structures - to erecting the side green house my husband who was a steel erector and my son in law both found it extremely difficult to follow I.e put the rubber before putting together would certainly have helped

Very easy and straightforward to build. Needs about 3 people to make building it easier. Would recommend adding ply to the base as floor isn't very strong but for the price its a brilliant shed

No labling or numbers on parts for shed so no way to identify certain rails etc on instructions. Poor or no weather proofing on gaps betwees roof and sides, normally there would be some foam strips to prevent rain and wind getting in.
