“Corner Post warped. 2 split.
8mm felt nails too short. Had to purchase 13mm.
Numerous splits and knot holes.
Door clasp screws too long. Hit each other(inside to outside). Quality poor.
Drill sizes quoted wrong. 5mm too big for roof screws.
Shire Customer Support not helpful. Cannot respond to technical questions.
Happy to review when complete.
Bigger project than expected.”
“Loved the challenge of building this gazebo summerhouse. There were a few moments between interpretating the instructions and acheiving the result but it was just a case of stepping back, having a good look and thinking. Built and painted it by myself. Hardest bit was putting the roof on but again just a bit of thought and preparation and it all came together. We are very pleased with it. Had to reposition a few nails which had not been aligned correctly but otherwise all good. The Protek paint gives it a great finish both inside and out.”
