Great shed. Delivery was brilliant. The driver very helpful and got it right to the front of our allotment. Slight problem with the base as 4 of the timbers were missing! So disappointed. I rang cus... See more
The shed was as expected and properly delivered. It was disappointing that the timber items were not pre-drilled or even marked and I needed to use a saw to reduce some timbers to the right size. Th... See more
The shed was installed and leaked rain within 24 hours of its erection. As its price was almost £1000 I was very upset. It was then treated for me with 2 heavy coats of preservative and cracks in the... See more

Unprompted review
Extremely poor service
Ordered the shed 2 weeks ago, website said it was in stock, as did the email response, and delivery within 5-10 working days. Delivery booked for the 8th, only to be told late on the 7th that they didn't have any in stock and it won't be delivered. Extremely poor customer service to be told less than 24hrs before delivery they don't actually have it in stock. The delivery time-frame was the main reason i ordered from this website. Misleading and extremely frustrating.

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate how frustrating this must have been.
Unfortunately, as the delivery is arranged directly by the supplier, we were not made aware of the stock issue until they advised that the delivery could not go ahead. We sincerely apologise for the short notice and the disappointment this caused.
Kind regards,
The Buy Sheds Direct Team
A good value shed
A very good robust shed. I found it a bit confusing at first as the instructions show different types of shed, but once I found the right one it was easy to construct. It’s a two person job so don’t try it by yourself. I didn’t need the third roll of roofing felt as two was enough, with room for overlapping, so I’ll use that for another project. Now that it’s finished it looks great. My one and only niggle would be that I found the door hinges and padlock clasp were not very good quality ( in my opinion ), so I had to go out and by some stronger ones.

Terrible quality product
Terrible quality product, fade marks, rough, warped doors, screw sticking outwards on a panel. shrinkage already so can see daylight between panels. I was offered replacement panels and the initial one just arrived on door step (no delivery info) and I’ve had to pay additional bill to get builder to replace. Apparently it’s usual to have fade marks - it’s obviously been left outside and strips of fade on doors. Would recommend- was advertised as premium product with 25 years safe use instead have to push doors at sep places to shut and had to buy wood and filler to deal address gaps.

Graham the driver was polite
Graham the driver was polite, very helpful and smart. He helped me put the shed into my garden and had lots lots time to ensure it was neat and tidy.
A good experience.

Easy purchase and the website was easy to navigate. John Doogan delivered the shed on time and called me 1 hour beforehand .. nothing was to much trouble for him when he was unloading. Product is great, the generic build instructions are a bit confusing, but I managed to get it build with a combination of the online video and the paper instructions. Overall very pleased with my purchase. Thank you

Very Disappointed with Shed Quality
Very Disappointed. I ordered a 4 x 6 Shiplap Apex shed. The delivery was prompt and the delivery man was very helpful unloading in just the right spot.
However the shed itself is a very poor product. The shiplap wood is often rough and in some cases split. In many instances the shiplap tongue does not fit into the next boards groove leaving a gap along the seam. The boards have obviously been nail gunned to the batten at speed so in a number of instance it hasn't gone in properly and the nail is protruding from the batten inside the shed.
Over all very poor quality control.
