sorted byThe first picture is when we made it. It’s literally a review left on the item and the other picture is 5 years later when I was selling it.
I had a bunch more pictures when I was selling it but deleted them all after it’s gone. All my other pictures are just family ones inside it etc.
In the end the shed and all its components were of good quality, came with everything i needed (except insulation and I also opted for a rubber roof). It appeared pretty much identical to a Tuin shed and i followed Tuins building guides and videos without issues. (They have masses of content on their site). Almost 3 years later and its still in daily use.
I asked some questions via Wayfair, and had a reply within 48 hours from the manufacturer. The door handle failed after 2 years (snapped spring, but the handle was attached to the backing panel and was a non standard size) and the manufacturer sent me a new handle from their factory in Eastern Europe by courier within 5 days. I didn't have high expectations of Wayfair but they've been decent.
I would recommend a slightly thicker walled shed than this one, mine is 44mm and with a 2kw electric heater and 40mm kingspan floor and roof insulation i've used it as an office when its been -7°c outside. i have another shed which is 28mm which wouldnt be any use in winter.... this one is 34mm which falls between the two, i'd call this a 3 season shed unless you want to put some extra work in.
all year round office then fair enough.
i know someone who got one like this then insulated it and then it was too hot in the summer and ended up with air conditioning in it.
It’s very hard to balance it properly.
Our one of these was brilliant for the 5 years we had it. Fairly decent in winter but depends on the garden layout too.
Here is a handy checklist of some of the main points to remember:
- Your shed should not be positioned forward of a wall that forms the principal elevation of the property.
- All sheds should be single-storey in nature.
- The eaves height should be no higher than 2.5 metres.
- The maximum overall height should be no higher than 4 metres for a dual pitch roof (all other roof options have a max height of 3 metres).
- If the shed stands less than 2 metres from one or more boundaries of the property, the overall height should not exceed 2.5 metres.
- In the case of designated land, planning permission will still be required.
- In the case of land in national parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and similar sites, any sheds or similar structures over 20 metres away from the house cannot take up more than 10 square metres.
- In the case of a listed building of any kind, planning permission will be required.
It is also important to note your shed should not be designed to provide sleeping accommodation. Any building that essentially marks a change of use for the property should be looked into in more detail.Do I Need Planning Permission For A Wooden Garden Shed? (sheds.co.uk)
So not only needs treating will also need a roof cover
we got a rubber sheeting and used industrial glue and never had a leak in the 5 years it was up. Not a drop through all the storms.
me and my dad did it in one day.
wouldn’t care the same if it was a £30 deal. (edited)
We had ours for 5 years without a single issue. No company came close to this and I’ve been looking for a few months.
No wonder the postmen are always on strike when they have to deliver stuff like this..
For nearly 3 thousand pounds you are buying a shed without a roof
small? It’s 3.8 meters long. And 2.5 in depth. We had a sofa and chairs and enough space for a play area for the kids with storage and a tv etc.
there is a roof. It’s just better to buy extra roofing. For more protection.
You Can buy a 10 litre tin of Demi Dekk for £120 and treat it for cheaper than buying any other summerhouse.
please show us all your idea of a good quality one for an affordable price.
I was over the moon with ours and can’t wait to get the new one up and enjoy it this summer. Kids love playing it in.
we never really had any problems with spiders and err. Ants? Where do you live.
I got free postage surprisingly. but maybe not for everyone considering where in the country you stay.
we just did it all the on slabs.
Up to you to decide if it’s a deal but…… it’s bloody cold out there even with heating this is BASICALLY A POSH SHED how they call them summerhouses is bit misleading
It’s just a shed 👎
there is a HUGE difference there.
I literally own this one. Had electricity installed for £300. Roofing for a little bit and paint to treat it. Then rubber roofing.
£7000? you got well and truly taken advantage of. (edited)
not everything is for everyone
best to buy this time of year when they aren’t in demand.
I have seen it change price about 8 times in the past while.
am I missing something?

However it’s a thinner wood in that one, which is a big thing for summerhouses.
Would we need to lay concrete or similar down, before building this?
We are away to order slabs and sand etc and dig the garden and lay a base for it. Like we did with our old one.
