Mercia 12 x 6ft Traditional Apex Greenhouse/Shed Combi

Cost me a lot more money having to buy extra bits to stabilise it. The items where poorly packaged we received a bag of nails with hundreds of nails all mixed up it was a nightmare to sort out. Disappointed for the cost it took a few days to erect and two people to do this. Disappointed the wood wasn’t pre treated for the cost of it. I like look of it now it’s up and the customer service team at Mercia where very nice and helpful to replace broken parts.

Once erected, this is a good shed / greenhouse - however, be prepared to improvise during construction as some of the instructions are not clear, so someone with experience to construct it is recommended. The quality of the timber is relatively low grade, with unfinished edges etc, and construction is not brilliant - much of it banged together with nails, some of which had to be hammered all the way in. The timber is dyed but NOT treated with preservative so this has to be done prior to construction. You will need mastic to seal the windows, and additional screws - we put extra ones in all around both the shed and greenhouse to give it additional strength, and used some additional timber to give it additional rigidity, to level up the greenhouse, and also seal a gap under the door etc. We bought better clout nails to put on the roofing felt as the ones supplied are quite small. The delivery company were excellent, and the driver helpfully brought it around into the garden for us (it was a one man, kerb side drop which is not what we were told by Wayfair). But all in all, we are pleased with the overall result and it looks very good in the garden. Planning to use teak oil following application of wood preservative to give it additional protection.

I got what I paid for, problems with rain and the roof window but I'm working on it. On the whole it's brilliant and it suits me and my 5 crafters down to the ground.

Better quality than I expected! Delivery company was great too. Wayfair was probably the weakest link in it all!
