Powersheds 12 x 4ft Timber Tongue & Groove Security Apex Garden Shed

Like a number of other reviewers, I found Powersheds after being let down by poor service and false promises from another company. I rarely leave reviews but having struggled to find a reliable place to buy a new shed, I thought I would try and help anyone else in the same situation. I can honestly say I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Powersheds. Fantastic service, did everything they said they would, when they said they would, and always with a prompt response to phone and emails. My builders, who have done work for me for more than 10 years, put this together with no issues at all. They commented on the quality of they shed, noting they would be recommending Powersheds to any other customers who might ask their advice.

I bought this shed about a month ago and found that I literally built it within 3 days due to its incredibly easy guide and instructions. Not only is the product strong and of great value, the many sizes available really accommodated for the perfect fit for my garden and it is so aesthetically pleasing - I would definetely recommend getting this! If you would like to paint it, I strongly suggest buying the paints that are available as well, the colour turned out great and it brushed on easily.

On a positive note, I'm delighted with my shed. It is larger than expected and meets my needs perfectly. It is of solid build and of smart appearance, a tasteful addition to our outbuildings. The 10 x 8 foot shed took two suitably experienced men nine hours to put up, but this could have been shortened. There were some unnecessarily time-consuming issues. For example, two of the floor joists were not flush and had to be taken up, re-cut, and reassembled. Also, our flat-pack contained 2 or 3 unnecessary items (e.g., a narrow role of felt, and several redundant bits of wood). This caused us to waste further time trying to figure out where these surplus items were meant to be placed (the instructions and video demo weren't any help). The video was generally valuable, but it showed a smaller, simpler shed assembly, which wasn't much help for the 8 x 10 foot shed under construction. One final gripe: whilst Power Sheds clearly state in their sales literature that the delivery is 'kerbside delivery only', our driveway opens onto a narrow country lane with no kerb or pavement. Therefore, I had expected that the delivery would be made onto our wide driveway (every lorry in the 20 years we've lived here has been able to reverse into our property). But the delivery driver declined to reverse in and instead tried in vain to use the puny hand operated fork-lift to move the pallet into our property (it was unable to travel over the stone chippings). As a result, the pallet was left awkwardly abutting the lane, presenting a hazard to traffic. In summary, I would constructively suggest that greater care is taken when cutting the shed sections and also when preparing the flat pack assembly components. As for the delivery company, maybe a smaller lorry might work for properties with gravel/chipping driveways? Overall though, the issues were overcome and I'm delighted with the shed. Many thanks.

I could not fault the service or quality of this shed. Exactly what I was looking for and would recommend 100%!

Very pleased with the speedy service and appropriately packaged product with minimum waste. All parts in good order and with clear instructions. Having done plenty of research in advance of our purchase, we are very happy with the product, service and price. Happy to recommend this company to others.
