Great product
Once a delivery date was finally agreed, on the day of delivery no time slot was notified we just had to wait, but when it did arrive it well packaged and the delivery man was very helpful. The shed was very easy to assemble with full instructions. There was only one issue there was not enough felt nails provided so we had to buy more, but now up and very sturdy and everything fits correctly very pleased.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you’re pleased with your shed and that it was straightforward to assemble, with everything fitting together correctly.
We’re also glad to hear that our delivery driver was helpful and that your shed arrived well packaged. We’re sorry that you weren’t given a delivery time slot and that there weren’t quite enough felt nails included — we appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will take your feedback on board.
It’s fantastic to hear that your shed is now up, sturdy, and working perfectly for you. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope you enjoy your new shed for many years to come!
Poor quality, poor service.
I suppose you get what you pay for, and this shed is cheaper than most, and it is clear why. It’s incredibly poor quality. The overlapping cladding is very thin, almost cardboard like. It’s about half the thickness of another shed I have. The entire shed is very flimsy and part of the door is split. I can’t see it lasting very long.
In response to Shire’s reply. There’s absolutely nothing on the advertisement which calls it part of a “value” range. Don’t make excuses for terrible quality.

We’re sorry to hear that you remain unhappy with your purchase.
We have responded to the concerns raised and offered assistance, including replacement parts and further investigation to establish the cause of the issues reported. Unfortunately, the assistance offered has been declined.
If you would now prefer to return the building for a refund, please contact our Customer Service team. We will be happy to assist with the return process and arrange the refund once the Value 3x5 Overlap Shed has been dismantled and is ready for collection.
Please contact our team once the shed has been dismantled so we can arrange the next steps.

Thank you, Adrian, for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic 5-star review.
We’re delighted to hear that you found us helpful throughout the design process and that you’re pleased with both the quality of your new building and the installation service.
It’s great to know that the whole process, from design through to delivery and installation, met your expectations. We’ll be sure to share your kind feedback with the team, as it’s always appreciated.
Thank you again for choosing Shire, and we hope you enjoy your new building for many years to come!

Thank you, Joanne, for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and, in particular, that you felt there was a lack of communication around your delivery.
We appreciate that, when you’re expecting a delivery, you should receive clear and timely information about when it will arrive. We’re sorry that this wasn’t the case here. While your delivery was being handled by our third-party transport partner, we recognise that your order was with Shire and that we should still make sure you have the information you need throughout the process.
We’re also disappointed to hear about the condition in which the shed arrived. Water staining, chips and splits in the timber, along with the packaging being affected by bird mess, are certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive your new shed in this condition.
We’d very much like the opportunity to look into these concerns and make sure any appropriate issues are addressed. If you haven’t already been in contact with our support team regarding the condition of the panels, please do get in touch with your order details so we can investigate this further.
We’re genuinely sorry that your experience did not meet the standard we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you’re happy with the shed, although we’re very sorry that your delivery experience fell short of the standard we expect.
We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to take a day off work, only for the delivery not to arrive as expected and without clear communication. We’re also sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced when the delivery was eventually made.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll make sure your feedback regarding the delivery service is shared with the relevant team, as clear communication and a smooth delivery experience are just as important as the quality of the product.
Thank you again for choosing Shire, and we hope you enjoy your new shed.

We’re sorry to hear that you’ve experienced an issue with your summerhouse door and understand how frustrating it must be when you’re looking for assistance.
We did respond to your enquiry and, after reviewing the photographs provided, identified that the building shown was an Alora summerhouse rather than the 3x5 Overlap SD Value building supplied through Wayfair. As the Alora was purchased through a different retailer, we advised you to contact the retailer you purchased it from so they can assist with the issue and arrange any appropriate support.
We’re sorry for any confusion this may have caused and hope the matter can be resolved for you as quickly as possible.

I was only informed less than 24 hrs before I was due delivery of my purchase that it wouldn't be delivered on the given date. I was then told I would receive a confirmation email (after learning they hadn't even taken my email address previously) of the next delivery date. I had to chase this up again 24hrs before date given. Thankfully it did arrive on the 2nd date given but I had arranged for a tradesman to erect the summer house and had to cancel due to non delivery, now I am having go wait until he has another free slot.

Hi Wendy,
I’m sorry your delivery was rearranged at such short notice and that you had to chase confirmation of the new date.
To clarify, the order details we receive from Tesco include the order number, telephone number and delivery address, but no customer email address. We should have checked this with you when booking your delivery so we could send confirmation.
Although your summer house arrived on the rearranged date, we understand the disruption to your plans and the frustration of now waiting for your tradesman to be available again. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.

I wouldn’t recommend buying this shed/ summer house. When we ordered it, it showed as delivery in 1-2weeks it was only after they took our money we were informed there was issues and ending up waiting 2months It arrived with huge holes and cracks in the wood and has leaked every time it has rained. We reached out to the seller just for them to take weeks to get back to us to say they can not see an issue and just close the case, even after we sent them photos detailing everything. Poor product, poor customer service. Honestly regret buying this

Our team reached out to you this morning to follow up and explain the additional information needed to look into the reported leaks and timber issues further. We appreciate that you’ve already supplied photographs, and we’re sorry this wasn’t made clearer in our earlier response.
We would welcome your reply so we can continue reviewing this and advise on the next steps.

Dear Mrs Greene,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the condition of some of the timber supplied with your log cabin. We understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly when you were looking forward to getting the cabin built and were then faced with split and bowed panels.
We are pleased to hear that you were able to locate the missing panel, but we appreciate that this does not take away from the concerns you have raised regarding the condition of the wood.
We would still be more than happy to arrange replacement timber for any panels that have arrived damaged or are unsuitable for use. If you have not already done so, please send us the part numbers and quantities required, along with photographs where possible, and our team will be happy to look into this for you.
We are sorry that your experience has fallen short of the standard we aim to provide and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention.
Kind regards,
Shire

Look for a better alternative than these guys.
Timber trims delivered warped. Shiplap nailed to one of the frames wonky. Foot nearly gone through the floor. Roof needs extra support as the 34x34mm timber is not structurally strong enough. Windows wont shut after 3 months old.
Customer service is more interested in if it’s been treated at 3 months old rather than dealing with the structural issues and poor quality.
Don’t expect much and you won’t be disappointed.

Dear George,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with your building, including the warped timber trims, uneven shiplap, flooring, roof support and windows. We appreciate how frustrating this must be, particularly with the building being relatively new.
We also apologise if our previous response, asking whether the building had been fully treated, gave the impression that we were overlooking the other concerns you had raised. This was not our intention. While treatment can be an important factor in maintaining a timber building, we understand that the issues you have described need to be properly considered in their own right.
We would like the opportunity to review these concerns further and work with you towards a suitable resolution. If you could continue to provide any relevant photographs or videos of the issues, our team can assess these and advise on the appropriate next steps.
We are sorry that your experience has not met the standard you expected, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.
Regards,
Shire

Unfortunately
Unfortunately, the shed when it arrived had been poorly coated. I understand it’s got to be repainted afterwards but there was places completely missed and the felt for the roof had one large tear at the beginning and one of the other pieces had a whole completely in the middle

Besvarelse fra Shire Garden Buildings
Dear Alan,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
I’m very sorry to hear that the shed arrived with areas of the coating missed, as well as the damage to the roofing felt. While our dip-treated sheds are intended to receive further treatment after delivery, the coating should still be applied consistently, and the roofing felt should arrive in good condition.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and would like the opportunity to put things right for you. If you could please send us a few photographs showing the missed areas of coating and the damaged felt, our team can review this and advise on the next steps.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused, and thank you again for bringing the issues to our attention.
frustrated.
hinges were missing and broken end piece (just knotty wood)
So the missing hinges that were re-sent within 2 days and arrived safely.
And the replacement for the damaged end piece.
Thank you.
However I was discussing with you the generally shoddiness of the production and sent you pictures.
Nails sticking out (lucky to not cut myself) due to completely missing the wood it was meant to be securing.
The marking all over the front of the door due to the process of clearly stating door when wet from treatment process. Even now with coats of stain this marking is very obvious.
I can send photos again.
As you explained you had to pass this to B&Q to see what could be done. I was asking for a gesture of some refund for the quality of the product.
Did you hear back from them?

Hi Simon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry that the overall finish of your building has left you feeling disappointed.
We’re pleased that the missing hinges were sent within two days and arrived safely, along with the replacement end piece. We also appreciate you providing photographs of your remaining concerns regarding the nails and the marking on the door.
These concerns have now been reviewed and we have responded to you directly. Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer the partial refund or goodwill payment requested, although we are sorry that we could not provide the outcome you had hoped for.
