YardMaster 6 x 5 ft Emerald Deluxe Metal Shed

Disappointed!!!

Delivery was quoted "shortly after lunch" - it arrived at 16:25!! As I'm disabled I had to pay 2 men to stand around for 4hrs doing nothing. When opened the men said it was impossible to erect at that late hour. They had to return 4days later, due to other jobs booked, to erect it, & it took them 6hrs - again I had to pay for their time a second time!! When erected, I was extremely disappointed at the flimsy, extremely difficult to open & shut sliding doors. This detracted from the pleasant appearance of the overall shed, and badly let down the whole point of ordering it. I would not recommend buying one of these until the doors are redesigned and more substantially made. Overall, very disappointed!! 3/10

Good Day Ken, Thank you for your review today. We try to be as accurate as possible with deliveries and often we can give an accurate window but we do not make promises due to us having many vehicles all over the country and traffic at times causing delay, usually we advise an "all day" delivery and this could mean the driver arriving late afternoon, due to this and other factors we always insist customers do not book in fitters to install the building on the same day as delivery. Once the building is installed on a level hard standing the doors should not rub and the panels should pull tight to maintain rigidity. Where you have further concerns please call our dedicated customer care team on 0121 355 7701. Thank you again for taking the time to review this product today. Kind Regards David.

Mechano fun!

I was impressed with the communication from the company but had to laugh that the delivery driver stored my box marked with a massive red arrow to indicate which way it should be stored - upside down lol I'm pleased with the final product - I'm not concerned if it's water tight as it has been erected in my car port. Putting it together was a bit of a challenge - if you like Mechano then you will love putting this together - did take 2 days and all the tiny bits were quite hard to identify. We marked them with a marker pen to make life a little easier Still good value for money though

Pretty good overall

Once assembled, am happy enough with the shed, and I would rate it excellent IF it were given further attention to detail by YardMaster. My points are not intended to put people off, but are as much for the manufacturer's attention. Delivery packing: Could easily be much better (and two separate boxes would make handling easier). Mine came in one oversize box that allowed items to slip around inside, causing some scratches. Watertightness: impossible to achieve without addition of some sealant in places. Most vulnerable areas are the 'ends' of the roof assembly. Instructions: reasonable if you're used to 'IKEA'-type, but some clearer drawings on the more complicated bits would make the interpretation easier. Screws & Washers: could be more generous with a few more to allow for losing the odd one. Floor Support Kit: simple and works well BUT requires the ends of each cross-piece (12 in my case) to be cut off because screw holes don't align otherwise!! Assembly Time: took me (an experienced and competent crafts-person) three separate days (it was wet November, mind). Doors: They do the job, but could be made less flimsy.

Hi alan B, thank you for taking the time to right a balanced review. We will pass your comments on to YardMaster who are always looking to improve the product whilst maintaining great value for money. If the screw holes do not line up we recommend slacking off some of the screws in the vicinity to allow a little 'play' in the metal sections which normally sorts this issue. If the screws are very tight initially it takes away any degree of movement. When all the screws are located correctly then just go back over them and tighten fully, but do not over tighten. Thank you for choosing GardenSite, and we hope to have you back as a customer again in the near future as your review is very helpful. Kind regards Robert Hall.

QUALITY PRODUCT AND EXCELLENT VALUE

Delivery was excellent, exactly as per my instructions. Assembly was straightforward, the finished shed being solid and it also looks well.
