Excellent product. 12 x 8 shed erected by two people in 3 hours ( no spring chickens either ! ) good quality, delivery exactly on requested time and driver extremely helpful . Only reason for 4 star instead of 5 star rating is that the wrong roofing felt kit was supplied and caused a lot of inconvenience but, much praise for Martin who did a great job in helping us with re supply.

Firstly, the overall experience from the website to the delivery and packaging to the overall component and build quality is terrific, and one I can definitely recommend. I have a few tips to share: If you’re planning on having a natural pine finish when it is built then take care how you move handle and store the components during the build to keep them clean Unpacking the delivered package and also many parts of the install are definitely two man jobs It took me 5 hours to move the parts to the build site (80 yards away). Then 1 day to build the cabin and get the roof on, and 1 day to finish the trim, felt the roof, protect the wood etc. Some parts didn’t seem to fit at first, however when tried another way on all did eventually fit The installation method suggests to make up the double door frame with both doors in and then lift it over 4 logs in the air to slide down into place…..phew no way we could do that due to the weight and we had to put the door assembly and doors in place piece by piece. the inside measurements when it is built are quite a bit smaller than the nominal size - if the inside area is important to you then make sure you check with Tiger which size you need. Also check the base area you need, it is also quite a bit smaller than the nominal size and you could save on concrete etc. I hope these comments help. Overall this was a first class experience – and a terrific quality construction for the money. I now look forward to my pent roof shed delivery from Tiger this Friday! Mike. Derby. 2nd July 2013.

I am very pleased with the 8ft x 8ft potting shed, the build quality is very good and assembly was no trouble. The delivery driver was very friendly and helped me carry the sections through to the rear of the garden and left the sections in the right positions for assembly. The price was lower than other sheds i had veiwed of this high quality. Can highly recommend Tiger sheds.

Service from order to delivery excellent. Easy to erect and sturdy construction. Hope to have many years of good use from this 7 x 5 Pent Shed. Two coats of paint inside and outside the shed now looks perfect in the garden.

Good communication throughout the ordering and delivery process and arrived on time. The shed went together well even on my own, no real issues even though the instructions could be written better. Overall, good quality shed and a good company to deal with, thanks!

Excellent service driver arrived within the specified time. Was very helpful with unloading and putting the shed in the garden ready for assembly. Apart from the time getting the base level the shed was easy to put up with the aid of my daughter. Now up and water tight keeping all out bikes and scooters tidy and dry.

Excellent quality shed. Delivered on time with helpful driver. Erected in a few hours mainly using my own screws after initially holding together with supplied nails. Had to round off the bottom of the front/rear sloping edge strips for safety. Would certainly recommend Tiger sheds for design, construction, delivery, price and ease of erection.

Bought a 7x4 foot Bike shed, you can get four or even five bikes in it - maybe six at a push! .There's also room above the bikes to fit a shelf which I might add to keep inner tubes and pumps etc.. Build quality excellent and delivery driver from Leeds very helpful.

Fantastic quality for the price. Well constructed and very easy to assemble. This 3x2 shed is ideal for the garden tools and looks the part in the garden. We will be painting it Duck egg blue and should be a good match to our summerhouse. Well done Tiger Sheds.

Shed took a little longer to arrive than specified on the website, but is very solid now it is here. Easy to errect (2-3 hours for 2 of us). Would definitely recommend. Just a note, we had the 12x8 version and the gable ends are serious lumps of wood. Access to the back garden (through a covered passage) was a challenge so check they'll fit before ordering... we went through the neighbours garden and over the fence!!!

Review of 8'x6' Apex Garden Shed: (1) Ordering and delivery: First Class 10/10: The ordering was very simple to do, your web-site and instructions on constucting the shed were excellent. You kept me informed of my orders' process and notified me of the delivery date. On my confirmation that I would be in, your driver arrived 20 minutes earlier than I expected, was very friendly, willing and delivered my shed where I required it. (2) Initial erection of the walls and roof: 8½/10: With the help of a neighbour it took 25 minutes from a level base to erect the basic shed. I've only allowed 8½/10 because when the screws were tightened up they squeezed the wood and cause pieces to be discharged between the outside of the wood and the pre-drilled hole. This occurred in 3 of the 8 bolts. SOLUTION: To prevent damage to the wood I suggest a large washer be placed under the head of the screw, so when tightening, the screw head does not damage the wood as it is turned and the washer will distribute the 'squeezing' of the wood during the tightening process. It may also be an advantage if the pre-drilled holes went through the over-lapped section of two over-lapped pieces of wood, instead of through a single piece of wood. There were 4 pieces of boarding 'out-of-line' on the door end, which necessitated removal of several nails, religning the wood and resetting the nails. SOLUTION: Better inspection required. This looked like a rushed job. Perhaps made last-thing on Friday? It diminished my impression of your company considerably. One of the eaves pieces of wood on the door panel was split by its fixing nail and should have been glued and pinned together with a small nail before leaving the factory. I rectified this error by using a panel pin. (3) Application of the Roofing Felt: 9/10: This was quite straight forward by firstly cutting the wide roll into half, rolling it up with the gritty outside rolled inside, so by placing the felt 'roll' on end of the roof, it was easily unrolled across the length of the roof. It was then 'tacked' in a couple of places ensuring the felt was level. [You suggest a slight overlap at the bottom edges, but I think that if the felt was applied to the roofing pieces before placing the roofing sections on the building, with about 6 " [150mm] wrapped around the bottom edge, the bottom edge of the felt would be trapped between the roof and side panel tops rathen that being left to just hang loose, when the roof is nailed to the ends] The top piece was fixed using felt-nails about 6" [150mm] apart (4) Fitting Barge Boards 8/10: The Barge boards could only be nailed at each of their ends as there was no place to fit a nail half way between the ends, because of no support between the top and bottom 'runners' of the roof. This allowed the felt to be loosely trapped in the centre section, but I suppose that will be adequate. Due to over-lapping of the felt at the apex, it would have been better if the roofing panels were 6mm out of line to allow for the thickness of the folded felt as the diamond piece did not fit flush to both roof pieces. (5) General appearance 4/10: I noticed that the boarding board not match at the corners, and discovered that at the height of the sides, there were 16 layers of wood on the front and back sections and 17 on the sides. Little wonder they didn't match. Poor design or wrong set up if you use jigs for assembly of the sides and ends. (6) Windows 2/10: Very poor design. There was no uprights at the extreme ends to fit the windows to. I wished I had ordered a windowless shed. SOLUTION: I had to ease out the over-lapping wood and sqeezed in a piece of 6mm wood about 50 mm wide, behind them making the two missing uprights of the window 'frame' I also fixed the window panels in with beading and panel pins and used a mastic between the window and the window frames and between the beading and perspex, hoping for a weather-tight fitment. (7) I also covered the exposed base ends rather than leaving them exposed for animals to hide under the floor. Now the shed is finished and I've painted it with Cuprinol, it looks really tidy and I'm pleased with the final result. Unfortunatley all the niggly little bits which I've outlined above really destroyed my enthusiasm, but thankfully a bit of common-sense enable me to rectify your errors. I hope you take on-board my criticism which has been forwarded for your benefit in the future. My final assessment would be a 7/10, but it would have been higher if I didn't have to rectify errors in desgn and manufacture. Yours sincerely Mike Cockett
