Absco Shed Space Saver Double Door Surfmist 3.00 x 1.52 x 2.08m

The shed seems ok but the instructions are poor and not all the parts seem to fit quite right. Requires a bit of creative freedom. Had to add extra parts to sturdy it up. Also quite frustrating that screwa across the door are steel and stand out against the woodland grey. Should come with a touch up paint set.Although it's meant to be easy for and I've built sheds from scratch myself, this took us the better part of a whole day to complete.Overall the shed is ok but it's really just a shed. At one point we remarked that the instructions should come with divorce papers. Definitely not a 1 person job. Very few of the pre drilled holes line up and many aren't fully punched.Anyway the shed is up now and attached to raised flooring which makes it more solid and ... MoreThe shed seems ok but the instructions are poor and not all the parts seem to fit quite right.

I was often thinking of Tomb Raider and Medal of Honour as I worked through the parts list, box of bits, instructions and online videos for this shed assembly, trying to interpret it. I have 15 years building experience. Pictures are often too small to clearly see what they mean. Also we assembled the wooden floor, on a level foundation and then went to stand up the walls. Apparently pine shrinks when it dries out because the floor was 1cm smaller than the metal shed on every side, almost overhanging the wooden base. Tradetested, you need to research this so that the floor is much closer to the shed size when dry, not when you are cutting the wet timber.The instructions show the tech screws attaching the roofing, screwing through the ridges of the sheeting. Not ... MoreI was often thinking of Tomb Raider and Medal of Honour as I worked through the parts list, box of bits, instructions and online videos for this shed assembly, trying to interpret it.

Tradetested, you need to research this so that the floor is much closer to the shed size when dry, not when you are cutting the wet timber.The instructions show the tech screws attaching the roofing, screwing through the ridges of the sheeting. Not true because they are not long enough. It took us days to assemble everything. If you add in the cost of the time, I'm not sure its good value, though it is indeed big for a garden shed. Also note that you need to add some timber framing to the inside if you wish to have shelves, hooks or racks. This is just thin iron cladding screwed together, almost no actual structure just short pieces of U channel and bracing. We had a light breeze when assembling. We therefore needed some external diagonal braces, extra planks and clamps to keep the walls from folding in the middle and array of support drums, platform and a ladder. Screwing the roofing on without getting on the roof is a puzzle in itself!If you use the wooden floor supplied, DO Not put a nail in the outside corner of the outside floorboard, as later you will be trying to slide a steel corner brace under that corner!

I bought this to use a secondary shed to store my garden accessories. I was dissapointed that I had to redrill quite a few holes as they hadn't been done during manufacturing. There were dents where they should have been however not drilled right through.Also many of the predrilled holes did not line up correctly, making the installation quite difficult. When installing the roof there weren't any holes at all predrilled in the upper back panel framework to connect the roof, we had to do these ourselves.To be honest, I feel that quality control was either non existent or very haphazard at best.We ensured that everything was fully square prior to installing the roof and noticed that we need to manipulate the door to get it to close as it touches against the left ... MoreI bought this to use a secondary shed to store my garden accessories.
