Easy ordering process. Shed arrived on time with no hassle within a 2 hour delivery window. instructions were clear, parts fitted together well and the shed seems of good quality. It looks really good. Completely happy with Tiger Sheds so far.

Built many sheds over the years and can honestly say the product I bought from Tiger sheds (10x6) is the best quality by far.

Delighted with the shed, much better quality than others I have purchased online in the past. Special mention to the delivery man Tom and installer Alan Storey, very professional and exceptional customer service from both of them, thank you. I would not hesitate to recommend or buy from again.

Very pleased with the shed. As seen. on your web page. Delivered on time & a very helpful driver. My neighbour gave me a hand to erect it as it was a very windy day so we had a bit of a problem but it was all erected in 4 hours. The only downside was the nails holding the window frames strut had not gone through the wood & was sticking out side of the window strut but all in all I would certainly recommend your shed

Big thanks to the delivery guy who turned up early and helped me put the panels in my back garden, much appreciated! Took us 1.5 days to erect the workshop after a few modifications but I'm well pleased with it. We did not use the supplied nails to hold the panels together apart from the edging strips, I used timber drive screws as they look better with a green phosphate coating and they don't rust like the chromed bolts supplied. Did the same with the roof panels by screwing a batten inside, used countersunk screws to hold the battens to the roof panel and a timber drive screw through the batten to the walls. You have to be careful laying out the roof felt as there is little room for error, there was just enough for the job width wise, so where the apex of the roof met I sealed the overlap with a good helping of roof sealer. The recent rain has proved it watertight. Overall very pleased, the doors opened perfectly on the first fitting, small bit of re-alignment to make the roof look even and that was it. Brilliant!

Excellent quality, friendly helpful delivery, easy to erect. The roof panels couldn't nail together very easily so that's why 4 rather than 5 stars. But still a blooming good shed.

Bought a bespoke 10 x 8 shed with door on the long side and no windows. Nothing was too much trouble. Really efficient ordering and kept well informed of due delivery date. Delivery man was great, really helpful and gave some top tips. Aided by a strong bloke, the 2 of us put it together in about 4 hours. It is huge. Head height inside is fantastic. Quality of the materials is first class. I have treated it inside and out with a wood treatment and put an extra layer of felt on the roof!! I would highly recommend Tiger Sheds. Can't fault them in any way. Thank you

Very good shed. Went together well. At first the driver nearly delivered the wrong size shed because the wrong one had been put on the lorry. However the driver sorted the problem out and got the correct shed delivered the same day. Both drivers helped me stack the panels in my back garden past some scaffolding obscuring the way. Very pleased with the service.

Prior to 10 X 7 shed arrival I looked at all options to build a secure and dry base. I decided to use bearers as laying shed on slabs or concrete allows heavy rain to soak the shed floor. When searching round I found 150X65X2100 mm concrete window lintels were far superior and rot free compared to timber. Visited a few local building merchants and they averaged about £16 each but found internet prices were about £6 each. Tiger suggest using 6 bearers but at £6, I laid down 11 but did not adjust until shed floor arrived and will explain this part later. Because I ordered the extra sized heavy frame the panels were much heavier than normal and the driver helped me position them round the base and he gave a few good tips and much appreciated. I laid the two section floor on the concrete lintels and adjusted making sure of levels and square on. 2100 mm lintels were a perfect fit for base leaving 25mm overhang both sides. I removed base then laid a concrete mix between bearers away from sides to steady levelled to perfection and still allowing vital airflow. I decided to spray panels that day and started erecting shed the next morning. After reading instructions I decided to put all sides on, bolt home but did not nail down frame until roof was fitted after reading on the net this can be a problem. The shed was complete after a couple of hours and neighbours have said it is solid construction with no movement or creaking when walking on the floor area. Obviously the extra strength frame and extra concrete lintels helped tremendously. Last week it rained and I decided to install a water butt. Unless you buy shed gutters that clip on to eve of roof and rip the felt I opted for Wickes own brown mini-fit gutters, were expensive and 100 litre water butt £19.99. Problem from shed sides the clips are not long enough so I improvised and used cant rails that you would use for featheredged boundary fencing. They are just less than 50mm depth and tuck nicely up to roof structure, and cut to size between side panels beading that came out as 2960mm each. Before fitting to shed I screwed on gutter brackets with fall to drain sides and measured out so stopend cap and stopend drain fit close to shed barge boards. With the gutter system built I cut noggins of cant rail to fit the opposite inside adjacent to out gutter rail and pre-drilled pilot holes. I offered the cant rail and fittings to shed and making sure the felt was suspended in the gutter and held it in position. My wife was on the inside of the shed and put screws through pilot holes and secured to outer cant rail. After checking and putting more screws to secure, I then secured noggins to the frame and repeated action on other side of shed. The rain butt is now positioned at the rear of shed so drain pipe is only 100mm high and two micro-fit downpipe bends as to divert towards centre of shed with slight fall. The downpipe bends on Wickes micro fit are 112 degrees so I cut short on drain pipe as not to overshoot water butt. Fitted bend and angled into water butt and fitted the end bit called water pipe shoe. I opted for brown guttering but grey is cheaper but just your preference. I am very pleased with the build quality and ease of construction and would recommend Tiger Sheds.

Once you have a helper to hold the panels, it was the easy to erect. Went together easily. Also please pass my thanks to your driver.

I purchased this to replace an old shed of ours that had fallen to pieces. Pleased to say this one is very sturdy, extremely well made and easy to put together. Add this to a very satisfying service from both the people in the office and the driver on the day and you have an excellent company to do business with.

I am really pleased with this shed. Delivery was a little longer than 10 days however we live way down in Devon and everything takes longer to get here anyway! The shed itself is well designed & constructed. The timber is solid and good quality and once the shed (8x6) had gone together I was amazed how much room was available inside.... certainly enough for everything I was planning to use it for and more. Two things that slightly irritated me were discovering Tiger had supplied a couple of bags of nails to fix it together and the other was the window fittings. I don't understand why after going to the lengths they do to produce a good quality shed, Tiger insist on supplying useless nails for construction? Screws are the only thing that should be used on a shed this heavy. A trip to B&Q and twenty quid later fixed that. As for the windows (also mentioned by other reviewers), I don't see why Tiger couldn't have supplied a few feet of cheap beading to help hold the glass in. Their method just leaves the whole thing looking unfinished. Anyway, again on the same trip to B&Q, some beading acquired along with some silicone sealant. Now I have watertight, finished windows. All in all, really very happy with the shed (which get’s five stars), however baffled as to why Tiger would think it's ok to skimp on screws and beading to save themselves a couple of quid when they have put the time and effort into manufacturing a lovely solid shed.

This is a review for the 10x8 Heavy duty apex shed. Great shed well built, well delivered, good customer service. This is a big heavy shed my daughter (30) and me built it. Forget all the comment you see in these reviews about "assembly in two hours including tea breaks " bellony it took us all day none stop. Recomend you throw away the 65mm and 38 mm nails provided and use same size screws. These went in well using a power drill. Big problem was the roof. Getting it up there and then making everything fit. Any slight out of line at the base is amplified at the roof. At this point the £170 installation service that we had declined looked great value for money. Eventually sorted it but do not like the method of fixing the apex. Took advice from previous reviewers and went for £80 toughened plass option and amazed that tiger still only provided panel pins to fix the glass. Sourced some beading from Home Base. Not sure if we srewed the shed together too tight but the edge strips are much too big for the gaps? Security bar £40 well worth having. Overall a great shed

REALLY great shed !!! - Really impressed with the quality and the size is great. I'm 6ft 5" tall, it gives me plenty of room to access everything needed with no ducking down or stooping to go through the door - Excellent !! My wife and I were able to put it together in an afternoon. (Definitely a job for two people - due to the size of the panels ours was 8x8). Delivery was a day later than expected - they telephoned in advance to advise of this and left all panels behind the garden gate as instructed. Only one minor criticism - A few more nails would have been good - maybe I was over zealous in hammering it all together. Also, 1 coach bolt was missing from the pack supplied - used one of my own though so as not to hold the build of it up. Will definitely be ordering from Tiger Sheds again for my next shed !

Delivery was right on time and the driver was helpful and knowledgeable, especially as the weather was awful on the day! Very good quality and two amateurs found it pretty easy to put up between us (8x7 definitely needs 2 people). Head height is amazing, it's like another room! Very pleased with everything from start to finish. Kasp lock with brass padlock is probably better suited than the circular lock, which I have found a bit tricky to fix.
