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!!!

Excellent shed. Very easy to build. I built it myself in around 3 hours. By far the best quality by price comparison on the net. Would definetly buy from Tiger Sheds again.

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

Shed was delivered at the stated time. I was out but my son was there and the driver put everything where he asked him to. Took approx. 2 hours to erect on my own, though advisable to have some help. Well constructed and a solid finish. Plenty of fixings supplied. Very pleased with the end result and would recommend without hesitation

We have just had a custom made Shere delivered on a Friday and erected last Tuesday by Will and his excellent team. We have had first class service from start to finish with Tiger Sheds and I can highly recommend them. We have had many glowing comments already from friends who have seen the cabin. Electrics in today and furniture arriving tomorrow. The cabin looks great and really enhances the garden. Thank you to all concerned.

Purchased a 6 by 6 potting shed with the heavy duty frame upgrade. Kept informed of progress and the order was delivered efficiently within a 2hour time slot. A good quality product that was easily constructed. Though adequate an option for a thicker cladding might be useful. However I have no problem in recommending this company.
