Absco Garden Sheds

Bad shed, took 2 months to arrive and then started failing 1 month after it was set up. Worst thing is that company kept ignoring me, I wrote a review on their webpage and they took it down so their clients wouldn’t know about my experience Show details

Very good shed for the price. It was perfect for our limited space. The only painful issue is the connecting screw holes which were 90% misaligned. We’re pleased with the installation instructions on the app Show details ·  1

Overall the garden shed is fine. It was a bit hard to erect with only 1 person however it’s together. It didn’t really line up and seemed uneven at the front but again got it sorted. Colour of choices were good. Didn’t get the one we originally asked for however didn’t know until it was put up and we got home. All in all the shed is good. No complaints Show details ·  1

The 'Absco basic shed' is fine for the price - the instructions were good, the holes all lined up (once I'd followed the instructions properly ;-) The 'snaptight' mechanism is ingenious and worked well. I did make a mistake with the door jamb assembly where at final assembly things didn't quite line up, I carefully checked my work and discovered… Read more ·  1

the error, reassembled it correctly and a-ok. Probably should have watched the video. If you think things aren't lining up properly, double-check your work. Docking one star as some of the punched holes were not fully punched, had to drill them out.

I don’t even think they warrant one star. None of the holes line up you have to drill your own. Roof beam panel out of line. Panels bent up top The wall is 10ml out, had to trim it. I’m glad l brought the Premium, god knows what the Basic one is like. I wouldn’t recommend anyone buying this brand shed, such poor quality. When you ring the… Read more

customer service you get onto an overseas call centre that take a message. They even admitted they don’t have quality control. Come on Absco you will have to pick up your act on the quality of your sheds.

We paid for the Absco Garden (Regent) shed from Bunnings (including installation) on 26th Oct '25. Since then 3 times the Install Easy guy has come to install 3 different packages of the same shed and each time he found defective parts and left our place without installing it. As usual install easy guy arrived at 11.30 am today. After 1 hour of… Read more

spreading out the parts of the Absco shed from the latest package, he found 5 parts were damaged. According to him, those were the exact same parts damaged in the last package. He told us that he will make a report about the damaged parts and send it to Install Easy. However, the end result is again, we are left high and dry, waiting for the shed to be installed. Please can you intervene and do something that we can finally have our shed. We are so so disappointed and frustrated with this entire experience!!

The holes for assembly don’t match. This product is very poor. To leave a review with the QR code doesn’t work nor the website to write a review… says a lot about their product! Show details

Extremely Disappointed with Absco Sheds Customer Service I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Absco Sheds has been frustrating enough to warrant one. I purchased one of their sheds recently, and the installation kit arrived with several spare parts missing—critical components that made it impossible to proceed with assembly. I contacted… Read more

their customer service immediately, expecting a prompt resolution. Instead, I was met with painfully slow responses and vague assurances. Days turned into weeks, and I was left with a half-assembled shed and no clear timeline for when the missing parts would arrive. To make matters worse, I tried to access their warranty information on the Absco website, only to find that the page wouldn’t load due to persistent website issues. For a company that prides itself on quality, this level of service is unacceptable. If you're considering Absco Sheds, be prepared for delays, poor communication, and a lack of transparency. I expected better.

Very difficult and confusing. Assembly was a night mare. Nothing lined up and it was very flimsy. No it is erected I find that there is a serious design flaw. There is an overhang on the front of the roof and it fits flush across the the back. Fitting flush at the back means it cannot drain off when it is raining so a shed tat leaks badly is what… Read more

I end up with. My only alternative now to make it waterproof I will have to put a sheet over the roof section to facilitate drainage. Very disappointing for the price and design flaws.??

A nightmare to put together! Holes don't align or aren't drilled! Ridge capping didn't align, video instructions don't give orientation and was incorrect at times etc etc. My advice would be don't put yourself through the torture of buying one of these sheds. Very disappointed that it is Australian made and owned! Show details

This product is hopeless shouldn’t be allowed to be sold! None of the pre drilled holes line up, the quality of the tin is terrible! So disappointed with this product Show details

Not the best – Shed turned up at 7:30am on a Saturday without any notice. None of the pre-drilled holes were even close to lining up, shed is very flimsy and will need added reinforcement. Followed video guide to the letter. Would I buy one again? No unfortunately not. Show details

A mate and I erected this shed over 3 days and the result is very pleasing. It went together for the most part, very well according to the instructions. The Snaptite assembly system is very good and makes the assembly of the panels quick and easy. There was one exception to this, in that we found that the Sheets didn't always click down into the… Read more ·  2

Channels fully, particularly near the edges of the sheets. This wasn't a problem though as an extra screw would secure the sheet and channel. later on. Re. the Pre-assembly of Spliced Channels: Page 8 of the instructions, we felt it would have been helpful to say in the "NOTE:" that screws are drilled later in the assembly, though I know this would be a repetition of part of an instruction on Page 7. We never did find out where the 3/16" countersunk screws and nuts were intended to be used or did I miss that in the Instructions? Maybe it was to fix the door hinges to the door jamb. It would have been stronger than the pop rivets but we have stayed with the pop rivets. Having the shed bolted down with the 14 Dynabolts makes for a very rigid solid construction. I am very pleased with the result to the extent that I am putting in a double power point and a light.

Bought a classic cream Absco bike shed from Bunnings. Was glad it was in stock because it was a 6 week wait if not in stock. Had a very bad installation experience though. Got there in the end but it took 3 days for what should have been a simple install. One of the panels was the wrong size, was stamped 39D but was about 150mm too long but with… Read more

the 6 week delay to get a replacement, and the need for an urgent shed, I had to cut it down myself. There were screws (countersunk) in the pack which were not in the instruction's packing list. There were screws in the instructions (FAST005) which were not in the packing list or in the pack, had to improvise there. The instructions lack important detail such as is the picture a view of the front or rear and which is top or bottom. Lots of wasted time turning panels around. Many of the predrilled holes did not line up and had to drill new ones. There are two predrilled holes in the front doors which serve no purpose and let in water if not blocked up. The finished product was out of square (not because I had to cut down a panel) and the lid lips do not fit well. All up a poor quality product, poor quality control in the factory (wrong sheet, missing screws, etc) with bad instructions. I would not recommend Absco sheds.

Had my shed for 9 years and the base of one 6m side started to rust. I contacted Absco for replacement panels and was told they do not custom make. Custom make? I don't want custom made, just the same panel they supplied previously. I gave them a diagram of the profile and their only response was, to supply the part number. Part number?? Where… Read more

the hell am I supposed to get the part number from? Thanks for your help Absco. I then contacted Stratco and gave them a diagram of the profile and they got back to me with a drawn diagram of the profile they manufacture to give me an idea of what they supply and if it would work. This is the difference between a company that has customer care and one that doesn't. I know who I'll be dealing with next time I need a shed.
