Absco Garden Sheds Basic

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

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.

Perfect shed for my backyard – I selected by 2.25 x 2.25 metre garden shed from ABSCO after a detailed research of the market and found that this was the best size and quality available and at a much better price than any of its competitors. the shed came in all the standard Colorbond shades which was important for me as this wss necessary to ensure I complied with the terms of… Read more ·  1

the caveat s on my title. It was quite easy to assemble except for the optional window. The directions for this part came separately to the main assembly instructions and the quality of the photocopied page was not very good. I mucked up this aspect of the assembly but not that badly that it was of major concern. While it is not difficult to assemble, if you haven't done this sort of assembly before, I suggest that there would be significant benefits in accessing the Absco sheds app as well. I found the shed to be reasonably easy to assemble but you will need an additional pair of hands to help keep the panels in place when joining them on site. Many thanks to carlo for his kind assistance and advice.

Terrible after sale service – Purchased ABSCO reverse skillion shed Model: 23151RSK. Bought it from Bunnings all good. Page 17 of the instruction clearly states requires 12 anchors only supplied 8. Tried tried to ring ABSCO got an overseas call centre. Might as well not have an after sales contact number or email address. No reply to email that's why I called. First call was… Read more

to get help with holes not aligning was put on hold for 10 minutes while male person tried to get someone who could help, After waiting online he informed me no one could help. Second call regarding anchors spoke to female who could not help ask to be put through to some one in Australia. Got put on hold several time to finally be told I can not speak to anyone in Australia. Also missing channel joiner.

Wont use or recommend ABSCO as basically they don't care after the product has been bought and paid for. Had to get my builder to make a channel joiner and supply missing anchors and drill new holes.

I would rate them no stars if that option was available.

Clear breach of Australian consumer laws both state and Federal

Gardenpro - Quality and low price – Main points.... 20 year guarantee, Australia Bluescope steel, available for pickup in flatpack from Bunnings Wharehouse today. How can we go past that. Bunnings catalogue was advertising these sheds at $159. Masterstore 15081MK. We bought it because it matches our other two sheds. Got it home, one person can just carry it, but easier with… Read more ·  3

two. Well packaged, hand carry holes, opened flatpack box, didn't feel any sharp edge, but we bought garden gloves so will use.

Instructions offered, booklet and Youtube video. I found that screwing each rear and side sheets before adding rails, gave me two free standing corner sections that I could move around. Tap on bottom, then top rails meant I was looking good for a quick finish.

I screwed this to a wooden palet, so it is now free standing and stable. I put the front panel with top and bottom rails onto the 3 sided assembly. I found that a couple of longer screws came in handy for the top and bottom left corners.

The door hinge bolts required larger 4mm mounting holes to be drilled out. I was held up a little because I didn't have one, so later that day I came back and completed the build.

I moved it to the side of the house, bought some cream spray paint and now it looks like it was always part of our house.

Great little shed – Great little shed, easy to assemble. Was missing parts- bolt down brackets and bolts, a quick e mail and parts in the mail within a couple days Show details ·  1

Missing parts – On opening contents and checking with directions discovered two components missing. Contacted customer service and spoke with Mitch who was very professional and took me through the process of retrieving missing parts. Mitch kept in contact with the status of enquiry right up to confirming that parts had been delivered via tracking app and had we received them. This is excellent service in less than a week. Thank you Mitch. Show details ·  1

Help with new plans – I purchased my sheds a few years ago, but for a variety of reasons have only just got around to getting them erected. I noticed some of the needed plan detail was missing, probably by my poor scanning/photocopying. I contacted ABSCO and Tom got straight back to me, After getting a few more details, he emailed me updated new plans, building… Read more ·  1

instructions and info for the approval, which was exactly what I needed. At no cost and all within a day. Very helpful and good service. Ben Stafford

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

Wow what a load of crap these sheds are. Parts missing panels damaged. Instruction manual well you might as well wipe your [Content Removed] with it. No where near enough support structures for it. Way to many short cuts with this crap shed. Have to build timber frame inside it to keep it from falling apart. Do not waste your time with this rubbish. Show details

Good customer service! – Shed items were numbered well and online video helped with the build. We had a part missing and Sarah from Customer service sent out the missing part straight away and was very easy to deal with. Overall the shed was easy enough to erect. Show details

Easy to assemble – Bought a premier 3x3 shed, the destructions were easy to read along with the online assembly walkthrough videos. Had all sides assembled in a night. Videos were done in a common sense manner leading me to a missing part. Once I found the online process to chase it up was easy, Tom assisted me and no more then 4x emails later part was in the mail. Show details ·  1

Great customer service – I contacted customer support as I found a defective part when putting my shed together.

Great shed and easy to assemble – Shed was going together easy and was happy with the Quality, I found I had four sheets that wrong ones contacted co and they shipped the sheets quickly and efficiently Show details ·  1

Difficult to erect and sub par quality – The biggest gripe I have with this shed is that the predrilled holes on a lot of the panels do not line up which points to a quality control issue at manufacturing. The solution offered by the company to drill new holes isn't ideal as it introduces more potential water ingress points. It took a lot longer to erect than other sheds I had put… Read more

together in the past. Customer service was prompt getting back to me but essentially didn't address the fundamental problems they have at production end. Better sheds out there for similar price.

Nightmare to erect – Shed was extremely difficult to erect. Took 2 of us two days and still the door doesn't open properly. But it was very cheap and now serves its purpose. Would only buy in futurs if already erected Show details

Amazing Customer Service – Amazing, prompt and professional customer service when we found a couple of items missing from our shed which was purchased from Bunnings. Charlotte is an absolute asset to your company and she went above and beyond to make sure we received the spare parts required Thank you Show details ·  1

Great Warranty Service – Bought a house with an absco shed, which was only a few years old. Door hinge had detached, I wasn’t holding out much hope for a replacement part as I wasn’t the original purchaser and didn’t have any docs. Was very happy that Absco mailed me a big spare part door hinge panel and rivets so that i could repair. Would have been sad to trash the shed… Read more ·  2

for one part. Perhaps the quality of the braze on hinge isn’t great quality (not sure why it isn’t riveted as well) but great (unexpected) customer service.

Thank You Absco team – Charlotte was very helpful and shed went together with ease great product and looks a million dollars didn't take long to put together instructions where great and understandable Thank you Keep up the great work. Show details ·  1

Ron Santos was very helpful – Needed to know if my purchased Absco shed would require an Anchor Kit, so phoned Customer Service and Ron Santos was very helpful and explained that the Anchor Kit will be enclosed in the "Flat Pack". The Shed is to be delivered today from Bunnings, Nelson. Show details ·  3

Terrible – 7hrs and still have another day to go crap instructions 3 people and still couldn’t get it together two of us qualified tradies literally would rather burn it holes don’t line up doors and channels are bad Show details

Tinny and not cheap – Cannot understand these positive reviews for the shed. It's all very flimsy. Value engineered to the last gram. The components did not really fit together well. Quite a few holes had to be drilled. There were holes that did not match anything. The timber base that I bought with it was all also a disappointment. Looking at the brochure, the shed… Read more

easily fits over the base with 50mm of base clearly visible. That's not the real situation where the shed barely fits. And the wooden floor looks like re-used packing. There was not enough wood to cover the floor (without gaps). Had to buy more planks.

Can buildthem with my eyes closed – Have recently built 15+ sheds for DHHS projects i can safely say i can build these with my eyes closed. Very simple just follow the instructions and the pre existing holes make it too easy Show reply

Strong and very durable best one I have bought – The shed itself is sitting nicely in the backyard and looks modern and sturdy. Assembly was not as easy as I had imagined and I would suggest viewing the videos on that prior to starting. Managed to assemble and install it myself with the help of my son in the end though so happy with the end outcome and I would buy another one as I will be needing a bike shed soon. Show details ·  1

My shed is 3mtrx3mtr and the amount of stuff I can put in there is great. strong and sturdy – strong easy to put together looks great and the swing out doors work a treat. It took about 5hrs to put the panels together and then 2 more hours to fit it together. all the parts fitted and the holes all lined up.  Show details ·  1
