Love the shed. It was a easy day to erect it – It was an easy project to do. The instructions were easy to follow but I decided to use pop rivets instead of the screws supplied. Found that only a few holes didn't line up. Also had 3 parts missing (15A x2 and ZARSP) But overall I'm happy with my Tidymaster J30232MK shed. Show details

Good value for money shed – Recently I purchased a 1.52m x 0.78m x 1.95m garden shed. I assembled an identical shed 5 years ago without any problems but the one I recently purchased presented a few minor problems. All of the punched holes in the rear right hand panel were in the wrong place and I needed to re-drill holes in the connected panels for correct hole alignment.… Read more

Several of the holes were not punched right through and needed drilling. Also the holes punched in the roof edge angles if aligned with the roof holes placed the angles too far forward. Re-drilling was required. Overall I am very pleased with both of the sheds and would not hesitate to purchase a Garden Pro shed in the future. I was pleased to find an anchoring kit in the package although the sticker on the front said it was not included.

Pretty good except holes were hard to line up – It is a good size and design but the holes didnt line up that well so needed to drill others to put it together. Good price though so can complain.

Great shed for the money, great support videos – I bought a 3mx3m zinc shed and assembled it with help from my dad and brother. The instructions are pretty clear, but the videos are really excellent and I recommend them. We kept quoting them to one another like fans. "Nest the corners in." FYI, the site is in the country, without power. So I spent a couple of hours putting the channels and roof… Read more

beam together and assembling the doors at home. Then put it all in the trailer, took it up country, and laid it out on big tarps. These panels are big so I used the trailer as a workbench, along with another set of trestles. It went together well, the snap-on channels are terrific, it's all logical like a great big Meccano set. We had to check the videos on the app a few times for sneaky tips, and did have to drill out a few extra holes but no drama. You will need a step ladder, preferably two drills so you don't have to keep swapping bits, gloves, and wrench or socket set. And cake! And take your time - don't rush, think things through. We took about 7 hours. Would do it again. It was interesting to do, and well engineered.

Overall Easy to install and few improvement is suggested – This shed has detailed manual to help me install it step by step. I can follow it easily. And the design of structure is simple and efficient, quite good for DIYer. I would suggest to improve the manual about exact screw type for each application. Besides, I find when I water the roof, there still some water leaking into internal area via the… Read more

edge of door, which could be improve as well.

Overall, it is good stuff for people with basic assemble ability and I would recommend any one give it a go.

Absolute rubbish to put together – Purchased the 3m x 3m shed. It took 6 hours to try and understand the instructions which were not clear at all and put the shell of the shed together. None of the holes lined up, rivets not supplied, not enough bolts supplied for the hinges, not enough screws supplied. Holes didn't line up. The pressed locks on the hinges snapped off so had to… Read more

purchase new hinges, more expense.

It took 3 days to put together one shed because we just dreaded attempting it any further.

Unfortunately I bought two of these sheds and we now have the daunting task of putting another one together.

Don't tell me how sorry you are to hear I am not happy with the product, just send one of your reps to my home and put the bloody thing together for me. Absolute nightmare and migraine material.

Never again will I purchase one of your products.

Missing brackets, broken door hinge – Purchased a 'GardenPro' Masterstore Shed 15081MK (Made by Absco Sheds) from Bunnings in August. Have only just got around to assembling it. Assembled the front panel and attached the door with hinges to the frame as per instructions before final assembly. Moving the front frame panel around after assembly, the door detached itself from it's… Read more

hinges. My only option to fix this will be to drill out the rivets I attached the hinges to the frame with, then drill out holes to re-attach the hinges to the door with rivets before re-riveting the hinges to the frame.

This shed should also have come with angle brackets to bolt it to whatever base I chose to use, but there were none. There were also only included 6 bolts and nuts for attaching the (non existent) brackets to the walls, however the instructions showed 8 anchor points for securing the shed to a base.

Good shed - difficult to put together – The shed is of good quality and well built. The application for construction of the shed did not work. We called the helpline and they spoke to us, requested we send photos by e-mail but never responded. The paper instructions for the doors were very confusing and it took probably an hour longer than it should have to put them together as a… Read more

result. We received one wrong part which meant we had to drill the holes as the pre-drilled were not in the right position.

Great instructions with App – I had been warned about how difficult setting up sheds can be in kit form. However this kit arrived with clear instructions and an app to download which contained videos. The Snaptite feature made installing easy. The only thing to keep in mind is you definitely need 2 people to install.  Show details

Solves the problem – This shed fits the area in the corner of our yard that wasn’t being used freeing up space from our larger garage. The assembly was challenging but after reading the well detailed instructions it all came together in the end. Very happy with the quality.  Show details

This shed is the perfect solution for anyone with a small backyard! Highly Recommend! – This is the second shed I have recently purchased from Absco Garden Sheds. The assembly is straight forward, with easy to follow instructions however it is definitely a two person job! Overall this product has quality materials and is a good size for up the side of a house which is why we now own two! Great purchase!  Show details

Challenging Assembly but Overall Great Shed – Great shed for our backyard needs. I must admit, the setup was a bit difficult, but once up and assembled the Shed is perfect for what we need. Setup took a couple of days after work, but the shed is sturdy.  Show details

Good Shed – The two sheds I purchased were a breeze to assemble. The instructions were easy to follow. There were heaps of screws in the package to help put the shed together which is better than having to scratch around looking for enough to get the job done. The sheds are a perfect size for the position I have them in.  Show details

OK, but has some issues that need to worked around – Good packaging, instructions are clear Some of the pieces dont fit together as they should, especially the roof, where hole are drilled in the wrong places and need to be redrilled, with unused holes need to be patched up. Panels have some crimple marks on them, where they weren't rolled properly Door fitting needed to be re-engineered where the fittings provided are too large, and caused the door to buvle to lock it, so needed to fix this  Show details

improvement needed – we bought our shed from Bunnings downloaded the instructions which were easy to follow but that was where it all ended it took 2 men all day to construct. firstly- nothing wanted to fit properly into their positions and very hard to open door due to something not quite right and the roof leaks. sorry but I am quite disappointed we thought this was going to be a good shed as it is Australian.  Show details

Horrendous to assemble – It took three people longer to assemble the shed, than it did for three people to empty a storage shed into a one bedroom house using a trailer! Never, ever again.

Very flimsy and hard to erect – The promotional statements on the packaging claim that this shed is cyclone proof and easy to erect. As it is assembled by the purchaser with the 3mm dome head screws supplied and 1mm thick channel section holding the panels together, I find this claim absurd. A child who decided to try a 'pull up' on the roof at the door opening would do… Read more

irreparable damage to the structure and the channel section on the floor of the door opening would be easily damaged by tools etc. It is not even guaranteed to be waterproof as it explains in the fine print when you read the enclosed instructions

It took the two of us over three hours to put the panels together and another hour with three of us to erect it. The final result appeared attractive but I would never buy another product from this brand.
