Purchased a 6 x 4 shed with veranda . Explained what we req and were installing ourself. FYI unless you are an engineer or a qualified shed builder Do NOT attempt to install yourself. The Stratco instructions are non existent parts missing. This was classified as a custom shed but it’s in their brochure . No help what so ever. Warning do not… Read more
attempt to self install or go to a better shed supplier who will give you detailed instructions . Clearly stratco don’t want you to install a shed but you have no choice if you live 6 hys away and stratco say they don’t have installers at this location. You have been warned .
Anish was most helpful when I visited instore, I was looking for a garden shed and he accompanied me to the garden shed section. He was very informative of my needs. I only have a small patio and the handy pod is perfect. I can't recommend his wonderful service enough!! Show details · 1
I recently had a job to replace a rusty old roof. I sourced a number of quotes. The help I receive at Stratco was convenient and accurate. Materials arrived on the day as promised and the complete order was waiting for me to start work as promised to my customer! Show details · 1

Just the ticket – The bamboo screens are just the ticket to transform a boring wall or fence into a fresh & tropical back drop. So happy with them. They have completely changed a disused section of the yard into a tranquil, cool, relaxing area, that we enjoy spending time in. Staff were extremely helpful & pleasant to deal with too. Show details
I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from Stratco Canning Vale. I ordered custom gutters and straps for my new build, but was supplied with incorrectly sized straps — a mistake entirely on Stratco’s part. Attached photo with the strap stratco supplied) This error has now caused serious delays in my construction schedule, and I… Read more
am incurring additional costs as a result. I visited the store in person to request a replacement, only to be told that a two-week turnaround is required for a custom strap – even though it was Stratco who made the mistake. I urgently want stratco can do something replace the strap as soon as possible. Not just keep saying “ we can’t do anything, it’s not our fault “.
Good afternoon, Jenny. We have forwarded your email… Read more

Carports the easy way – The staff were extremely helpful in designing our carport, it was a simple process that provided us with all the information required to apply for our permit, which was subsequently approved. Show reply
Great service by jade kemp – Just like to thank jade kemp who was amazing in organising what we needed for our new build. Jade studied the house plans and offered great suggestions and came up with what we needed in a really timely fashion. Nothing was too much trouble. Jade has a lovely way of dealing with customers. Thanks jade Show details · 1
Very grateful – After 2 years of indecision and a few visits to stratco branches (also other shed builders), it was Christopher Wood at the canningvale branch whose knowledge made it easier for me to finally proceed. Show details · 1

Disappointed with the Service at Stratco Canning Vale Visited the Canning Vale store today( after being directed here from Mandurah) and was extremely disappointed with the customer service. Staff remained behind the desk the entire time, made no eye contact, and offered no assistance. When we approached one of them with a question, there was no… Read more
smile, and we were told the item wasn’t available at this location. We asked if another store (Malaga) might have it, and they simply said they didn’t know. There was no effort to check stock or offer to help further.
We left the store feeling unwelcome and frustrated. It was clear the staff had no interest in helping customers. Based on this experience, we won’t be returning to this store. Very poor service.

Poor service – Extremely poor service waited at service desk for well over 5 minutes. Customer service was at desk chatting to friends. No acknowledgement by staff member that she would be with us soon.

Poor customer service – Called stratco a few times to get a quote for a decent backyard size shed. Spoke to a lady in Canning Vale store who was rude and accused me of spelling my last name wrong to which the quote never got sent. I had to follow up as it had been a few days, they never called to say the email failed. I think I know how to spell my last name you… Read more
must’ve misheard, not a nice way to respond for an error no matter whose at fault. Get the feeling Stratco only want the big commercial jobs, it’s all to hard won’t be going through them. Bad attitude and customer service wouldn’t waste your time. Very disappointing.

Closed Warehouse without public Notice – They promised delivery by 22/1/24. Said open on Saturdays from 7-10am only for pick up. I arranged trailer hire and came on 27/1/24. They were open. But when I arrived, they sent me to pick up from the warehouse. Went to wharehouse and found it closed. No apologies. This people have no respect for the public. Will never buy here again!

Fantastic service by great team members – After accidentally arriving very close to closing time, I would like to send a big "thankyou" to the staff who let me make my purchase. They left the gate open and let me know that too. I was impressed with Leanne's assistance and attention to detail with my special order product. Stratco staff are what make the difference when you compare with Bunnings where none of the staff appear to know anything. Show details
Shed Extension – The Stratco team that erected my shed extension were exceptional. They arrived on time and worked non stop to complete my extension in two days. The team were very professional and kept me informed of what they were doing throughout the building of the shed. I would highly recommend Stratco and their building team. Show details

Customer Service – I went into the Canningvale store on Saturday morning the 25th February 2023 to ask some questions regarding my ezi-slat products I had bought in December. I am a Boilermaker with over 27 years' experience, so fabrication is second nature to me. But a young lady by the name of Morgan Sampson, not only answered my questions with confidence and a… Read more · 1
pleasant manner, but she was also able to recommend parts that I would need to finish off my gates. Morgan not only did you impress me, but Stratco should be grateful that they have an employee with your talent, skill and confidence. I really appreciate all your help. Kind regards Cleto Piani
Wouldn't give me what I paid for because I had the wrong shoes – I went to the Canning Vale store in Perth just before Christmas to purchase PVC downpipes and accessories. They didn’t have all of what I needed in stock but said that I could pick the order up at the warehouse five minutes up the road. I paid for the items in the store. I drove to the warehouse and went to the counter and was told that they… Read more
wouldn’t give me my purchase because I had open-toed shoes. I talked to the manager and asked him what was the difference between me taking the items to the car from the store as compared to me taking the items from him. He told me that what they did at the store had nothing to do with him, which I found a bit surprising. There was nothing to stop me from driving into the warehouse car park, walk to the counter with the shoes I had on. But I couldn’t take the items that I had already paid for. So I told the manager to cancel the order and refund my money. He said he couldn’t refund my money. He wouldn’t give me the items that I’d paid for and wouldn’t refund my money. He told me that the store that I purchased the items from should have told me I couldn’t wear open-toed shoes. When I went back to the store to get my refund they were surprised by what the manager at the warehouse had done. I later went to Bunnings and bought what I needed. They didn’t worry about what shoes I was wearing.
Hi Dan, I am sorry to hear about your experience at our store. I will look into this further for you. Thank you
Always Exceptional Service – I send through my orders to Kylie Honey, who is always prompt to reply with an accurate quote. Her customer service is exceptional, you don't often get service like this anymore. Thank you Kylie!!! Show details · 1
Service – Went to stratco canningvale on Easter Saturday to pick up a few items for a project. It was busy a lot of people waiting to be served. All staff had greeted me and asked if I needed any assistance. Ash (Ashleigh) was particularly helpful, she did tell me she was new and still learning. But she was very helpful and patient with myself, even helped load my goods into the car. Was a pleasant experience. Will definitely return. Show details · 1

Overpriced shed, quality isn't much better than Bunnings – Not happy with the quality of the materials. The shed was nearly 3 times more expensive than the equivalent Bunnings shed but quality wasn't allot different. It wasn't easy to construct and in hindsight I would pay a tradesman to build one from scratch for the amount Stratco charges for a basic shed.

Nice looking shed – I bought a Stubbie Shed 3m x 3m. The sales person Kylie was very efficient and helpful. I erected it myself and had to clarify a couple of items on the "How to Build it document" - Kylie was helpful again. The instructions were quite well written and relatively easy to follow. It did really need two persons to build it but I managed the majority… Read more · 1
of it on my own. The shed looks very impressive and sturdy. My only disappointment is the paint finish on the roof and wall cladding. It scratched very easily, not as strong as Colorbond and in fact a couple of sheets were quite badly scratched when I opened the box.
Can’t be bothered informing tradesmen of delays – Told the wait for an order was 2 weeks Then called up to see progress and it had been delayed 6 weeks due to supply issues for a product that could be substituted Leaving a house with out a roof Gyprock plasterers booked in And huge delays in building project.
