How I built my Trade Tested Garden Shed

Very good value for money and strong once assembled. Assembly can be tricky so I made this video to show how I did it: https://youtu.be/_F-KKubLaiM

Great little shed. Value for money.

about 1 month ago

This is the second shed we have purchased from TT. Our garden is small and have limited room and it is not easy to find a variety of sizes available. This shed was perfect for what we need. Requires a handyman to assemble it for us but takes only a few hours.

Easy.

Easy to assemble, good price. Will be buying another for my parents when I figure out what size they need.

Totally awesome

Purchase knowing is a better quality metal than elsewhere at a cheaper price. The nice thing is that it’s super easy to assume and easy to customise. I added my own floor and timber frame. Looks great and no leaks. Love it. 5th shed I’ve owned and the best one yet. Thanks so much.

Shed is fine. Assembly was a big job though and took two blokes and some colourful language to put together in a good four hours!

Feel terribly let down by Trade Tested. They do not make it clear how complex the build is. I paid a man and it took him 6 hours so the end cost became expensive.

Cheap shed

about 1 month ago

You get what you pay for! It may have been cheap but it was a mission to put together! Going back to trade tested shop to look at how they put there shop model together we could see that they struggled with bolting it together! Some instructions were missing. The experience has put me off flat packs!

Never Again

Absolutely ridiculous. Unless you are a DIY expert the assembly is impossibly. Even the instructions are lacking. So it cost me the same again to get It erected. And by the way some of the panels came scratched. Irresponsible not to highlight the degree of expertise needed to assemble.

OMG, I'm quite handy, but this shed got the better of me. Pretty much had to do a rebuild around wooden framing - thank goodness it was only to hold firewood.

Difficult if you're DIY useless like me

You get what you pay for. This is a cheap shed, pretty flimsy but once up it does a decent enough job. Putting it together though was hard if youre like me and utterly useless at putting things together. I totally butchered it and took me 3 afternoons to do! But if you know what youre doing, am sure its a doddle

A value for money shed

7 months ago

I am not normally a person who writes a review on products bought but this shed is an exception. I found this shed to be great value for money. Given the low price I was not expecting such a well designed and well constructed shed. It was quite complex to put together but I got there. You do need a wooden base though.

poor instruction manual

7 months ago

Some panels were scratched in the package. The instruction manual was not stated properly or correct order, and in some extent it was kind of misleading and figures were not clear, some part numbers marked on plastic bag did not make sense. It took me long time to figure out the assembly steps. I used the help from other internet users' pictures to understand the assembly process.

I have to admit as my husband wasn’t keen to help put it together and it recommends 2 people, So we employed a man to put it together for us. We have the flooring kit too. It all went together well and fits our space perfectly. So completely happy.

When I ordered this garden shed it was out of stock but I was kept updated as to when the new stock would arrive in and the shed was dispatched as soon as this happened. My brother in law put it all together for me and it is perfect for the space I have it in. There were a couple of problems in assembling the shed such as the drill bit that was supplied bent under very little pressure, which meant he had to go and buy another one in order to finish the job. He felt that a drill bit should not bend, and that is a bit dangerous. Also, the instructions were a little unclear in some areas, but this was minor. Overall, I am very happy with the shed.

Worst shed ever

about 1 year ago

No, I am not kidding. Instructions are misleading at best, plain wrong at worst. Shed is painfully difficult to assemble - and I'm an Engineer. None of the predrilled holes are in the right place. The finished product is scratched easily and rusts almost immediately. And the door doesn't shut. I'll be throwing this out at the first possible opportunity.

Flat pack?!

I like my shed, but I wish I knew how long it would take to put together! What was going to be a value for money purchase, ended up costing me a fortune, as I had to employ someone to construct it for me!

Poor service

over 2 years ago

Bought this over Christmas as a holiday project, Decided to put down a rebated concrete base, asked for the specs and was sent a floor guide from them. Built the slab to the specs provided and then built the shed. Went to put it together and it didn't fit on the slab as they did not take into account the corner braces, see photos. Contacted them for a work around so I could get this to work as they had given the incorrect instructions. I have been back and forth for over a month, was told a manger was looking into this... nothing, no phone call no work around option to fix, no apologies. I eventually just took the braces off and replaced with some corner braces from Bunnings at my own cost, I told them this and still nothing, probably voids warranty at this stage, told them this....still nothing, no acknowledgement or compensation or even contact?! this company gives the impression of good service but this is some of the worst. Very disappointing experience. I even told them I may give a bad review....that was weeks ago and still nothing!

OK but...

over 2 years ago

I guess you get what you pay for. This shed is made in China and though everything is there, it is very flimsy and I would recommend a more sturdy one. Also, very challenging to put together despite the instruction booklet which was provided. Some common sense adaptations were required to help things along!

I got this shed for my garden equipment, to match the space I had for it. It is really well made, and surprisingly robust when put together. It was quite logical to erect apart from a couple of parts, but a reasonably smart person will sort it. I would (and have) recommended this shed as it is good value for money.

Instructions weren't very good. It would be easier if all the holes were pre-drilled. Takes a fair while to construct.

Shed

Overall pleased with the product. It is light and low cost, but does the job, looks smart and should last well. Delivery service was fast and the product was undamaged. I am glad to be handy with tools and feel it would not be easy for non-handy people to assemble. I chose to pre-drill holes rather than rely on the self-drilling tek screws because the wall panels can be pushed away and out of position using only the comparatively blunt screws provided. The instructions could do with slightly improved diagrams and more words here and there to be more easily followed, but they are reasonably adequate. Best not to pull the walls hard together when screwing on the metal corner brackets, top and bottom. This will provide an extra mm or two for the door space, which might otherwise be too tight a fit. I had to make a small door-stopper plate using 2mm aluminium so the bottom of the door had something to close against and i noted that the top moulding over the doorway is poorly dimensioned and doesn't permit the door to close totally flush. Standing a little proud is ok, but it meant i needed to pack the bolt saddle out 2mm and i also found it necessary to put a 2mm packer under the latch assembly itself. I decided that rainwater could not escape easily enough from the bottom frame channels, so drilled large enough holes through the base of the channels within the recessed corrugations where i could access them from the outside. The wooden floorboards fit nicely inside the bottom frame. They were not precision cut, but good enough. I abandoned the bulky joists provided and mounted the shed on 3 lengths of Kwila instead, as i was erecting the shed on an existing deck. I used a round file to file sloping grooves in the kwila runners under my rainwater escape holes, so the water could drain to the outside. The roof needs to overhang at the rear and you need to make sure the front overhang is not so great as to foul the top of the door. I was plain lucky that the top of my door just cleared the front edge of the roof by 1 or 2 mm. I suggest you don't put in the many roof fastening screws until you have hung the door and know you have clearance. Generally, it took me an age to assemble everything and it took another pair of hands to help as well. The sheets can be awkward to handle and need to be protected from being scratched, bent or dented during assembly. It is a pain and time consuming to peel off the plastic coating from most panels. I suggest giving yourself plenty of time to do the whole job. This is not a heavy duty type of shed and care is needed when storing heavier items to avoid denting panels from the inside. Wooden vertical strips could easily be screwed onto the walls (through from the outside) to attach a lining or frame for leaning tools against or for hanging them up. Finally, there is a lot of drilling in the assembly process and lots of metal filings will be caught in the channels as well as on the wall and roof surfaces. These will readily rust and at the very least rust stain the paint. I had to be meticulous about vacuuming these up and wiping the surfaces with a rag using a bit of turps. Had to follow up over a few days to get the bits i'd missed. I am happy with this shed for my purposes and feel it is a good product, even though i may have preferred a slightly heavier duty item. Such heavier sheds are, of course, double the cost.

Ignore the inconsistencies!

This project started off OK but I gradually got into difficulties following the instructions and it took more than a few phone calls to get back on track (Leo was very patient and helpful so five stars to him). The finished article didn't match the plan - the roof is much bigger than the measurements of the walls and therefore hangs over the back and front but that is no real drama. I feel that it would be good for TT to re-visit the instruction book. Having said all that, I would strongly recommend anyone to buy from Trade Tested as, by comparison to quality and service, they are second to none

I purchased this small shed to put on the deck for extra storage very ideal , I found the insructions very good with every step explained and every step had its own packed fittings with numbers on the packets impressed with this I was , delivery was ok but a lttle disapionted the pack was place outside on the driveway in full view if I was contacted when delivery was done I would have been home to meet the driver

Just as well my wife and I enjoyed this as a couples project because it took us 3 times as long to assemble than expected! Very thrilled with the quality of product and final result. Looks really great. Instructions were a mix of excellent in parts and confusing in others. Common sense needed to be applied at times in the interpretation.

It's okay

Be aware that the sides, door and roof are not preformed and you need to construct these parts and not just the shed itself. The instructions are vague and appear to be a photocopy of a photocopy

Good little product with all pieces required for the job. Delivery was to Cromwell P.B.T. Transport depot. Delivery was supposed to be three days but took a bit longer than that and then the floor which was ordered at the same time came separately even later. However it was just before Christmas so I can be a bit tolerant. Construction took me a bit longer than I expected partly due to not being able to see where or how the left door post fitted. It was not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. I went back to the photos on line to see how it was placed then found I had to shift the right door post to make the door fit. Instructions were in "English" English, not Chinese English and were generally good but could have had a bit more detail and illustrations could have been a bit clearer. However the outcome was good and I enjoyed doing it. I put some pop rivets up the corners for good measure. Good product good service.

The one abiding criticism is the instructions that came with the shed - they are not adequate and needed almost as much time to read and interpret as the build process itself.I had to phone your office to get some advice - readily forthcoming, so thank you for that - but a simple set of instructions, that follow a logical step-by-step process, in English, and with pictures that make sense, then the whole thing would have been much simpler and more satisfying. I got it done after a fair deal of head-scratching and am satisfied with the product, so positive result.
