Ok product but has room for improvement!

published

Recently bought this product and wasn’t entirely satisfied with it. Some missing components and instructions can be improved. I’ve since been in touch with AbscoSheds and they were very keen to know what the main issues were and arranged to visually check them. Richard was very helpful.
Worthwhile getting in touch with them if you have any issues.
Also found out that anchoring brackets are not included due to Bunnings guidelines. These can be bought as a kit.
Bunnings, it would be much better to have these included.

Good shed BUT - John (Woongarrah)

Purchased from Bunnings off the shelf, instructions very vague and pack had the wrong anchor kit set (received 8 pack should have been 12), took over a month to receive correct anchor set and had to go thru hoops to get it, shed though is great.

Purchased in February 2021.

Good shed

published

Instructions a little vague but with videos ok to assemble. I added many more screws to stiffen. Put together by myself, two would be better when putting panels together. Punched holes to big for screws, that's why I added many more. Will get preassembled the next time. To much for old guy. Once all together nice shed.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us! Good effort doing this one without a second helper. Two people is definitely recommended!
We really appreciate your feedback.

Not worth the money

published

This was a shit show of a pre-fab shed. None of the holes lined up and at least half of them weren't actually pre-punched. Many of the frames for the panels were obviously cut at the wrong points which made it hard to screw all the panels together as there was not enough overlap in places to actually fit screws through both panels. After spending double the time I should have to complete everything the shed cannot sit flat. One corner is always raised and shed rocks back and forth. Absolute waste of money.

Bad design

published

Having built a few other Absco sheds over the years, I can live with holes that never line up and poor instructions.

However, in this case, the design is just plain bad. The rollers supplied for the doors bend way too much and are not designed to run in a track but to hang in a rail. I contacted ABSCO and the solution was to supply me with a new set of exactly the same useless rollers. What???

Space saver shed - 30152SK

published

Great size shed very easy to put together. Read instructions and watched videos. Everything lined up perfectly. Only thing I didn’t like was the silver screws, ended up replacing them with colour bonds pop rivets on the sheets only, same colour as shed and now looks even better. Also pop riveted the lock assembly.

It's easy for them to say.

published

The assembly was not made clear on this video nor the instructions. The guy doing the video knew what he was talking about but didn't completely explain the finer details, which didn't help us. The manual is as clear as mud. Not very descriptive at all. Half of the pre drilled holes did NOT line up, causing more confusion and frustration

Shocking delivery time!

published

Taking out 3 stars for now. I ordered mine through Bunnings since the 18th of Nov. Was told because of the monument colour they need to order one. Common just to paint one in monument colour 2months?!? Didn't even asked for skylight, windows or custom made... shocking! Not happy at all.

Good morning Ron,
Thanks for reaching out. We can certainly look into this and help get this resolved for you. We will need your order number and best contact details and have sent you a private message so that we can go from there. Speak soon.

Really easy instillation

published

Not having a lot of experience in construction, outside of smaller IKEA projects, we found this process much easier than anticipated.

Firstly using the app we were able to judge how the different options would fit in the limited space available in my yard.
Then we used the app to follow the assembly guide, making the process pretty simple, with clear and easy to follow instructions.

Would recommend, and buy again. The technology available with this range saved us from what could've been a very long day!

Great once built! 3x3 Monument Gable Roof

published

The shed is great and solid once built, we bought the 3x3, this is certainly for the advanced DIYer or handyman, I am a tradie in my former life and got it together in the course of a weekend with my wifes help when shifting big panels and assembling. Also colourbond scratches quite easy during construction. A few holes required drilling but over all not too bad. Missing a bag of screws so I will be going to Bunnings today to see if i can get the missing screws. (Bunnings gave me the screws FOC)

Absco chicken coop- stay away

published

So fiddly to put together..you have to basically assemble every little part. The instructions were atrocious. You would think a company in business for so long would review their processes and strive to improve their products and instructions. some of the holes don’t line up..Flimsy panels make it a 2 person job.

Good value garden shed

published

My Eco green skillion roof 2.26 x 1.52 garden shed arrived in Hobart from Queensland in less than 7 days. I was able to assemble the shed and erect it on a timber base within one day. This one person process was relatively easy having watched the video and by reading the manual. The availability of this size shed was ideal for the limited area I had available to me. My overall experience with the product and service has been positive.

Looks Nice But Not Easy To Put Together

published

Ease of construction sounds good in theory but most of the screw holes didn't line up. Very frustrating and time consuming. I had to drill a lot of the holes myself.
Looks nice enough and sturdy once it is put together. Time will tell.

The sheets weren't around the wrong way. I can see the same thing in other people's reviews also. Even the FAQ on your app says if the holes don't line up you should drill in the screw on an angle to pull the sheets together.

Very average quality of materials supplied

published

No plastic coverings on the sheets or surrounds the only plastic was on the ridge capping next was the sheets where not hole punched fully only about 20% where the channels join cut rough and did not join correctly so I had to open them up with a small blade and had scratches on my sheets. Not happy after spending my hard earned money to receive a shed that is scratched up and looks second hand.

Absco Garden Sheds

What is the difference between your premier and regent range?

5 answers
Absco Sheds
Customer ServiceAbsco Sheds

Regent Sheds have a gable piece at the front of the shed, above the doors. Premier Sheds have the doors positioned in a different orientation to the gable and does not come with a gable piece. Please check out our website to view our range.

I did check your website, but it did not have enough details. Also is there any other difference in quality given that the price difference is about 1.5 times

Rusty Nails
Rusty Nails

The only difference I can see between these two sheds is that the regent has a white triangular piece that supports the roof ridge beam at the front of the shed giving it a front and rear gable roof. The premier has sides cut to an angle which forms the gable on the sides of the shed. On the premier I purchased one of these side angles was 10mm longer than the others and had to be cut down with tin snips to make it fit. As these sheds are of disappointing quality and frustrating to assemble I would not recommend them to anyone let alone pay half as much again for little variation in the product.

Hi Greg,

Why does my Model 213151NZSK sched 'leak' when it rains on the inside, around the edges? 2.26 x 1.52D x 2.08mH

Hi Sue,
Sorry to hear that you are having an issue with your shed. This is certainly not a common problem, is it a small weep or is water pouring in?

If the bottom channels have been installed backwards (with the high side on the outside) may let the water into the shed when it rains. If you could send photos of the shed construction and where the water is coming in, this would be helpful to diagnose your problem.

A couple of questions:
1. Is it on a concrete or timber base?
2. How is the shed anchored down to the base?

If you could email us your best contact info at [email protected] with the above information, we will be able to help you further. Look forward to hearing from you. The Absco Team
