Garden Buildings – The Build
Our Garden Buildings are designed for construction by competent DIY customers and typically require at least two or more adults to help with the assembly. Before you assemble your delivered products please ensure that you have read the instructions and familarised yourself with the project you are about to undertake. The assembly process will vary according to individual abilities and the complexity of the project. Any indication given in our website or literature as to the time required to assemble a product must be deemed as an approximate guide. Wood is a natural product and may require manipulation prior to assembly. If it your intention to organise for a third party to assemble the products please ensure that the components have been physically delivered and that you are satisfied with the product.
It is your responsibility to check that all the parts are present and correct, so that in the unlikely event that parts may be missing, incorrect, or damaged, you can ensure we have reasonable time to supply replacements (We aim to typically replace parts within seven days assuming replacement parts are in stock, however if we have to manufacture parts this time frame may be longer). Should you use a third party to carry out the installation please ensure that you give them sufficient time to familiarise themselves with the material and instructions supplied before committing to an installation date.
Garden Building Returns Policy:
1. Check contents before construction
It is your duty to inspect the contents before construction is started. Any damaged caused during construction cannot be covered by the warranty and you will be charged for replacement parts required due to damage during construction. If parts are found to be damaged before construction please contact us immediately We will then arrange for the replacement of any damaged parts - parts delivered damaged will be replaced free of charge typically within seven days but this may be longer if it needs to be manufactured. We may require photographs to be supplied to us before being able to process your claim.
2. Timber is a natural product
The natural characteristics of timber are not a reason for the return of goods. Natural colour variations, warping, shakes, splits, knots, knot holes, and varying surface finishes which are typical properties of wood and the logs used for log cabins. We supply timber products designed for external garden use, and as such our designs take into account timber’s natural characteristics and properties when designing for structural integrity.
All timbers are checked prior to shipment. Between the point of shipment and assembly the characteristics of timbers may adjust, sometimes this is more evident in pressure treated sections, due to the manufacturing process and especially noticeable in Spruce or Pine. Once assembled timbers may continue to adjust to environmental factors such as the weather and load. If you require a smoother finish you may wish to sand some of the timbers, but this is an individual choice. Splits and cracks in wood are typical and are part of the integrity of the timber and cannot be guaranteed against.
3. Construction/Treatment
Construction will typically take a day depending on the size of the garden building and the experience of the person building the garden building. Once construction has begun you will not be able to return the garden building, therefore you must ensure you are happy with the product and do not want to return it before you start to build it. By construction of the building you acknowledge that you do not wish to return it. This acceptance does not in any way affect your warranty or statutory rights.
Our Garden Buildings are not treated and you will need to treat your garden building. You must apply treatments to the garden building until you are satisfied with the product. Treating the wood will be deemed as acceptance of the quality of the goods and confirmation that you do not wish to return the product.
The Garden Building packaging is a temporary packaging just for transportation to the customer. Although an outside product it is the customers responsibility to either treat the wood or keep it dry during the construction process. It is the customer’s responsibility to cover any exposed timber immediately after delivery to avoid blue stain issues.
Minor adjustments may have to be undertaken during the construction process due to the nature of the timber. Where holes have been pre-drilled they may require onsite adjustment. Additional adjustments to sections of timber of timber may still have to be undertaken on site. In the event that some of the timbers are warped and prove difficult to assemble – competent manipulation e.g. light wetting, sensible weight application and slowly (over a few days if necessary) heating or cooling can overcome the majority of warping.
Please be aware that if we are installing your Garden Building you will be subject to the same terms as detailed above and should not allow the installers to commence if you are not happy with the product and wish to return it.

Excellent shed at a fantastic price easy to assemble delivered on time. Would highly recommend
We bought a shed from ShedsFirst, it was easy to find the right size from the range on their website and the ordering process was simple. The shed arrived on time and was well packaged to prevent damage. The quality of the wood is really good. The only area that we cannot wholeheartedly praise is that the assembly instructions could have been clearer. But on the whole, we definitely recommend them.<br />
Great communication at all stages of order, delivered on time and high quality shed which was easy to install, would highly recommend, we are very happy with our purchase.
ShedsFirst is a best company. I have ever used. Customer service were brilliant and quick to respond. Top quality product for a great price. I am grateful to them.
