Absco Garden Sheds

Looks great. Wasn’t too hard to build. Just had to watch and pause the video instructions a few times and use common sense. Definitely drilled a few more holes and used the extra self tapping screws to strengthen the corners. However, I’m very happy with how it turned out. Not a bad effort, considering I built it solo as a 5ft4 female -if I do… Read more

say so myself! It came with everything I needed except a pop rivet gun. Luckily they are cheap to buy! Only reason I didn’t give this shed a 5 is that it doesn’t have any sort of ventilation (will add something myself) and there was definitely some improvisation at the end to use up left over screws, (and yes I double checked and I didn’t miss any steps). All round, perfect shed for the bikes and scooters taking up my garage!

Needed a garden shed for my lovely wife - Found this shed online, took the plunge and ordered it. Took me a while to get it together and now it is all done, we are very happy with the result. Great price and therefore great value for the money spent. Show details ·  1

There were a lot of parts to assemble. But got it done today in about 6-7 hours with a little help from my wife. You need 2 people when fixing the panels together and putting the roof up. Most of it did go smoothly. Some of the holes were not pre-drilled properly. To understand the assembly watch the video and read the manual. Show details ·  1

Very happy with the ABSCO storage shed. Easy to install. Snap lock system worked effectively. Would recommend to others to purchase. Show reply

Love the Shed, still working on it so far so good ! Great Instructions, easy to follow Step by Step, all parts included, quick delivery. Highly recommend this type of shed,only problem get those little screws in the bin and use pop rivets . Show details ·  1

Very good quality shed, perfect for small backyards. Very spacious inside. We did struggle to assemble it though so ensure plenty of time and patience. Show details ·  1

Paid $4,520.00 for this 6x3x2.3 shed. The middle roof support structure parts were wrong. they were too small and would not reach up to the roof, had to ring support to get right parts sent out in which it delayed putting the shed up for a week. Came time to attach the Ridge beams to the roof and they had been made out of alignment so another call… Read more

to Absco, this has put finishing the shed back again. For the price I paid for this shed, I would expect that the manufacturing and quality of the product to be acceptable. which it is not. Looking at the reviews, it would seem nothing has improved. Some of the snap on rails that sit on the top and bottom of the sheets are too short, so this makes the corners not covered with the rails. The videos contradict the paper manual, the paper instructions are not clear about many steps of the construction. I'm not happy with the purchase and regret buying it as I'm on a pension and had to save for the purchase because the old shed is falling apart, been up for 50 years. I don't know what is going to happen about the Ridge beams if they are going to send out properly made ones. I've had to put people off twice that were helping to build it. I just wish I never bought it, It's pretty poor all round, I would recommend that saving a little extra and pay for something that would be less of a burden. Don't rely on the predrilled holes, as you can see, they are not where the should be. You can see the misalignment of the Ridge beams, the two pieces don't match. Poor quality control.

I just had one of my worst experience buying one of these sheds. I searched online for sheds, It was a toss up between Easy Sheds and an Absco shed from Bunnings as both of them had the style and colour I want at similar prices. Easy shed was possibly cheaper as they had free delivery. But Absco came with concrete anchors. Anyway I went with Absco… Read more

as Bunnings had a sale on, and I wanted to try their easy locking system. I purchased 2 of their sheds online through the Bunnings Website . Kingsgrove Bunnings was our closest store and had organised its delivery. (Note:These sheds were not bought in store as damaged box, customer returns or discontinued item, they were bought brand new online) There was some trouble with delivery and arrive a few days late, The boxes came undamaged and no signs of tampering, I was pushed for time as I needed to do it during my son’s university 1 week break. We had almost completed the installation when we started noticing wrong and missing parts, the lip angle we were given ,we only got 2 and needed 4 and the two that was supplied was the wrong size., and most of the door jam parts were also missing. We stopped work and itemised all the missing pieces, I googled the Absco Sheds website and found the easy fill form for the missing parts. Shortly after sending the form through, I was asked by their staff for further information of the pieces missing and If they can contact Bunnings Kingsgrove for confirmation of purchase, I agreed. Then I was shocked to see this quote from Bunnings sent to me, the 10 missing pieces will cost me $361. So stressed I immediately called Bunnings and they said , this quote was from Absco Sheds, I told them I purchased the shed online brand new. She said she will call Absco and sort it out. This is part of the reply I got from the Absco Customer Service Team Leader: “ I just got an approval to process a resupply for the parts as a one-time good will. Again, we do not resupply free of charge for discounted items, we are making an exception for this.” If I had known that, I wouldn’t have bought it, this costed me a lot of stress and time wasted. The parts came extremely quick 2days from Queensland to Sydney, but too late as I was left to finish the assembly on my own. Not sure how the other shed companies operate, to me it’s unfair, why should I pay if the mistake is during the picking and packing stage at the Absco factory. Do they not have a scale to weigh the package before shipment to see if any parts are missing? So anyhow my shed is up and it looks great.

This is a joke product. None of the engineers designing the parts have any idea what a shed is. None of the people manufacturing the parts care about the fitment or quality either. End result, you'll rapidly put together all the panels, but the final fitment WONT WORK. None of the holes will line up, and it will be impossible to assemble. Pros: … Read more

Lots of screws. Way too many screws. App is ok. The parts checklist is very helpful. The instructions are not. Had to watch a video to proceed, but still hit some issues.

Cons:

Not enough holes. Seriously, how hard is it to ensure all the holes are stamped out correctly? The "snap-lock" system is bad. Lots of clips are mis-aligned, so wont "snap" in place. You need much better QA for something like this to work. Parts that should be identical (top and bottom of the back panel), are different for no good reason, which means you can accidentally install the back upside down. This has to cost more to manufacture?

We unpacked our shed and to our surprise the colour was a dark brown but on the front of the box it stated the colour was Monument and a swatch of a very dark grey / black shown in the front of the box, which is what we wanted There was painted… Read more

scraped off the doors and other panels and other panels and many holes didn’t line up The Snaptite method allows the sheets the slide back and forth in the channel which makes life more difficult as they move around during assembly, I suggest the assembly guide should say “insert screws at ends of sheet to secure sheet in place”. The lid also needs an overhang at the front and back to help stop the water driving in To our dismay the screws are starting to corrode so will probably replace those with pop rivets. Overall some good concepts but the detail has let it down

Very poor tooling with basically nothing lining up. Some of the hole where only half in the sheeting. Could not line up or use screws provided. Three sheets were not numbered to correspond with assembly directions. The bottom joiners where to short… Read more

for the sheeting. Additional right angle aluminium was purchased for the corners because of the tooling.

A Nice shed but diabolical to assemble - we needed 4 people to assemble it and push/ hold pieces in place, lots of holes didn’t line up and needed to be redrilled, video instructions were annoying as we had to keep stopping while we worked through the process, we couldn’t see the shed details in the video (hopefully a paper print plan would have… Read more

better for this), and there were lots of scrape marks on the sheets of tin when unboxed by us but hopefully we can get matching paint to touch them up. Very noticeable on Monument (dark charcoal grey colour). It drove us all crazy and took 3 days (12 hours in total) to assemble it fully due to the mental effort of putting together (still without the ground bolts installed). We will never assemble one of these ourselves again - I’m more than happy to PAY SOMEONE to do this horrible task if we ever replace it!!
