Looks better than your average garden shed – Please Note: This review will be based on several sub-heading categories to allow readers to skip using their smart mobile devices or computer systems to jump to sections where the information matters most. Headings - Introduction - Customer Service - Products - Pros Vs Cons - Final Thoughts INTRODUCTION As per my previous review regarding the Keter Grande Store, this product was purchased around the same time as the Keter Manor which is titled in this review.

The purpose of this product was to house shelving racks along with the lawn mower, paint and all manor of things relating to gardening and so on. I wanted to separate the garage dedicated as a home gym.

CUSTOMER SERVICE As with my previous review on the Keter Grande Store; I bought this from the same supplier, Bunnings. I had same problems as previously raised where I had a range of issues. They were resolved through a builder I hired to get some of my other simultaneous projects sorted.

PRODUCTS I have no experience in buying garden sheds; other than the traditional sense of metal and concrete slabs; I just did not want something that was just distasteful. The Keter Manor compared to the Keter Grande Store; is much more stylish in the way it stands out... as something contemporary and classic at the same time.

PROS vs CONS PROS - looks aesthetically pleasing - water proof

CONS - The instructional manual is difficult to read; my builder's laborers had great difficulty - The locking mechanism is annoying, much more than the Keter Grande Store; because the lock (bought from Bunnings) is very hard to put on. The manual does not tell you the size of the hole; everything is just a guess after its put together - Price, it is not cheap, far from it - It came with its own flooring, but had a concrete slab put into help the overall structure and stability - The shelving rack I bought from Bunnings (Rack-It 400Kg and 1000Kg); where my partner and I moved it without disassembly to from the garage to the Keter Manor... a big surprise... had to disassemble it and put it back together afterwards - plastic transparent windows needs to be blacked out to avoid prying eyes - smaller than it really is in size (Bunnings had no life-size showcase model)

FINAL THOUGHTS The same applies with the comments I raised with the Keter Grande Store. I did not really want a metal shed which you can purchase cheaply. I wanted something that was more pleasing to look at; more practical. In future, I will definitely go with something much bigger than the Manor 6x8; I had problems moving shelving racks into it.

Unfortunately, there is not a great deal of choice especially when looking at your Australian hardware providers, such as Bunnings. If it should be another Keter; then it should be a Factor or Oakland series.

Hi Milford, thanks for your Manor review. I think Id agree with everything you have said mostly. For the best service though, you should order from us :) Bunnings don't really know the Keter range like we do, we are one of the few authorised retailers in Australia. As you have pointed out, the Manor is Keters' entry level shed, we sell a lot of them but the Oakland and Artisans are their premium sheds and offer a lot more in features and functionality. If you are looking for something that looks a LOT better than a colorbond shed, Keter is the answer. I would also say a quicker and easier assembly job as well, usually half the time of a metal shed, metal sheds are well known for being terrible to put together.
