Rowlinson Shiplap Patio Store

I bought this item intending to store a tumble dryer in it. Having seen that "John Shay" kept his washing machine in one.However I should have checked dimensions thoroughly before ordering. No way will the tumble dryer fit - my fault for not checking. Shed will still be useful though for other stuff.Two people needed for part of assembly which I managed with assistance from my son when required. I am 80+ and not a great handyman but assembled item looks OK.Side panels are not very substantial but shed seems not bad value for money compared to plastic alternatives and is more attractive than them.

I agree accurate measurements are supplied with the ad, but the accompanying pictures give a misleading impression of its size....it's tiny!

This is poorly made, some parts were damaged. Door is very bad fit. Will need treating before winter

Warning - do not order this item unless you know a carpenter - or at least a good DIY enthusiasts! Quite difficult to construct. Also, only possible to fit a washing machine IF you build the unit around the machine! Not possible to simply move the machine into the unit.Generally, unit looks nice but took time to build with the help of my DIY skilled friend who adjusted the door opening to the correct size!

Perfect size for our purposes. I ordered the version without an internal shelf as we needed the interior height. There is some space remaining, so I may add a shelf myself later. Easy to assemble and sturdy. Self coloured, so no desperate need to stain.

Received the item well packed in plastic but upon opening found that the roof and floor which are cheap reconstituted woodchip board had been subject to damp conditions and had mould growing on them. There were quite a few small splits in the wood on the front and sides as well. However the general construction is quite good. I am going to substitute the roof and floor boarding with plywood boards for extra strength but feel that it should have come with these as standard.

A. one of the boards snapped when I moved the item from where it had been delivered to where I wanted to constructB. the slats had warped in storage before I received the item, which I know is part of natural products.C. I had to buy extra nails (40mm) as the ones supplied with the item were 30mm to hold a piece of wood which measured 28mm to chipboard. Not a great expense, but not one I should have had to make for an all pieces included kit.D. the chipboard supplied for roof and floor is untreated (or badly treated) such that I needed to coat with fence paint for water tightness and longevity.E. BEWARE that the dimensions include overhangs of roof and supports, so the dimensions given are for the size of box needed to accommodate the fully built "shed" and are not indicative of the internal dimensions.

Looks nice when assembled parts of the wood was warped so couldn’t use. Overpriced for what it is.
