Your building will be made fresh for you since all of our wooden buildings (Sheds, Summerhouses, Workshops, Log Cabins, etc.) are made to order.

Our aim is to maintain a large stock of all accessories and extras on our website, which means it is very unlikely that any of the advertised products will be out of stock. Nevertheless, if you order an accessory or extra item that is later found to be out of stock, we will make every effort to produce it and deliver it within the time frame. In the unlikely event that this is not possible, we will find a suitable replacement for you or refund your payment.

You will only hear from the delivery company once your goods have travelled through the delivery network to arrive with the depot closest to you and this may take a couple of days following the day dispatch your order.

Do not worry if you do not hear anything for a few weeks as the delivery day is usually only booked once the local depot to you commences scheduling.
