“Very Disappointed - DON'T buy here”

★★☆☆☆

written by rekrap2 on 20/10/2015

First let me say that Walton’s seem good to deal with in that I had initial contact before ordering and my query was answered quickly & politely. Also the delivery service was prompt and slick.

Regrettably it's the product itself that is disappointing - very flimsy all-round with timber sizing cut right down to the bone such that in my view the spec is inadequate. The floor and roof in particular are unbelievably delicate and absolutely not fit for purpose.

I hadn't bought a garden shed in years, but they used to be substantial, truly sectional, and bolted together to create a firm structure, whereas this one was more akin to the proverbial 'house of cards'. In putting this shed together I have introduced additional materials and workmanship to strengthen and reinforce the structure, spending another £100 plus labour in the process. This involved making my own floor and roof panels plus strengthening of walls with extra timber and metal brackets.

It now stands proud and looks okay, BUT it is not strictly speaking a Walton's Shed anymore and I resent the very poor quality that was supplied .
If I was starting over, I would spend more and look more closely at how they are constructed. Then again at £260 (initial purchase price) for this one, I honestly believe I could have expected more; a decent shed that would be fit for purpose.

Sorry Walton's, but your pride in your products is seriously misplaced.
