Cabins Arvostelua 

Last year I bought an 8 x 5 Holt pent shed with double doors and it's shocking quality. It's flimsy, there were lots of knot holes in the floorboards (which are pretty thin and creak a lot), corners and panel edges don't quite match up, there are splinters from unused screw holes and unfinished edges everywhere, and the only strips of wood to secure the roof felt and dividing the two windows were tongue and groove boards which look like there were chucked in the box because the proper pieces were not available. It was delivered nailed onto a palette with broken bits of wood hanging off. Altogether very disappointing and not worth the price, and I would not recommend.

After a year - despite being treated as instructed shortly after construction - the slats have shrunk so much that there are gaps in the walls, doors and round the windows that let the rain in. The plank floorboards have also shrunk and the knots have fallen out leaving lots of gaps and holes that mice get in through. The doors no longer line up so won't shut properly and the roof felt has already worn so rain is coming through.

Absolutely rubbish. If I could rate them zero that would still be too generous. I'm going to have to replace it. So p*ssed off.

Please take notice of this review before buying from this company, we wish we had done so!
Easy to order 10x8 ‘security’ shed online. Prompt delivery, all was good until the shed was delivered, to say it is poor quality is an understatement.
Shed arrives with a QR code for assembly instructions, this goes to generic instructions and not specific to the shed you buy. Consequently needed to telephone for further instructions - not a helpful start.
We employed a professional carpenter to erect and it took him 2 days, he had never seen a shed with 8 panels before, each panel very flimsy and DO NOT align.
Each panel has a small strip of wood which cover the joins, but this will mean water can go down each of the joints.
Panels, very thin. Shed is not even a month old and we have black tape over every panel from the numerous holes where the knots have come out.
The door is very thin.
Sawn wood, untreated.
Split side roof timbers.
Security shed comes with 2 standard push bolts, apparently the ‘security’ aspect is for the windows. Which is not a lot of help if you order a windowless shed as we did. No one explained this to us after we had ordered.
The back of the shed had an overhang, and is not covered by the felt. Manufacturer said it was part of the design and is needed for ‘ventilation’!
Are we happy with our shed? In truth no, not at all. 2 stars reflect the ordering and delivery.
Manufacturer completely unhelpful.
We were eventually told we could return the shed and collection would be arranged once the shed was taken down and all parts put back on the pallet. Of course this is impossible, as well the manufacturer and selling company know. The cost of this would be almost the same as the shed purchase.
Sadly, we would not recommend this company and would never buy from them again. We have learnt the hard way and will thoroughly investigate a company before purchasing, we hope this review will help others to not make the same expensive mistakes that we did.

I clearly need to take notice of independent review sites before ordering. I ordered a cabin on the 4th of April, the website suggests an 8 week turnaround inc installation. The cabin was delivered on the 27th. We were advised that it would be constructed on the 9th of June, I questioned this and was told 'it was a busy time'. So, the shed parts are just sitting on my drive...
2 weeks prior to the 9th of June, I get an email pushing back the installation to the 7th of July, so 13 weeks or 3 months from the initial order date. No explanation as to why. And of course no guarantee that the 7th of July won't get moved. I've called 4 times, waited for up to 10 mins on one occasion to get through, nobody returns my calls after telling me they'll 'get back to me'. As things stand it's the 7th of July we'll be seeing them. Luckily I paid my deposit on a credit card, so I'll seek advice from them regarding either being reimbursed or taking action.
They sell and build sheds for a living, I'd be fired if my work performance based on my ability to complete my tasks, that I'd been employed for, had a similar outcome to this.

Late delivery !, vehicle broke down then driver off sick , supposedly.
Tracking system useless
Once shed arrived , found it to be of poor quality , rough cut , modular panels were ill fitting , leaving gaps inbetween modular panels when connected. Floor and roof panels in same condition .
Panelling nails were sticking through panels , not in supports .Many additional screws were required correct this.Some panels broken when unpacked.
Overall very poor quality , not a professional build , pricing looks good , but matches the quality once you finally receive the shed.
Definitely not recommended , avoid .

ordered my cabin back in February and…
I ordered my cabin back in February and was excited to receiving it and I had a very helpful gentleman take my order and couldn’t do enough. Unfortunately this is where my positive experience ended. I was given a delivery date and took a day off work to receive it. On the day of receipt it never arrived, I wasn’t kept informed of a delay and had to follow this up only to find out it wasn’t going to arrive until the following day. Finally got my cabin and was advised to check against the inventory list for any damage or missing parts. This is a painful experience and after 5 hours of checking I sent some photos of damage only to be told that the items wouldn’t be replaced and were okay. Got a date for installation team travelled five hours only to find out they had been given the wrong size of cabin and couldn’t do anything. I finally got my cabin installed 5 months later. It has been virtually impossible to get a response despite numerous emails and it feels like they only want your money and when they have it they no longer care. I’m really disappointed with this customer experience

Order #C-000203286 – Extremely poor service, failed delivery, and now being ignored

I ordered a log cabin from Cabins.co.uk for my disabled child’s sensory needs. The delivery driver from MGP Logistics refused to deliver despite the fact that my car park is large, with direct access to my garden — perfectly suitable for curbside delivery. Instead, I was made to feel like an inconvenience and told I was “on my own” and that the cabin was too heavy. If a product requires more than one person to unload, that should be arranged in advance — it is not the customer’s problem.

I then received contradictory calls from someone named Tony at MGP Logistics (who claimed to be a manager). First she told me I could have requested a smaller truck in my order confirmation — I checked, and no such option exists. She then said it would be re-delivered on a smaller truck, then called back saying it would actually be the same truck again, and if the driver refused, no further delivery would be attempted. She even admitted the driver was “probably just being difficult because it was raining.”

I raised this with Cabins.co.uk and spoke to James a couple of times. He said he would get back to me, but I am now being ignored. Meanwhile, I have lost money paying tradespeople who were booked to assemble the cabin, and my child is still without the sensory space he needs.

This has been a stressful, expensive, and completely unacceptable experience. The company has failed in their duty under consumer law to ensure goods are delivered properly and within a reasonable timeframe. The customer service is dismissive and unhelpful, and when they say they will call back, they don’t.

I would strongly warn anyone considering ordering from Cabins.co.uk to think carefully. If things go wrong, don’t expect them to take responsibility or even return your calls.

Unnecessary drama spoiled my experience of Sixty Stores and Cabins.co.uk. Their base installer was a joker who insisted that a concrete base (that we’d paid for through them) would cost extra. I bent his way and let him install a timber base. Mercia Garden Products’ cabin installation team immediately found fault, including the fact Lee hadn’t even bothered to concrete the stakes in and put a cheap wooden platform on.

I raised Cain over this and was talked into paying a further £300 for a concrete pump to put in a base. While the BS and drama took place the unbuilt cabin itself was rotting untreated in the garden. MGP replaced it (we were on the brink of legal action) free of charge.

Lessons for you: if Sixty offer Lee to install the base, refuse. He couldn’t put up a LEGO house safely.
