GBStay as far away from this product as… Stay as far away from this product as possible! An absolute nightmare to assemble, flimsy as all hell and an overall piece of crap! I've assembled many sheds over the years and never have I've come across such an abortion case as this! Unmarked components, less than informative instructions and it's like trying to build a house of cards when assembling! I can't believe that they even put something like this out on the market! An absolute piece of garbage!!! Save yourself the aggravation and avoid this at all costs!!!

GBAbsolutely delighted with my recent… Absolutely delighted with my recent purchase/delivery and build of my lovely greenhouse. I was a bit aprehensive (at 77yrs of age) building it......but, in all honesty it all went together perfectly (patience and reading the instructions twice before each step works wonders). I now have a very happy wife, and you know what that means "happy wife, happy life". 100% for service. I should also add that during the build of the greenhouse, I lost / misplaced one of the door lock assembly components....Parlam were contacted through Amazon and very swiftly (and I mean very, very quickly) replaced the complete door lock components free of charge.

GBCanopia Herald 1.4 x 4.5 metre canopy Canopia Herald 1.4 x 4.5 metre canopy. This is an attractive and effective canopy, supplied with good, quite easy to follow installation instructions and is quite straightforward to build with a couple of fiddly jobs, installation took about 1 working day. My experience was that almost all the build was a 1 person task, another helper was needed, briefly, for positioning the beam against the wall and installing the glazing. Almost all packaging is recycle able but on opening there was some damage to a few components, scuffs, bends and dents - improved packaging may solve. It would be better if the information that buying sealant for assembly is needed is available before the boxes are opened. I’d rather collect all I need to assemble before I start, rather than open boxes, read instructions go to Toolstation then start again. I think that the recommended silicone lubricant is essential when installing the rubber seal to the extension, it’s a fiddly task and tucking the end under the metalwork 1.4 metres away is tricky, a long flat screwdriver helped. Not sure about the permanence of the black plastic nut caps, I’m sure I’ll be waking up to many of those on the drive in the summer, maybe a spot of silicone sealant when fitting is a good idea. I’d recommend the canopy, it’s a good price, easily installed and nicely finished (if not damaged).

GBNot fit for purpose Do not buy a Palram Oasis polycarbonate greenhouse if you live in a place subject to strong winds eg Scotland.. I live in Edinburgh and this greenhouse blew down within a couple of months of purchase. I managed to re-erect it and secured the roof to the base using wires fed through the roof struts. This did prevent the structure from disappearing down the street during a recent storm but it didn’t prevent it from imploding. It now lies in pieces in my garage awaiting the visit of an insurance assessor.

GBEASY TO BREAK-IN TO PALRAM 6X8 SKYLIGHT SHED I bought this shed in the summer, it looked fine, but last night it was broken into, it became clear that this shed can be broken into in less than 60 seconds. The door hinge has 4 exposed screws (part no 8480) all someone has to do is unscrew 3 of these and the door can be opened and no mater what sort of lock you have on the other door it does not matter, Very Very poor not to have some sort of fixing over the door fixing to make it impossible to get to the screws
