Not recommended!

Bought one for my wife and she won't sleep in it!

Just called Tesco & asked for an update on this as I wasn't hopeful of it being processed, they guy called the shed company who have been inundated with orders, out of stock atm, more due in about 19/20th Feb & there delivery company will call to arrange suitable delivery, hope this helps?

Yes, the bits you mention are pre-built. Here's a link to the instructions. I don't know about a more suitable material to cover the roof, but my delivery came with what appears to be a roll of standard roofing felt.

You can see on this link to the shed on the Forest website, that they add an extra £135 to the RRP for the shed to be assembled, so this gives an idea of the amount of work involved.

It took me and one other about 3 hours to complete shed, I used some old slabs and an old shed floor for my base to lift 6 inches of the ground.

wow this is cheap. do I buy one now as moving house in a couple if months and may need it??

prob cheap for a reason.

Pressure treating is worth about £40 on a shed this size so great value

Not recommended!

Bought one for my wife and she won't sleep in it!

Gah! Can't get page to load

Thanks OP. I was waiting on a cheapish shed and this fits the bill nicely. I've had my order confirmed and I hope they will honour it, as I think they may run out of stock very soon.

​it says on the description that it has tongue and grove flooring

good spot. Definately a bargain

thanks op ordered! hope this is honoured
as we really need a new shed

Thanks op

Thanks op

Tempted to get it and turn it into my "girl shed" :wink:

Bargain! My husband has ANOTHER man cave :laughing: Thank you so much for posting.

15 year anti rot guarantee

I paid £550 for a 10 x 8 without treatment so this is a great price

Bargain

Thanks OP ordered. Hot Deal

cracking price

Thanks signed up for a free months delivery trial as well.

i was going to do that too, but couldn't see anywhere that you can cancel before the months up, didn't want to tie into something!

all gone

7mm thick...is that good...doesn't sound it?
irrelevant now it seems

OOS???

Damn.

Back in stock.

Gutted none left damn

Might not be honoured then.

Can add to basket...but.......

Sorry, we don't have enough Timberdale 6x8 Overlap Pressure Treated Apex Shed Double Door items in stock right now. This item (s) has been added to your save for later basket. You can try to purchase this item again by reducing its quantity.

Cheers Kev for the explanation

Expired?

Missed this

It only takes a phone all to customer services to cancel. I'm going to make the most of it this month first though :-)

We will see. No big deal if it is as the space it's going in is approximately 4 inches too short. Could save me a headache.

cold not in stock

I use the link shows on the payment page and sign for the free trial, after that, you could go back to that page and there is option to change plan or do cancellation (before the trial) on spot, just a few click.

It seems that I do not need to ring up (tesco free phone) for cancellation. Also the page have FAQ so it sounds very helpful.

I found out I could do it on my free trial page for cancellation too, it would be much easier for me.

I once bought an overlap shed... never again they are terrible!

Just ordered. Thanks OP, been keeping an eye out for a shed for a while now

Just out of interest - presumably you can put the doors (or the wall with the window) on the opposite side when you assemble? - I would have this in a corner, so would need to be able to do this. Is it just a matter of choosing when you assemble it?

EDIT - ignore me, says you can do this on the page.

Better off with a shiplap not overlap shed as it will last you far longer and is more secure

great thanks op just ordered

OOS

cracking deal, promised myself a new shed when our last chicken passes on....she is still going strong though!

It seems in stock again.

Managed to bag one of these thanks, we're after a shed for the new house.

Just ordered one cheers op. Just kept putting into basket and checking out. Eventually worked

Checked out no problem 2 minutes ago so not OOS just yet. The real problem is telling the missus I've bought another shed. Damn you HUKD!

Cheers OP!

Very good, my last overlap shed lasted more than 20 years
This one looks better so ordered it

Ordered thanks

was looking for a wendy house/playhouse, but I think this will do the job (I hope) as
in stock , and
just completed order
actually I think they do have more stock as I accidentally added 3 to my basket, then had to remove 2

Should I cancel my order and re order it with free delivery trial?

Just managed to order - definitely get the garden sorted this year.......maybe :stuck_out_tongue:

It took me ages to checkout, so may not get another one if you do cancel.....

You could say that about everything on HUKD. That's the whole point of the site - to find things that are cheap!

Just got one

also just got one...seems too good to be true though!

I know. Probably will be cancelled

And how much shiplap would set you back?
This is cracking deal for what it is!!

back in stock

Cheers just ordered ..

Great find. Cheers to OP. Ordered. :smiley:

also ordered. heat
fingers crossed now that it turns up

BACK IN STOCK GUYS xxxx ( sadly not needed until the Summer for me)

A great find with staff discount and clubcard vouchers got it for £110 just hope it doesn't get cancelled

Worth purchasing now and storing until the summer...personally I cant see this price being repeated again

how much room would I need to put this in? I know the size obviously, but is it OK to put it right next to a wall? also, do I need a base for it, or is it OK to put it straight onto grass?

thanks just ordered really needed a new shed thanks so much !!!!!!!!!!

Delivery in 2 weeks ?

thanks! shed sorted! tried to buy for a year but too expensive :smile: heat added

Just ordered one, have been looking at sheds for awhile just to store garden tools etc in so to keep the garage clear for the cars. Did want an all singing all dancing shed but for £150, this is a cheap temporary that we'll easily get our monies worth out of. Signed up for free delivery trial and used club card points making it £85, bargain!

Good deal. If I bought this people might call me 'Two Sheds' though :-)

Said old, tried again 1 mine later and was back in stock.

Just ordered, fantastic deal! Thanks.

Look for plastic shed base on ebay, £2 per sq ft

​​​I think it would be better with enough space round it to walk well enough to squeeze and re paint/stain it every few years. I would also put on a base for stability and to prevent rot. You could put it on the cheapest of cheap slabs as they will be covered up. My mates put a plastic shed base kit. Really cheap and quick and go direct on grass - just search Google or eBay for shed base kit. I'd always prefer slabs though!!

Bought one installed from a centre - pretty much the same version for 600!

This is a bargain, got one a couple of months ago for £200 which was cheap then compared to everywhere else online for a pressure treated shed, its a cracking shed even if you paid the £319 price compared to the dip treated sheds around. Tempted to get another

Mine was the single door, just looked and no longer on sale, shame. Would have been great for my bike.

Not available now.

Those plastic bases seem to be about £60+. You'll need some sort damp proofing to stop the bottom rotting.

I'd recommend that you leave some room on each side for airflow (you don't want either the shed getting damp and prematurely rotting, and if it's a house wall, you certainly don't want to block off airflow!). This will also help when it comes to re-painting/staining the shed.

Similarly, you should have the shed raised off the ground, as this won't be rated for in-ground contact (either some timber bearers, slabs or the plastic bases that have already been mentioned).

Hope this helps!

The cracking is the bit that worries me ;-)

they just sent me a refund email!

Good price. Though I 'm not too keen on shed felt (birds, and cats rip it up). Has anyone added epdm covering ?

Also would one put in a concrete base for this? (the small flatroof shed installed by our previous owner was installed on sand/paving slabs so subsided)

​seriously? :disappointed:

Ordered ! Order succeed after 3 attempts on checkout, Thanks.

You would want the shed floor to be level and stable - if you don't make sure of this, you'll be in for a lot more problems down the line. How you go about achieving this is optional however!

For instance, my current shed (10x10) is supported by concrete blocks at each corner, which sit on a crushed bed of aggregate.
A concrete base is certainly a good way of providing a solid foundation - however, I would expect that some people might consider this overkill for such a cheap shed to begin with (I'm not implying that would be the case).

:neutral_face:

just had confirmation of delivery for Monday.

Ordered 3. Perfect for my slumlord business.

In the description it says:
"Sturdy door braced with double ""Z"" framing for added strength and security. Can be hung on either side."

Just curious, either side of what??

mine is due to be delivered 23rd feb

Just called Tesco & asked for an update on this as I wasn't hopeful of it being processed, they guy called the shed company who have been inundated with orders, out of stock atm, more due in about 19/20th Feb & there delivery company will call to arrange suitable delivery, hope this helps?

Very helpful. Cheers

I expect it means: Hinges on left or hinges on right

I'm rather hoping it's left and right, as it's a double door, would look mighty odd otherwise..

Delivery booked for Tuesday :-) thanks op

I just got a text message from Forest Online and was able to book my delivery for Saturday. Thanks again to the OP.

So Tesco take orders and sub it to another company who themselves also sub the making to another company!

I would assume either side of the shed! Or alternatively they could say the window can be on either side.

hi, thanks OP.

get a text from http://www.forestonlineordertracking, asking to book a date on their website Your text here

On that page, very easy steps : I could choice date from the calendar table (of which already showing all available dates).

The best that I could also type any delivery issue/remarks on the booking too, so far so good.

PS could only book date, not mention any about time slot (eg once amazon surprise me came at 8pm last month! I am not on Prime)

cheers for the link - link worked for me but it says

Hi, could you tell me when did you order your shed.

Hi, I ordered it on 06.02.2017 Mon 21:03 pm ( complete the payment after lots of trouble to get it from the basket to check out page)

sorry I forget to mention : after complete the booking on their web page, there are no confirmation email or text (up to now since last night), so hope everything went smoothly. (if need, I could contact them with the phone no/email address shown on that booking web page)

I ordered mine 8.30 Monday I also got the text but phoned them. The woman was very helpful she said we would get a text the day before delivery saying which time slot you're allotted and that the driver would phone when he's 1 delivery away probably about 1/2 an hour before he arrives.

i have also had the text from them - looks like its one of these deals which has come through - very happy bunny

I'm still waiting for a text but didn't order until the Tuesday morning at 8:27am

No text for me yet - ordered at 11.30pm on the Monday

i ordered 8am Tuesday. money has been taken, and when I track my order on the forest site it says:

"We are working hard to get the delivery of your order for 1 Apex Overlap Pressure Treated Double Door 8x6 to you and we will be in contact with you shortly. "

Hi, thanks very much for all the details, I am very appreciated.

sorry to hear that, hopefully they would sort it out and delivery one to you as schedule.

I've just taken delivery of my shed. The 2 delivery men told me they had come from Kidderminster and had a load more deliveries to do in the South West today.

Needless to say it looks like the shed will take a bit of putting together.

I am due to take delivery next Saturday

How much putting together will be required? I assume that the sides and two halves of the roof are already built?

There has also been mention of a more suitable material to cover the roof. Would it be possible to post a link to this please?

Yes, the bits you mention are pre-built. Here's a link to the instructions. I don't know about a more suitable material to cover the roof, but my delivery came with what appears to be a roll of standard roofing felt.

You can see on this link to the shed on the Forest website, that they add an extra £135 to the RRP for the shed to be assembled, so this gives an idea of the amount of work involved.

Just checked the link again and arranged delivery!

Gutted I missed this one.

Awwwh :disappointed:

Anyone suggest the best value base for this?

I'm still waiting on the text message to arrange delivery , hopefully hear soon ..

apparently my order is being collected by streamline couriers tomorrow and I will hear by the 16th via phone call what my delivery date will be

mine just turned up, looks easy enough. reckon 1hour -1.30 should do it

I ordered two for delivery to N.Ireland and was half expecting it to be cancelled but all credit to them being delivered next week ...many thanks op for a cracking post

is it up yet :innocent:

Just had a phone call, being delivered Friday. Thanks op

Hi, sorry to trouble you, could you kindly let me know how big the package are, I am thinking I have to clear out all or half of my stuffs at the driveway? Thanks in advance

thanks so much for the details

sorry to trouble you, could you kindly let me know how big the package are, I am thinking I have to clear out all or half of my stuffs at the driveway? Thanks in advance

sorry to trouble you, could you kindly let me know how big the package are, I am thinking I have to clear out all or half of my stuffs at the driveway? Thanks in advance

They're not packages as such. Mainly just panels and batons. I wouldn't think you'd have to move anything to make room.

Mine was delivered today. It's Great quality. Thanks op fantastic deal, been looking for a shed for ages.

thanks so much for your message, it is very helpful and I could relief now.

anyone put theirs up yet ?? any pictures if possible.

Delivery of mine tomorrow, need to get me a base now

Oddly I have another phone call today to arrange delivery, I only ordered one and arranged delivery yesterday for it. Will see if two turn up on Friday or not,

Just checked on website and mine was available to book delivery :smiley: awesome

Does anybody know what order number to use on this website to check your order status. Tried the tesco direct one but didn't work. Tesco are just saying delivery on the 23rd for me.
http://www.forestonlineordertracking.info/Default.aspx

after I read your post, I go back with my Tesco order no and post code, it shows my booking day on http://www.forestonlineordertracking
(PS do check if tesco direct get your delivery post code in right order, sometime they mix it up)

then I log back to my Tesco direct order page and it marks delivery on 23.02.17 but it is not my booking day!

So I doubt your delivery date is on 23th, I think Tesco just tell you what he/she sees on the screen (as a formal delivery schedule setting to all accounts for such items), if in doubt, may I suggest it is the best to ring/email the delivery company instead. Hope everything works out for you.

just had my shed delivered half an hour ago, was due between 8-6 so it's a bonus that I don't need to stay in all day now. thanks again op the quality looks great!

Just had mine delivered. Driver says he is now going to Coventry.

I emailed them and they said that they are planning for delivery next week - great job. Thanks again OP.

My shed was delivered yesterday. For the price, it looks great. I have already managed to buy a Forest Garden shed base from Wilko for £65 + £8.
http://www.wilko.com/shed-bases/shed-base-8x6/invt/0436819

Looked at those, but the reviews put me off

Reviews put me off too. Got 8 3x2 slabs instead

Ha, ours isn't coming until march! Yippee!

Hi, I received my shed on Thursday. One of the chipboard roof panels looks like it's been dropped on its corner with the corner about to fall off, I will be in contact with them. Can anyone confirm what the windows are like please? The description states polycarbonate glazing, I have some really floppy 1mm plastic which looks like I could break it easily. Polycarbonate glazing should be near indestructable? Any help is greatly appreciated :smiley:

it's sounds like we received the same thing for our window as you did. we initially felt it was really flimsy but once assembled it does feel strong and I'm confident that a stone or something similar wouldn't be able to break it if it was thrown at the shed.

First shed has arrived. Looks decent quality for the money. The "glass" is a thin molded sheet of plastic rather like that you get with blister pack of goods. It's an unusual approach, but I reckon it'll do the job OK. A sharp knife would likely cut through it though.

Very friendly and helpful delivery driver.

I have built mine and very happy with it, As said before the window plastic is weird but it works.

What base did you use?

How long did it take to put up ?

Mine coming in a couple weeks, going for a concrete base at only £70/£80.

Mine arrived yesterday. Thanks op :smiley:

It took me and one other about 3 hours to complete shed, I used some old slabs and an old shed floor for my base to lift 6 inches of the ground.

Silly question, but can i leave the unassembled bits in the garden till the weekend or do i need to keep some bits dry i.e the floor perhaps?

Mines been leaning up the wall for a week now, it will be weeks before I actually erect it. But at the price just could not say no, 15 year anti rot so should be ok

up and looks great. took 3 hours all done.

Windows are thin plastic.

Show us your sheds

Two of mine are up. First one took around 4 hours on my own, the second about two with the grudging help of my missus. Hopefully will get the last one up this weekend - weather permitting.

why u need 3 sheds

Ours was delivered this morning, delivery driver was a right grump!!
Moaned that he couldn't park directly outside, so I moved my car creating a space big enough for him to park in, fine so far, then he just stood next to the van saying well I don't know how I'm going to manage this!!
To be fair we live in a cul de sac with a green outside so you have to walk approx 15 metres from the road to our front door & they'd sent 1 man to do what I imagine is a 2 man job.
Luckily my husband had the day off, so was home & able to help, not that he was happy about me offering his services.

Just wanted to ask if everyone has the same issue as me?

I got the shed last week. Put it together yesterday and there is a gap between the two doors. Is this normal or should I contact them for a replacement. Thanks

Will let you know tomorrow when i stick my doors on.

Problem i am having , is the metal z brackets...screwing these into the roof chipboard causes the screw to come out the other side (roof side)....am i putting them in the wrong place?

Mine had a gap between the two doors we put a piece of wood down one side of it so when doors closed there was no gap, hope this helps

Why are you trying to screw them into the roof? Despite the hole they are only designed to add strength to take pressure off the edge of the roof not to be screwed in. Instructions do not make that clear.

That is correct.
