Darwin 6x4

We bought this shed for a minimal upkeep alternative, ideally we would have had a custom shed built for our space but surprisingly this shed fits the majority of our stuff. The building was relatively easy, the instructions were good at some parts, others were a bit more difficult to figure out what was going on from the diagram. Some parts didn't fully fit together but it just needed a bit of manipulation or pressure to fit when screwing in the different parts. Why did you choose this product over others?: Easy maintenance and looks great.

Sturdy, excellent, good looking shed The base needs to be put together with gravel+cement. The flatter & sturdier the base is made, the better. Preparation for the base takes time,it cannot be rushed. It was well worth paying for the shed to be assembled. The bottom of the shed inside needs to be reinforced with plyboard. It’s like walking on a ship in harbour. But these issues were caused by inexperience, never having bought a shed before. It was exhausting.

Great shed that is a handy alternative to a wooden shed. I have originally ordered a wooden one but as I am renting and seeing the quality of the sheds for the price these days I was put off and chose a plastic shed instead. I did my pre reading on the difficulty of assembly and was concerned by a couple of reviews here, but honestly, I don’t know how they could get it so wrong. It had clear instructions that were easy to follow. I will say that not all panels are marked but it’s easy enough to figure out what is what. It did take a while to build however, at around 4 hours. The roof is the most difficult part and why I have knocked a star off. Unfortunately, the instructions tell you to bend panels to get them back into a slot when fitting the roof. Even with plastic shims I have used on fitting car interiors, we did damage a couple of the panels doing as instructed. I’m not even particularly strong so that was disappointing. Otherwise the plastic quality is fantastic and much better than some of the other thinner walled solutions out there. The doors did rub initially but seem to be lined up perfectly now. Finally there is no water ingress in the last month since purchasing (Feb 2026) which is probably as bad as it is going to get for the shed. Finally, it was packaged well and a bespoke haulage firm delivered it and placed it in my back garden. At 60kg you wouldn’t want to be doing that yourself! Very happy with it!

As it’s plastic, (which seems good quality) you never need to treat it or paint it and obviously waterproof. The colour is fine too. No leaks, instructions very clear, perfect size and great value for money, what more do you want! Only down side would be you can’t swap the doors around to have it open up on the other side first. But that’s not really a deal breaker.

Grabbed this while it was on sale (£299) to replace a slightly larger timber shed that was incorrectly installed by the previous owners of the house and starting to rot. This arrived in a single box which is quite bulky and heavy to move, Amazon’s delivery was fantastic however leaving it in the garden even though no one was there to instruct them. The box did have everything included, a couple of panels did have some scuffs on them but I wasn’t going to go through the hassle of asking for them to be replaced, just tried to use them for panels facing the fence. Assembly was relatively simple, took around 5 hours on my own (Would be a lot easier with an extra pair of hands, but I was rushing to get it built before expected rain so did it on my own). The instructions are relatively straightforward and easy to follow, just take your time and read them again if you get stuck. The most difficult parts to assemble are: 1- getting the second roof panel of each side to slide into position without either breaking the panel itself, or your own fingers, it takes a lot of patience and do try to avoid hitting the ends too hard with a mallet, you will ‘crush’ them if not careful. 2- Screwing the door hinges into the metal frame, this was incredibly frustrating and took too much time for no good reason, the pre-drilled holes are simply drilled too small for the screws provided, using the 3 mm drill bit didn’t make them any better, and using the 4 mm made them too big, so it was between using plastic plugs to get the screws to bite, or wait for the next day to grab some different screws, I went for the plastic plugs and the doors are still standing. The shed looks good once assembled, the doors did line-up with little effort (Wouldn’t have any issues on a solid base, my advice? Do NOT install PVC sheds on a gravel base, unless the base is guaranteed to be 110% level), and make sure you anchor it well, it is super light and will most likely be blown away if the wind was at the right speed and direction. The shed should be a lot easier to maintain compared to timber ones, but the compromise is the stability of it, it is very risky to lean anything on the walls like I did in the old timber one, you can literally feel the whole structure leaning when you do that (Even a lightweight bike on the wall, I soon took it off and had the bike rest on a heavy box in the shed instead). It has so far proved to be watertight after a few torrential downpours, weather is also turning a bit Autumnal and Winter will test its frost proofing capabilities. I am generally happy with it and would recommend it, will also update if encountered any issues in the future, otherwise please assume all is well.

Very cheap parts and poor quality control. Multiple parts came with the wrong measurements, and it is terrible putting the poorly printed parts together. Save your time and money and get another shed.

Great shed and really easy to assemble. The hardest part was levelling the ground after that the shed was up in a couple of hours. Really fair price too.

What a great looking shed. I took notice of the other reviews and It took me an hour to lay a level gravel base (I used plastic grids) The shed was delivered on time at 16:15 and It took 2 people 3 hours to build in total using an impact screwdriver. The instructions are simple and in most instances are clear, some steps you need to take a minute to make sure you are doing it right. As other people have mentioned installing the roof section is the most difficult but to make it easier on step 30 we only screwed the back 2 screws and screwed the front 2 when the roof was completed so that we had wiggle room and didn’t have to bend the roof sections. A piece of plastic ( old credit card) saved damage to the shed and fingers on step 33, and step 43 is wrong it shows the roof supports being screwed from the inside when you need to screw them on from the outside. We only noticed this at the end and it was dark and had started to rain when we had finished and I couldn’t be bothered to unscrew it all so left it that way. On checking the next day it was totally dry inside but as I live in the north of England I will go over all the joints with a brown sealer just to make sure.
