Our pressure-treated structures last up to 30 years with proper maintenance. This exceeds industry standards through superior construction techniques and high-quality material selection.
Can I customize my garden building?
Yes, we offer full customization including window/door placement, decorative trim, insulation upgrades, and paint/stain finishes to meet individual requirements.
What site preparation is required?
The site needs a level base with minimum 18-inch clearance around the structure. We offer free site surveys to assess installation requirements and recommend appropriate foundation solutions.

Report
Ordered a summer house in May and delivery was confirmed for 30th November. I was told a few days before delivery they had no windows and that they would install the shed without windows and come back 3-4 weeks later to fit them. Disappointed as you can imagine but said ok but would hold back some of the money until they returmed.to fit. They said it was not possible and they required full payment now. I then said i would delay the install until they had the windows but they said if i did that then it would be April next year or i could have my deposit back !! Nearly 12 months after my order.

Didn't visit site but saw a works van parked across two disabled spaces on a big car park with lots of empty spaces whilst the workmen had their extended breakfast in a cafe nearby. Poor.

We ordered our shed from Avant Garden Centre. James was really helpful, advising us that we could collect from the factory as we needed it quite quickly. He gave us a date, I called to ensure it was ready, the day before. All the staff were great, we arrived and our shed was all lined up, ready to take away. They provided all the accessories, nails, screws, edging strips. Billy was really helpful, above and beyond, advising that if we had any issues when we were assembling, just give a call for telephone support. The shed itself is very heavy, sturdy and exceptionally well made. It's now in our
