Several problems
This was a disappointment as it arrived incomplete and assembly could not begin until the missing parts had arrived. Some of the parts were quite poorly finished with rough sawn edges and large splinters and several large chunks out of edges of panels. Some of the fittings were also inadequate, in particular half of the roofing felt nails (those that arrived with the second delivery) were too short to fasten one thickness of felt to the roof, never mind the two they were meant to! The quality of the roof sheeting was also quite poor and, when fitted following the manufacturer's instructions felt very flimsy, requiring additional brackets to properly fix it. That said, having made the modifications which were necessary, tidied up the rough edges and finally assembled the building we are quite pleased with the finished article. Do not however think that this will be a simple assembly as, if your experience is anything like ours, you will be required to think on your feet and adapt as you assemble.
