Hi Summer Garden Buildings.

I am just emailing to make you aware of the return heading to you from tomorrow, as per a conversation I had with someone on site there.

Basically, I ordered 4 solar lights for my garage and thought I would test 1, this has not been bright enought for our location so looking to return and get a refund on the other 3.

The person on the phone when we spoke about this told me to just send these back and a refund will be produced.

I have atached the original order to this email as well so you can trace this back.

The garage is fantastic and went up as smooth as possible with a few minor alterations.

If you have any questions please call me.

Many Thanks

Hi

Thank you for your very helpful email.

The handle store site is very good and I am sure I will find a replacement.

The summerhouse is looking as good as new, I am particularly pleased with the shingle roof.

Wish I had space for another one! The manufacture of the summer house was so good I made up a saying "if it don't fit you have got the wrong bit".

Regards

Robert

PS. The phone works I am too slow in answering!

Hi

I've tried phoning your mobile but I don't think it works.
Regrettably we have no spare handles from that time ourselves, however we have found two good websites, one of which we have used in the past. They are handlestore.com and ironmongerydirect.co.uk.
You will need to search for a lever handle on a back plate with a cut out for a cylinder lock (also known as a eurolock). Hope this helps.
Sorry we cannot help more.

I have one of your log cabins for some years. The door handle is rusted badly and I am having difficulty finding a replacement. I am looking for a brass replacement.
The log cabin was delivered many years ago. Can you help?

Just to let you know that the garden benches arrived yesterday afternoon, which I think is an excellent delivery time for the Shetland Isles.
The benches are just what I wanted and I am very pleased.
I am so glad that you deliver to these Isles. So many companies say its not possible, but you have proved that it is!

Many thanks from a happy customer living in Britains most northerly village.

Delivery & assembly review

Many thanks for your prompt service to the Isle of Wight. Despatched yesterday my order arrived at lunchtime today rather than 3-5 working days.
I have assembled the item and wish to point out three issues:
The instructions sent were photocopies, and useful information was clipped off along the bottom in the process, namely which type of screw is which. Common sense does prevail, though.
The pre-drilled diagonally adjacent holes in the horizontal rails numbered 4 are spaced incorrectly, being too far apart for both screws to screw into the legs. They should be about a centimetre closer, so drilling correct holes becomes advisable to maintain integrity.
In diagram 2, it seems as if screws P and S have become interchanged for retaining the side braces and then the rear braces. The longer screws obviously pass through where required. Common sense again, but some people might be confused.
Maybe you should open a package and construct it to check these issues. I have seen clearer instructions back in the early MFI days!
Otherwise, it is a sturdy construction.
Regards,

David, Bembridge, Isle of Wight, PO35, Potting Bench 313, 5th June 2018

Dear Jonathan,

Firstly my apologies, I promised to report on the sauna and I completely forgot. (Too busy using the sauna perhaps?)

We are completely delighted with the sauna which has been regularly used and also attracted much favourable comment from friends and family. If you would like to use us as a reference we’d be happy to oblige.

I made some notes on the sauna which I hope you’ll find helpful and constructive. One or two very minor changes would make an excellent product even better.

Regards

Dear Sirs, my wife and I are very pleased with the recent purchases from yourselves as to the quality and installation. The boys fitting the shed were very efficient and very capable. The team from (INSTALLER 971), your introduction, were similarly good and very helpful. I have advised Paul that we would not hesitate to recommend. AND that applies to yourselves for the courteous and efficient way we were looked after throughout the process. Thank you once again.

Yous faithfully,

Hi,

I have had my potting shed delivered and installed today - and the guys did an excellent job! One little thing - I’ve just realised that the lights aren’t here. (Outside solar LEDs, ordered with the shed.)
I’m not sure if they were meant to be installed, or if they’re coming on their own. Could you please confirm?

Many thanks,

Dear John.

Thank you for your very prompt reply, especially so at the weekend. I was being slightly facetious about dismantling the greenhouse. Your idea is the one I was going to try so thank you for confirming that it can be done, I am sure it will fit.

Dear Erik

You should not need to dismantle the greenhouse. You just need to unbolt 2 uprights at the bottom or the top, whichever looks easier. You can leave the other end attached and you can leave the glazing in. Unbolt them separately, one at a time. Move the upright very carefully by just enough to allow you to squeeze the head of a bolt into the bolt channel, then move it back and tighten it up again. It only takes a few minutes. We have retro fitted this and other similar products in our display greenhouses at our show centre here in Norwich.

I hope this helps but if not please contact us again.

Thanks for your order.

John

Your aluminium greenhouse shelves are great value and well made, however I think you should make the following point on your website regarding these shelves. They cannot be easily retro fitted, the bolts need to be fitted before final completion of the greenhouse as they have to be fitted into the slot of the greenhouse walls. As my greenhouse is complete with glass I am now looking at an easy way of fitting the shelves without taking the greenhouse apart. Wish me luck.

All details correct, thanks for your great service and patience on the phone to ensure we got this right!

Just received my greenhouse staging from you and wanted to let you know his pleased I am with the quality of the product, especially as it so very reasonably priced...much cheaper than most others I have seen. I was also very impressed with your customer service , someone rang me to make sure they knew where they could safely leave it if I wasn't in. I have saved your website which I will be sure to check first fir any future requirements I have.

Patricia, Okehampton, Devon, EX20, Greenhouse Staging 346, 15th February 2018

Hi Paul,
Thought I'd drop you a quick line about the last one we fitted for you.
Someone miscalculated how many bolts we needed as we were about 60 number short, luckily we carry stock. Ditto with the glass joiners think we were 6 short of those too! Probably because the drawings show 1 piece of glass but we obviously had to double up as you'd sent smaller glass in a crate. We actually quite enjoyed the build as we haven't come across that system before ( similar to a Jansen?) complicated little system ain't it? No worries though just took us a bit longer but customers were over the moon
Cheers

Hello there

I made an enquiry yesterday about an installation problem with the polycarbonate sheets on my lean to. After the discussion I went an adjusted the window framing and everything came together !! Thank you for the advice.

Best regards.

Ron, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14, 4x6 Lean to Greenhouse 045, 7th February 2018

Dear Sir,
I have now had the opportunity to assemble and erect my new greenhouse. I am generally very pleased with the product quality and the precision in assembly. I would like to add that more detailed assembly instruction would have been welcome. I have one request however. When fitting the lower seal on the greenhouse base I found that I the seal length was significantly short, but about 1.5 meters. It may be that I exacerbated the situation by installing the seal without due considerations of stretching into place, however the seal I have installed seems to fit nicely. I would ask therefore if I can obtain a further 1.5 meters of seal to complete the install.

Thanks in advance

Ian, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12, 6x6 Greenhouse 017, 5th February 2018

Dear Sirs,

Your greenhouse arrived at 10.30 this morning, thank you, and I look forward to receiving the other few items tomorrow.

Your driver was excellent. He was very friendly, cheerful and highly efficient and he's worth his weight in diamonds to your company.

My old greenhouse will be dismantled and taken away over the weekend so that your erector will be welcome on any day next week apart from Friday 9th February or later if his diary is already full. We are expecting the other few items tomorrow, Friday 2nd so all should be OK for the job. Perhaps he would like to call me to fix a date.

Thank you for your first class service.

David, Haddenham, Aylesbury, HP17, 6x8 Greenhouse 136, 1st February 2018

Bought an 8ft 2 tier wooden staging (324) for Christmas. Been waiting for some decent wether before assembling it. Great product. Best set of assembly instructions I've come across. One tiny comment, though. The fixing kit consists of two types of screws; the long ones were fine, but the short ones were of thicker gauge, with significantly bigger cross-heads for screwing. These screws are for the corner braces. Mangaged to fit the two screws that go into the vertical legs, but the single screw that goes into the horizontal top layer splits the brace. Not a problem, but in future you might want to consider 4 thinner screws for the corner brace/top layer fixing.

Great product - hope to be ordering a shorter one for other side of the greenhouse.

PS - had to assemble the bench inside the greenhouse - and managed without breaking any g;ass panes!
