Great addition to the garden

We’re absolutely delighted with this greenhouse combo shed—it’s a fantastic addition to our garden. The quality and overall design are excellent, and it looks great even without ordering the glass option. Assembly was straightforward thanks to the clear, well-written instructions; any small hiccups along the way were down to us rather than the product, and easily sorted with a bit of thought.

By using the excess roofing felt to cover the joint where the greenhouse connects to the shed, we were able to create a neat, waterproof finish. If we had one minor regret, it’s that we didn’t choose a slightly larger size, as the shed section feels a bit compact—but that’s more about our needs than the product itself.

Overall, we’re really pleased and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a practical and attractive greenhouse-shed combination.

One part of the roof missing and it’s taken a week for them to get back to me and now have to wait 7-10 days for the part to be delivered.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the missing roof part.

However, to clarify, this did not take a week for us to respond. As soon as we were made aware of the issue by your retailer, we replied the very same day and placed the replacement part on order immediately.

The estimated lead time of 7–10 days is the current timeframe for the part to be dispatched, and we appreciate your patience whilst this is being arranged.

Shed fiddly in places to put together as some wood warped. Excellent experience with Neil the delivery driver. Friendly and great communication.

Possibly the worst customer service.

Possibly the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

I ordered a 7x5 apex summer house via Atlantic Trampolines, with delivery handled by MGP. When arranging delivery months in advance, I made it very clear that my property is a terrace with no front access. I was reassured that this wouldn’t be an issue and it was confirmed that the smallest vehicle would be arranged and that kerbside delivery could take place at the rear of the property.

Despite this, the delivery experience was completely unacceptable. The driver arrived, briefly stated he would remove the item from the van to take photos, and then left immediately, abandoning the delivery without assisting in moving it to the agreed location. This was done despite knowing I was expecting, was alone and had specifically arranged access requirements in advance.

Leaving a large and heavy item without assistance, contrary to what was promised, is not only unprofessional but extremely frustrating for the customer. The entire point of clarifying access beforehand was to avoid this situation.

The wood doesn’t look particularly good quality with many parts warped and lifting. And for £816 the “Two fixed Styrene glazed windows and a half glazed door” is a stretch, I’ve been given two pieces of lose scratched plastic and two doors with plastic inserts covered in wood paint splatter.

Wouldn’t recommend.

Avoid!

I bought this flat-pack pergola from Very/Mercia Garden Products and deeply regret it. As competent, experienced DIYers, we expected a straightforward build, but the quality was shockingly poor. The wood arrived soaking wet – water literally ran out of it and took days to dry. We foolishly didn’t return it in time.
Once dry, it became clear the timber was split, twisted, and warped. The support pieces were all different shapes and sizes, so they didn’t fit together properly. After hours of frustration, we got it up, but it’s still noticeably wonky and out of line despite our best efforts to fix it. It looks cheap and poorly made.
For context, this was still better than the shed/greenhouse combo we bought from the same company at the same time – which says everything.
Complete waste of money and time. Save yourself the hassle and build your own. I wish we had.

Do not use!!

Waited a couple of weeks for a delivery of a shed, stayed in all day to take delivery, received several stupid driver updates giving random delivery times ranging from around 4pm to after 10pm. Have raised a "ticket" on line no response received, cant find a contact telephone number to speak to a human being! Intend to cancel order and get refund, my recommendation don't use!!

Great Company to Deal WithWe had a problem with what we had…

We had a problem with what we had ordered, the quality was fine it was just caused by confusion with the retailer. Despite being under no obligation to do so Mercia agreed to swap out an incorrect panel for which we are most appreciative. Great service and a great company to deal with!

We bought the garden bar with shutters

We bought the garden bar with shutters, the delivery driver was excellent, and did a fantastic job. But that's where it stops being fantastic, as the garden bar had lots of issues, the back panel was missing nails to keep the tongue and groove in place, so I had to screw lots of them down, the roof has more holes than Swiss cheese, the edge of the roof is damaged and chipped away, I've no idea how this will stay dry, I am going to have to modify the whole bar to try and make it watertight, and that's is before I paint it to protect it.
Overall I've just wasted £792 on crap. The instructions are OK, but it would make the job alot quicker and easier if all the pieces could be labelled , it was a complete jigsaw of madness. My recommendation is to stay clear of this bar with all it's issues and go and find another suitable company to purchase a decent product from, I just wish I had done that too.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that your delivery experience was a positive one, but we’re genuinely sorry to learn about the issues you’ve encountered with the garden bar itself.

This certainly isn’t the standard we aim to provide, and we completely understand how frustrating it must be to deal with missing fixings, damage, and concerns around the roof quality—especially after such an investment.

We have reached out to you directly so we can better understand the situation and work with you to put things right as quickly as possible. Whether that involves replacement parts, advice, or another suitable resolution, we’re committed to finding a solution that leaves you satisfied.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to resolve this for you very soon.

Would have rated 0 if I could

Would have rated 0 if I could. Driver was 10 minutes from my house then went in the wrong direction. Tracker promptly turned off and over 2 hours later I get a cokk and bull story about being out of driver hours. No flexibility then when arranging to rebook delivery.

This review is for the courier not the seller. Can't comment on them as the item never arrived.

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience — that sounds incredibly frustrating, especially after waiting so long and then not receiving your delivery at all.

What you described with the driver going in the wrong direction, the tracking stopping, and the lack of clear communication is definitely not the level of service we expect. I completely understand how disappointing it must have been to then be told there was no flexibility when trying to rearrange.

Although this issue sits with the courier, we take feedback like this seriously and will be raising it with them to help prevent this from happening again.

Avoid just a headache to deal with

Ordered shed from wickes,said 7 days,as we moved house needed it asap but was told 16 days after I ordered,but day before its due their driver has left the company so no indication of when in future it will be delivered,I bought summer house last year off Robert days and guess what just realised same company who then cancelled on the actual day,saying driver ran out of hours.
No wonder driver left this time clearly treating staff terribly,delivering sheds on their own,from Nottingham to anywhere in country,they supply a lot of big companies,argos two I mentioned above so they can afford to let loads of people down.and shrug it off.
I’m glad I realised who they were as the quality of my summerhouse is poor so I cancelled my shed.
The nails in the panels are that far in the panels blew off in the wind.
The roof panel wasn’t square either

Wooden Greenhouse - pain to assemble

Bought a 6x8 wooden greenhouse. It took me literally days to assemble, despite being a builder. The instructions are unclear and the way it has been designed is for maximum work when assembling, and is very unhelpful.
