Trimetals Ltd Reviews 

Great storage box but a bit tricky to assemble.
Needs a floor for security. I made my own from thick plywood and screwed it to the base of the box.
I won't say they're inexpensive or that they're worth the money I would however recommend shopping around.

Solid unit - very sturdy and easy to set up.

Great product and good service. Only issue was delivery was much quicker than advised when ordering online. Need to sharpen that up!!

Many problems with incorrect and missing parts eventually resolved by admittedly very helpful personnel.

Excellent product! We had to wait a few months to get our small shed, but we were delighted with it. The build quality is impressive, and it was reasonably simple to put together. Initially, one of the pieces was damaged, but I got a replacement quickly and effortlessly.

I would recommend Trimetals and for sure would consider them first if I ever need another garden or bicycle storage.

Superb, quality product. Will not disappoint.It would be helpful to broaden distribution base.

Storeguard delivered ahead of time. No missing parts and clear enough instructions to erect. Glad I bought the 6ft wide box, as the extra space has proved handy. Hopefully it will last as long as advertised, but up to now ,no complaints.

Oct 21 ordered and paid for the largest Titan shed they make. The website indicated delivery was taking 16 - 18 weeks, understandable I guess what with Covid doing the rounds.
Near the end of the 18 weeks I rang to check delivery. I was told they could not provide that information as it was still on the production line, but they would contact me in due course with delivery details. A few days later I received an email stating the shed was nearing completion and they would call soon. A few more days later they did that, we arranged delivery for something like 10 days ahead. At 1pm on the day of delivery and having heard nothing, I rang to check it was coming. I was assured it was to be delivered between 1pm and 5pm that same day. Needless to say, it did not arrive and I had wasted a day waiting. I rang the next morning, was told they'd ring back with details of delivery and this they did. It was now coming that day (the day after the original delivery day), between 1 and 5pm. At 4:50pm I rang and this time spoke with a man who was as best, sharp. Apparently they'd done all they can and it's now up to me to contact the delivery company. I advised him my contract was with them not a third party. After a little time getting nowhere he then advised me he'd been in touch with them and he could promise me it would be with me that evening.
Needless to say, it did not arrive.
I rang the following afternoon, spoke to the same man, this time there was no pretence at good customer service, he cut straight to the short rows and was rude from the off, not the mention wholly disinterested. Apparently, and he reminded me he'd told me before, they (Trimetals), have done all they can do and it (delivery of a very expensive shed), is now nothing to do with them.
At that point, he put the phone down on me.
So, here I am, over £3,000 poorer, no shed, no sign of a shed and taking legal advice.
The Trimetals site indicates it is a family run business and it has been going for 50 years +. I'm not a gambling man, but I'll wager it won't be here in another 10 years let alone 50!

Bike shed is great, was a faff to assemble, but I expected that, a pity that they don't send keyed alike padlocks, I now have three different keys to carry round, two outside and one inside, which I think is quite disappointing for a premium price. Also no way are you getting 3 adult bikes in the triple I bought. At the moment my hybrid and my 4&6 year olds bikes fit, but will be a pain in a few years time.

Wish I'd found this website before ordering. I didn't realise that a company could choose only to publish positive reviews. I now know that Trimetals do exactly that as I tried to post an accurate description of their product and my experience.

I purchased a D63 storage unit at over £700. I was entirely persuaded by the positive reviews and claims of security and weather proofing. The unit was difficult to put together. Fixings are in nearly inaccessible places and I had to purchase a powered screwdriver as it wouldn't have been possible without one. The unit is not secure. Breaking in would be simple, especially from the back. The metal is so thin, it could easily be bent with a crowbar. The doors won't slide shut unless the surface is completely flat and the unit is square. To be fair, perhaps it will be weatherproof and it looks quite nice.

I'm summary, for quality, material, security and effort to assemble, it should have been priced at the £200 mark. I'm gutted I spent so much on a cupboard that is only fit for storing garden cushions. I've got Asguard bike storage - a million times better and so secure but that wasn't entirely dry which is why I bought the Trimetals D63 for my garden storage. Big mistake.

I chose this product, a bike store, because it was a police approved product. However the overall quality is let down by poor design and detailing, poor fixings, inadequate instructions and complexity of construction. The Trimetals website is overrun by 5* and 4* reviews with little negative criticism and a suggestion that construction is simple and takes around 3 to 4 hours. Check the reviews on Amazon, Garden Street and other sites as well as here - Trimetals are surely guilty of filtering out critical reviews? I can recommend the product but suggest care is needed and allow 12 hours (and assistance) to construct it effectively. I am a civil and structural engineer, experienced DIY enthusiast and at one time ran a DIY store so I think my criticisms are valid. Make sure you fix the store down with the anchors provided and against a wall if possible to avoid a massive theft risk if the back is accessible. Similarly, as reviewed elsewhere you MUST use the hasp and staples or the product is easy to gain access to.
The problems: no tools are provided and the required tools are not listed. As many of the fixings are standardised and not therefore ideal in some locations, specific tools are needed to do the job right - particularly since many fixings have to be tightened in extremely inaccessible places, often requiring two people. Why on earth was a 3mm open ended spanner and 3mm slim box spanner not provided with this expensive piece of kit? Make sure you have them!
The store can be purchased as non-secure and so rather than adapt their product, unbelievably Trimetals provide the components (and a drill bit!) to drill and fix your own hasps and staples. This is unacceptable in a product at this price. It requires great care to ensure everything lines up (and is inserted the right way round) to avoid ruining the store.
Which raises the next issue, mentioned frequently elsewhere: the instructions are of low resolution, lack sufficient narrative and lack blow-up details at crucial points as well as missing critical sequencing steps. It appears that trimetals may have never erected their own store! My copy was dated 2015...what a shame they do not read the negative feedback.
I was provided with a useless masonry bit (buy a quality one - you will need an additional 16mm masonry bit anyway for the anchors) and two drill bits (presumably because their quality was such that one was insufficient to drill 12 small holes).
Which brings me to the next issue: not only was I given two sets of instructions, one of which states at The End that they should not be used for Protect a Cycle) but I got two sets of anchor bolts (of different types) and the instructions for anchoring did not match any of them or match the holes pre-cut in the base.
If you think I am being hyper-critical, I recently also erected a secure shed from Biohort of Austria; this was superbly designed, detailed and manufactured and was complemented by all the tools required, brilliant instructions and helpful additions such as touch-up paint. What a shame their cycle store does not appear to be as secure.

Just had our bikes stolen from the ProtectACycle. The theives acheived this by breaking into the unit within two minutes shown in CCTV, by bending the bars on the side of the unit without having to break the padlocks.

We did not have locks installed at the bottom of the unit because the hasps aren't installed by default and the company failed to provide the drill bit to install them, even when prompted. The shed is totally insecure without these locks so don't even think about keeping your bikes safe without them.

No sympathy or acceptance of fault by Trimetals. Awful service. Lost £2,000 worth of equipment and no compensation. Would advise against using their company if not for the complexity of the product, then for their utter failure to accept any responsibility.

Delivery company excellent. Protector bike 950 £1200
Well packed in several boxes not enough space for me to unpack & check all parts.one major gusset missing promised one asap one week later rang to be told they were having it made eventualy wrong part arrived rang again nothing arrived re rang still waiting. Have a good hard look at other makes before buying this one. Probably quite secure but difficult badly printed instructions needs 2 people to decipher, not worth the £1200.

[update] They also did not pay the 5.25% cashback offered through Top Cashback,

I bought a Titan 960 shed from them. Had a number of issues with the web-site (certificate errors and so on) which I reported to them for fixing, but they didn't seem to understand. They did offer to take my order over the phone however. Eventually ordered. Delivery was a bit awkward as they only had very limited delivery slots available. They did turn up on time however and called ahead as arranged.

The shed itself came in a number of boxes and some of these need two people to move.

The construction was complex (massively more so than competing sheds - Google for a video I made "youtube trimetals titan" (Trustpilot won't let me post a link!), but the end result seems good.

Could probably be assembled in one long day by two people, but took me far longer working mainly on my own with some help for the bits which were impossible on my own. A lot of the extra time comes from trying to follow the instructions. Competing sheds have fewer panels and joins which I suspect may make them stronger/ more durable, but it's too early to say.

The biggest issue was missing and incorrect parts. They advise to unpack and check everything first. That's a bit easier said than done as you'll need a big storage space to unpack everything. They had also incorrectly numbered some of the pieces. Nevertheless, follow their advice if you're able as otherwise you may find like me that you need to leave a half assembled shed for a week. The instructions are average to poor. The illustrations are just not clear enough in some areas to be able to identify parts.

Getting replacements was not as easy/painless as it should have been. I contacted them but had to chase to get an answer. Once I did they arranged for delivery but I still had to chase to confirm when stuff would be arriving. They don't seem to understand how much of someone's time they can waste through these errors and lack of attention/customer focus.

The packing errors are annoying as they clearly have systems to avoid this which they are not using. There were packing slips in each box which were meant to have been checked off and signed by the packer, but they weren't. Overall I would have bought a competitor's shed if they had had the right size, but I have no idea whether that company's service would have been any better.
