Bought a Canopia Feria back in November 2021, installed perfectly. Encountered a 30mph wind storm with heavy rain two weeks ago. Next day found fiberglass pieces everywhere and panels had shown signs of flaking. I thought that was odd seeing how they claim the panels are polycarbonate. Company tried to tell me that I had not removed the protective coverings. I've been a building contractor for 30 years.

Got a 6x10 greenhouse wasn't the easiest to build on my own but in time was ok. Ive had this for over a year in the box when building I was missing a few parts few emails and a phone call my parts will be sent out tomorrow free of charge. Excellent customer service 👏

Ok…we bought a Palram Shed. And surely it could be no harder than furniture from IKEA ?. WRONG !!!. 6 hours into unboxing the Palram Skylight 6 X 8, my husband, and his friend were desperate. The manual may as well be ancient Sumerian, the video is a lie. The video takes between 2 and 10 minutes to guide you through the allegedly easy and straightforward assembly of the shed, but best ignore that - our Palram has so far taken 11 hours to build, and it still has no roof. My husband is far removed from stupid- he regularly carries out DIY jobs, and has a science degree, but the Palram Shed nearly floored him- only the fact that we desperately needed a shed meant he persevered. In the video and manual, the shed construction is meant to be carried out by 2 people. Ours needed 3 people - 2 to build the shed, 1 to watch the video, decipher the manual, and supply drinks, food , and moral support. The shed was missing some bolts and screws, and the so far 11 hour build doesn’t include the detour to town to buy stand in bolts and screws. The shed is actually moderately robust once erected, but it’s getting to that stage which is challenging. Perhaps if you regularly build matchstick models, or Airfix with a blindfold on, you might be ok ? I’m not saying don’t buy a Palram Shed, I’m saying prepare yourself for more than Palram promise you. Put aside a whole weekend- if it takes less time, you can chill with a takeaway and some celebratory beers/wine. Avail yourself of help from a regular DIY doing friend, count all the screws in the kit before you start, and go get more if needed. Send your children away for the weekend, as you might find yourselves swearing a lot. Also ask yourself why most Palram sheds on the internet are discounted…. In fact If you can, get Palram to come erect the Shed for you -They seem to find it so easy, it shouldn’t take them more than an hour or so. Everyone else, prepare for the best, expect the worse. Ok, so now we are allbut finished except for the Shed door. Our Palram has now taken 15 hours to build Barr putting the door on, and that is 15 hours we are never going to get back…. Good luck all who sign up for a Palram Shed, and aim to construct her……….watch this post for information on when we get the door on and complete the Palram Challenge!!!! I’m back 24 hours later. For 2.5 hours, two of us have been trying to put the doors together. We’ve put the doors together, with their metal edging frames, but even that wasn’t simple. The manual is no easier to follow 24 hours on….ok, i started this addendum at 4.37 GMT, we still cannot put the doors on, as two of the metal frame pieces are misaligned. This has meant finding some non standard wider screws, which were not supplied, but were within the Screw assortment kit I bought yesterday ( Brackit kit Amazon, 3 sizes of screw from Wilko, organiser Pro kit , Amazon, total cost, £74.85). 40 mins later, The doors still won’t fit…we’ve come to the conclusion it’s a manufacturer error ( it can’t be anything else, as one door fits perfectly the other WILL NOT !. We are going to widen the drill hole…it’s 9.19 now. We’ve just hung the doors, but we had to make a few modifications. My advice ????. Buy a wooden shed, or pay someone to erect your Palram. Or do the Palram challenge…you’ll either be 1 of the 50 odd percent who get a kit that came out perfectly or like us, you won’t. You were warned !!!!

Recently bought my Dad a shed after the one he lovingly built himself from wood started to rot. This is the biggest waste of £800 I have ever experienced. Terrible quality, flimsy materials and not what you would expect for that amount of money. Buy wood!! Don't bother with this.

Brought A Palram 6x4 greenhouse £399 its a load of sh:t the instructions for Assembly might as well be written in Latin well the pictures for assembly are so confusing you are better off not bothering with them as each page just contradict there self. Mostly the product is not worth the money poor quality very flimsy a crisp bag is stronger

I ordered a greenhouse from Palgam through a large store. Unfortunately it came damaged and I sent the images to them as requested. I informed them that I had someone coming to assemble the greenhouse and I couldn't cancel that without paying them. The store advised me that if I could still use the damaged parts, they would issue me a partial refund. As this was possible, I went ahead and the guys built the greenhouse and I awaited the partial refund. After a couple of emails I was told that it was now in the hands of Palram. A week later they contacted me to say that the store shouldn't have given me the option of a partial refund and I could either return the greenhouse or order the new parts. By this time I had a greenhouse full of plants and the parts that were damaged meant that it would have to be totally dismantled to replace them. I argued that I would then have the costs to get it dismantled and reassembled! Palram were not prepared to fund this and said the product was a DIY assembly and they wouldn't expect that anyone buying it would employ someone to assemble it! What a ridiculous statement! It happens I have issues with my back and I couldn't do it myself. The person in customer services was so rude and said as I had chose to get it assembled it was down to me! I argued I didn't choose to receive a damaged product! Palram then blamed the courier for the damage, when two of the damaged parts were packed in the middle of a box and clearly damaged at the manufacturer. I was also told that there was a backlog of complaint emails and a delay in answering them of five days! That doesn't inspire me to buy Palram products with any amount of confidence! It is the first time I've dealt with Palram and unfortunately the last. Really disappointed that a company of this size has such an awful customer service and a total disregard for customers after they have purchased a faulty product! I won't be back! Buy at your peril folks!!!

I have recently purchased this plastic sheds THE PALRAM AMBER WITH SKYLIGHT 6 X 5: this shed cost me £489.99 ( 6 x 5) from a company called Shedstore. I loved the colour and thought it would blend in nicely in my garden. I was horrified when I saw it: it is made of very flimsy plastic (not sure what material is but it is horrid) and although you say it has a 10 year guarantee I doubt it will last that long. My previous plastic shed was from a company called KETER : Keter Factor Outdoor Garden Storage Shed, Beige, 4 x 6 ft which I actually bought from Amazon and it was 'made of durable maintenance and fade-free resin with steel' at a price of £303.00. I am now able to compare the two and I can say that this shed is not worth half of the price I paid for it in comparison to the Keter. I have made a big mistake! Even the base is flimsy and you have to tape it as it splits in two to avoid tripping over. To be honest I would have liked to return it but unfortunately I had to store household stuff which was in a storage unit and I was pressed for time. Never again your brand how can a company charge so much money for terrible flimsy plastic?? I am so disappointed I really do regret purchasing it and need to alert other poor consumers! I can see that others have left negative reviews I wish I had seen them before I purchased it. I contacted the company and someone called me apologising for the way I felt about this product and I told him I would appreciate a discount in price and he said he would call me back but he never did. Thank you for reading this.

Recent storm damage left our greenhouse missing some panels. We contacted Palram to order some replacement parts to purchase. A short time later, they had delivered the missing pieces free of charge. It is so amazing a big company like this offer such amazing after sales assistance in this day and age. I see we are not the only customers they have done this for.
