About the company

Forest Craft, trading as George Laing Fencing Ltd, has been operating in Scotland for over 30 years. The company has its own manufacturing facility in Scotland and a trained and skilled workforce. It manufactures, delivers, and erects garden buildings, garden sheds, log cabins, summerhouses, gazebos, and timber garages, and supplies fencing across Scotland. Garden buildings up to 30 miles from any branch in Mainland Scotland are delivered free of charge.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Forest Craft has built sheds, a log cabin, a summerhouse and a tool store for customers who repeatedly note the robustness of the finished structures, pointing to the thick tongue-and-groove cladding and the solid frames. Several reviewers describe the guidance they received as genuinely useful, with advice given freely rather than as a sales pitch, and queries answered without delay. Reviewers often mention that the price quoted represented fair value and covered delivery and construction as part of the arrangement. Something that features in review after review is the speed and tidiness of the build, with one project completed within a promised afternoon slot after a call confirming the arrival time.

Instances where something needed attention are also covered, including a length of timber reinforced and a roof leak repaired after a downpour, both handled without complication. After-sales support draws regular approval. Staff named in accounts include Lee, who guided a customer through the options, Jim Barnets, who inspected and replaced deteriorating boards on a summerhouse, and Owen and Keith, each credited with careful workmanship on separate jobs. Repeat purchases and long-standing sheds appear in the feedback, underlining the durability of the buildings over several years.

Great service, great price, local business and a much more robust product than you’d get at a garden centre (bought a low store).

Bought garden shed from Forest Craft over 3 years ago and very pleased with it still. There was a minor problem with one piece of wood noted initially and this was sorted/reinforced without fuss. Likewise some time later there was a small leak in the roof after very heavy rain and they came and fixed that. Happy with quality and service.

Our garden summerhouse needed several replacement boards as were deteriorating. Having contacted them a representative, Jim Barney’s, came out and inspected and took particulars. Next day he was at the house and made a remarkable job of repairing our summerhouse. We are extremely happy with the work that was done and would not hesitate to use them again. Great work and very tidy too. Thank you Jim!

Bought a premium range shed a few weeks ago. Product speaks for itself as it's by far the best quality built shed I looked at. Thick tongue and groove boards part of a robust frame. Very helpful team in answering questions and quick turnaround. Build was quick, clean and well done, all included in the price. Couldn't recommend more
