The company has grown over 40 years and is one of the largest suppliers to the UK garden shed market. It is an important UK supplier to many retailers, garden centres and online stores. The company operates its own dedicated nationwide delivery fleet and offers free delivery to most parts of the UK.

It supplies garden sheds, garden buildings, storage, garden furniture, carports, patio covers, and children's play equipment. All metal garden sheds are manufactured from hot-dipped galvanised steel and carry a non-perforation guarantee up to 15 years.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Reliability and clear communication emerge as the strongest themes in accounts of this Stockport shed builder and garden building supplier. Buyers describe orders being fulfilled exactly as promised, with delivery slots confirmed beforehand and drivers calling ahead with an arrival time. The condition of goods on arrival recurs frequently, with metal and PVC sheds reported as reaching customers undamaged and complete, without missing parts. Purchasers of the metal bicycle shed and the six by four apex models highlight the helpfulness of staff, who explained sizing, product options and pricing without applying pressure.

Ease of assembly is another regular point, and aligning roof panels or bolt holes sometimes calls for additional drilling, a detail that customers mention as straightforward to overcome. Build quality and weather resistance draw consistent praise, alongside the timber floor option chosen for one installation. After-sales support and telephone advice are repeatedly commended, with buyers stating they would order again and pass the company on to friends, a pattern that runs through the metal and PVC shed ranges alike, including the Lotus models.

SM sheds service and advise was brilliant, they did exactly what they said they would. The shed itself was as I expected, I'm well pleased with it. It looks good, it is water tight etc. I did have a few minor assembly problems ie. a few holes not aligning, so had to be drilled and the threaded screws could have been longer. Overall I'm well well pleased.

Great service from start to finish. We had a personal meeting to discuss our Shed requirements. This was duly ordered and delivered and erected within the agreed specified time. Made aware of the process throughout. The Lifetime Shed was outstanding quality and we highly recommend SM Garden Sheds. Great customer service. Thank you.

Purchased an 8x6 Super Apex ship lap shed. From ordering to delivery the service has been excellent. Agreed to the longer lead in time, communication and updates from the company has been spot on. Delivery was on the day and within the time slot given. Extremely polite and professional (and careful) delivery driver and the shed has exceeded my expectations for a budget range shed. The quality really is excellent for the price, no damage, split or warped panels and all the accessories were really well packaged. I am really impressed and have no hesitation in recommending this company based on my overall experience, would definitely buy again Thanks very much

I bought the 6 x 4 Lotus Apex metal shed and am delighted with it. Delivery took a bit longer than I expected but still within max time frame. I managed to built it myself with only a little help from my wife. Instructions were pretty good in general but were not too clear on a couple of things but customer service from company was excellent. I chose the timber floor which I laid inside the shed rather than build the shed on top of the floor as suggested. Made for a really neat weatherproof finish. Can certainly recommend it. .

We started to get slightly concerned when we were 2 weeks over the expected delivery timeframe and the tracking information had not changed. I emailed and was advised to "ignore the tracking" as this was not used. Another week passed and another email was sent, but this time I did not receive a reply, however, the next day I received a text from the delivery driver saying he would be coming the following day, I said this was not suitable due to work but he stated he could not change this as he only delivered to my area fortnightly. We agreed for an early delivery before work, however they arrived late, making us late for work. I summary we spent £1900 o. A shed and had an anxious 5 week wait with minimal communication and botched delivery, to top it off a component of the shed was missing and we had to contact the manufacturer (although this is clearly not SM's fault). With hindsight I would have purchased from elsewhere.

We ordered an 8 x 6 double hinged Lotus, very practical with plenty of space to get in and out with the scooter, the team are profesional and friendly and pulled out all the stops even through Covid. Thank you all once again.

Great service, everyone I spoke to was very polite and helpful, ordered and delivered without any problems, which is exactly what they said they would. The shed looks great, I didn't put it up but my boyfriend did he said it's good quality and easy to assemble.
