YardMaster International Reviews 

Please do not buy from this company. Not only are the metal sheds impossible to put together but then the customer service assistant called Caroline implies that you are lying even though I have two workmen who will stand up in court as they were the ones who came to put it together and gave up after 2 and a half hours as it was so bad! I am so out of pocket and now no shed so we will probably have to go to court to resolve it as their customer service is so bad- at least it matches their sheds I guess!

We recently bought a 8 x 6 Yardmaster metal shed. What a joke! Firstly the instructions aren't very clear but we managed to put it together over a couple of days. Looked OK, was put on a level surface.
There is no point to this shed to store anything. It leaks like a sieve. We wish we had read some of these reviews. Do not buy one!
We have had to seal any possible entrance points, seams, screw holes, it just seems to let in water everywhere, with silicone (14 tubes so far, now going to try expanding foam), costing us a fortune to just have a drier shed.
Only put this up in Oct 21, and it is already rusting too. It is a complete waste of money and not fit for purpose. We expected this shed to be a dry place, not like a swimming pool.

I bought a metal 10 x 8 ft shed 8 weeks ago
Delivered earlier than the 12 weeks given.
I am on my own and put the shed together with a couple of mistakes but easily sorted.
roof first then the shell
Instructions clear.
Took 2 to put roof on absolutely thrilled with end product
A big thankyou

Excellent is how I would describe my experience of Yardmaster- Ordered shed & it was delivered well within the 6 week delivery time scale. By carefully reading & following the assembly instructions provided the shed was relatively simple to construct. All parts were numbered and holes all aligned. May appear to be flimsy in the box but it is a sturdy shed when it is assembled. Customer service was efficient & they sent me additional bits for customising free of charge. DL.- TD3

I have 2 sheds, and have on three occasions contacted customer service for parts (once for a missing part, and twice for additional bits for customising, which were sent free of charge and incredibly promptly).
Both shed perform excellently. They take a bit of putting up, but re-reading the instructions carefully and correctly would have made things simpler! RTFM.
Unequivocally recommended!

I’ve just finished building a yard master 6 x 6.

Whilst it took longer than I had expected the instructions I found simple to read it all fits into place with a bit of strength to pull things together.

Don’t attempt this if you don’t have a practical mind or can’t read flat pack instructions, best to hire someone to build it for you.

They are a good value shed option where wood would cost two or three times the price.

I will never purchase from this company again, the customer service is a complete joke, talk about rude, and to top it off the shed I ordered was a 6×5 the the shed I received was 5x4 but according to the joke of customer service rep it's the correct shed I never read the small print lol. Stay away absolute terrible company

Can only reiterate what most say about this product. So I'll focus on a couple of big issues. First, you have to get all around the shed to construct it. So if it's going against a wall or fence you will need to build it away then lift the whole thing into place. Second, whoever designed this has never built it! The idea of making the roof and lifting it into place is ridiculous. Half way through I abandoned the instructions and followed my instinct. It is also engineered down to a price. I would suggest that an extra cost of £50 and a lesson in instruction writing would make this an excellent product.

Read the bad reviews. They say it all. DON'T BUY A YARD MASTER SHED.
I can build and design stuff from scratch and figured I'll give this a go. Four days to build this. Fiddly as hell, poorly illustrated, poorly written instructions and poorly pressed and punched metal all round. Measurements and overlaps that cannot possibly happen, so you have to re-design the thing to make it all line up. Thats not to mention the actual design. There's no way on this planet its not going to leak at each gable end.

Robert Dyers think that i just need to take some screws out to make it line up.

I wish i had protested more when the wife said your not building anything else and went and done it myself from scratch.

Two months waiting now, been with the courier for 1 month.
Want to speak to a manager guess what! no one available again after 4 called now.
Poor customer service keep WELL clear.
Rude and obnoxious receptionist!

Great shed for the money. Built it on my own and no leaks. Just make sure your base is properly level and everything else will be much easier.

If anyone is thinking about buying a Trustmaster metal shed, think again. Do not go ahead & buy one. The company's Customer Care has been nil. The metal frames & panels are flimsy; construction is a nightmare unless you enjoy making intricate multi-piece meccano with thousands of small screws & difficult to follow instructions. Having purchased such a shed, the construction has to be completed but I hugely regret this purchase. & the time taken to build the shed has doubled the total cost. The quality of the shed is disappointing, to say the least. It is not worth the money & not worth the hassle of the whole delivery & construction process.

easy enough to build, but leaks like a sieve.
you need to mastic around the edges inside the shed for any chance to stop water ingress as doing the outside edges wont help because the pre-drilled holes in the frame all the way around the base will let water in and even then it will still get in through the doors. the flimsy doors loosely sit in a channel on the inside of the shed and when water hits the doors in runs down them into the channel and then straight into the shed. so dont store anything in there you dont want to get damp or wet

Absolutely crap 6x4 shed is 6x3.5 so small nothing lines up it so small not worth the money bloody waste of money will never buy another one poor quality poor instructions pretty much guessed how to put together Absolutely crap.

Missing screws, emailed to say said they would send some, which they didn’t.

The shed itself is very sturdy when built, and looks good in the garden. It looks as though it will last, too. Delivery was very quick and I think the shed is good value for money. However, as many have said, it did take several pairs of hands several hours to put up. A great product badly let down by its build instructions which were woeful. If these were improved, I'm sure the reviews would improve, too. Yardmaster could also do with improving their website - ordering was easy, but I filled in numerous forms when I needed to contact them and it was difficult to get through (telephone in the end). I have given four stars for the excellent quality of the shed, and I hope my other comments will be taken on board.

I purchased the yard master 10x8 metal shed in addition to the plastic shed that I have from another company. In comparison the Yardmaster metal shed was much more complex and difficult to assemble given that I am an experienced DIYer and have undertaken such projects in the past.

The overall assembly instructions were very poor and it took three days to fully assemble the shed. The components were marked but the lack of instructions made it a challenge. In addition the holes in many cases were misaligned and some force or manual drilling was required.

It is recommended to assemble the roof while still on the ground and then lift it to place on top.

The thin metal sheets that’s are the walls get dented very easily. The height on the doors is below standard door height and average person will bump their head often when entering the shed.

There were some screws missing but Yardmaster customer service was good and able to send a bag of screws immediately.

Overall O will certainly not attempt assembling a Yardmaster Metal Shed again or recommend it.

Ok. First they're really difficult to assemble. I'm a tradesman and can assemble anything but these ain't easy. But time and patience will overcome that

I've recently been asked by a customer to assemble a yardmaster shed. It's pretty big, 8ft X 10ft.

Anyway it comes in two large boxes. Box one, which contains the roof and side panels, and box two which has the instructions, frame, doors, and screws/washers etc.

What to yardmaster delivered was two box twos.

Hey there things happen and it's no drama. It's an easy mistake to make.

However calling yardmaster is not easy. A rude woman who insisted theyve delivered the right boxes and who hung up on my customer
.
That's unacceptable

follow the instructions on youtube,drawings come from the crypton factor.told delivery 4 weeks, came within a week,no parts missing,no drips at all,could be to do with the fact it hasnt rained yet,3 tips, box of screws,box of nuts, and a box of valium .have a nice day alun

I bought a metal 10ft x 13ft metal yardmaster shed in November 2020, delivered and paid extra for fitting by Yardmaster operatives. Duly fitted one month later. First complaint email sent 2 days after the fitting. Despite numerous emails to the firm bought from (Gardensite) who then passed to Yardmaster I am still left with a completely damp shed which has had a swimming pool effect floor since fitting onto the prepared concrete base. The fitters did not fit all the parts, namely the "hold down strips" and the roof screw covers (the omission of the strips I discovered after they had left) and the roof screw covers we were told would only take us half an hour to fit as they had to travel down to England after fitting the shed, but despite knowing this, Yardmaster refused to send the fitters out again to fit these essential parts - because we agreed to fit the roof screws ourselves. Yardmaster did send some extra parts out - not all as they had stated they would- and would not consider a monetary recompense. After paying £798.98 I am left with a shed which is unuseable, is constantly soaking inside and is not fit for the purpose of storage, due to the water penetration. I used 6 tubes of silicon (CP12 especially for pools, water features etc) to no avail. Yardmaster and now Gardensite do not answer emails. Please save yourself a lot of grief. DO NOT CONSIDER BUYING THIS SUBSTANDARD SHED AND DO NOT PAY EXTRA FOR "EXPERIENCED FITTERS". YOU WILL NOT GET ANY JOY FROM THIS PRODUCT. BUY ELSEWHERE AND DO NOT MAKE IT METAL - ESPECIALLY THE YARDMASTER LOW, LOW QUALITY KIT. We have bought a very expensive tea bag.
