    Waltons have a dire reputation for quality so consider carefully before buying from them. My Waltons 10' x 8' shed was a disgrace, the wood was badly split, the panels didn't align properly because the framework hadn't been cut accurately (over 2 inches out at one point), the floor bearers supplied were so flimsy that the floor sagged immediately and we had to go buy new wood to re-inforce, etc, etc, etc. I sent pictures to the company who, credit where credit is due, sent me a cheque for £100 for all the hassle. I thought at the time that I was just unlucky until I did some searching on the net and found many many people who had similar problems.

    If you buy cheap, you'll buy twice as my Mum used to say. No-one wants to waste money but quality is more important than price when it comes to sheds imo. Nothing worse than a poor quality shed letting in damp over winter and your nice summer loungers are mouldy when you come to use them again. :rolleyes:
