Has anybody successfullly, erected, the € 347.99 Metal, Garden Shed, from ARGOS??

I had the local Handyman/ Whizz, down to erect mine. By the fourth, un-successful day, I had to stop him, physically, from attacking the shed, with a lump hammer. It is a total pain in the b...eh, neck...to put up!!!

We did actually, manage to put it together, but it weighs, like.... a few pounds, and when we tried to set it , into solid concrete...agh....we basically...we just shagged it there. The local builder is well gone.

Then, a Pensioner neighbour told us, he too, had bought the ARGOS Shed. His Engineering Masters Graduate son, had erected it, set it up, on a concrete base. And they were deilghted with it. Until, that day.... last Winter, when a big wind, meant he actually MET this garden shed, rolling down the Hill... here!!!

This ould lad, told my builder to erect it, then wait for it to blow asunder, and then...CLAIM..CLAIM...for E1000's on the house insurance...and use the money to get a "proper" shed put up!!!!

Seems awful? I think so. I like things to be decent, and honest, always!!

I paid the bones of E400 for this Metal Shed. I now owe the local builder E400, for his time and labour, for a pile of un-erectable, wet, rusting, moulding, metal, leaning against my wall. My gardening "stuff" is piled up in my hallway, as I still have no shed to put it into.

What happens next?? Help!!!!
 
Not sure which shed you refer to in Argos as none appear to cost €347.99.

We got a Yardmaster metal shed many year ago before Argos came to Ireland and we have not had any problems with it. There is also some discussion on Yardmaster sheds here and here.

Ditto (except from Argos) - I prepared the base (paving slabs on a plastic groundsheet on levelled firm ground) in one day and assembled and erected the shed in another day with some help from herself to put the roof in place. Bolted it down into the slabs and no problem over the past few years with it. Hardly rocket science. If you engaged somebody to do this job and they failed then perhaps they were incompetent? If you paid them €400 for a job not done then one wonders why!
