The app tended to crash and close occasionally and some of the videos had to be re-loaded as I went, nothing that a quick refresh didn’t fix. I found the videos helpful however would have appreciated a slower approach with more close ups especially for the more technical bits such as the door mullions etc. Otherwise, great to have an interactive option to help get the job done quick. Love your work 👍 ### 4/5 — I’m going back in a *2024-01-08, version 2.5* I don’t know if you need ### 4/5 — Helpful app *2023-08-18, version 2.5* Having the manual and videos in the app was helpful for building our shed. I wish I had an iPad as it would have been easier to see as the manual was hard to read at times on my phone. ### 1/5 — Easy assembly *2023-05-20, version 2.4.1* Yes they maybe an easy shed to assemble if you’ve got the room and area to lay everything out perfectly like they do in their videos. They don’t tell you that you need other items e.g. going and buying Long boards and workhorses, and when working in areas that you don’t have that room it becomes an absolute nightmare. ### 2/5 — Extremely bad video guides *2023-02-08, version 2.3* Save yourself the nightmare of following video guides that constantly leave out critical information that would save you so much time & frustration. Sometimes completely incorrect information. Aside from the poor build quality of the sheds themselves. ### 2/5 — Chook pen *2023-01-10, version 2.3* Don’t bother it took me months to get it and nothing lined up feel very disappointed it not worth 600 dollars don’t put your self thou it ### 1/5 — Assembly not so easy *2022-12-13, version 2.3* I’m sorry to say but your assembly booklet and video ain’t very well done. The panel don’t line up, you need to include gloves with part of the tools needed. The printing of the parts was shocking as well. I had 6 pieces where I had to work out where they went as instead of having eg 81BR it just said 8 and the rest was not there. The doors didn’t line up correctly with the pre drilled holes fast assembly I don’t think so. The channels are very hard to get onto the sheets and that’s if you can the sheets to actually even line up. I expected much more from an Aussie brand she’d bought it cause it’s Australian made but the quality needs some attention and so does your instruction. The details are very poor tells you to put D screws into the holes but the instruction don’t mention or have a label for the screws it just says 220 self tapping screws. Luckily I have worked with pitting sheds together but so people that it’s there first time will have a lot of problems getting it together. As well the video isn’t very helpful. There should be a step by step eg after assembly of the panels and channels use these screws to hold it together. Sorry to say but disappointed with an Aussie product ### 1/5 — Useless app *2021-12-27, version 2.1.9* Doesn't provide any detailed steps for assembly beyond what comes with the manual in the box. Good thing we had the manual though since the shed purchased isn't in the app. Shed is 30152SK. I wish I could take back my download to prevent inflated statistics. ### 1/5 — Videos? *2021-03-13, version 2.1.5* Downloaded the app and all it had was a photo of a family watering the garden? Where’s the videos? ### 5/5 — Good App *2021-03-03, version 2.1.4* Amazing App!!This made the assembly of the shed easier. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A book is easier. *2026-03-27, version 2.6* I know it’s cheaper than printing. But the whole scrolling up and down to check things. Having to keep opening your phone. It’s just stupid. Also shed are a bit chincy ### 1/5 — Not easy hassle to assemble *2025-12-05, version 2.6* Wouldn’t recommend Missed holes , no catalogue supplied had to get a print out. Video doesn’t reveal different angles They could have easily put arrow marks or some kinda reference so it becomes an easy DIY project ### 1/5 — don’t buy *2025-10-18, version 2.5* this shed makes me realise why people commit suicide ### 1/5 — Terrible experience *2025-05-14, version 2.5* Bunnings refused to publish my review because they clearly have a contract with Absco, so I’ll try here. None of the holes align, often not drilled, flimsy and poor quality, panels scratched and dented, nightmare to build. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-03-08, version 2.5* It all looks so simple - but - the snap lock process is actually difficult and a lot of the holes don’t line up requiring drilling. The drill bit provided is not worth bothering with. The video shots of important bits are too quick to see which way parts are meant to go together All in all a distressing and hideous experience. Would not recommend you waste your entire weekend on this project ### 1/5 — Wheely bin shed *2025-01-01, version 2.5* I purchased a Two door wheels bin shed in a sealed box from Bunnings cannon hill Brisbane and took it to install at our bush property 1/2 an hour from Stanthorpe a three hour drive. I then spent most of the day attempting to assemble it by the instructions only to find missing components, mislabeled components and extra items not listed in the items supplied on the instructions. Example … Panels should have had 4 x 44z in the pack but only had 1 the other 3 were labeled with a completely different number and had holes in the edges when they shouldn’t. Chanel components marked 61g had 4 not 2 and components 91HL & 81J missing. Components 87H missing and replaced with R14 which were too small in length. I returned the pack to the nearest Bunnings in Warwick over an hour away from our property and the staff opened another sealed box only to find similar inconsistencies in the components. This has been a frustrating waste of time money and fuel and I doubt I will ever purchase another ABSCO product in the future. ### 1/5 — Junk *2024-12-28, version 2.5* Not worth the expensive price tag. Incorrect instructions. Incorrectly labeled parts. Parts missing. ### 1/5 — App not working *2024-12-14, version 2.5* App won’t load. Black screen until it crashes after a few seconds. ### 1/5 — Missing piece *2024-08-29, version 2.5* I was very excited to receive my absco shed,when I started to assemble my shed it was disappointed because there was a missing piece that I couldn’t find it and I ring the service office they they will send me the piece within 5 working days and it’s wasting my time ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this shed *2024-06-19, version 2.5* The video is unable to explain the product for people simply trying to build a shed out of a pack. The product is too complex for the average person to understand ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent instructions! *2024-02-03, version 2.5* The video instructions for my little shed were excellent, making it easy for two women to build it. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2023-09-19, version 2.5* We had a great time building our pump cover this weekend. The videos were quite useful and didn’t take us long to put it together. Would recommend ### 5/5 — Amazing app. *2023-09-13, version 2.5* User friendly l, easy to use app. Never had an issue. ### 5/5 — Video was great *2023-09-12, version 2.5* Bought a 3x3 recently and found the video instructions really helpful for the install. Had to rewatch some sections a few times, but the video helped me get my head around these and the shed went up great in the end. ### 5/5 — Compact *2023-08-10, version 2.5* Found the app helpful to have all the info in one spot. Had a small issue with the search function not locating my shed but I looked for it through the images and it was there. Video was great! ### 5/5 — Video helped me, thanks! *2021-08-03, version 2.1.6* The videos have good detail and are easy to follow. We much preferred this to the instruction manual. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-06-28, version 2.1.5* User friendly app, super easy to show me how to assemble my shed - thanks Absco! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2021-03-07, version 2.1.4* The video in the app was really helpful, as was the checklist in the app. All in all very happy with both the shed, and the app. Was much better using the app than the normal video on YouTube, which made the process from start to finish, on my own, very simple. ### 5/5 — Very user-friendly and helpful! *2021-03-04, version 2.1.4* The app was very easy to navigate and the videos were informative and so helpful when assembling my shed! ### 5/5 — User friendly App *2021-03-04* I like this app because it’s user friendly. Easy to use and understand. **Developer response:** So glad to hear our Assembly App was easy to use for you! Thanks for the feedback.
