Stock and Sizing
All Crawley's wooden buildings are made to order and as such, require manufacture prior to delivery. If you have provided a valid email address with your order, you will receive notification via email when your order has entered manufacture.
Sizes are approximate only and generally, metric dimensions provided refer to external dimensions (not including the roof overhang). It should also be noted that the exact size dimensions of timber components cannot be guaranteed due to the natural variance of this material depending on its surroundings and climate. For specific dimensions please consult our technical department.
All images and photography used is purely for illustrative purposes only. Actual specifications may vary to those shown and product colours may vary slightly due to the digital photography process and variations in individual user monitor settings this will not detract from the overall quality or performance of the product.
Delivery (Excluding Flex Apex)
Crawley Sheds and Cabins Limited provide estimated working day lead times for delivery. However, these timescales are not a maximum or guaranteed time in which the delivery will take place. When your product is ready for delivery and the delivery is then scheduled, you will be contacted by Us to book in the delivery with you via email or telephone. At this time you will receive your confirmed delivery date and estimated two-hour arrival time slot. We will make every effort to deliver goods within a reasonable variance of the published estimated timescales; however, extended delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors beyond our control and therefore delivery times are not guaranteed. Estimated delivery dates are not part of the contract between Crawley Sheds and Cabins Limited and the buyer, and Crawley Sheds and Cabins Limited shall be under no liability for any delay or failure to deliver the products within the estimated timescales. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the purchaser and Us, the delivery of goods will take place at the delivery address you have specified in the order. When the delivery arrives at the specified address someone must be present to accept it and the delivery must be signed for. Alternatively, an agreement can be made prior to delivery whereby written confirmation, in the form of an email or fax, stating permission is provided to drop the goods off at your given address without the requirement to have anyone present to sign for them. Providing that Crawley Sheds and Cabins Limited delivers the goods to the address you have specified in the order then the goods will be deemed to have been delivered and We will not be liable to you for any subsequent claim of non-delivery. We do not have to be satisfied that the person who accepts delivery at the given address is you (or authorised by you to accept delivery of the goods). The quantity or content of any consignment of goods or components of a good that are recorded by Us upon dispatch shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity or content received by you upon delivery unless you can provide conclusive evidence to the contrary. We also reserve the right to suspend future deliveries of goods and cancel any contracts with you if you have a bankruptcy order made against you or make an arrangement or composition with your creditors; convene a meeting of creditors or enter into liquidation. We also reserve the right to suspend any future deliveries should you fail to observe/perform any of your obligations under the contract between you and Us. This includes any contract between yourself and Us for the sale and purchase of the goods incorporating these conditions, whether effected by electronic mail through this website, or otherwise.
If a delivery is made and nobody is there to sign for the product (unless a pre-agreement has been signed allowing Us to leave the product without a signature upon arrival), the product may be left in a secure location within the boundary of your property where possible. If it is not possible to leave the delivery safely, the product will be returned to base, awaiting another suitable dispatch date. In these circumstances the purchaser will be held responsible for paying all additional delivery costs to have the item re-transported. For some of Crawley Sheds and Cabins Limited products, such as log cabins and certain other large garden buildings, it is your responsibility to ensure someone is available to assist in the off loading of these goods upon arrival. This person must be fit and capable of lifting items of up to 25kg in weight as there may only be one delivery driver and some components can weigh up to 50kg. The largest size of Shed panel we deliver is 10ft and the largest Cabin pack is 20ft so if you are restricted for access, it may be advisable to consult our staff for further information. The delivery driver will not assist with carrying any components through your property. Unless expressly stated, We assume that the purchaser will be available for delivery at any time with prior notice. We request that the provides information relating to any narrow lanes, narrow or low bridges, weight restrictions, or similar vehicle restrictions on the available routes to access the delivery address. We also require notification of any parking/stopping restrictions at the delivery address in advance of delivery. If our vehicle cannot reach your property, the goods may be left at the nearest accessible point.
If your order contains multiple building types these may not be delivered together due to the type of delivery vehicle required to transport them.
Delivery of Sheds:
• Delivery is kerbside only unless discussed and agreed as otherwise prior to delivery. You will need an appropriate space as close to your kerbside as possible for our driver to deliver to.
• Garden Sheds and most garden buildings are delivered in single panels and unloaded by hand on arrival.
• Movement of delivered goods beyond kerbside is the responsibility of the customer unless discussed and agreed as otherwise prior to delivery. In any case, movement of the panels beyond kerbside is at the driver's discretion and the driver will need to assess access on arrival in order to ensure that he can safely move the panels to any requested location beyond kerbside.
• The driver will not carry panels through your property as he is not insured to do so.
• It is essential that you fully check the delivery of your garden building to confirm that all components, parts and fixings are present and correct prior to assembly, to ensure you have everything required for installation. If there is a problem with any component you have received, or if something is missing, please email info@crawleyshedsandcabins.co.uk and confirm the issue with photographs where applicable.
Delivery of Log Cabins:
• All log cabins are delivered kerbside only. We request that you leave a free space as close to the kerbside as possible for the driver to leave the building.
• Movement of delivered goods beyond kerbside is the responsibility of the customer.
• If possible, please ensure there are no obstacles, such as your (or your neighbours’) vehicle, that could impede the unloading on the delivery day.
• Please advise us beforehand if there any overhead obstacles such as overhang trees or telephone cables that could impede the unloading on the delivery day.
• It is essential that you fully check the delivery of your garden building to confirm that all components, parts and fixings are present and correct prior to assembly, to ensure you have everything required for installation. If there is a problem with any component you have received, or if something is missing, please email info@crawleyshedsandcabins.co.uk and confirm the issue with photographs where applicable.
If an attempted delivery is made but cannot be completed as a result of the purchaser failing to meet the terms of delivery including but not limited to there being no-one present and capable to assist our driver, no access to or stopping at the delivery address, or no suitable location in which to leave the delivery, the building(s) will be returned to base and the purchaser will be liable for all costs associated with a second attempted delivery. Crawley Sheds and Cabins Limited cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury sustained due to incorrect unloading, usage or assembly of any of our products.
If an order contains multiple building types (i.e. a Cabin and a Shed), these are likely to be delivered on different dates due to the varying production lead times and differing types of delivery vehicle required to transport them.
Once goods have been delivered, they are the responsibility of the customer alone.
Please also view the delivery section for more information.
Please note - If you order a garden shed or log cabin outside of our free delivery zone or if the building you have ordered is customised or bespoke, the lead time can be extended. Please contact us for further information.
Cancellation of Delivery Bookings
If you have accepted a delivery and wish to cancel the accepted delivery booking, we will require a minimum of 3 working days’ notice prior to the scheduled delivery date. If a delivery is cancelled within 3 working days of the accepted delivery date, the delivery loading process will have commenced and cancellation of the accepted delivery will incur a failed delivery charge.
Pro Installation
In the event that a customer purchases an installation service for one of the products on the website the customer is thereby agreeing to adhere to the terms and conditions of the installation service. This includes but is not limited to the provision of a firm and level base being in place and accessible on the agreed date of installation. Failure to provide such a base will result in the installation being aborted at the expense of the customer who would then have to pay further charges should they wish to re-arrange the installation.
Installation is available on almost each and every timber garden shed and log-cabin. Please confirm at time of booking if you require installation.
Crawley Sheds and Cabins installations are carried out by Us or subcontracted installation partners. The pro-installation team will contact you in advance of the installation of your garden building to arrange a suitable time and date for the fitting – this may be on a separate date to that of the delivery. You do not have to be around on the day of installation should you give the installation team permission to access your property.
The delivery driver is not responsible for the installation of any building delivered.
The Installers have a guide of up to 10 working days following the delivery in which to arrange and complete the installation unless discussed and agreed as otherwise. This is a guideline not a guaranteed time frame and may be extended during busier periods.
It is essential that the installer is able to use a short and easily accessible route to take the building from where it has been placed during delivery to where it is required to be installed. This includes ensuring there are no obstacles such as narrow pathways or archways. If the access route from kerbside to base is particularly long or difficult to manoeuvre you may be required to move the building into position yourself before the installers arrive - please clarify this in advance with your installer if you are unsure to avoid the possibility of a re-visit charge having to be applied.
It is essential that a Firm and Level base be in place before installation can take place - failure to provide this, in the opinion of the professional installation team, will result in the installation being aborted with a re-visit charge being required to be paid by the customer should another appointment have to be made.
It is essential that the base whereby the installation is required to take place is clear and easily accessible with sufficient working space around all sides (generally considered to be approximately 18 inches) before the install team arrives and if this is not possible, the customer will inform Us prior to the installation taking place. Failure to provide a cleared base with reasonable working space will result in the installation being aborted with a re-visit charge being required to be paid by the customer should another appointment have to be made.
It is essential that you have fully checked the delivery of your garden building to ensure that all components, parts and fixings are present and correct before the install team arrives (informing us before-hand should there have been any shortages) to ensure that they have everything required for installation to take place.
Product Maintenance and Guarantee
All manufacturers on this website have been carefully selected as brand leaders in their chosen market and the products they supply are fully safety and quality control checked before despatch. In general, our manufacturers offer a full 12 month parts warranty upon all their products. Some manufacturers also offer an extended guarantee on certain product ranges, in such cases this will be clearly marked on the product page and full details and terms of the guarantees provided as appropriate.
The Manufacturer 10 Year, Elite 10 Year, Tiger Cabin 10 Year Timber Guarantees offer protection against general timber rot and decay – the guarantee does not cover the product against timber splits or warping which may occur naturally over time. To maintain the validity of these guarantees the product must be assembled strictly in accordance with the instructions supplied, treated annually (internally and externally) with an appropriate high quality preservative and all glazing units must be sealed (Internally and externally) with silicone or other water tight sealant.
The Manufacturer timber guarantees will be deemed invalid if;
• The product has not been assembled correctly by the end user in line with the assembly instructions – please see our product assembly section.
• The base upon which the product is assembled is not suitable - all buildings should be assembled on a firm and level base constructed from a suitable material – please see our build a base guide.
• The product has not been treated after delivery/assembly (internally and externally) and treated annually (internally and externally) thereafter with an appropriate high quality preservative – please see our product maintenance section.
• Any windows have not been sealed, inside and out, with silicone or other water tight sealant - please see our product maintenance section.
• The product has been customised or adapted in any way.
• At any point after assembly the building has been in contact with any trees, plants or exterior walls which could allow moisture to penetrate the timber.
• Any timber has been cut, pierced or drilled without a subsequent application of approved cut-end treatment.
• The eventual claimant was not the original purchaser of the product.
• The roofing felt or covering has been damaged or incorrectly fitted allowing water ingress – please see our product assembly section.
Please note: timber is a natural product and prone to changes in appearance, including some movement, warping and splitting, particularly in extreme weather conditions. This will not affect the structural integrity of the product – this is natural and is not covered by a guarantee.
Cancellations and Returns
The buyer shall inspect the goods immediately upon receipt and shall notify Us by email as soon as possible after the delivery has been made if the goods are damaged or do not comply with any of the contract. If the buyer fails to do so the buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the goods. Where a claim of defect or damage is made, if goods are in the condition as received (not assembled, painted, treated, or altered in any way) WE will supply/replace/repair any necessary parts to complete your agreed initial purchase. If you are a consumer you have the right, in addition to your other rights, to cancel the contract and receive a refund by informing the seller by email within 14 working days after the day of delivery of the goods. You will be asked, however, to pay the costs of the return postage/carriage to one of OUR Manufacturer distribution centres or for the collection charge by one of Our Manufacturer pre-approved couriers.
If the buyer fails to return the goods following cancellation or does not pay the returning delivery fee, We reserve the right and is entitled to deduct the cost of recovering the goods from any refund issued, which will be up to 25% of the building price for any non-customised or standard product and up to 100% of the price for any bespoke or customised product.
If We send you the incorrect product or if, upon receipt of all relevant evidence, we deem it has arrived faulty or damaged, you will be offered a full refund and exemption from delivery costs. Any item to be returned or replaced must be in the same condition as delivered. We will not accept any product for return if it has been assembled, modified or customised in any way including being subject to the application of chemicals or paints.
Any cancellation within the initial 14 day period will be refunded within 10 days of notification to cancel being received - for any cancellation outside of this timeframe all refunds will be processed within 10 days after the product has been successfully returned. Where exchange rates of currency are involved, the refund will be made in pound sterling and at the current exchange rate. We do not accept responsibility for any loss or gain caused by changes in the exchange rate between the time or ordering and the time of issuing a refund.
If you wish to cancel an order before it has been delivered, you must contact Crawley Sheds and Cabins Limited immediately. You must confirm your cancellation in writing via fax, letter, or email. If you cancel via telephone your order will be put on hold until a written cancellation has been received. If the building has been manufactured there may be a cancellation charge dependant on the individual case. If you have given us a valid email address, you will receive an update email when the building has entered the manufacturing stage.
If you have ordered a Flex Apex, the day after the order is placed, the building is collected by the approved courier of Us to be delivered to you in the three working day delivery period. In this instance, a charge for cancellation will be applied from the day after placing the order as from this time the delivery is in progress.
Please note: all sizes and measurements are approximations only and while WE endeavour to ensure all products are manufactured as close as possible to the measurements provided we cannot be held responsible should there be a discretion in the finished size.
Bespoke / Customised Products
Goods that are ordered to your specification or not available as a standard product from our website, for example made to order sheds and log cabins, cannot be cancelled or returned once the order has entered manufacture as they are considered to be bespoke. In this case, after we have sent you our confirmation email you will have entered into a binding contract to buy the goods, and because the goods are being made to your specification you will not be able to cancel that contract. Once the goods have been delivered you can only return them if they are not of satisfactory quality or reasonably fit for the purpose and we cannot remedy the fault to your reasonable satisfaction. Orders of bespoke products may also extend the average delivery lead time.
Timber and Other Natural Products
Timber is a natural product and prone to changes in appearance, including some movement and the occurrence of small knot holes or splits in extreme temperatures and weather conditions. Any splits, knots or similar visual imperfections in the timber will not affect the structural integrity of the product in any way, are not considered to be damage, and do not render the product unfit for purpose. Whilst every effort is made to hand pick timber without visible knotholes or splits there may be occasions where timber is selected in good faith that contains what appears to be a solid knot. Over the course of time / during movement of the product etc it may occur that these small knot holes are then dislodged from the timber leaving a small knot or crack. Unfortunately we cannot be held responsible for this maturing of the product and can only offer our best advice as how to deal with this situation in the unlikely event that it should occur. When measuring timber for the purpose of technical information the absolute external dimensions will be taken from a sample piece of each component used – it should be noted that due to the complex nature of the product and machining processes that this figure will give an average measurement that could be subject to slight variance throughout the rest of the individual boards in the pack measured. Whilst every effort will be made to select only components which match the average advertised sizing this is subject to the availability of the timber that has been machined and cannot be guaranteed.
Please note: any guarantee offered does not cover the products against timber splits or warping. These are natural characteristics of the products and not defects and neither will these circumstances be accepted as a valid reason for the cancellation of an order, as this can occur naturally over time.
