About Waltons

Written by the company

At Waltons, we believe outdoor spaces hold more than tools - they hold possibility. It can be a studio, a hideaway, a workshop, or a quiet corner for daydreaming. We’re here to make that space easy to create - with quality garden buildings delivered to your door and all the advice and support you need to bring your outdoor vision to life. Out here, the smallest spaces can unlock the biggest ideas. We’re here to help make it happen.


We’ve been building things for the outdoors since 1878 - long before garden sheds were a household staple. It all started with E.C. Walton, a bee-keeping lecturer who began crafting affordable beehives for his students. When local farmers saw his carpentry skills, they came calling for chicken coops, and soon Walton Muskham Beehive Works was born.


From those early days in Nottinghamshire, we’ve spent over 140 years learning how to design and deliver high-quality garden buildings that stand the test of time. What began with beehives has grown into sheds, summerhouses, and spaces that help people make more of their outdoors.


When you choose Waltons, you’re not only investing in high-quality products - you're choosing expert design, time-tested durability, and a customer-first commitment that sets us apart. Here’s why thousands of homeowners continue to trust Waltons for their outdoor space.

Good Quality, multiple missing parts, take your time to build it

Have only been able to assemble half of the total swing/climbing/tower set due to a large quantity of the tower set missing.

No urgency to replace, working to a lead time, cant guarantee a delivery. Customer service were fine but have no control to be able to make anything happen.

All looks good quality, you need some patience to unpack and construct it, but so far the structure is good! Shame is ruins a birthday a bit and expect more when you pay £4 figures for something.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We're pleased to hear that the parts you have been able to assemble appear to be of good quality and that you're happy with the structure so far. However, we're very sorry that a large number of the tower components were missing from your order, particularly as this impacted your birthday plans. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially after investing in a premium playset.

While we're glad our Customer Service team were helpful, we're sorry we haven't been able to provide the certainty around replacement times that you were hoping for. We appreciate how frustrating that is.

We appreciate your patience and hope your playset will soon be fully assembled and ready to enjoy.

Having had the playground for a few…

Having had the playground for a few months now I feel I can genuinely review it.
Overall we are really happy with the product and the fitting service.
I would just make a couple of points:

The edges of the wood were very ragged and I had to sand them all down to smooth them off otherwise they would have snagged the children’s skin and clothes.

The green portholes are very crudely cut with jagged edges. I feel that they should have been pre-cut by machine for a better quality finish.

Overall though my granddaughter loves it

Corner Summerhouse with shed - great purchase

The order process was simple and delivery went smoothly.
An experienced contractor assembled the corner shed and summerhouse in a timely manner. Some comment they made about the instructions, which were primarily designed for the summerhouse, that said if you have the shed as part of the combined structure then do not carry out the last few instructions- so they had to undo some part of the assembly.

The finished article though looks amazing and is fit for purpose. Great product and at a reasonable price.

Would definitely shop at Waltons again.

The summerhouse it self is great and looks fab in my garden, only thing I’d say, and I know you’re trying to save on paper! But only having the instructions on the phone was ignoring in the bright sunlight and so small, a paper copy would have been better, that being said, my Brother has built plenty of sheds in the past and we built it together without the instructions in the end! If people have never built stuff like this before I would recommend paying to have it installed.

Delivery was late but lad was stuck on a closed road for 4 hrs due to a crash, but going to hold that against him. He even apologised, bless but wasn’t his fault his lorry was too big to turn around so he had to just wait. But it was nice to have an explanation of why he was late.

Flimsy

Flimsy shed made with unsuitable thickness of wood.
Had to add flooring to be able to walk on it let alone put any gardening equipment on.
Would not recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We are very sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your shed.

Our timber buildings are designed for the storage and use outlined in the product specification, so we're sorry to hear that you felt the floor was not suitable for your requirements. We appreciate how frustrating it must have been to make additional modifications after installation.

We value all customer feedback, and your comments have been shared with the relevant teams as we continue to review and improve our products.

Easy to order via their website

Easy to order via their website. Delivery was very prompt and well organised.
Product was able to be put together in an afternoon, though is better when there are 2 people assembling.
The internal beam support for the roof is in 2 parts, which would be better if it was in one whole piece for strength and support. This allowed the roof to sag slightly, which in our opinion was a design flaw. We rectified this by adding a whole beam. We also added some internal batons to the window ledges.
Aside from this, we were very impressed with the greenhouse and are enjoying using it.

Excellent product. Needs level foundation and labelling. The odd piece slightly warped but to be expected with a wooden structure. Followed the instructions and build it in a couple of days. Highly recommend this company

Superb quality

Superb quality. A bit of hassle as delivery of wrong log cabin. But Waltons picked up wrong cabin and delivered new one reasonably quickly considering I live in northern Ireland. Cabin very solid and in feels quality in every way from floor, windows etc to roof. Only issue was getting my son to help me build it. Lol. Not that easy to build but we took our time and are very happy with the results
Couldn't be happier.
Next thing I need is a greenhouse and I won't be buying from any other company.

Very pleased purchase of large shed and summerhouse

The woodsman shed and Wessex summerhouse are good quality. The instructions are clear and was pretty easy to construct.
They look great, and the pre-painted option was a great time saver and was done to a good standard. Upgraded felt is much better.
Overall very happy and would use them again.

Ordered from these guys and the item came extremely quickly. The delivery driver was excellent and kept me in the loop with regards to delivery times and so on. One item was missing, however when contacted the customer service a replacement was sent immediately and came within two days. I would highly recommend this company
