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.

Wish I could give 0 stars…

We ordered a summer house in April for my grandma’s 91st birthday. Alarm bells rang when I was sent a link for the system Walton’s use to schedule their deliveries. There was a long script at the top of the webpage detailing issues they are experiencing and to expect long delays. None of this was mentioned at the point of payment.

The summer house was finally delivered in June. It had missing parts, the window had a huge crack in it and the door wouldn’t close. The overall build quality was poor. My grandma was so disappointed as she has always used Walton’s and couldn’t believe how poor the quality is. She said it’s really gone down hill.

Walton’s arranged a revisit to repair the issues. We waited in all day for someone to attend but at around 5pm, they said they couldn’t make it. We’d been waiting in all day. Today (over 4 months since ordering) we’ve had the same thing happen again. The problem is, we ordered this summer house in April and it’s now September! 4 months since ordering and we’re left with a faulty summer house with missing parts. Plus it’s rained a lot recently so the summer house has let in water and the replacement door has been left outside, so they’ll probably tell us it’s no good anyway.

I would avoid this company at all costs.

Kenzie did the best he could given the circumstances left by the last fitters. Although he tried everything in his power to rectify this problem he was unable to due to lack of materials. I strongly request that Kenzie reattends to continue rectifying all our concerns.

Order and checkout process was smooth

Order and checkout process was smooth, delivery date for the item was quite a long wait, however unsure whether that is standard as I don't tend to go around buying greenhouses regularly!

We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your purchase and that you experienced issues with the delivery and condition of some of the components.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re particularly sorry to hear that a panel was damaged on arrival and that you have also experienced concerns with the base and windows.

We would always be happy to look into reported issues and arrange replacement parts where appropriate. We also want to clarify that the flooring supplied with the building is OSB board, rather than chipboard.

If you would like us to investigate the issues you have raised further, please contact our Customer Services team with your order details and we will be happy to review this with you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re pleased to hear that you’re happy with the main 44mm log cabin, although we’re sorry that the side shed and assembly instructions did not meet your expectations.

We really appreciate your feedback regarding the instructions and the numbering of individual parts. We understand how much easier assembly would be if the components were clearly labelled, and we’ll ensure your comments are passed on to the relevant team for consideration.

Thank you again for sharing your experience — feedback like this is valuable in helping us improve.

M McKenzie was great

M McKenzie was great, he did a wonderful job, very thoughtful, considerate and hard working. Nothing seemed to much hassle for him. We are so happy with his work and would definitely recommend his joinery skills

The product is ideal for us.

The product is fine, The delivery was good with the person very helpful. Communication was good and we were kept informed about the delivery.

The item itself was nice and does feel like it should last for a decent amount of time.

There are a few things that could be improved. First, have the instructions in an obvious place. I eventually found them but have them attached to the confirmation email.

Second: when scanning the QR code to get to the order I ended up getting a 'your computer has been hacked' page which was annoying - was just an ad but I don't expect that to happen. Checked again and it did the same.

Overall very pleased.

The only complaint that I have are 2 points.
1 7 x knots in the over lap boards at the rear that needed repair.
2 not all the planks in the doors were cut square and 2 of the outside planks were twisted and needed gluing and clamping.

Pent Metal Shed

l found my purchase from Waltons from doing the online order to the delivery exalent and was kept fully informed along the way.
The garden shed arrived undamaged and placed where l required.
The shed took just over 5 hours to build the only problem was some pre drilled holes were missing on the roof.
Now built looks ok hopefully should get quite a few years out of it.

Reluctant to cancel my order although I haven't received any goods !!

I purchased a log cabin on finance, made 1 payment, then had problems with the foundation I had had built for it so had to cancel the purchase. Waltons advised me to think about it !? I did not receive the log cabin and it wasn't installed. I emailed them again to cancel my purchase and they have left me hanging now til they reopen on Monday.

We understand that your circumstances changed due to issues with the foundation you had prepared and that you subsequently contacted us to request cancellation. We’re sorry if you felt you were left waiting for a response.

As the order has not been delivered or installed, we will review your cancellation request and the circumstances surrounding it as soon as our team is back open on Monday.

Delivered to the time frame the driver…

Delivered to the time frame the driver gave the evening before delivery.
Driver was very helpful and assisted offloading and moving to rear of property.
Only 1 niggle was no identification on any parts which would’ve speeded up the build but still managed to follow the downloaded plan and had the log cabin built and watertight in 7 hours.
