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.

I will not be recommending this company…

I will not be recommending this company to anyone, had a cabin delivered, started to assemble this only to find some timbers were badly twisted and unable to be used. Phoned customer service who made me feel that it was my fault , had to send lots of photos and give me the impression I was out to rip them off. Took 10 working days to send replacement items,all the time unfinished cabin was open to the elements. I paid up front for this cabin, also customer service couldn't provide me the company policy on thier quality control before items leave the yard. Also had to pay for a carpenter twice because of the delays, had no offer off this company to cover some of the costs, was told I should have checked every piece of timber before starting, basically it was my fault.

Cracks

The main beams of the swing and slide set have large cracks and eventhough (at the moment) it might not affect the strength but it does look like second or third class timber.
Not impressed, and the bog standard reply from the service department shows nobody is really interested.
Much better value for money out there. Would not recommend and will not purchase again.

Good quality for the garden

Great climbing frame for my four year old son! Build took a whole day but that was to be expected. Good quality product and looks amazing now it’s up. He absolutely loves it!
One thing that I think would be helpful would be labelling of the wood pieces and screws. It took some time to prep everything, measuring the wood and screws to ensure you were using the correct parts. Would just make this bit easier.
My only other suggested improvement is with the delivery. It was delivered by one person. This was a lot of wood pre packaged in to some very heavy bundles. Luckily I am in a position to help lift and carry them, which I did. If it would have been delivered to someone unable to help the delivery person, I am unsure it would have been completed….at the very least safely. It did arrive on time, the live tracking was great as well as a phone call when nearly here.

The shed we ordered was delivered on time

The shed we ordered was delivered on the date stated.
The reason I have given a 4 star and not a 5, is that when we were putting the shed together, we noticed that some of the slats hadn’t been nailed in.
Also the flooring was very flimsy.

Ordered and received a summer house this weekend. It is beautiful and we are very happy with it. Delivery was exceptional- 6.30am on a Saturday morning and the driver was amazing. Construction was straight forward and the quality is great.

I haven’t had the shed erected yet

I haven’t had the shed erected yet, hopefully this week sometime. So far I am delighted with my experience with Waltons. Delivery was on time and delivered with care. I have so far managed to paint the shed to save me doing it when erected.

Summer House

Delivery of the summer house was on time, wrong felt for roof but resolved very quickly but customer support team. My only issue would be the quality of the product. Nails sticking out of timber as driven in to far or in wrong position, crack timber and a number of joints with wide gaps.

Bought a HUUM sauna and the control…

Bought a HUUM sauna and the control panel’s failed three times now. First one cracked within a month, then the replacements kept packing up. Turns out the heating elements are actually from Finnmark Sauna, a third party — nobody told me that when I bought it. When I asked for another screen, they just said “contact Finnmark yourself.” I refused, and they went completely silent for weeks. I was without my sauna for over two months, still paying the monthly installments the whole time. Their replies were slow and pretty abrupt when they did come. They wouldn’t refund me or even cover the electrician call-outs. In the end they sent a replacement as a goodwill gesture, but I never got the original one they said they’d dispatched. Honestly, it’s been a really frustrating experience. Wish I had gone with another company.

We're very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused by the repeated issues with your sauna control panel. We appreciate how disappointing it must have been to experience delays, be without your sauna for an extended period, and feel that communication did not meet your expectations.

Appalling

Delivery driver is the only reason they get 2 stars .

2 rolls of the felt had melted ( kept out of the sun my end )
Floor doesn't meet up properly.
3 of the 6 pains of plastic for the window looks like they have been melted .

Not a good summer shouse at all and described as the 9ft x 9ft premium although not a bad price in the whole , I recon you could get better else where for the money.

We're pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with our delivery driver, but we're very sorry to learn that the product did not meet your expectations.

The customer service team I can not fault.I managed to get through to a colleague every time I rang. I did however not receive my climbing frame on the date I had chosen (my sons birthday) so that was very disappointing. The delivery driver had called in sick.
However I received it then next day.
The building of the climbing frame is not for a none carpenter..like myself.
It took well over a week.. the instructions needed extreme concentration.
But once built it's a beautiful climbing frame indeed!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We're delighted to hear your kind comments about our Customer Service team. It's wonderful to know that you were able to get through to a member of the team each time you called and that they were able to assist you. We'll be sure to share your feedback with the team, as they'll really appreciate your recognition.

We are, however, very sorry that your climbing frame wasn't delivered on your chosen date, especially as it was for your son's birthday. We understand how disappointing that must have been. Whilst the delay was due to unforeseen driver illness, we appreciate this would have had a significant impact on your plans.

We're also sorry to hear you found the assembly challenging. We appreciate your feedback regarding the instructions and will pass your comments on to the relevant team for review.

It's fantastic to hear that, once completed, you are pleased with the climbing frame and that you think it's beautiful. We hope your son has many years of fun and enjoyment with it.

2 Summer Houses, poor quality.

I bought a summer house based on reviews on their website, it was delivered, parts where broken, damaged & very dirty! I rejected it, second one was delivered, it was even worse than the first one, didn't even make it of the truck, will not be using Waltons again! Very poor quality control.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We are sincerely sorry to hear about your experience and apologise for the condition of both summerhouses you received. We appreciate how frustrating it must have been to have one delivery rejected due to damaged parts, only for the replacement to arrive in an even worse condition.

This is certainly not the standard of quality or service we strive to provide, and we understand why this has left you feeling disappointed. Your comments regarding the quality of the products and our quality control processes have been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams for review.

We regret that we have lost your confidence and thank you for bringing your experience to our attention.

I love my wee summerhouse

I love my wee summerhouse. We opted for self build and self paint. My hubby and son are very good at DIY so he managed to put it together quite easily. But there were a few issues with Instructions not being clear enough. The bolts to hold one door closed were no use and we had to buy long throw slip bolts to keep closed securely. Maybe Waltons could have a look at this part and see if they could make better instructions or an online video. So if not very good at diy you might want the company to build it or get help from someone a bit more fit savvy than yourself. However as I said I love my wee summerhouse. And I would buy from Waltons again.

I ordered a 7X5 pent shed.Unfortunately it looks like a 7X5 Tea bag.Once erected nearly all the wood knots have fallen out.
The flooring material is very weak too.
Other than the fact that it’s full of holes and the floor could collapse it’s not a bad shed.

We are very sorry to hear that you have been disappointed with your shed and that it has not met your expectations.

We appreciate your concerns regarding the knots in the timber and the flooring. As timber is a natural material, knots are a natural characteristic, however they should not compromise the overall quality or usability of the building. We're sorry to hear this has affected your experience.

Your feedback is important to us, and we will ensure your comments are shared with the relevant teams as we continue to review and improve our products and quality standards.
