AsgardWhat Kind Of Products Are In The Asgard Range?

Asgard have seven different ranges as part of their brand. The most notable of course is their line of metal storage sheds. One thing we really like about the metal storage sheds that Asgard make is how they have such a great selection when it comes to their size. For those with a more compact garden or who already have a shed, but want to add a little extra storage space, they have some great sheds in the 5 foot range. For those who need lots of space then they have sheds that are as large as 7 X 11 and 7 X 14. Another jewel in the Asgard crown is their bike stores. Asgard clearly understand that a bike enthusiast wants to keep their bike safe so they have a fantastic selection of high quality, high security metal bike stores. They have bike stores that can comfortably store one bike and then they have some that can handle as many as 4 bikes. As well as bikes, you bikers are taken care of as well as they also offer some very smart looking motorcycle storage sheds.

We already touched on their sheds, but Asgard actually have another line of sheds. These are ones that are high security sheds. These are made to be even more secure and have extra strong doors and security measures to keep people out. Asgard also have a few let’s just say unusual storage solutions. They have a line of school lockers and school equipment sheds which we know may sound like something you would never need in a million years, but it is worth having a look as some of these would make for excellent storage solutions. The last part of the Asgard brand is what they call their caravan storage. Now the idea of this we feel is for those who love to go camping to have a space to keep their gas tanks and other items safe, but actually some of these caravan storage sheds that they have would be great for other things as most of them have large double doors and a spring assisted lid.

AsgardHow Is The Quality?

The quality of Asgard products is very impressive. They really do make some of the best metal storage products that we have ever seen. All of the products that are part of the Asgard brand are made from very strong heavy gauge weatherproof steel. They have been using this material for years and years so it is fair to say that they are master craftsmen when it comes to making sheds out of it. It also ensures that their products are very robust and long lasting. Some of their products can weigh as much as 70 stone, so you know there is no way that the wind or one of the kids is going to knock it over. Making their sheds and other storage structures out of this material also makes them very easy to look after. You have no worries about treatment or any kind of decay over the years and cleaning them is just a case of a wash down with the hose or a bucket and sponge.

A huge selling point of Asgard’s sheds is their security. The one thing we were particularly happy to see is that they are approved by the Police Secure by Design program. They say the following about the program.

Secure and protect your garden tools and equipment in a high security metal shed that will provide the best protection for your tools & equipment. A tough, all metal construction has given Asgard high security sheds a level 1 rating from the Loss Prevention Certification Board, which could help to reduce insurance premiums.

As you can see the Asgard USP (Unique Selling Point) is they make their sheds so that they will keep your items safe. While they do have a range of high security sheds that take this to even higher levels, even their standard sheds will provide you with a safe and secure place to keep your gardening items, tools or even the kids toys. Asgard are actually one of the best when it comes to offering you a safe place to keep your belongings. Some of their products are actually police approved and we are not talking the band Sting was a part of, but the actual police. Breaking into a shed made from heavy gauge steel is far harder than one made from wood, not that we here at WhatShed go around breaking into people’s sheds of course. In all seriousness, if security is something you are concerned with and you want to make sure that your belongings are as well protected as possible, but you lack the money to pay for a security guard, then a strong metal Asgard shed is the next best thing.

AsgardHow Are The Products Priced?

Now with Asgard sheds being made from heavy gauge steel you are probably bracing yourself for them being very, very expensive. Actually this is not the case and Asgard sheds can be very affordable. If we take their standard sheds as an example they have a range of metal storage sheds in the 5 foot category that are all under £400. They have a couple of different bike stores that will not just protect your bike, but also not make you wince as again they can be purchased for under £400. One of the most surprising aspects of the Asgard range is their high security sheds, which with all their extra security sound like they are going to cost a fortune. Actually their high security sheds stars at around the £400 mark and go up to over £1,000, making them far more affordable than people may think.

Of course Asgard do have some higher end items as well and many of their larger more spacious storage products are going to cost considerable more. Their 7 X 14 Extra Large Security Shed for example is £1732, but considering its size and the quality we feel that even this is not too overpriced. In all we are actually very happy with the prices that Asgard are charging for their sheds and other products and when you take into account the materials they are made with and the security you are getting. We are sure that you will feel very comfortable paying the asking price for an Asgard shed.

AsgardHow Customisable Are Asgard Products?

Due to the materials that Asgard use to make their sheds, bike stores and other products, there is not any tinkering you can do with the design. We are sure though that this is not really going to be an issue for most of you. They do though offer you some very interesting and practical extras with most of their products. These are things like shed hooks, shelving and even some extra flooring. We like how they are not trying to tempt you with all this random stuff and are instead just suggesting things that are actually useful.

Asgard: Our Final Thoughts

Asgard is a brand that really impressed us. Now granted they do not have the biggest variety we have ever seen and many of their products do have a similar look, but we feel the products they do have are not just easy on the eyes. They are also incredibly well made. By using that high quality and long lasting steel to make their sheds and other structures, Asgard are ensuring that whatever you purchase will last for many years. If security is one of the main things you are looking for in a shed, then Asgard is a brand that we cannot recommend highly enough. One other thing that we want to say about this brand is that they have their products priced very fairly so that earns them another big thumbs up from us.

    Terrible delivery and installation process. My shed was delivered heavily damaged and dented. The installers carry paint to paint over the scratches and it ends up looking a total mess. The delivery was delayed repeatedly and when they did turn up, they did so without making an appointment. The delivery team was most annoyed at me for not being available, perhaps explaining why the shed ended up dented and scratched. It has since been returned to the factory and an argument is in progress about costs.

    PLEASE READ BEFORE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON A SHED WHICH YOU MAY BE RELYING ON BEING BUILT IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS FROM ORDERING

    I ordered and paid £1600 for an asgard shed on 3rd March 2018. It was finally delivered on 26th April 2018. I started to build it but when it was nearly complete found that they had sent an extra rear side panel and I was missing a front side panel. This meant I could not finish it and had to brace the half built roof with wood to prevent it bending.

    After 3 weeks of trying to contact asgard and request the right panel (which involved them promising to call me back numerous occasions but not doing so) they delivered the wrong part on 18th May despite me clearly telling them what was required and even giving them the part number.

    I have called to again request the right part to be sent and was promised they would call me back which they have not done.

    I cannot understand how a company can give such little regard for its customers and the disruption they have caused. I have no confidence that I will receive the right part any time soon. I have not been offered any sort of compensation and they will not follow my advice of paying a courier to get the part to me instead of waiting until one of their other deliveries are in my area.

    I was considering buying another smaller Asgard shed but there is no chance I will ever use this company again.

    Updated review 25th May 2018 – finally after a number of attempts to contact Asgard and get a new panel delivered i received that correct part today. Asgard offered to complete the build and are supplying me with a number of shed accessories as compensation. I am happy it has been resolved and with their final resolution. My only feedback is I wish they had been better at communicating with me and giving me a timeframe of delivery. Not calling back when promised on numerous occasions left me kept in the dark.

    The shed itself I would happily rate as 5 stars due to its quality and ease of assembly. It is exactly what I was hoping it would be and well worth the price.

    Very insecure – Thieves took just 4 minutes to break in.
    While these products look and feel secure, they have a basic flaw in the design. 2 locks, both with armour in front of them – who could circumvent that ? Well it turns out, based on our CCTV footage, anyone with a basic metal cutter. A very simple process of just cutting between the roof and the padlock. Even in the dark with a torch, it took thieves just 4 minutes to break in. They didn’t even bother with the other side, they just pushed up the lid on the one side, open the front doors, and removed the bikes. They looked like young kids, so it’s clearly incredibly easy.

    If you’re looking for a weather proof shed for bikes, this is great. If you’re looking for something secure, you may aswell not bother.
