Description

The Burghclere Summerhouse, measuring 8 x 8, is a delightful garden building made of wood. Its reverse apex roof design provides ample headroom, creating a more expansive atmosphere. The summerhouse boasts three windows, one fixed front window and two fixed side windows. When combined with the glazed double doors, these windows allow natural light to flood the interior. You can customise the summerhouse layout to suit your preferences by relocating the front window to the left or right side.

The Shire Burghclere summerhouse is a timber structure with a versatile interior space that can accommodate garden furniture, making it the perfect spot for outdoor entertainment. The straight-cut shiplap timber wall cladding enhances the summerhouse's style and aids water runoff. It is delivered in a flat pack, which makes handling and assembly simple.

The reverse-apex roof and double doors create an airy feel within the summerhouse, while the front and side windows allow plenty of natural light. The doors open wide, creating an even more spacious environment and providing excellent ventilation. If desired, you can opt for side windows that open, allowing you to increase the airflow when it gets warmer. On cooler evenings, simply close the doors to create a comfortable garden room for outdoor entertainment.

The tongue and groove flooring adds a touch of elegance to the summerhouse while also providing a sturdy foundation for heavy furniture or other items you may want to place inside.

Summerhouse Aftercare:

The summerhouse has timbers that have been dip-treated to protect them during transit. You must apply a preservative and waterproofing topcoat immediately after installation. Using the treatment after installation, followed by consistent annual treatment of the garden summerhouse, will maintain the high-quality finish and is a requirement of the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A 1-year manufacturer's warranty is included as standard.

To treat the summerhouse, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best paint colour to add your personalised finish.  In the options section, we’ve included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice.

Unfortunately we will not be able to go through your property. Deliveries are hand-balled off by the driver.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.
