Please note: all imperial measurements are approximate and Forest summerhouses are made from metric measurements. We would recommend that the base is at least 50mm bigger in each direction.

Description

The 6 x 4 Oakley Apex Summerhouse from Forest is a traditional summerhouse with a charming design. The apex roof and wide-opening double doors create a bright and airy interior where you will love spending your time. The classic look and compact design make this great for small gardens.

Buying a summerhouse is a superb way to enhance your outdoor space, and this small summerhouse can be your own private retreat. The pressure-treated summerhouse will fit a small table and chair set so you can entertain in your garden. The straight-cut overlapping timber wall cladding helps with water runoff, and the modular construction makes this easy to handle and put together. Forest sheds and summerhouses also use more timber thereby making them stronger.

The apex roof and wide opening doors create an airy and relaxing atmosphere. The four side windows let in plenty of light, and the wood is pressure-treated for longevity. The double doors are excellent ventilation, so you can open up the space as the weather warms up. As the night draws in, you can close the doors to make a cosy garden room for entertaining outdoors.

The flooring of a summerhouse in this price range would traditionally be made from an OSB board. With the Forest Oakley, you get a high-quality tongue and groove boarded floor, an excellent upgrade that makes the space feel more luxurious. It also makes the floor stronger, making it better for weight-bearing furniture or other items you place inside.

Summerhouse Aftercare:

The summerhouse is made from pressure-treated timbers for excellent durability and longevity. Pressure Treated products do not require annual re-treatment. These products have the anti-rot solution in the timber structure, giving them improved rot resistance. The treatment may leave a greenish tinge on the wood; this is normal and will grey over time. Forest Garden Pressure Treated products come with a 15-year Anti-Rot guarantee. The manufacturer advises that if you do want to personalise your summerhouse with a different colour ensure the treatment you choose is recommended for pressure-treated timber. What our manufacturer would recommend for even more longevity and extra protection, is to apply a water repellent product to your summerhouse.

elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best summerhouse paint colour to add your own finish.
