Description

How does the acrylic glazing enhance my experience inside?

The acrylic glazing featured in the two opening windows and doors provides safe, clear views of your garden while flooding the interior with natural light. Alongside the excellent ventilation offered by the two opening windows, this setup creates a comfortable and bright space for reading or hobbies. The shatter-resistant quality of the panels ensures peace of mind in busy family gardens without compromising on visual clarity.

Is this corner summerhouse built to withstand the British weather?

This building achieves robust weather resistance through its 12mm tongue-and-groove (T&G) shiplap walls and sturdy 34x34mm framing. Proudly made in the UK from sustainable timber, the structure offers dependable protection against seasonal elements. The tight interlocking profile of the cladding panels helps defend the interior against wind and rain, keeping your sanctuary secure over time.

What are the practical benefits of the corner-fit layout?

The compact 6x6 footprint slots smoothly into angular garden boundaries, preserving your central lawn while offering a dedicated outdoor room. Featuring wide mortised and tenoned double doors, the layout provides convenient access for bringing in furniture, cushions, or hobby equipment. This clever space-saving design ensures you can enjoy a comfortable relaxation area even in more restricted garden spaces.

Optional Summerhouse Base

Installing a summerhouse on soil or grass isn't ideal, but this base allows it. Use a heavy-duty weed membrane underneath. This quick and easy solution provides a solid base without the cost of concrete or slabs. Made from 44mm x 70mm pressure-treated wood with deep preservative penetration, the base is suitable for lawns or firm soil. Adjustable base spikes (up to 100mm) are included. Simply screw the timbers and attach spikes for a sturdy, elevated base that keeps damp away. Order this base from the 'Choose Additional Options' section above.

Summerhouse Aftercare

The summerhouse’s timbers have been dip-treated to protect them during transit. You must apply a preservative and waterproofing topcoat immediately after installation. This treatment, followed by consistent annual treatment, will maintain the high-quality finish and is a requirement of the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A one-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. We’ve also included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice in the options section.
