Description

The 7 x 7 Shire Charleston Summerhouse features an elegant wooden structure with a delightful hipped roof that amplifies the sense of space and brightness. This garden room is bathed in natural light thanks to two lengthy, fixed, and two operable windows alongside glazed doors, all contributing to its airy and expansive ambience.

Crafted from timber, the Charleston offers a flexible interior space that accommodates garden furniture, transforming it into a perfect setting for garden gatherings. Its straight-cut shiplap timber cladding is designed for efficient water runoff, adding to its contemporary aesthetic. The flat pack assembly ensures straightforward handling and construction.

The hipped roof design and broad doors enhance the interior's openness, with the roof's sloping sides providing wind resistance and promoting ventilation, thereby reducing overheating. This roof style also maximises the interior space by increasing headroom and floor area, while its slope aids in effective water and snow drainage, mitigating leak risks and lessening maintenance needs.

The concealed hinges on the double doors and windows are noteworthy, equipped with a special lip for improved weatherproofing. The window construction features mortise and tenon joints, lending a classic touch and ensuring a weather-tight seal with ease of maintenance through simple disassembly and reassembly.

Multiple windows ensure an influx of light, and the wide double doors enhance the sense of space and facilitate ventilation. This wooden summerhouse can be opened to embrace warmer days or sealed to create a cosy garden room for evening entertainment.

Including tongue and groove flooring adds a luxurious finish, elevating the space's overall quality. It also ensures the floor's durability, making it suitable for heavier furniture or items enhancing the summerhouse's functionality and appeal.

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 also included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice.
