Description

The 8 x 8 Shire Ramsey Corner Summerhouse is a delightful garden addition, offering charm and practicality. Its clever corner design efficiently uses outdoor space while providing a spacious hideaway that feels open yet private. Double doors with large glazing and two opening windows bring in natural light and airflow, creating an inviting interior throughout the seasons.

This summerhouse is designed for strength and durability and is built from robust 12mm shiplap cladding using interlocking tongue-and-groove boards. A solid 34mm x 34mm frame provides further stability, while the 12mm tongue-and-groove roof and floor ensure a premium finish. Mortise and tenon joints on the doors and windows add an extra layer of quality and security, setting this model apart from many alternatives.

Its natural timber finish is timeless and can be painted or stained to match your garden’s style. Left in its natural hue, it retains a warm, rustic look, while custom finishes allow you to create something more contemporary. With a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, you can be confident this summerhouse will remain a reliable feature in your garden for years.

More than just a garden building, the Ramsey is a versatile retreat that can adapt to your needs. Its solid build and considered design make it a lasting investment, whether used for relaxation, work, or play.

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 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.

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.
