Description

The Shire Parham 7x7 Pent Summerhouse is a sleek and inviting addition to any outdoor space, perfectly balancing traditional timber craftsmanship and minimalist garden room design. Crafted from durable 12mm tongue and groove cladding and set within a sturdy 34mm x 34mm frame, it’s built for strength and stability while maintaining a light, airy appearance. Its large acrylic-glazed windows and three-quarter-length glazed double doors flood the interior with natural light, creating an ideal setting for peaceful mornings or summer gatherings.

The smart pent roof gives this summerhouse a contemporary edge, finished in high-quality felt for reliable weather protection. Inside, the solid 12mm tongue and groove timber floor offers a firm base for furnishings, while the OSB roof keeps the structure lightweight without compromising durability. The included side-opening window allows for gentle ventilation—ideal during warmer days—while the front-facing fixed panes offer uninterrupted views of your garden.

Dip-treated as standard, the Parham Summerhouse has a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, giving you a solid foundation to personalise and preserve with your chosen topcoat. Whether tucked in a corner or centre stage on your lawn, this garden room offers a refreshing space to unwind, entertain, or even work from home.

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.

Make the Most of Your Summerhouse

Transform the Parham Summerhouse into your personal garden retreat—furnished with cosy seating, it becomes a quiet hideaway for morning coffee, reading, or simply soaking in nature’s stillness. Its light-filled interior makes it equally suited to creative hobbies like painting or journaling, giving you a dedicated spot to unwind and refocus.

For more sociable moments, style it as a compact entertainment zone. Add a drinks trolley, fairy lights, and some upbeat music, and you have a charming space for evening get-togethers, a weekend prosecco spot, or just a shaded escape from the summer sun. However you use it, this garden room invites you to slow down and enjoy your space more deeply.

About Your Order:

The Shire Summerhouse is a British-made garden building made from high-quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from sustainably sourced timber. You will get a low-carbon footprint summerhouse made from ethically sourced materials. The practical design makes it straightforward to assemble. It comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.

Superior fixings, high-quality roof felt, and assembly from the manufacturer is available as an optional service. The timber boards attach to a solid internal framing to make hard-wearing and sturdy panels. The Shire Summerhouse is flat-packed for easy handling and assembly.

Please note: Images may depict furnishings and accessories; these are for illustration purposes only and are not included with your order.

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.

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.

Please be aware that the installation team will require full access to your garden, 18' clearance all around the building and a firm and level base. Shire's installation team will not bring a building through your home as they are not covered by insurance to enter a customer’s home.
