Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation is essential for the longevity of your summerhouse. Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a flat, square, and level base. This prevents the building from twisting, which would make closing doors and windows difficult.
Assembly Tips:
- Assemble with at least two people due to the weight of the timber panels.
- Ensure all timber components are treated with a high-quality wood preservative immediately after assembly (unless pre-treated).
- Check that the waterproof felt is pulled taut and secured correctly to prevent roof leaks.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly clear leaves and debris from the roof felt to prevent trapped moisture.
- Re-apply wood treatment every 1-2 years to maintain the finish and weather resistance.
- Inspect the toughened glass seals periodically to ensure no water is penetrating the window frames.
