Product Information

Full details

The Shire Fleur De Lys Summerhouse is designed for homeowners looking to add a traditional, elegant focal point to their garden that doubles as a functional outdoor room. Its primary benefit is the combination of a spacious interior with abundant natural light provided by Georgian-style glazing, making it an ideal retreat for relaxation or entertaining. One caveat to keep in mind is that due to its size and weight, it requires a solid, level foundation and may necessitate two people for assembly to ensure structural integrity.

FAQs

Does the summerhouse come with a floor?

Yes, the Shire Fleur De Lys includes a floor, but it must be placed on a firm, level base.

Can I paint the exterior a different colour?

Yes, you can paint or stain the timber, provided you use high-quality outdoor-grade wood paint or treatments.

Is the glazing real glass?

The summerhouse features traditional-style glazing designed for light transmission. Please handle with care during assembly.

How many people are needed to assemble this?

We recommend at least two people due to the size of the panels and the weight of the glazing.

Is it waterproof?

The structure is designed to be weather-resistant, but ensure all panels are joined tightly and the roofing felt is applied correctly to prevent leaks.

Troubleshooting

Doors are sticking or not closing flush

Check if the base is still level. If the base has shifted, the frame may become distorted, preventing proper door alignment.

Glass in the Georgian windows is rattling

Ensure the decorative lattice and glazing beads are securely fastened. Use small, non-corrosive panel pins if necessary to tighten the fit.

Timber appears to be drying out or fading

Apply a fresh coat of suitable wood stain or preservative designed for exterior garden buildings to replenish the protective barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, traditional Georgian architectural detailing
  • Generous interior height creates a spacious feel
  • Excellent natural light from fully glazed doors and bay window
  • Sturdy construction suitable for seasonal outdoor use

Cons

  • Requires a perfectly level foundation for correct installation
  • Significant footprint requires ample garden space
  • Assembly is a time-intensive process for non-professionals
  • Requires ongoing timber maintenance to preserve the brown finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting assembly, ensure you have a firm, level base made of concrete or high-quality paving slabs. The timber components arrive treated, but it is highly recommended to apply a wood preservative or high-quality stain shortly after installation to protect against weathering. For ongoing care, inspect the roof felt annually and tighten any hardware that may have loosened due to natural timber movement. Avoid placing heavy items against the internal walls to ensure proper airflow and maintain the structural alignment of the doors and windows.
