Are the doors and windows lockable?

Is this summerhouse suitable for year-round use?

While it provides shelter, its suitability for year-round use depends on insulation and heating, which are not included. It is primarily designed as a seasonal garden room.

Do I need to assemble it myself?

What are the approximate dimensions?

Troubleshooting

Summerhouse feels unstable after assembly.

Ensure the base is perfectly flat and level. Double-check all fixings are tightened securely according to the instructions.

Water ingress through the roof.

Confirm the roof felt has been installed correctly and sealed. Check for any gaps or damage to the felt and repair as necessary.

Doors or windows are stiff to open/close.

Check for any obstructions or warping in the timber. Adjust hinges if necessary or apply a light wax to the running edges.

Wood appears to be weathering prematurely.

Ensure a suitable top coat of preservative or paint has been applied evenly to all exterior surfaces. Reapply protective coatings annually or as recommended for your chosen product.
