FAQs

What size base do I need for the 8 x 8ft summerhouse?

You will need a flat and level base that is at least 8 x 8ft to accommodate the summerhouse and allow for the roof overhang and installation access.

Can I choose where to place the doors?

Yes, the modular design allows you to install the double doors in either of the two front wall positions.

What is the eaves height of the summerhouse?

The summerhouse has an impressive eaves height of around 7 ft, providing ample headroom.

Does the summerhouse come painted?

The summerhouse is supplied with a honey brown dip-treated base coat preservative. You will need to apply your chosen paint or stain as a top coat immediately after installation.

What type of wood is used for construction?

The summerhouse is constructed from the highest grade, slow-grown, FSC-approved pine, clad with planed shiplap tongue and groove boards.

Is assembly required?

Yes, assembly is required unless factory installation is selected. A full set of instructions and fixings are included.

What are the dimensions of the framing?

The building is built on robust 34mm square framing.

Troubleshooting

Summerhouse feels unstable after assembly.

Ensure the base is perfectly flat and level. Check that all framing components are securely fastened and that the cladding is properly fitted.

Water ingress after rain.

Verify that the roof felt is correctly installed and sealed. Inspect the shiplap joints and door seals for any gaps and address them with appropriate sealant if necessary.

Difficulty closing or locking the double doors.

Check for any obstructions or warping. Ensure the framing is square and that the mortice lock mechanism is properly aligned with the strike plate on the frame.

Wood appears to be drying or cracking.

This can occur due to natural wood movement. Ensure the top coat has been applied and maintained as recommended to protect the timber from extreme weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: A critical first step is preparing a flat and level base of sufficient size. Surfaces like grass, soil, or gravel are unsuitable as they can shift under the building's weight. Ensure there is adequate space around the perimeter for roof overhang and for access during painting and installation. If factory installation is chosen, the site must be prepared accordingly. After ordering, you will receive a link to select your delivery day, with live tracking available on the day.

Compatibility: This summerhouse is designed for outdoor garden use. It is compatible with various types of paint or stain for customization. Note that delivery is currently restricted to certain postcode areas.

Care: The summerhouse comes with a honey brown dip-treated base coat preservative. It is recommended to apply your chosen top coat (paint or stain) immediately upon installation to fully protect the timber. Regular maintenance, including reapplication of the top coat as needed, will ensure the longevity and appearance of the summerhouse.
