Troubleshooting

Summerhouse is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure the base is perfectly flat and level. Check that all frame joints and fixings are tightened securely according to the assembly instructions.

Water pooling on the roof.

While the curved design sheds water effectively, ensure there are no obstructions on the roof. Check that the roof felt is intact and properly adhered.

Windows are stiff to open or close.

Check for any debris or obstructions. Lightly sand the edges of the opening mechanism or apply a silicone-based lubricant.

Base coat preservative looks uneven.

This is a base coat and is intended to be covered. Apply your chosen topcoat of paint or stain to achieve an even finish.
