FAQs

What is the actual size of the summerhouse?

The approximate imperial dimensions are 12ft x 8ft. For precise measurements, refer to the metric dimensions: Height: 199.0 cm, Width: 357.0 cm, Depth: 239.0 cm.

Do I need to treat the wood immediately?

Yes, the summerhouse is pre-treated with a base coat preservative. You should apply your chosen top coat of paint or stain immediately after installation to ensure the timber is fully protected.

Can I assemble this on my own?

While possible, assembly is ideally recommended with two to three people for ease and safety, especially when handling larger panels.

What kind of base do I need?

You must have a flat, level base of sufficient size. This is critical for stability and longevity. Assembly on grass, soil, or gravel is not recommended as these surfaces are unstable.

Is the glazing safe?

Yes, the glazing is made from acrylic, which is a safer alternative to glass, reducing the risk of breakage.

Can I change the placement of the windows and doors?

Yes, the contemporary design allows for interchangeable door and window locations, giving you flexibility in customizing the layout.

What is the warranty period?

The Shire Mayfield Summerhouse comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Summerhouse is unstable

Ensure the summerhouse is erected on a perfectly flat and level base. Check that all fixings are tightened securely according to the instructions.

Windows or doors do not close properly

Check for any obstructions or warping. If the frame has shifted due to an uneven base, re-level the base and re-secure the summerhouse.

Water pooling on the roof

Verify that the mineral roof felt is correctly installed and sealed. Ensure there are no gaps or tears in the felt. Check that the roof has a slight pitch to allow drainage.

Wood appears discolored or weathered

This indicates the need for re-treatment. Apply a fresh coat of exterior wood paint or stain as recommended after thorough cleaning and drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

  • Requires a pre-prepared flat, level base; assembly on uneven ground is not possible.
  • Assembly ideally requires two to three people.
  • Base coat preservative is applied, but an additional top coat of paint or stain is needed immediately after installation for full protection.
  • Imperial dimensions are approximate; metric measurements should be prioritized for accuracy.
  • The product is delivered pre-treated with a base coat, but requires immediate finishing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: A crucial first step is preparing a flat, level base of sufficient size. This base can be constructed from concrete slabs, paving, or a timber deck. Assembly is designed for two to three people and requires following the provided instructions. Ensure you allow adequate space for roof overhang and access during the assembly and painting process.

Compatibility: This summerhouse is designed for outdoor garden use. It is compatible with standard garden treatments; immediately after assembly, apply your chosen paint or wood stain to the base-treated timber for full protection against the elements. The 12mm T&G timber floor and roof are suitable for general use, but ensure the base prevents ground moisture from reaching the structure.

Care: Regularly inspect the summerhouse for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the acrylic glazing with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners. Reapply wood preservative, paint, or stain every 1-2 years, or as needed, depending on exposure to weather, to maintain the timber's condition and appearance. Ensure the roof felt remains intact and free from tears.
