The Shire Aster Summerhouse is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a versatile garden structure that balances a relaxing retreat space with functional, hidden storage. Built from high-quality, slow-grown northern European pine, it features a 12x8 ft footprint and clever design elements like bi-fold doors for seamless garden access. While it provides an elegant addition to any backyard, users should note that the timber arrives with only a base coat preservative and requires a dedicated, level foundation for long-term structural integrity.

The storage room location is decided during the initial assembly process. Changing the configuration after the building is completed would require a partial disassembly.
You must prepare a flat, level, and solid base such as concrete, paving slabs, or a timber deck. Direct contact with grass or soil will void the integrity of the timber.
Yes, styrene is a shatter-resistant safety glazing material, making it a safer option than traditional glass for garden structures.
No, it arrives with a honey brown dip-treated base coat. You are expected to apply your own choice of top coat preservative or paint.
The building includes locks and keys for both the bi-fold doors and the storage area to keep your belongings and furniture secure.
Check that the foundation is perfectly level. If the base has shifted, the frame may torque, causing the doors to bind.
Ensure the mineral felt is installed correctly with no overlaps allowing water entry and confirm that the structure remains level.
The initial dip-treatment is for transit protection only. Apply a dedicated outdoor wood stain or paint to restore color and increase UV/moisture protection.
Installation requires at least two people and a level base. You must avoid placing the structure directly on grass, soil, or loose gravel to prevent moisture ingress and timber rot. Upon delivery, the timber is protected by a honey brown dip-treated preservative, but this is a factory base coat. You must apply a high-quality water-repellent wood treatment or paint shortly after assembly to protect the pine from the elements and extend its lifespan. Check all fasteners periodically to ensure they remain tight after the timber settles.
