Product Information

Full details

The Shire Ramsey 8x8 Corner Summerhouse is designed for homeowners looking to create a functional and attractive garden retreat in an underutilized corner. Its key benefit is maximizing space while providing a bright, airy environment for relaxation or work. A potential caveat is the need for personalising the wood treatment after initial dip-treatment. This summerhouse features a smart corner design, double glazed doors, opening windows, durable tongue and groove construction, and a 10-year anti-rot guarantee.

FAQs

What is included in the delivery?

The delivery includes all timber panels for walls, floor, and roof, glazed double doors, two opening windows, roof felt, fixings kit, and full assembly instructions.

Do I need to treat the wood?

Yes. The summerhouse is supplied dip-treated with a base coat. However, you must apply a suitable exterior wood preservative and top coat immediately after assembly and on a regular basis thereafter to protect the timber and maintain the guarantee.

What kind of base do I need?

A level and solid base is required. Options include a concrete slab, paving slabs, or a treated timber subframe. The base must be sturdy enough to support the weight of the summerhouse and allow for air circulation underneath.

How long is the guarantee?

The Shire Ramsey Corner Summerhouse comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, provided the timber is regularly treated with a suitable preservative and top coat.

Can I paint or stain the summerhouse?

Yes, once you have applied the necessary preservative, you can paint or stain the summerhouse in any colour you choose to match your garden's aesthetic.

What are the exact dimensions?

The external dimensions are Height: 211 cm, Width: 225 cm, and Depth: 225 cm.

Is the summerhouse waterproof?

The summerhouse is designed to be weather-resistant, especially when properly treated with preservative and top coat. The tongue and groove construction and supplied roof felt help protect against rain, but it is not completely waterproof under extreme conditions without proper ongoing maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Summerhouse is difficult to assemble.

Ensure all parts are present and correctly identified using the instructions. Consider enlisting an extra pair of hands for lifting and aligning larger panels. Check that the base is perfectly level.

Wood appears to be warping or swelling.

This can happen initially if the wood has not been properly treated or if exposed to excessive moisture before treatment. Ensure proper ventilation and apply a high-quality preservative and top coat. Check that the base allows for air circulation.

Doors or windows are stiff to open/close.

Check for any obstructions or misalignment. Adjust hinges if necessary. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of hinges and runners.

Condensation inside the summerhouse.

Ensure the opening windows are used regularly for ventilation, especially on humid days. Avoid drying laundry inside. Check that the roof felt is correctly installed and sealed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent use of garden space with its corner design.
  • Generous natural light and ventilation options.
  • Robust construction ensures longevity.
  • High-quality timber reduces aesthetic flaws like knots.
  • Ready for custom finishing.
  • Backed by a 10-year anti-rot guarantee.

Cons

  • Requires personal treatment for full weather protection.
  • Assembly may require more than one person.
  • The base coat is a primer; significant additional treatment is needed.
  • Weight (179.0 kg) means a solid base is essential.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The summerhouse is supplied with full assembly instructions and a fixing kit. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size and weight of the panels. Ensure you have a level and solid base (e.g., concrete slab, paving slabs, or timber frame foundation) prepared before starting construction.

Compatibility: This summerhouse is designed for garden use. It requires a clear, level area of approximately 2.25m x 2.25m. The timber is supplied dip-treated, but it is essential to apply a suitable exterior wood preservative and top coat *immediately* after assembly to protect against moisture and UV damage.

Care: Regularly inspect the timber for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Reapply preservative and top coat every 2-3 years, or as recommended by your chosen treatment manufacturer, to maintain the anti-rot guarantee and the aesthetic appeal of the summerhouse. Keep the area around the base clear of debris to allow for air circulation.
