FAQs

What type of base is required for the Mercia Corner Summerhouse?

A solid, level, and square base is absolutely essential. Options include a concrete slab, paving slabs laid on a firm sub-base, or a purpose-built timber sub-frame. An uneven base can compromise the structure's stability and assembly.

How often should I treat the timber?

To maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee and ensure the longevity of your summerhouse, the timber should be treated annually with a suitable wood preservative or treatment. This protects against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack.

Can I paint the summerhouse?

Yes, you can paint the summerhouse. However, it's recommended to apply a high-quality wood preservative or primer first, especially if the paint does not contain preservative properties. Ensure the timber is clean and dry before painting.

Are assembly tools provided?

Fixtures and fittings required for assembly are included. However, you will need your own basic DIY tools such as a hammer, drill, screwdriver set, spirit level, and tape measure.

Is the styrene glazing safe and durable?

Styrene glazing is a high-quality, shatter-resistant alternative to traditional glass. It is significantly safer and more durable than glass in an outdoor environment, while still allowing ample natural light into the summerhouse.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Mercia Corner Summerhouse with Side Shed comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee. Please note that this guarantee is conditional upon the timber being treated annually as per care instructions. There is also a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress or leaks inside the summerhouse/shed.

Check the roof felt for tears or gaps, ensuring it's properly sealed. Inspect seals around windows and doors for damage. Verify that the summerhouse is on a perfectly level base, as unevenness can cause structural shifts leading to gaps.

Doors or windows are difficult to open/close or sticking.

This often indicates timber swelling due to moisture or an unlevel base causing the frame to go out of square. Check the base for levelness. Apply timber treatment to reduce moisture absorption. Lubricate hinges with a suitable outdoor lubricant.

Signs of timber rot or excessive discoloration.

Ensure you are applying suitable timber treatment annually as specified in the care instructions. Remove any vegetation growing against the structure that might retain moisture. For localized rot, consult a timber specialist or replace affected sections if minor.

Difficulty aligning panels during assembly.

Double-check that the base is perfectly level and square. Review the assembly instructions carefully, ensuring all panels are oriented correctly. Sometimes, having an extra person to help hold panels in place can significantly ease alignment.

Lock or key mechanism is faulty or stiff.

Apply a graphite-based lubricant or a general-purpose oil to the lock mechanism. Ensure the door is properly aligned and not sagging, which could put stress on the lock. If still faulty, the mechanism may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Ensure you have a solid, completely level base (e.g., concrete slab or paving). This is critical for structural integrity and preventing issues like door/window misalignment.
  2. Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all parts and check against the included inventory list. Separate similar pieces to simplify assembly.
  3. Assemble Walls: Follow the detailed instructions to assemble the wall panels using the provided fixtures and fittings. Ensure panels are correctly oriented for the summerhouse and shed sections.
  4. Install Doors & Windows: Attach the double doors and fixed windows, ensuring they are plumb and square. Install the styrene glazing carefully.
  5. Construct Roof: Assemble the heavy-duty tongue and groove roof boards. Apply the roofing felt (if supplied) according to instructions to ensure weatherproofing.
  6. Final Touches: Install the brushed chrome effect handles, hinges, and the secure lock and key mechanism.

Compatibility

  • Base: Compatible with solid, level bases such as concrete, paving slabs, or a timber sub-base. An uneven base will compromise the structure and may void warranties.
  • Tools: Basic DIY tools (e.g., hammer, drill, screwdriver, spirit level, measuring tape) are required for assembly.

Care & Maintenance

  • Regular Timber Treatment: It is crucial to apply a high-quality timber preservative or treatment annually. This protects the wood from rot, decay, and insect infestation, and is necessary to maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee.
  • Cleanliness: Keep the exterior free from debris, especially around the base to prevent moisture build-up.
  • Check Glazing & Seals: Periodically inspect the styrene glazing and any seals around windows and doors for damage or signs of wear, replacing them if necessary to prevent water ingress.
  • Hinge & Lock Lubrication: Lubricate hinges and the lock mechanism periodically to ensure smooth operation.
  • Ventilation: Ensure good airflow around the structure to minimize moisture build-up, especially in the shed section.
