Designed with long, large windows to let in as much light as possible, perfect for a hobby room or reading den. Made with overlap boards for this modular summerhouse, it's a perfect improvement to any garden. It features fully modular panels, meaning it's delivered in smaller sections but provides more wood for easier assembly, more versatile configuration, and a stronger summerhouse. The Forest 4Life range of summerhouses are the best overlap summerhouses we've ever made. The pressure treatment applied gives this summerhouse a 25-year anti-rot guarantee as standard, offering maintenance freedom and eliminating the need for preservative treatment. You'll only ever need one summerhouse with a 4Life summerhouse! Instead of the more common OSB (oriented strand board), this summerhouse features a solid timber floor, allowing for the storage of heavier items. The roof of this apex summerhouse is made from hardwearing 8mm solid sheet, finished with a green sand-felt cover for complete weatherproof protection. These high-quality garden buildings are manufactured in the UK with FSC certified timber. All fixtures, fittings, and felt needed to build these modular summerhouses are included, along with easy-to-follow instructions. The extended roof overhang provides extra shade and protection from the elements, while giving the summerhouse a more traditional and attractive look.
