Product Information

Full details

The Shire Barclay Summerhouse is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and functional garden extension for relaxation, work, or entertaining. Its key benefit is the contemporary hexagonal design paired with ample glazing, creating a bright, connected outdoor living space. A potential consideration is that while it comes dip-treated, it requires a top coat for full weather protection. This summerhouse offers a durable and attractive addition to any garden.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the summerhouse come pre-painted?

No, the summerhouse is dip-treated with a preservative for initial protection, but you will need to apply a quality top coat of paint or stain for full weatherproofing and the desired finish.

What is the warranty period?

The Shire Barclay Summerhouse comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What are the exact external dimensions?

The external dimensions are Height: 211 cm, Width: 176 cm, and Depth: 176 cm.

How thick is the timber framing?

The framing is 34mm square, which is up to 50% thicker than many other brands, providing enhanced durability and stability.

Is assembly included?

Assembly is not included, but full assembly instructions, roof felt, and a fixing kit are supplied to assist with self-assembly. We recommend two people for the process.

What type of wood is used?

High-grade, slow-grown, kiln-dried timber is used, which results in fewer knots and a more stable structure.

What is the flooring and roofing made of?

Both the flooring and roofing are constructed using Tongue and Groove (T&G) timber for a solid and durable finish.

Troubleshooting

Summerhouse appears unstable

Check that the base is level and the summerhouse is securely fixed to it according to the instructions. Ensure all fixings are tightened.

Wood shows signs of warping or cracking

This can sometimes occur due to natural wood movement. Ensure the exterior has been properly treated and maintained. Proper ventilation can also help mitigate this.

Roof felt is not staying in place

Ensure the roof panels are smooth and dry before attaching the felt. Use the provided tacks or adhesive and ensure the felt is stretched taut. Trim excess carefully.

Condensation inside the summerhouse

Ensure adequate ventilation by opening the doors or windows regularly. Avoid drying clothes inside. Consider a moisture trap if the issue persists in very humid conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Foundation: Ensure a level and solid base (e.g., concrete slab, paving slabs, or timber foundation) is prepared before assembly. The base dimensions should match the summerhouse footprint.
Assembly: Follow the comprehensive instructions provided. It is recommended to have at least two people for safe and efficient assembly.
Treatment: Upon assembly, apply a quality wood preservative and top coat to all exterior surfaces to protect against rot and weathering. Reapply periodically as recommended by the treatment manufacturer.

Compatibility:

Placement: Suitable for most garden types, but requires a flat, stable surface. Consider proximity to trees and potential water drainage.
Finishing: Compatible with a wide range of exterior wood paints and stains for customisation.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect for any signs of wear, damage, or pest infestation. Reapply protective treatments every 1-3 years depending on exposure and product used.
Ventilation: Ensure good airflow, especially during humid periods, to prevent moisture buildup.
