We use styrene glazing on this summerhouse which is a safe and shatterproof alternative to glass. This summerhouse is supplied with robust fixtures and fittings. We offer a 10 year anti-rot guarantee alongside our standard 1 year manufactures warranty. All we ask is that you treat the building once installed and again annually, with high quality timber preservative and a waterproof top coat.
