What is included in the box for assembly?
The summerhouse comes with all necessary timber panels, fixings, mineral roof felt, and assembly instructions. The windows and doors are pre-glazed.
What type of base is required?
A flat, level, and solid base is essential. Suitable bases include concrete, paving slabs, or a properly constructed timber frame. Grass, soil, or gravel are not sufficient as they can shift under the building's weight.
Does it require any treatment?
Yes. The timber is supplied with a honey brown basecoat. You must apply a topcoat of a quality wood preservative or paint after assembly to protect it from the weather and maintain its appearance.
What is the warranty?
It comes with a manufacturer's 10-year anti-rot guarantee for the timber, subject to the application of a suitable wood treatment.
How many people are needed for assembly?
It is designed for one-person self-assembly, though having a helper may make the process easier, particularly for handling larger panels.
What are the exact dimensions?
The dimensions are approximately 211cm (H) x 150cm (W) x 207cm (D). This equates to roughly 6.11ft high, 6.8ft wide, and 6.8ft deep. Allowance should be made for the roof overhang.
Can spare parts be obtained?
For spare parts, you would need to contact the manufacturer, Shire, directly.
