The Shire Westminster Summer House, measuring 7′ x 13′ (2.1m x 4.2m), is a lavish sanctuary suitable for the entire family to unwind in the garden. Crafted in the United Kingdom from 12mm shiplap cladding, supported by a robust 34mm frame, this wooden summer house showcases a premium 12mm tongue and groove roof and floor, guaranteeing exceptional durability and resilience. Its apex roof is covered in weather-resistant felt to repel rain showers. Enhanced with a sophisticated diamond-shaped finial, distinctive barge boards, and a sleek, planed finish, it boasts a remarkably appealing aesthetic.

The doors and windows of this summer house exemplify expert craftsmanship through traditional joinery techniques, ensuring their endurance against the elements. The double doors are secured with a latch and are 3/4 glazed, while the five additional windows flood the interior with natural light. Three of these windows can be opened, facilitating proper ventilation inside.

The premium pine used in crafting this summer house is FSC®-certified, indicating its origin from sustainable and responsibly managed woodlands. Treated with a dip and accompanied by a substantial 10-year anti-rot warranty and a 1-year parts guarantee, both assurances are contingent upon adhering to the manufacturer’s assembly, usage, and maintenance instructions. It is recommended to apply a top-notch wood preservative upon construction and to reapply it annually. Alternatively, customers may opt to paint the summer house according to their preferences.

Comprehensive assembly instructions are provided for a hassle-free setup. A sturdy and level base should be prepared prior to installation.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
