£859.00

Enhance your outdoor living space with the elegant Loxley 8′ x 4′ Stanton Summer House, an excellent addition for summer dining and relaxation. Featuring a height of approximately 7 feet, this summer retreat offers a spacious and comfortable interior. The dual doors, crafted with precision joinery, are equipped with a mortice lock and glazed with styrene safety glass, much like the fixed windows. The structure is built on robust 44mm square framing and adorned with planed shiplap tongue and groove panels sourced from premium, slow-grown pine. The floor and roof consist of 12mm matching T&G boards, with mineral felt included on the roof for protection. This summer oasis comes with a base coat preservative in a charming honey brown hue, allowing you to customize the final finish with paint or stain. The accompanying image showcases the creative possibilities for decoration. When selecting a location, account for the roof overhang and provide ample space for painting and installation. Opting for factory installation ensures convenience, with the structure delivered and set up on your designated flat, level site. It’s crucial that the foundation is steady, as grass, soil, or gravel may shift under the weight of the summer house. Once your order is confirmed, you’ll receive a delivery date selection link and live tracking details on the morning of arrival. Prepare a suitable base that is level and stable before assembling your new outdoor retreat, as an unstable foundation could hinder the structural integrity of the summer house.

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.
