ROOF Whether you opt for the traditional Apex or the more contemporary Pent roof style most buildings feature a 0.38m (15”) roof canopy. If you wish to add a veranda then this can be added as an option in depths of 0.6m, 0.9m or 1.2m (2’, 3’ or 4’) and these optional verandas would include a decking floor, side rails and – in the case of the two larger sizes – wraparound front rails.
The roof itself is constructed from 16mm (12mm finished) T&G matchboard on sturdy roof purlins and covered with a heavy duty polyester based roofing felt. There is an option of cedar shingles or long-life felt tiles if you prefer something a little more decorative.

When choosing a summer building, you need to check the specifications to ensure it will have the strength to last. So always check out the thickness of the timber, whether it’s made from redwood or the cheap inferior whitewood, how thick the framing is etc. Are the doors and windows joinery made, meaning they will last a long time? Does it have toughened glass for safety or imperfect horticultural glass, plastic or perspex? All important questions.
On many of the buildings available on the web, you will find that they will deliver them to your house and leave them for you to build. You can save a little money this way, but you will have to build it yourself. That’s OK if you are a good DIYer, but it will still be hard work. The best option is to take advantage of 1st Choice’s FREE assembly option on the Diamond and Platinum buildings. They will do all the hard work – all you need to do is build a level base for it to go onto. And they can even arrange that for you as well if you wish. This way, you can be sure your new building will be built correctly, and all you need to do is enjoy it.
We have a large range of
summerhouse sizes for you to choose from and in several styles. However, we specialise in making buildings to suit your needs. Whether it needs to be taller, extra or fewer windows or the doors and windows moved, we can do that for you. Ensure you buy the building to suit you and your family with no compromises. Give us a call at (0333) 800 8880 or visit our showroom and discuss what you would like. We are happy to provide a quote to suit you with no pressure.
