ROOF
A heavy duty green mineral polyester-based roofing felt atop 16mm (12mm finished) T&G match boarding with roof purlins supported as necessary on sturdy roof trusses and beams. The roof incorporates a unique soffit venting system which ensures good airflow within the roof space. We can upgrade this to Firestone EPDM for longer life. This model feature a decorative roof canopy to the front of the building as follows: Twyford – Contemporary style ‘continuous’ roof with under clad canopy
HEIGHTS
There is a generous internal eaves height of 1.93m (6′ 4″) raising to 2.16m (7′ 1″) at the high wall on all sizes. All external roof heights comply with the 2.5m maximum height restriction imposed when erecting a building under Permitted Development.
DOOR
All doors are constructed using hemlock for the greatest stability and durability, set in a solid frame with a traditional drip-cill and hung on heavy butt hinges. There is a choice of chrome, brass or black door furniture and the doors are fully glazed allowing light to flood in.
WINDOWS
This model boasts plenty of glass to allow light to flood inside your building. The default position – which we are always happy to vary without additional charge – will see a 1.2m (4′) wide double door to the centre of the long wall with a flanking window either side (where space permits) and one window to each side elevation. All windows are fixed although a top-hung opener can be added to any of these windows to increase internal air circulation if desired. There is a choice of different window styles:
• Contemporary – 1.5m (5′) high glazing to allow the maximum amount of light to flood into the building
• Classic – An alternative to Contemporary glazing; available in 1.2m (4′) and 0.9m (3′) variants
• Chalet – Similar to the Contemporary glazing but with the pane split into three to give a more traditional appearance
• Cottage – A modern-classic featuring a traditional split-sash style window and matching doors
• Georgian – Traditional 6 pane Georgian doors and windows offer a greater degree of privacy
ALL YEAR ROUND USE
If you are planning on using the building year round then we can fit double glazed units or even fully insulate your new summerhouse at the point of installation.
TREATMENT
Your building will be supplied with pressure treated cladding to guard against rot and to ensure a long life with minimal maintenance however we do recommend a suitable water repellant weather protector is applied externally as soon as possible after installation in order to prevent moisture ingress into the timber. As a service we are able to apply this protection before your building leaves the factory for an additional sum. You can choose from a selection of colours from the Valtti Color range (of which we show a selection at our display site) or the Valtti Kesto Plus translucent lacquer. We can also paint door/window frames in Valtti Opaque paint for an additional £12 per item
• Unlimited designs to complement every setting
• Huge amount of glass to maximise natural light
• Free on-site installation
• Option for exterior to be painted in a lacquer or coloured stain

- The Big Question is How Much Will A Summerhouse Shed Cost?By their very nature, it’s not possible to have a price list for all the thousands of buildings which could be supplied to meet your needs. However, to get a ‘ballpark’ figure, there’s a rough way of doing this and is as follows:- Decide on the design of building you would like and go to that web page. On the web page, there will be a link to the price list relating to that model. Either decide on the overall size of your shed summerhouse combo and write down the prices. You then need to add an internal partition, and the cost for this is about £30 per linear ft. So if the building was 12ft wide across the front, the partition would be 12ft, and the cost would be an extra £360. You would then need to add a door for access to the combi storage shed, and this would be about £100, depending on the type of door chosen. The second way to get a rough price is to take the price of the summerhouse and the price of the shed and add them together, and it would be there about. We are, of course, delighted to supply you with a firm quote to meet your needs. Just call us on (01483) 237550 or (0333) 800 8880 or use our contact form or visit our display site.

- Why Is Viewing A Summerbuilding In Person Essential Before Purchasing?With the internet, it's often difficult to see what your new building will be like. This is why it's essential to view examples before delivery. This way, you can see how well it's been made, whether there is sufficient head height, whether the doors and windows are solidly made and how good the timber is Whilst some internet-only companies may claim it's best to buy online, it is only sometimes possible to be sure what you are getting. If they are not prepared to let you see their buildings beforehand, then be wary. The cheapest price is only sometimes the best value.
