Description

Sit back, relax and watch the world go by, inside a Forest 4Life Summerhouse. These garden summerhouses feature a fully-modular design, pressure-treated timber and incredible 25-year guarantee, making them the best overlap summerhouses Forest has ever made. This one is the 8’ x 6’ Double Door Pent Summer House (2.52m x 2.05m), and here’s what it has to offer…

Fully-Modular Summer House Design and Build

This 8x6 summer house is constructed in the UK from 7mm straight-cut, overlapping boards, which allow for the natural movement of the timber and aid efficient rainwater run-off. Including a 28mm frame, this summerhouse's fully modular design means it comes with smaller panels but far more timber, making for an easier assembly and exceptionally sturdy build. This fully modular design also provides a market-leading choice of door and window placements, so the summerhouse can be customised to match exact requirements.

Extra-Thick Solid Timber Floor and Weatherproof Roof Cover

The floor is built from 14mm solid timber boards, which can bear far more weight than standard OSB flooring. Pressure-treated bearers allow air to circulate underneath the summerhouse, protecting this key area from dampness and rot.

The 8mm solid sheet pent roof includes a green mineral felt cover for complete weatherproof protection and to nicely round off this beautiful wooden summerhouse's extremely attractive appearance.

Doors and Windows

Glazed double doors offer easy access to the interior. They are fitted with sturdy handles, a tower bolt and turn buttons. Together with the 4 large, fixed windows, they provide the interior with an abundance of natural light. All of the glazing is PET, which is lightweight, shatterproof and far safer than conventional glass.

Maintenance Free with a Market-Leading Guarantee

The timber used to construct this summer house is FSC® certified, so only sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests. It is then pressure treated and supplied with a market-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee, so further treatment against rot is never required, saving time and money.

White Glove Delivery

Forest's White Glove Service will deliver this summerhouse for free to most UK addresses, straight into the customer's garden, with all of the packaging removed. Clear instructions and a full set of fixings are included for a straightforward assembly.

Optional Upgrades

Optional upgrades include a professional installation service and pressure-treated summerhouse base.

PRESSURE TREATMENT PROCESS EXPLAINED

 

The Pressure treatment process for timber has been applied to products for a number of years; the key benefit of this process is that the preservative is forced under vacuum pressure right deep into the heart of the wood and the grain structure. The preservative becomes an integral part of the wood; giving a long life and protection against rot.

 

This process also means that you never have to apply preservatives to your garden summerhouse, and it allows the natural colours of the timber to show through and so your summerhouse blends easily within your garden. Surprisingly, our pressure treated summer houses are only slightly more expensive than dip treated alternatives.
