Description

The 12 x 4 Lela Pent Summerhouse is a wooden summerhouse with a charming design. A pent-roof design makes the interior feel big and bright. The garden room with shed has two long fixed windows so lots of light floods in.  Combined with the glazed double doors, these make it feel like a spacious summerhouse. You can adapt the summerhouse design to suit your desired space by switching the position of the handy side shed. Not sure which side you want to put the shed on? No problem, the positioning can be decided when you build your new summerhouse.  

The Shire Lela is a timber summerhouse with a versatile area inside. It can hold a garden furniture set, giving you the ideal garden entertaining spot. It features straight-cut shiplap timber wall cladding that aids water runoff and enhances the modern summerhouse finish. The flat pack construction makes this easy to handle and put together.

The pent roof and wide-opening doors create a wonderful open feeling to the interior. Two large windows provide plenty of light. Double doors open wide to make it feel even more extensive and are excellent for ventilation. You can open up the wooden summerhouse as it gets warmer. Alternatively, close the doors to make a comfortable garden room for entertaining outdoors during the evening. 

The summerhouse's tongue-and-groove flooring gives it a beautiful finish that makes the space feel more high-end. It also makes the floor sturdy, so it is better for weight-bearing furniture or other items you place inside. The included side shed gives you everything in one high-quality garden building. Store your garden tools and other equipment inside, keeping your garden tidy and organised.

Make the Most of Your Summerhouse:

The delightful Shire Lela 12x4 Summerhouse, with its unique side shed attachment, is a splendid enhancement to any garden. Its picturesque design and expansive windows make it an exceptional space for many uses.

Transform the Shire Lela Summerhouse into an elegant outdoor tea room. Add a vintage tea set and cosy seating to enjoy afternoon tea amidst the fragrance of blooming flowers. The ambient sunlight streaming through the large windows will enhance the atmosphere, making it feel like a scene from a classic novel.

For those with artistic inclinations, the summerhouse can morph into a serene artist’s studio. The abundance of natural light is ideal for painters, sketchers, or even photographers. Add an easel, canvases, and perhaps a few art supplies to create your artistic sanctuary.

What sets the Shire Lela apart is the adjoining shed. This space can store gardening tools, summerhouse decor when not in use, or bikes and outdoor toys. The charming pent summerhouse can become a quaint reading nook. Adorn it with plush seating, soft lighting, and shelves filled with books for the ultimate escape.

The beauty is in the flexibility: choose the shed on the left or right, depending on your garden layout and personal preference. The intelligent design lets you decide when to build it rather than before ordering it. It gives you true flexibility when buying the Lela Summerhouse. No matter how you personalise this structure, it will be a functional and aesthetic gem in any garden.

About Your Order:

The Shire Lela Summerhouse is a British-made garden building made from sustainably sourced timber. You will get a low-carbon footprint summerhouse made from ethically sourced materials. The practical design makes it straightforward to assemble. It comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty. 

Superior fixings, high-quality roof felt, and optional assembly from the manufacturer are included. The timber boards attach to a solid internal framing to make hard-wearing and sturdy panels. The Lela is flat-packed for easy handling and assembly.

Please note: Images may depict furnishings and accessories; these are for illustration purposes only and are not included with your order. 

Summerhouse Aftercare:

The summerhouse has timbers that have been dip-treated to protect them during transit. You must apply a preservative and waterproofing topcoat immediately after installation. Using the treatment after installation, followed by consistent annual treatment of the garden summerhouse, will maintain the high-quality finish and is a requirement of the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A 1-year manufacturer's warranty is included as standard.

To treat the summerhouse, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best paint colour to add your personalised finish.  In the options section, we’ve also included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice.
