Description

The 12 x 8 Premium Helios Summerhouse from Mercia is a contemporary summerhouse with a unique design that will complete the look of your garden. The pent roof and wide-opening double doors make the interior bright and airy. The fantastic look makes this the place to be on balmy summer evenings.  

Choosing to buy a summerhouse is one of the best ways to improve your garden and make the most of your time outdoors. The Helios Summerhouse is perfect for family time and getting together with friends for BBQs and drinks. It’s a great outdoor room for entertaining, and a large overhang is on the front of the roof. It’s ideal for escaping rain showers and provides plenty of shade on hot days.

The pent roof and double doors make the interior spacious and give the wooden summerhouse a relaxing atmosphere. The four windows let in lots of light, and the three-quarter glazed double doors offer excellent ventilation. Open up the room as the weather warms up, and as the night turns cooler, you can close them and stay cosy inside.

Summerhouse Aftercare:

The summerhouse has a base coat on both sides; this is a water-based golden brown product for protection during transport. To ensure you enjoy your summerhouse for many seasons, you must apply a preservative and waterproofing topcoat immediately after installation. Using these treatments after installation, followed by consistent annual treatment of the summerhouse, will maintain the high-quality finish and retain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A 1-year manufacturer's warranty is included as standard. All you have to do is assemble and enjoy!

To protect the summerhouse, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best summerhouse paint colour to add your own personalise finish.  We have included some popular Protek paint colours on this page.

You will also be notified at this time if your area incurs a surcharge or delivery is not covered in your area.

Prior to Delivery

On the morning of your delivery date, you'll be sent an update by text with an estimated 2-hour delivery slot (this update can only be provided where a mobile number has been supplied on the billing address section at the time of checkout) together with a link to the manufacturer delivery portal where you'll be able to track your order.

Please note: Mercia Metal Sheds ONLY - your order is delivered by a courier you will not be notified prior to the delivery. If you are not in on the day of the delivery you will be carded and asked to contact the courier to arrange a new mutual delivery date. The estimated delivery lead time for Mercia's Metal sheds is identified on the product for the metal shed. Lead times are on working days (Monday - Friday) excludes Bank Holidays.

Upon Delivery

Your order is delivered either kerbside or driveway and will be delivered on either a 3.5T, 7.5T or 18T Lorry. Unfortunately due to health and safety and insurance liabilities the driver will not be able to take your goods around to the back of your property but may upon request place the product at the side of the house if there are no access or restriction issues. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product to an unsafe location. Unfortunately, we will not be able to go through your property.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

Orders with Assembly 

The lead time for our installation option is around 7 Weeks from the date of order. With the installation option, the majority of orders will have their delivery and installation on separate days; there will be a small number of orders which will have delivery and installation on the same day. You will be advised by the manufacturer's installation team which category your order falls into.

Depending on the installation option for your order, you will be contacted within the delivery timescale and given a date for either delivery/assembly on the same date or a separate date for delivery and assembly.
