Description

The 12 x 8 Cali Pent Garden office & Storage is a stylish summerhouse with a practical storage shed included. The interior is bright thanks to the pent roof, windows, and fully glazed double doors. The striking design makes this perfect for a stylish garden office pod.  

Upgrade your garden with a top-quality summerhouse with storage. With ample interior space, this garden room is perfect for many purposes. Set up a comfortable office space and a relaxing seating area. Create a garden gym by adding gym equipment and use the remaining space as a stylish dining area for entertaining guests. Professional installation of this wooden summerhouse is included in the price. Creating a firm and level base, preferably using concrete, is essential.

The summerhouse features double doors for excellent ventilation. Also, the fully glazed doors provide lots of natural light when closed. The external cladding consists of an engineered wood board with a cedar finish and is treated with an advanced formula of adhesive resins, water-resistant waxes, and zinc borate. A water-resistant, resin-saturated overlay is then applied. That gives four layers of protection against fungal decay and insect damage. All binding agents and resins are low-emitting, and the engineered wood board is highly durable, resisting buckling, peeling, cracking, and chipping.

Maintenance of the summerhouse is minimal, and there's no need to paint it every year. However, refreshing the paint periodically will keep it looking new. The internal cladding features a moisture-resistant MDF board with an Oxford profile finish, imitating traditional cladding with a grooved look. The walls and roof are insulated with YBS Airtec Double, consisting of highly reflective aluminium foil with a laminated surface on either side of an air bubble membrane, acting as a vapour control layer. An R-value of 1.45 Airtec Double is equivalent to approximately 55mm of polystyrene.

The flooring consists of tongue and groove boards with 25mm Celotex insulation to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the summerhouse. The interior features a herringbone vinyl flooring finish, providing a high-end feel. The handcrafted joinery on the windows and doors adds to the modern aesthetic of the summerhouse.  Additionally, you can upgrade to UPVC or aluminium windows and doors in anthracite grey, black, or white, but this will extend the delivery time, and prices are available upon request. These options will reduce the door height slightly, and prices are available on request.

This garden office pod includes side storage, so you get everything you need in one garden building. You can secure the single door to the shed with a padlock to keep everything safe inside.
