Description

The Cali Pent Garden Office & Storage, measuring 16 x 8, is an elegant and practical summerhouse that comes with an attached storage shed. The pent roof, windows, and fully glazed double doors allow plenty of natural light to enter the interior, creating a bright and inviting space perfect for a stylish garden office.

Transform your garden with this top-of-the-line summerhouse that offers ample interior space for various purposes. You can set up an office space, a seating area, a gym, and a dining area for entertaining guests. Professional installation is included, and creating a firm and level base, preferably with concrete, is essential.

The summerhouse has double doors for excellent ventilation. It features an external cladding made of an engineered wood board with a cedar finish treated with advanced adhesive resins, water-resistant waxes, and zinc borate, providing four layers of protection against fungal decay and insect damage. The binding agents and resins used are low-emitting, and the engineered wood board is highly durable and resistant to buckling, peeling, cracking, and chipping.

Maintenance is minimal, and periodic repainting will keep it looking new. The interior cladding is made of moisture-resistant MDF with an Oxford profile finish, and the walls and roof are insulated with YBS Airtec Double, which is equivalent to 55mm of polystyrene.

The flooring is made of tongue and groove boards with 25mm Celotex insulation, and the interior features herringbone vinyl flooring. The joinery on the windows and doors is handcrafted, adding to the modern aesthetic of the summerhouse. The front window and doors are interchangeable, and you can upgrade to UPVC or aluminium windows and doors in anthracite grey, black, or white at an additional cost. These options will reduce the door height slightly, and prices are available on request.

This garden office pod includes side storage with a single door that can be secured with a padlock to keep your belongings safe.
