Description

The Shire Lela Pent 16 x 8 Summerhouse is elegant and quintessentially British. Its contemporary timber design, accentuated by a pent roof, brings a touch of sophistication and space to your garden. The large windows, paired with the glazed double doors, allow the sunlight to fill its interiors, giving it a bright and welcoming atmosphere. And for versatility, you can decide the side shed's position during its installation.

With its spacious interior, the Shire Lela is perfect for accommodating garden furniture, making it the ideal spot for afternoon teas or evening soirees. Its shiplap timber cladding is stylish and practical, ensuring efficient water runoff. Assembling it is a breeze thanks to the flat-pack design.

The summerhouse emanates a sense of grandeur and openness with the pent roof and broad double doors. On those sunny days, you can swing the doors open for a gentle breeze, or on cooler evenings, shut them tight for a cosy garden retreat.

The refined touch of its tongue and groove flooring provides a sturdy and elegant foundation for your furnishings. And remember the integrated shed - a brilliant addition for storing those gardening tools, ensuring your outdoor space remains organised.

Make the Most of Your Summerhouse:

The Shire Lela 16x8 Summerhouse, with a side shed, stands as a jewel in any garden. Transform it into a charming outdoor cafe. Dress it with vintage tea sets and comfy cushions, and let the scents of freshly brewed tea and blooming flowers mingle.

This summerhouse can morph into a sheltered play zone for families with energetic youngsters. Deck it out with colourful playmats, whimsical toys, and storybooks, creating a magical nook where kids can play safely yet in view through the expansive windows.

For the social butterflies, think of a garden pub or a dining nook. A rustic bar counter, swanky stools, fairy lights draped above, and you've got yourself a private pub. Or, set the stage for garden brunches with a dining setup, offering a unique blend of nature and luxury.

The Shire Lela's attached side shed is perfect for tucking away garden implements, festive ornaments, or playtime paraphernalia. The design allows you to determine the shed's position, left or right, as you assemble, tailoring it perfectly to your garden's design.

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.
