Description

The Shire Alora Pent Summerhouse 16x6ft is the ultimate garden addition for those who value style and functionality. With its sleek pent roof and expansive size, this summerhouse adapts effortlessly to various uses, from a peaceful retreat to a lively space for entertaining or a creative workspace.

Crafted with premium tongue and groove (T&G) shiplap walls, roof, and floor, it’s built to last while offering a refined, polished look. The sturdy 34mm x 34mm timber frame provides a solid structure that easily handles daily use and changing weather. Thanks to its 8 large windows and double doors, the interior is flooded with natural light, creating a bright, airy atmosphere that makes the space feel welcoming all year round.

One of the standout features of the Alora is its adaptable design. You can customise the positioning of the doors and windows to suit the layout of your garden, ensuring it fits perfectly within your space. The SAN-glazed windows offer safety and clarity, while the weather-resistant materials make it low-maintenance and durable.

Whether you imagine hosting garden parties, setting up a stylish office away from the house, or simply having a place to unwind after a long day, this summerhouse is up for the task. The Shire Alora Pent Summerhouse 16x6ft is more than just a garden building—it’s a space to bring your ideas and lifestyle to life.

Optional Summerhouse Base:

Installing a summerhouse on soil or grass isn't ideal, but this base allows it. Use a heavy-duty weed membrane underneath. This quick and easy solution provides a solid base without the cost of concrete or slabs. Made from 44mm x 70mm pressure-treated wood with deep preservative penetration, the base is suitable for lawns or firm soil. Adjustable base spikes (up to 100mm) are included. Simply screw the timbers and attach spikes for a sturdy, elevated base that keeps damp away. Order this base from the 'Choose Additional Options' section above.

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.
