Description

The Shire Dahlia 16x6 Pent Summerhouse is a stunning garden feature with style and functionality. With its spacious dimensions, this summerhouse is perfect for creating a comfortable and versatile retreat. Built with robust 34x34mm framing, it delivers superior strength, while the Tongue and Groove (T&G) shiplap wall panels provide a sleek, durable finish. A solid sheet roof and floor add stability and longevity, ensuring the structure withstands the elements.

The Dahlia’s interchangeable wall panels allow flexible configuration to fit your garden layout. Featuring traditionally mortised and tenoned double doors and windows, the design exudes timeless charm. Another feature that sets this summerhouse apart is its opening window which is not commonly found at this price point. The three opening windows provide excellent ventilation and fill the space with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The SAN glazing ensures safety and long-lasting clarity, resisting shattering and discolouration.

Whether you envision it as a luxurious garden retreat, a creative studio, or an outdoor workspace, the Dahlia 16x6 Summerhouse delivers on all fronts. Its contemporary pent roof enhances its aesthetic appeal, while a 10-year anti-rot guarantee ensures its durability for years to come.

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.

Upon Delivery
Delivery is made by Shire the manufacturer. Delivery of this item is typically made by a 17 ton flat-bed (similar size to a council refuse lorry). Delivery is typically between 7am and 7pm. The delivery drivers are only insured to deliver to kerb side or driveway. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product. Unfortunately we will not be able to go through your property. Deliveries are hand-balled off by the driver.

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.

Please be aware that the installation team will require full access to your garden, 18" clearance all around the building and a firm and level base. Shire's installation team will not bring a building through your home as they are not covered by insurance to enter a customer’s home.
