Description
The Shire Peony 8x6 Pent Summerhouse offers the perfect blend of style, durability, and practicality, making it a stunning addition to any garden. Built with robust 34x34mm framing and shiplap tongue and groove (T&G) cladding, this summerhouse delivers exceptional strength and a smooth, weather-resistant finish. Its elegant, traditionally mortised and tenoned double doors and window add a touch of classic charm, making it both functional and beautiful.
Designed to flood the interior with natural light, the Peony features a large opening window fitted with 2.8mm SAN glazing for added safety and ventilation. Proudly made in the UK using high-quality FSC-certified timber, it’s an eco-conscious choice that prioritises sustainability without compromising style.
The Peony’s modular design allows interchangeable front panels, enabling you to adapt the layout to suit your garden space. Whether used as a relaxing retreat, a hobby room, or a space for entertaining, this summerhouse offers a bright and welcoming atmosphere, ideal for any purpose.
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.
Installation option
If you are choosing the installation option after placing your order you’ll be contacted within 5 working days by Shire the manufacturer either by a text message or automated telephone message (the latter if a mobile number is not supplied). This message will supply you with the name of the website to go on to where you will be required to accept the terms and conditions for assembly. Any delay in accepting these terms and conditions may affect your timescale. Once you have accepted these terms and conditions you will be contacted during the timescale with a date for the delivery/assembly of your order. The installation option will extend your lead time by up to 15-25 working days. This may take longer during seasonal periods. 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.
