Ways to Enjoy your Mumley Summerhouse

As a charming spot to spend your leisure time, it really is hard to beat a summerhouse. Adorned with a table and chairs, you have the perfect dining space for two. What could be better than relaxing with a glass of wine and a meal on a warm summer evening than in the attractive setting of your summerhouse against the background of the vibrant colours of your garden? With the double doors open, you can spill out into your garden on those extra sunny days, and time after time we hear how our customers have really increased their enjoyment of the outdoors with a summerhouse.  Alternatively, many find that the Mumley is a perfect place for their hobbies. It could easily become a stylish and inspiring art studio or simply a quiet nook for your book collection in which you could relax and read the latest page turner. However you decide to make the most of your summerhouse, you can enjoy the best that the outdoors has to offer in considerable style with the Mumley. 

Why Others Tell us they Love the Mumley

Lovers of a traditional summerhouse look are often drawn to the Mumley. With its elegant windows and wide opening doors, you are given a classic feel that so many of our customers love. Its slightly overhanging apex roof is another eye-catching feature, adding extra charm to the summerhouse as well as a handy little bit of shelter or shade. The generous roof height and the glazed double doors provide an interior that feels airy and open, ensuring that spending your time relaxing in the Mumley is a real pleasure. It is also hard to beat the attractive timber finish of a wooden garden building and there is no doubt you will notice the quality of your summerhouse as soon as you step inside. Our customers often like to add their own personal touch by painting their summerhouses and they look fantastic in any colour. Shire recommends that you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make the Mumley look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber.

Features

Shire products are known for their quality, and the Mumley is no exception. The walls of the Mumley Summerhouse are constructed from 12mm thick, shiplap tongue and groove cladding. This gives you a strong, sturdy building with an interior that is nicely weather resistant and well protected from the elements. Plus, the Mumley has a stand out feature in its 12mm thick tongue and groove floor, a high quality specification you will struggle to find on alternative summerhouses in this price bracket. This also ensures a high load capacity, meaning you can adorn your summerhouse with the furniture of your choice without worrying if the floor will be up to the task. Robust 34mm x 34mm framing adds to the sturdiness of the summerhouse and supports an 8mm oriented strand board (OSB) roof that makes sure the interior has good weather protection. This is made only from the highest grade, FSC approved, slow grown northern European pine. Mineral felt is also included for extra weather resistance and protection against damp and rot. This is all protected by a 10 year anti-rot guarantee, so you can purchase your summerhouse in the knowledge you will be buying a high quality garden building that will last. The longevity is also ensured by the pressure treated timber used, though you should make sure to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions carefully. Featuring wide opening double doors with high quality joinery that are glazed 3mm horticultural glass, you have a summerhouse package that is sure to impress for a price that will not break the bank. We’re pleased to offer the option of booking our dedicated professionals who will assemble your summerhouse quickly and correctly. However, you can choose to use the comprehensive instructions included with the summerhouse and construct it yourself.

Please note: The product images give examples of how you could make your summerhouse look once painted. It does not come pre-painted. This summerhouse is supplied pressure treated for longevity, but you should make sure to follow any manufacturer’s care instructions. Shire recommends Protek wood treatment, available from elbec in a wide variety of different colours. This will protect the timber from weathering, making it last longer. The timber treatment will need to be repeated periodically in line with the manufacturer's instructions.

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.

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).

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.

"Overall the quality is very good. The service and delivery was top notch. The build and material quality is great. Construction is easy enough. I must however criticize the roof boards. The OSB should be thicker, even if this raises the price by £20. The supplied boards are far too thin. This necessitates a very small clout nail meaning that the felt detached in 4 days as there was not enough nail biting wood to prevent them pulling away in strong wind. I have bought 12mm clouts and these do the job, but burst through the ceiling. In this area it lets itself down. So Shire, please address this. Otherwise, full marks. "
