Description

The 7 x 5 Forest Oakley Summerhouse is a charming summerhouse with a traditional look. The apex roof and double doors make it feel bright and airy inside. You will love spending your time inside this wooden summerhouse. The classic look and compact design make this superb for small gardens.

When you buy a summerhouse, it’s the perfect way to enhance any outdoor space. This small summerhouse can be your own private retreat. The pressure-treated summerhouse can house a small table and chair set so you can entertain in your garden. The straight-cut wall cladding overlaps to help water runoff, and the modular summerhouse design makes it easy to handle and assemble. Forest summerhouses and sheds use more timbers to improve strength and stability.

The apex roof and wide opening doors create an airy, genuinely relaxing atmosphere. The large windows let in plenty of light, and the wood is pressure-treated to make sure you can enjoy it for years to come. Double doors are excellent ventilation; you can open up the space during the summer months. As the weather gets cooler, you can close the doors to make a cosy outdoor entertaining space.

The floor inside a summerhouse in this price would usually be made from an OSB board. With the Forest Oakley, you get a 14mm Pressure treated boarded floor; it’s an excellent upgrade that makes the space feel more luxurious. It also makes the base stronger for weight-bearing furniture or other items you place inside.

About Your Order:

The Forest Oakley is a UK-made summerhouse that features FSC® certified timber. Pressure-treated wood is used throughout the construction. The treatment gives you a 15-year guarantee against rot. The simple design makes it easy to assemble, and all the fixtures and fittings required are included.

The summerhouse has hard-wearing fixings, high-quality roof felt, and easy-to-follow assembly instructions. The pressure-treated, straight-cut overlapping boards are fixed to sturdy internal framing for strong, weather-resistant panels.

Please note: Images may show the summerhouse painted, with furnishings and accessories; these are for illustration purposes only and are not included with your order.

Summerhouse Aftercare:

The wooden summerhouse is made from pressure-treated timbers for excellent durability and long-lasting use. Pressure Treated products do not require annual re-treatment. These products have the anti-rot solution applied within the cells of the timber structure, giving them improved rot resistance. The treatment may leave a greenish tinge on the wood; this is normal and will grey over time. Forest Garden Pressure Treated products come with a 15-year Anti-Rot guarantee. The manufacturer advises that if you want to personalise your summerhouse with a colour of your choice, ensure the treatment you use is recommended for pressure-treated timber. What our manufacturer would recommend for even more longevity and extra protection, is to apply a water repellent product to your summerhouse.
