Description

The 7 x 7 Mercia Bournemouth Wooden Summerhouse with Veranda is a charming and roomy garden retreat for anyone who prefers to be in the midst of nature on a summer’s day. With double doors and a veranda, your summerhouse will catch the eye of any visitors to your garden. A small table and couple of dining chairs can immediately create an inviting space to take lunch that will match a Parisian café for elegance. To turn your summerhouse into a pleasant spot to read away from the distractions of a living room, install a bookshelf and pull up your favourite chair.

Features

When it comes to aesthetic features, a number of thoughtful details in this summerhouse’s design make it a charming building for your garden. These include matching handles on the double doors, a finial at the peak of the apex roof, and a slatted timber floor to the veranda. Two fixed windows on either side of the doors effectively double the ample natural light already offered by the half glazed doors. All glazing used is shatterproof styrene, which should set your mind at ease whenever you are opening or closing the double doors. 

The most notable feature of this summerhouse is its high quality 12mm timber cladding, whose profile is shaped to promote the runoff of water. Its tongue and groove construction involves closely interlocking timbers that create strong panels offering excellent protection against the elements when paired with a wood treatment. All timber in this summerhouse has been dip-treated prior to delivery, which shields it from the elements during transit and assembly, but additional wood treatment is highly recommended. The basic care guide provided by the manufacturer includes all the information you need to know about making certain your building is valid for its 10 year anti-rot guarantee.

A favoured option for wood treatment among customers is that which is offered by the Protek brand, available to browse and order from elbec today. For those who are looking for a more playful appearance to their summerhouse, an expansive range of colours offered by the range allow for some excellent colour pairings. If you add one of the Protek paint options shown on this page with your order, you can enjoy receiving the paint in the same delivery as your summerhouse, while saving on the paint’s original price.

Additional Information

This building is supplied flat packed with detailed instructions and all the fixtures needed to complete assembly by yourself. We recommend that you build your summerhouse with one or two trusted friends, or simply add the option to have your building professionally assembled by our team when ordering. Depending on your previous experience with similar DIY-style projects, we expect the assembly process to take one or two days.

Delivery

ALL DELIVERIES ARE DELIVERED TO KERBSIDE OR DRIVEWAY. All of our Mercia products are delivered flat packed other than fence panels (which are delivered fully constructed), direct to your home, and are supplied with a set of instructions to support assembly.

Booking Delivery

You will be required to book your delivery date at the time of placing your order (except for Metal Shed). Our 'Request a Delivery Date' service is available to the majority of areas and you'll find that the majority of the UK postcodes are FREE but some areas may incur a delivery surcharge and some postcodes are not covered at all. Select a 'requested delivery date' by entering your postcode in the 'Request a delivery date' section above. You will also be notified at this time if your area incurs a surcharge or delivery is not covered in your area.

Prior to Delivery

On the morning of your delivery date, you'll be sent an update by text with an estimated 2-hour delivery slot (this update can only be provided where a mobile number has been supplied on the billing address section at the time of checkout) together with a link to the manufacturer delivery portal where you'll be able to track your order.

Please note: Mercia Metal Sheds ONLY - your order is delivered by a courier you will not be notified prior to the delivery. If you are not in on the day of the delivery you will be carded and asked to contact the courier to arrange a new mutual delivery date. The estimated delivery lead time for Mercia's Metal sheds is identified on the product for the metal shed. Lead times are on working days (Monday - Friday) excludes Bank Holidays. These estimated lead times are provided by the manufacturer. Some remote areas will take a little longer.

Upon Delivery

Your order is delivered either kerbside or driveway and will be delivered on either a 3.5T, 7.5T or 18T Lorry. Unfortunately due to health and safety and insurance liabilities the driver will not be able to take your goods around to the back of your property but may upon request place the product at the side of the house if there are no access or restriction issues. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product to an unsafe location. Unfortunately, we will not be able to go through your property.

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.

Orders with Assembly 

The lead time for our installation option is around 7 Weeks from the date of order. With the installation option, the majority of orders will have their delivery and installation on separate days; there will be a small number of orders which will have delivery and installation on the same day. You will be advised by the manufacturer's installation team which category your order falls into.

Depending on the installation option for your order, you will be contacted within the delivery timescale and given a date for either delivery/assembly on the same date or a separate date for delivery and assembly.

"My summerhouse was delivered on the date promised. It came on a small flatbed truck with only 1 person to deliver it. He was a pleasant person and did a good job. The base was damaged so he took photos and informed the office for me. I received a replacement about 10 days later. I think the replacement was slightly bigger than the original as it sticks out a little at one end. It was ok to build, definitely need help with it. Its not as strong as I thought it would be, reading the description but it looks lovely painted teal blue. "

"Really pleased with the quality: I shopped around to find the best price without a compromise on quality, and found everything I wanted in this summer house. We have painted it farrow and ball dove grey( which is actually a pale sage green) and it looks gorgeous."
