Thornbury 12x8 Contemporary Pent Summerhouse with Full-Height Glazing

A contemporary garden room with clean lines: a single-slope roof with a deep front overhang, and full-height glazing across the whole 12 ft front, so you look straight out over the lawn from inside. The Thornbury works as a garden lounge, a quiet place to read or a studio for painting and crafts. The wide glazed double door and fixed panels use toughened safety glass, the walls are 15 mm shiplap tongue-and-groove, and the timber is pressure-treated against rot, so it needs no yearly re-treatment - just a stain if you want a deeper colour. The building is supplied without electrics; any lighting seen in the photos is not included.

Specification

Assembly

Your building arrives as pre-made flat-packed panels: the wall panels, doors and window frames are already assembled, so you fix the panels together, fit the floor and roof, then felt the roof and add the trims. Allow about 8 - 10 hours for two adults. You will need a cordless drill/driver, a hammer, a spirit level, a tape measure, a craft knife for the felt and a step ladder. All fixings, felt and felt nails are included, with step-by-step instructions.

Planning and base

Most garden buildings of this size fall under permitted development in England, but the rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, for listed buildings and conservation areas, and for outbuildings higher than 2.5 m within 2 m of a boundary. Please check with your local planning authority if you are unsure. Every building needs a firm, level base slightly larger than its footprint - paving slabs, a concrete pad or a timber or plastic base system. The base is not included.

Care

The timber is pressure-treated, so it is protected against rot and insect attack without yearly re-treatment. The colour will gradually soften and may weather to silver-grey; you can apply an exterior stain or paint at any time if you prefer a set colour. Check the roof felt every spring and autumn, keep leaves and soil away from the base of the walls, and leave a small gap between the building and any fence or hedge so air can circulate. A little oil on the hinges and lock keeps them working smoothly.
