Description

Beautifully designed and impeccably built, the 12 x 8 Forest Beckwood Double Door Apex Summer House (3.6m x 2.61m) offers you an idyllic garden retreat, in which to sit back, relax and watch the world go by. And with pressure-treated shiplap cladding, extensive shatterproof glazing and a 25-year guarantee all included as standard, this garden summerhouse is sure to remain your favourite place to spend time for decades to come.

Fully Modular Design and Top-Quality Build

Thanks to a fully modular design, this 12x8 summerhouse is much easier to assemble and far stronger than most wooden summerhouses. This fully modular design also gives you a market-leading choice of door and window placements, so you can customise the summerhouse to your exact requirements.

Supported by a 28mm frame, the 12mm shiplap cladding is strong, long lasting and supremely weathertight. The floor is constructed from premium 12mm tongue & groove boards, so will easily accommodate your heavier items and cope with regular footfall. Pressure-treated bearers allow air to circulate beneath the floor, preventing damp and rot. The 8mm OSB roof comes with a traditional apex design, diamond-shaped finials, and green felt cover to provide you with complete weatherproof protection.

Doors and Windows

You can easily access this summerhouse via glazed double doors, which are fitted with sturdy handles, a tower bolt and turn buttons. Six further large, fixed windows ensure the interior enjoys an abundance of natural light. All of the glazing is made from acrylic, so is strong, lightweight and completely shatterproof.

Maintenance Free and a Market-Leading Guarantee

Constructed using FSC® certified wood, this summer house is pressure treated and suppled with a market-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee, so further treatment is never required, saving you time and money.

White Glove Delivery

Free delivery is available to most UK addresses using Forest's White Glove Service, who will deliver the summerhouse straight into your garden, with all of its packaging removed. Fixings and instructions are included for a straightforward assembly.

Optional Upgrades

If you’d rather the professionals do the work for you, why not select our summerhouse installation service as an optional upgrade? You can purchase a pressure-treated summerhouse base as an optional extra too.

The Beckwood Summerhouse Range - Shiplap, Pressure Treated Summerhouses available in a range of sizes by Forest GardenThe Beckwood Summerhouse Range - Shiplap, Pressure Treated Summerhouses available in a range of sizes by Forest Garden
Number 1 TreatmentNumber 1 Treatment

TREATMENT

Pressure treatment forces preservative deep inside the wood. The result is long-lasting protection against rot and fungal decay. There is no need to re-treat EVER, saving an estimated £200 in time and treatment costs compared to dip-treated summerhouses.

Number 2 FloorNumber 2 Floor

FLOOR

The robust and stable 12mm tongue and groove floor is elevated by pressure-treated joists for extra protection from ground moisture. Due to its thickness, a tongue and groove floor improves the summerhouse’s level of insulation and will neither buckle under the weight of heavier items nor regular footfall.

Number 3 CladdingNumber 3 Cladding

CLADDING & FRAMING

Built from interlocking 12mm shiplap tongue & groove boards, which are robust, durable and supremely weathertight. The tightly-interlocking boards come with a 28mm x 56mm frame, which is 30% thicker than most wooden summerhouses. This extra framing ensures even greater strength and stability. 

Number 4 WindowsNumber 4 Windows

WINDOWS

Both the glazing on the doors and windows are made from lightweight acrylic, making them completely shatterproof and far safer than conventional glass. The fully modular design allows you a choice of door and window placements, helping you customise the summerhouse to your exact requirements. 

Number 5 Wide Double DoorsNumber 5 Wide Double Doors

DOORS

Wide double doors offer you comfortable access to the interior. They are fitted with ¾-length windows so the summerhouse benefits from plenty of natural light. They come with sturdy handles, a tower bolt and turn buttons to keep them securely in place.

Number 6 Robust RoofNumber 6 Robust Roof

ROBUST ROOF

The 8mm OSB roof features a traditional apex design featuring a metal truss bracket that adds strength to the roof, and a green mineral felt cover gives you complete protection from the elements.

PRESSURE TREATMENT PROCESS EXPLAINED

 

The Pressure treatment process for timber has been applied to products for a number of years; the key benefit of this process is that the preservative is forced under vacuum pressure right deep into the heart of the wood and the grain structure. The preservative becomes an integral part of the wood; giving a long life and protection against rot.

 

This process also means that you never have to apply preservatives to your garden summerhouse, and it allows the natural colours of the timber to show through and so your summerhouse blends easily within your garden. Surprisingly, our pressure treated summer houses are only slightly more expensive than dip treated alternatives.
