The Mercia Corner Summerhouse with Side Shed is designed for optimal performance as both a comfortable garden retreat and a practical storage solution. Its clever corner design ensures it fits seamlessly into most garden layouts, making the most of limited space without compromising on interior room. The summerhouse section, with its styrene glazed windows and double doors, creates a bright and inviting space perfect for relaxation, reading, hobbies, or entertaining guests. The robust tongue and groove construction of both the walls and roof ensures excellent weather resistance, keeping the interior dry and protected. The integrated side shed provides a dedicated, secure area for storing gardening tools, outdoor furniture cushions, or other equipment, keeping your garden tidy. The thick wooden framing and heavy-duty floor offer a stable and durable structure that can withstand regular use. With proper care, including annual timber treatment and placement on a level base, this summerhouse will offer years of enjoyment and utility.
Prepare the Base: Ensure you have a solid, completely level base (e.g., concrete slab or paving). This is critical for structural integrity and preventing issues like door/window misalignment.
Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all parts and check against the included inventory list. Separate similar pieces to simplify assembly.
Assemble Walls: Follow the detailed instructions to assemble the wall panels using the provided fixtures and fittings. Ensure panels are correctly oriented for the summerhouse and shed sections.
Install Doors & Windows: Attach the double doors and fixed windows, ensuring they are plumb and square. Install the styrene glazing carefully.
Construct Roof: Assemble the heavy-duty tongue and groove roof boards. Apply the roofing felt (if supplied) according to instructions to ensure weatherproofing.
Final Touches: Install the brushed chrome effect handles, hinges, and the secure lock and key mechanism.
Base: Compatible with solid, level bases such as concrete, paving slabs, or a timber sub-base. An uneven base will compromise the structure and may void warranties.
Tools: Basic DIY tools (e.g., hammer, drill, screwdriver, spirit level, measuring tape) are required for assembly.
Regular Timber Treatment: It is crucial to apply a high-quality timber preservative or treatment annually. This protects the wood from rot, decay, and insect infestation, and is necessary to maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee.
Cleanliness: Keep the exterior free from debris, especially around the base to prevent moisture build-up.
Check Glazing & Seals: Periodically inspect the styrene glazing and any seals around windows and doors for damage or signs of wear, replacing them if necessary to prevent water ingress.
Hinge & Lock Lubrication: Lubricate hinges and the lock mechanism periodically to ensure smooth operation.
Ventilation: Ensure good airflow around the structure to minimize moisture build-up, especially in the shed section.
