Product Information
Full details
The Bedford Sheds Marlborough Summerhouse is designed for homeowners seeking a robust and secure garden sanctuary that combines long-term durability with aesthetic appeal. Its primary benefit is the 12mm pressure-treated tongue and groove construction, which ensures superior resistance to rot and decay, though potential owners should note that the structure requires an annual topcoat to preserve its structural integrity and finish.

FAQs
Does the summerhouse come painted?
The timber is pressure-treated, which often leaves a natural or slightly green-tinted finish. It is recommended to apply your own exterior wood stain or paint to achieve the desired brown aesthetic.
Can I assemble this by myself?
Due to the size of the panels and the weight of the framing, it is highly recommended to have at least two people present during the installation.
What kind of base is required?
A flat, level, and firm base is essential. A concrete pad or a leveled paving slab area is ideal to prevent structural twisting.
How often should I treat the wood?
We recommend an annual application of a high-quality wood preservative to maintain the integrity of the pressure treatment.
Is the mineral felt included?
Yes, premium mineral roofing felt is included with the kit to provide weather protection for the roof.
Troubleshooting
Doors are difficult to open or do not latch correctly
Check that the foundation is perfectly level; if the base has settled unevenly, use shims to adjust the structure.
Wood appears to be drying out or losing its colour
Apply a fresh coat of suitable exterior-grade wood preservative or stain to replenish the protective finish.
Difficulty assembling the tongue and groove boards
Ensure you are using a rubber mallet to gently tap the boards into place without damaging the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Marlborough Summerhouse, it must be installed on a solid, level surface such as a concrete slab or a pre-built shed base. Before starting, inventory the included fixing kit to ensure all screws and components are present. During assembly, ensure the framing is square; any deviation here can cause the double doors to stick or fail to lock properly. For care, while the timber is pressure-treated, it is not maintenance-free. Apply a high-quality wood preservative or protective topcoat annually to maintain the brown finish and ensure the wood remains hydrophobic. Inspect the roof felt periodically for any tears or bubbling and replace as necessary to keep the interior dry.
