Why Others Tell us they Love the Larkspur
The Larkspur immediately catches the eye of visitors to our showsite and many of our previous customers because of its distinctive roof design and pointed roof overhang. Whereas most corner summerhouses have a flat or pent roof, the Larkspur stands out, and this charming roof has seen it become very popular among customers. The full-length glazed double doors and two side windows let in buckets of natural light, as well as offering open views of the rest of your garden when inside. Combined with the generous roof height, the interior feels spacious, airy and bright, making spending time in the Larkspur a real pleasure. The wide opening double doors will also allow easy access, for large items of furniture for example, and can be thrown open to make the interior breezy and cool. Many of our customers choose to personalise their summerhouses to suit their style and tastes.
Features
The Larkspur boasts a number of excellent features that make it a summerhouse of real quality. Its 12mm thick tongue and groove walls ensure a sturdy building with an interior that is well weather protected. Tongue and groove cladding gives fantastic protection against the elements and is a real sign of a quality summerhouse. Plus, the Larkspur has a 12mm thick tongue and groove floor and roof, a further indication of its quality when many summerhouses in this price bracket will use cheaper, less robust and uglier alternatives. The use of tongue and groove boards for the roof and floor also seals the inside tightly away from the elements and gives you a floor that can withstand heavy loads. Green mineral roof felt is supplied as standard to provide extra weather resistance plus an added barrier to damp and rot. The building is supported by 44mm x 44mm framing, which gives the building great strength and ensures it will stand up to the test of time. The double doors open wide for easy access and feature a mortise lock and key, meaning you have extra peace of mind when leaving items in your summerhouse overnight. With a 10 year anti-rot guarantee completing the package, you can be certain that you are purchasing a summerhouse that will become a feature of your garden for years to come.
About the Timber
You will be impressed by Shire’s use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber building starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire’s garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from Siberia and Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe’s timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far fewer knots. The timber used on Shire’s products is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.
