8 x 8 Chelsea Corner Summer House – Our first impressions
This delightful building has a wonderful amount of light and warmth due to the styrene windows in the sides. These add light overall, and are a very useful feature of the 8’ x 8’ corner summerhouse. 12 mm interlocking tongue and groove cladding brings a lot of stability and strength to the building, so that you have protection against the elements and wear and tear in general. A tough lever sash lock also protects the door, so you get plenty of security too. If you haven’t the space for a regular shaped summer house but do have a spare corner in your garden then the Chelsea Summer House could be the summer house that you have been searching for. Whether used as an outdoor dining area or a studio, the large windows will provide a wonderful view out into the garden all year round.
