Review of the INSTALLED 8 x 8 Premier Corner Summerhouse

The INSTALLED 8 x 8 Premier Corner Summerhouse is a versatile outdoor structure that seamlessly fits into the categories of Garden Rooms and various subcategories, including Corner Summer Houses and Luxury Summer Houses. This expertly crafted garden room is a valuable addition to any outdoor space, offering an ideal spot for relaxation, work, or play.

Key Features

What truly sets this summerhouse apart is its quality construction and detailed finishing. Here are some standout features:

  1. Premium Materials; made from tongue & groove cladding that provides durability and aesthetic appeal.
  2. Expert Pressure Treatment; enhances its resilience against the elements, ensuring longevity and less maintenance.
  3. Double Doors; access is effortless and adds an open feel, paired with two polycarbonate windows that allow abundant natural light.
  4. 15-Year Guarantee; construction quality is underscored by a robust manufacturer assurance, giving you peace of mind.

Construction Quality

We were particularly impressed with the construction quality, which scored a perfect 5 out of 5 across materials and ease of construction. This summerhouse utilizes 12mm thick wall, roof, and floor boarding, which aligns with the best practices found in over 48% of top-tier garden rooms reviewed. The pressure-treated timber used not only improves the aesthetic but fortifies the structure against rot and decay.

Design Considerations

The dimensions of the summerhouse are practical: measuring 6′ x 11′, it is compact yet spacious enough for various uses—from a home office to an art studio. While the height of 2000mm offers adequate headroom for most activities, the layout is designed to maximise usable space within the structure.

Window and Door Features

The double doors, measured at 1.8m x 0.47m, are wider than average for this size category. They contribute to not only accessibility but also ventilation and light—critically, the summerhouse features two polycarbonate windows that are notably robust. Although polycarbonate is less popular compared to traditional glazing, our analysis suggests it offers excellent impact resistance, making it a commendable choice for outdoor structures.

Market Position

When compared with the market, the INSTALLED 8 x 8 Premier Corner Summerhouse is positioned in the upper tier—ranking in the top 15% among 540 garden room products analyzed, placing it at an impressive position of 434. Its Expert Score is 10% higher than the average among its contemporaries, and with a price tag of approximately £10,162.33, you might find it slightly on the expensive side. However, the added value from premium materials and warranties justifies the investment for many prospective buyers.

Value for Money

While the value for money scored a 4 out of 5, it’s essential to consider what you’re acquiring with this investment. You purchase not just a structure; you acquire a personal retreat or workspace that is durable, stylish, and tailored for the outdoors. If budget is a primary concern, alternatives such as the Shire 10′ x 7′ Double Door Summerhouse could be explored, although they may sacrifice some quality and longevity.

Final Thoughts

The INSTALLED 8 x 8 Premier Corner Summerhouse excels due to its combination of premium materials, inviting design, and practical features, making it a compelling option for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor living experience. You’ll appreciate how its versatile design can adapt to your needs, whether it’s a garden office, a gym, or a tranquil retreat.

In summary, if you are in the market for a garden room that merges functionality with style and quality, this summerhouse is certainly worthy of consideration—you’ll find yourself thoroughly satisfied with your purchase.

Q: What type of locking system does this garden building feature?

A: This garden building comes equipped with a lock and key system. This additional locking feature provides an extra layer of security, ensuring that your valuable items stored within are well-protected. It gives me peace of mind, especially if you’re using it as a storage space or a workshop.

Q: How durable is the floor of this garden building?

A: The floor is constructed using 12mm tongue and groove material, which is known for its strength and durability. This thickness is significant as it can support heavy items without warping, making it ideal if you plan to store tools or heavy gardening equipment. Personally, I appreciate the sturdiness of tongue and groove design as it also helps prevent water ingress.

Q: What are the height dimensions of the building?

A: The eaves height is approximately 6'3” (1890mm) and the ridge height is around 7'1” (2164mm). These heights are favourable as they provide ample headroom, making the space feel more open and comfortable to work or relax in. The higher ridge also contributes to better air circulation, so I find it great for any garden activities.

Q: Can I fit larger items through the doors?

A: Absolutely! The door measures 46 inches wide by 70 inches high (14021mm x 21336mm), which allows for easy access to larger items. This is a standout feature for me, as it makes loading and unloading equipment much more convenient. However, if you have particularly bulky items, always measure them first to ensure they will fit.

Q: What type of windows are included?

A: The garden building features double glazed safety toughened windows. While the precise measurements are not specified, the double glazing is excellent for insulation and security, which is crucial in the UK’s varied climate. The toughened aspect also adds to safety, particularly if there are children around. I really value this feature as it enhances both comfort and security.

Q: What materials are used for the roof, and are they durable?

A: The roof is also made from 12mm tongue and groove materials. This construction is beneficial as it is designed to withstand the elements, providing good resistance against rain and snow. The apex roof style not only looks appealing but also allows for better water runoff. I find roofing that combines aesthetics and functionality to be particularly advantageous.

Q: Is the overall design practical for everyday use?

A: Yes, the dimensions including the depth of 5'10" (70") and the floor space provided by the width of 7ft (84") make it versatile for various uses, from a garden shed to a personal workspace. The combination of height and usability makes it easy for anyone to stay organised, and I believe it could easily adapt to changing needs, which is a significant plus.
