The optional bench seat is fitted.
This building is not just a stunning feature which will enhance any garden, but it's also incredibly well built !
Open sided buildings have to withstand the vagaries of the British weather so they need to be constructed with that in mind. Please check the other photos in this gallery to see the bracing and strengthening features.
This is the middle -size in the range, 8ft x 8ft, and it's finished in one of the dozen countryside colours we offer.
The roof is completed using Canadian western red cedar shingles which are well known for their beauty, longevity and quality.
The radially decked floor is constructed in pressure treated timber to ensure long life and good looks.
OK. An ogee arch. Hands up who knew this was the name for an arch of this type ?
It's an extremely attractive architectural feature used in many parts of the world ... and now in your Malvern Ribbesford !
The Ribbesford is a heavyweight structure, designed to be robust regardless of the weather. The joist arrangement prevents twisting and spreading to ensure a long and trouble free life for the building.
Pressure treated decking laid radially makes a solid and attractive floor for the Ribbesford.
The 3 rear facets of the Ribbesford are diagonally braced to provide strength and help avoid the structure from twisting.
The long-life cedar cladding is painted, inside and out, to a colour of your choice from our collection of countryside shades.
The optional bench seat is shown here: cushions are available as a further option.
Canadian western red cedar is acknowledged to be one of the most durable outdoor timbers available. In time it will fade to a silver colour if you don't re-treat it, but it contains its own natural oils which protect it from rot so re-treatment isn't strictly necessary.
We soak the shingles with a quality wood preserver in any case, prior to delivery.

All of our Malvern Cottage Summerhouses will be delivered and installed by our skilled team of fitters - ensuring that your summerhouse arrives in perfect condition and it is assembled to the highest standard.
Please be aware that you will need to provide a good, strong and level base constructed from either slabs or concrete. This will need to be completed prior to our delivery date, ensuring that it is set and strong enough for the building to sit on. We will always confirm these details with you when you order and we will provide you with base plans (if required) so that no detail is left out. These measures ensure that your summerhouse will be both delivered and installed without any inconvenience.
As with all of our garden buildings, we like to provide our customers with a suitable delivery time. We always give good notice of our arrival date, allowing you to be sure it is the right time for you. We always appreciate any helpful information regarding access to your pre-prepared base area and any details you may need to share with us about reaching you - so that the delivery process can run as smoothly as possible.
Our delivery times can vary from season to season, but typically you should expect to receive your building around 4-6 weeks from point of order. All of our buildings are made to order, so during the busy spring to summer seasons this may increase to 6-10 weeks, dependent on the building that you have purchased. Please feel free to contact us on 0800 999 0123 to check our current delivery times.
