Countryside Octagonal Summer House

7ft7 x 7ft7 Pressure Treated Countryside Octagonal

The 7ft7 x 7ft 7 Countryside Octagonal is a recent addition to the range and has proven to be one of our most popular sizes.

The windows in this example are the standard full length toughened safety glass used throughout the Pressure Treated Countryside Octagonal range. There's a top opening light on each side and the roof has the optional overlap pressure treated sections which are laid over an inner felt lining.

6ft x 6ft Redwood Countryside Octagonal - Low Height

We get a number of occasions where customers require their buildings to be under 2.5m in height : three of the Countryside Octagonal models in our range can be constructed to achieve that: the 6 x 6 is pictured here in its basic format, the 8'5" x 6, and 7 x 7 can also be produced in a low height version.

Apart from the obvious difference of the height, you'll see that the fascia boards are wider too.

Countryside Octagonal 6 x 6 - Glass all round

Here's an attractive option if you have views all round the garden... normally the Countryside Octagonal has solid panels at the back but for a small charge the toughened safety glass sections can be extended all the way around the building giving light from all directions and allowing a view right through the building.

Internal eaves detail.. pressure treated models

I've included this picture because it illustrates the fact that it isn't just the exterior cladding that is pressure treated when you choose a pressure treated Countryside Octagonal; it is the framework as well. You can also see enough of the internal roof boarding to tell that it is constructed from proper timber rather than from chipboard, an essential feature when looking for a building that will stand the test of time.

Pressure treated construction

Pressure treatment is literally that, all timber components of the building are placed in a large pressurised cylinder which forces the preservative deep into the timber. The formulation of the preservative gives the pressure treated gazebos their green / yellow hue which complements so many gardens. Good looks and an extended lifetime are the main benefits of choosing pressure treated construction for your Countryside Octagonal.

Pressure treated overlap roof

The overlap pressure treated roof is an optional feature and is laid on top of roofing felt to ensure that the roof lasts for many years and remains totally weatherproof even in the worst conditions.

Bitumen Felt Roof

Unless you specify otherwise your Countryside Octagonal will arrive with a mineralised bitumen felt roof in either green or red ( as pictured on this 8'5" x 6' Countryside Octagonal roof ).

Optional upgrades are to a cedar overlap roof or to cedar shingle roof tiles.

Cedar Overlap Roof

This is a good illustration of the cedar overlap roof available for the Countryside Octagonal range. It is laid over the felt roof so that you have double protection against the weather. The life of the felt is also considerably extended. The main benefit is, of course, sheer good looks !

Illustrated here on a 10ft x 10ft Countryside Octagonal roof.

Cedar Shingle Roof

This roof is finished with Canadian cedar shingles which are available to special order only. They are laid over the standard felt roof.

Canadian Western Red Cedar shingles are extremely good looking and will last for many, many years.

Cedar has its own natural oils which defend it against rot and therefore makes an ideal choice for the top of the building which is relatively inaccessible for maintenance.

Diamond Leadwork

Two patterns of leadwork are available as optional features on your Countryside Octagonal... square or diamond.

This picture is of the corner of a 10ft x 10ft Countryside Octagonal constructed with cedar cladding and cedar doors and windows. The leadwork is fixed to the outside of the glass. Toughened safety glass is a standard feature of Countryside Octagonal leaded windows.

Square Leadwork

Two patterns of leadwork are available as optional features on your Countryside Octagonal... square or diamond.

This picture is of the corner of a 8ft5in x 6ft Countryside Octagonal constructed in redwood. The leadwork is fixed to the outside of the glass.

Toughened safety glass is a standard feature of Countryside Octagonal leaded windows.

Countryside Octagonal Georgian Window

Georgian windows for Countryside Octagonal offer ventilation at low level since they can be pegged open using the fitted casement stay. The Georgian windows and doors are joinery made and are of excellent quality.

The picture shows the windows inside an 8ft x 8ft Countryside Octagonal.

All of our Countryside Octagonals have toughened safety glass included as a standard feature.

Countryside Octagonal Leaded Window

Leaded window Countryside Octagonals have two top hung fanlights included as standard giving a good throughput of air to ventilate the building. Toughened safety glass is a standard feature of all leaded window Countryside Octagonals .

Locks and Handles
