This picture illustrates some of the detail you'll find on the Georgian window version of the Countryside Pent. The casement stays are clearly visible which peg open the windows at low level. Hooks and eyes are provided to stop the door from blowing about on windy days. Antique style black japanned door hinges are fitted on both doors.

Our standard cladding on The Countryside Pent is 12mm redwood. This is treated with a wash of quality wood preserver both inside and out before it leaves the factory.
This building is also available with 'Pressure treated' or cedar cladding.
Pressure treatment is literally that : all 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 our pressure treated summerhouses their green / yellow hue which complements so many gardens.
Good looks and an extended lifetime are the main benefits of choosing pressure treated construction.
Cedar is well known for its durability, good looks and quality. With its own natural oils, it lasts for many , many years without rotting although we would advise you to treat it with a good quality wood preserver every couple of years to help maintain its good looks.
Our 'cedar' summerhouses contain cedar doors, windows and external cladding and trims. They have preservative treated redwood framing, floors and verandahs ( where fitted ).
Optional brass door handles, hooks, bolts and window casement stays can be added to your Summerhouse for good looks and durability.
The 3 lever lock is supplied with 2 keys.
Our Countryside Pavilion and Countryside Pent ranges of Summerhouses, whether with an Apex roof like the Countryside Pavilion or a Pent roof like the Countryside Pent, can all be fitted with an optional shed partition and door.
In this picture of a 16ft x 8ft Countryside Pavilion (constructed in pressure treated pine) the shed partition (6ft wide in this case) is fitted within the RH side. Countryside Pents would also have the shed section to one side or the other.
Please note that with the shed partition - you will need to add a solid, framed and braced shed door for access. This can be internal or external (as shown). You can also add a shed window to allow light into the shed area.
In this picture of a 16ft x 8ft Countryside Pavilion other options are the pressure treated slatted roof, full length glazed windows, floor bearers, and if you look closely, an internal partition door
Please note that the amount of the building converted to shed use is up to you but is normally 4ft, 6ft or 8ft depending on the overall length of the building. The shed partition is not an extension added to your building, it is part of the original dimensions.
There are 5 window styles available with our summerhouse range.
From L to R these are Plain, Square Lead, Diamond Lead, Georgian, and Full Length Glass.
The exact layout, numbers of windows, and positioning is discussed on the pages relating to each product but for a general overview this is a useful comparison.
