The durability depends on several factors, including the quality of materials used, the level of maintenance, and exposure to environmental elements. Proper care and regular maintenance can extend its lifespan, while harsh weather conditions and neglect may shorten it. Ensuring that the structure is well-built and using high-quality materials can also contribute to its longevity. Regular inspections and prompt repairs as needed will help to prolong the life of your summer room. Pressure-treated timber is also a good option to choose.

Should I View Before Buying?

When considering a purchase, it is advisable to view the product beforehand, as it allows for a firsthand evaluation of its condition and suitability. Viewing the item can provide valuable insights into its quality, features, and overall appearance, which may not be fully evident through online descriptions or images. This can help in making an informed decision and potentially prevent any future dissatisfaction with the purchase. Therefore, viewing the product before buying is a prudent step to take to ensure a satisfactory outcome. Our showrooms are open seven days a week, and we have over 60 buildings on display.

Choosing A 7ft x 7ft Summer House From 1st Choice Leisure

When choosing a summer building, you need to ensure it will have the strength to last. Here’s a quick Quality Checklist to help you:

**Timber Type:** Opt for redwood over the cheaper, inferior whitewood.

**Framing:** Check for a sturdy thickness that guarantees durability.

*Joinery Grade:** Ensure the doors and windows are joinery-made for long-lasting use.

Each 1st Choice Leisure Buildings summerhouse is built with joinery-made doors and windows, ensuring lasting quality and durability. Additionally, toughened glass is used as standard to enhance safety and reliability, unlike the cheap alternatives that can collapse after a single harsh winter. This commitment to using premium materials sets us apart, reassuring you of the longevity and safety of your summerhouse.

Free Installation Included As Standard On All Diamond & Platinum Buildings.

On many of the buildings available on the web, you will find that they will deliver them to your house and leave them for you to build. You can save a little money this way, but you must assemble it yourself. That’s OK if you are a good DIYer, but it will still be hard work.

The best option is to take advantage of 1st Choice’s FREE assembly option on the Diamond and Platinum buildings. They will do all the hard work – all you need to do is build a level base for it to go onto. And they can arrange that for you if you wish.

This way, you can be sure your new building will be built correctly, and all you need to do is enjoy it.

This 7×7 Summerhouse Can Be Bespokely Made Just For You

We have a wide range of summerhouse sizes and styles for you to choose from. However, we specialise in making buildings to suit your needs. Whether you need a taller summerhouse, extra or fewer windows, or doors and windows moved, we can do that for you.

Ensure you buy the building that suits you and your family without compromise. Call us on (01483) 237550 or visit our showroom to discuss your needs. We are happy to provide a quote that suits you without pressure.

Insulating My Summer Building

To make the most of your new 7×7 building, it’s a good idea to have it lined and insulated for year-round use. Doing so will keep the building cooler in summer and warmer in winter. It’s possible to do this yourself if you feel confident.

For non-Platinum models, insulation can be arranged through our services, allowing you to compare options effectively and choose what’s best for your needs.

However, there is an option to do this for you on all the Platinum buildings. It can be seen as a luxury, but you will be glad you did on those hot summer days or cold winter days.

One satisfied customer said, “Thanks to the insulation, our summerhouse remains a cosy retreat in the winter and a refreshing escape in the summer.” Just contact us, and we will arrange a free quote for you.

You will then be able to decide what you want to buy. We have a large collection of wooden buildings that you are welcome to view in person or virtually.

We will be delighted to show you the different buildings and answer any queries you may have. We can also provide quotations.
