FAQs for Summer Houses
- Can you build your own summerhouse?Putting together the smaller buildings is quite straightforward, especially if you have a helping hand to shift the panels as you fasten them in place.
Still, take your time and make sure every step is done right, especially when it comes to the roof and felting. A small mistake could let water sneak in and ruin your belongings, which is the last thing you want.
Luckily, 1st Choice offers free installation as part of the package. This not only saves you the heavy lifting but also ensures your summer building is expertly assembled to stand the test of time.
However, as standard, 1st Choice includes free installation of the summer building, including roof felting. This saves you a lot of hard work and ensures the building is correctly constructed and protected from the weather, helping it last a long time.
