10×8 Shire Highclere Contemporary Wooden Summer House
Overview
The 10×8 Shire Highclere Contemporary Wooden Summer House is a quality wooden summer house with a contemporary look.

Key Features
- 10ft x 8ft footprint
- Quality timber construction
- Apex roof
- Single door entry

Roof Types
The Highclere is finished with an apex roof, giving a traditional pitched profile that sheds rain efficiently and adds extra headroom towards the centre of the building compared with a flat or pent design. This makes the most of the 10ft x 8ft floor area, keeping the space feeling open rather than cramped.
Dimensions
- 10ft x 8ft footprint
- The smaller of the two Highclere sizes, suited to more compact gardens
- Please allow ±1mm on cladding and ±5mm on framing (nominal measurements before machining)
Construction
Built on a heavy-duty frame with quality cladding, this summer house is designed for year-round use. Floor and roof are constructed from quality timber to complement the walls, giving a solid, contemporary-styled garden building at a size that suits most gardens. The 10ft x 8ft floor plan is large enough for a small sofa or a desk and chair, while still fitting comfortably into an average-sized garden without dominating the space.
Treatment & Guarantee
Supplied dip-treated. Re-treat within 6 weeks of assembly and annually thereafter with a quality exterior wood preservative to maintain the finish and protect the timber.
Doors & Windows / Security
Entry is via a single door. Windows allow natural light to fill the interior and can be opened for ventilation. All glazing uses toughened safety glass, so the building stays bright and secure whatever it’s used for, from a quiet reading room to a compact home office.
