Upgrade your garden with a Tiger Elite Pressure Treated Escape – the ultimate summerhouse. This product is a superb low maintenance building with the very best fittings available throughout. The beautiful summerhouse is built for strength with its extra thick finish shiplap cladding and heavy duty framing. A fully braced ‘mortice and tenoned’ heavy duty door comes supplied with antique handles, antique hinges, and a three lever security lock. The roof overhang, complete with decorative wings adds distinction to a classic summerhouse design. Georgian doors and windows provide excellent light to make this a delightful garden hideaway perfect for whiling away a lazy summer afternoon.
The most significant feature of the Tiger Elite Pressure Treated Apex is its Tanalised timber protection. Extra thick shiplap cladding, double thickness heavy duty framing, and all other timber components benefit from this hard wearing pressure impregnated timber protection. This treatment means the timber is guaranteed against rot and decay for 15 years making it an ideal outdoor building durable enough to stand the test of time.
BEWARE OF CHEAP IMITATION BUILDINGS:
Unlike many budget competitor products this building is built with only the highest quality materials and many garden buildings in the market simply cannot compare!
THIS building is clad with high grade pressure treated16mm finish shiplap tongue and groove cladding – beware of buildings that feature poorly finished rough edged boards milled out of inferior timber often with a thinner finish.
THIS building features double heavyweight pressure treated 58x44mm finish framework throughout giving it the strength to last – beware of buildings that use rough sawn ‘matchstick thin’ framework that barely hold the building together.
THIS building features thick tongue and grooved floorboard in the floor and roof sections and contains NO cheap sheet materials such as OSB or chipboard – beware of buildings that use single piece OSB / chipboard roofs that offer little protection in the areas where you need it most.
THIS building retains our extra high ridge height – beware of buildings that are incredibly low making it difficult to stand up inside.
It is essential that this building is assembled strictly in accordance with the instructions supplied on a firm and level base constructed from a suitably durable material. It should also be treated annually with an appropriate high quality preservative and all glazing units must be sealed, inside and out, with silicone or other water tight sealant.
For more information on how to correctly assemble and maintain your garden building please consult our comprehensive help centre.

I'm very pleased with the product and service. The summer house is top quality and good value. As a professional landscaper I've erected many out door buildings and this was a delight. I am impressed with the way this company runs itself, the communication is good and I was given a two hour time slot (rather than the 8 till 6 that other companies seem to offer). This meant that i didn't have to wait around all day which in itself has a high value. I recommend this company and will use again.

Overall I feel this product does represent good value. I looked at many different sheds and summerhouses before deciding on this one. You do get a lot of timber for your money with this one. It is very sturdy and less than a quarter of the price of some summerhouses this size . It did need a little bit of finishing, all within the capabilities of any DIYer. I added a couple of bits of 44x44mm timber to the front of the roof to make a tidier finish to the roof felt and so that the barge boards fitted better. The door was a bit tight at the bottom and I think you really do need to fit the glass in with some beading, to improve the appearance. As with any garden building it does need painting. Previous comments refer to water getting in through knot holes. I used a golf ball sized piece of wood filler to fix that on mine so not a big problem. It is important to recognise that tanalised timber will absorb water. I put three coats of Sadolin classic mahogany on the outside and one coat of clear on the inside. (It is easier to paint the underside of the roof before its erected). After the weather during August and September this year I can say with certainty that it is now fully waterproof.

I have bought lots of Tiger Sheds over the years and now always but the tanalised versions. They are excellent quality and properly joiner-made which makes a big difference. We had a problem with broken glass for the windows on delivery but Tiger quickly sorted out replacements without any fuss. For the price you simply cannot beat these so I would definitely recommend them.

An excellent purchase. The materials and pre-built sections are to a good standard. The panels are strongly made. It does take two to move into position and build. Delivery was on time and driver very helpful. The summerhouse was easy to erect in less than 3 hours for the 8' x 10' self build and looks great. We are very glad we choose the tanalised wood and the glass option. Well done to all involved. Highly recommended.

We are very happy with our purchase it is strongly made and looks very good in our garden. We were very glad we took advantage of the probuild option. The construction team was most efficient and did an excellent job in a remarkably short time.

We are extremely happy with our recently purchased Elite Summerhouse - it went together like a dream and fits perfectly into our garden. It must be the best engineered shed on the market, the tanalised timbers make the shed the best looking summer house Ive seen. Pass on my thanks to your driver, how he managed to carry the various parts I cant guess, perhaps he should enter Britains strongest man competition. I hate to do this sentence you know the one but Sadly only one thing spoils the overall effect the felt roof, I know its pricey but shingle would look 100 times better and should be included as an option?

Really pleased with my purchase, i'm glad I spent the extra money and went with this pressure treated model its very sturdy and well made throughout. Im no DIY expert but the building was fairly straight-forward to put up- went up in about 2 hours, so no complaints there. Definitely recommend this product to anyone thinking of a summerhouse and I didn't have to wait too long for delivery as it arrived last Friday and I only ordered on the Monday. Thanks.

DELIVERING RESPONSIBLY THROUGH THE LOCKDOWN PERIOD AND BEYOND: We have reorganised our operational processes, which include moving to separate shifts in our operational departments so that our teams are spaced out safely, and changing delivery registrations so that there will not be a requirement for your signature or close contact. We are working hard to maintain a safe and hygienic environment as your building is built and delivered. We would ask for your patience, as it may take longer than normal to deliver your building, but we hope you will understand in the current circumstances. After all, with our exclusive Tiger 20 Year Guarantee the wait will be worth it – we promise!

We will keep you regularly updated with the status of any order you place. What we can say is that we believe we make the best value buildings in the UK, with very strong ratings and reviews from customers, and that we have a lot of customers who come back to order again (and again), so while there may be a bit of an extra wait, we're sure you'll feel it will have been worth it.
