Direct from the Manufacturer or Supplier

Whether you’re in the market for a summerhouse, a log cabin, or any other garden building, one crucial decision you’ll face is buying from a manufacturer or a supplier. Buying garden buildings direct from the manufacturer often means greater customisation and a more personal relationship with the company. On the other hand, suppliers might offer a wider variety of options and faster delivery times – but why, in most cases pay more, when you don’t have to? Below, we break down the pros and cons to help you make the best choice for your needs.


Buying Direct from a Manufacturer

Purchasing garden buildings directly from the manufacturer offers several distinct advantages. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Quality Assurance: When you buy garden buildings directly, you can be confident in the quality of the product. At Dunster House, our rigorous manufacturing processes and high-quality materials ensure that each garden building is crafted with care and precision.
  • Look for Guarantees – being confident in our products, we can offer a 10-year pressure treatment guarantee.
  • As a manufacturer, we can control all of our processes end-to-end
  • Competitive Pricing: Without middlemen and retailers, buying garden buildings directly means you avoid unnecessary markups. Dunster House offers competitive prices, providing excellent value for your investment.
  • Customisation Options: Buying directly from the manufacturer allows you to personalise your garden building to meet your specific needs. At Dunster House, we offer a range of customisation options, ensuring your garden building is tailored to your preferences.

Buying from a Supplier

Choosing to buy from a supplier is another viable option. Here are some potential drawbacks:

  1. Limited Customisation: Customisation options may be more restricted when buying from a supplier compared to buying garden buildings directly from the manufacturer.
  2. Potential Markups: Suppliers may include additional markups, making the products more expensive than buying direct – why pay more for the same product?
  3. Limited After-Sales Support: Suppliers might offer limited after-sales support. However, some reputable suppliers ensure comprehensive customer care.
  4. Outsourcing deliveries: Can all suppliers say they own their own fleet? If they don’t they may use subhaulers or other 3-rd party services which could lead to delays in receiving your deliveries or generally a lesser service.
