Product: Leviathan Open Chunky Gazebo

Following delivery of this gazebo I would thoroughly recommend this as it is an excellent high quality feature to our lovely garden. Instructions were easy to follow, it was a two man job and was easily constructed. Following completion the roof was finished off with green shingle felt and it now looks great.

Product: Vantage 350 Traditional Summerhouse

A fantastic product, it looks great and gives us a new aspect to our garden. Ideal for enjoying our outside space in all weathers. My advice would be to buy as large a building as you can, make sure the base is completely level and that there is enough space all around the proposed site for erection. My building was erected well within a day by a great three man team. A very contented customer.

Mark Fearon

Product: Valiant 350 Modern Summerhouse

This summerhouse comes in a waterproof palleted package and there are a lot of pieces.it takes a lot more than 2 days to erect.i was dissappointed that the wall panel didn't come in bigger sections.the smaller sections are bowed and don't have a complete tongue and groove joint ,so the finish can be uneven in places.you may have to glue or put more supports in to fix to.i was also dissappointed that there was no preservative coat at all,so I had to protect with tarpaulins until erected and painted.i decided not to fit the Georgian bars as I prefered it without. I am pleased with how the summerhouse has finished.have insulated floor,fitted underlay and carpet and added furniture.

Bryan Duggan

Product: Vantage 300 Traditional Summerhouse

The price/ quality combination is unbeatable for this product. It is generally well made and very well designed.We used their very expensive erection service but were quite glad we did when we saw how long it took two professionals to put it together! The erection team were absolutely first-class - very polite and particularly helpful. I got the impression that they were proud of their workmanship and would not leave until we were satisfied. They also gave some invaluable advice about after-care of the product. All dealings with the various people at Dunster House revealed a very professional operation. Now some negatives - 1.the contract documentation is a bit over the top, although it certainly covers every conceivable possible thing that could go wrong in the transaction! 2. The Rapid Grid was a nightmare. We had it laid by a contractor who will be doing the surrounding patio. When he left it was 100% perfect and level. Two weeks later, after some very hot weather, the grid had lifted, possibly because of expansion and contraction of the plastic. I spent an entire day trying to get it back down. this is not easy because once filled with shingle the whole point is that it will not go down! Eventually I had it level again well within the allowable tolerance but by the time the erection crew came it was once more out at the edges. It was still within tolerance though so the crew fitted packing pieces under the frame. There were no instruction on how to lay the grid. I asked Dunster House technical for help because there were not quite enough grid pieces to lay it as a rectangle and have the recommended overlap all round. They said just lay it as rectangle and there are enough - well there were but not laid as a rectangle. in practice it was just OK because the bits where the overlap was minimal took little load.Had we known we would have laid one extra grid square at those two points. 3.The Georgian window bars are very pretty but are hell on earth to fit. They were almost all slightly oversized and most had obviously already been shortened post-manufacture as there were scorch marks from the power sander used. They have to be painted before fitting and they swell with water based paint so had to be shortened again! I would strongly advise only screwing them to the windows rather than nailing as there is a gap between the rails and the glass which will in time get dirty and spoil the interior view. The information provided says that they do fit flush but by the they don't. In any case it is essential to seal the glass with silicone sealant so this bead stops the flush fit if nothing else does. Be very careful fitting them too - use only short screws to avoid hitting the glass an breaking it (useful tip from the erection crew!) Overall - It is a lovely product and worth the time and effort to get it right. I have panelled it inside with similar slow grown spruce to give it an even more luxurious look - so go ahead and buy it, you will not be sorry!

Product: Vantage 250 Traditional Summerhouse

Hi thank you Dunster house, the product and delivery were spot on and as described if not better. the customer service from start to finish were of the best I have ever experienced when buying items like this, they even managed to get the delivery around my desired time and availability. On the day of delivery I was able to track my summer house via the computer all the way up the country till it arrived at my door! simply excellent. The summer house is amazing and I cant put into words how good the quality is as simply outstanding. the instructions were clear and easy to follow, it took me one full day to fully erect by myself then another day to do the shingle roof. I am so happy I chose this over other competitor summer houses, this truly is our own little get away space in the garden, thanks again Dunster House your products are the best on the market. see picture of the finished product.
