Product: Vantage 300 Traditional Summerhouse

We are very pleased with the quality and "value for money" of the Vantage 300 summer house. We elected to self-build and found the instructions easy to follow, however one should stress it needs two people to erect including finishing the top of the shingle roof. Unlike "IKEA products" none of the components are pre-drilled so correct levelling etc. is essential.We are really pleased with the finished summer house and would recommend Dunster House to others.

Hi Dunster House, I would just like to write and tell you that my Summerhouse is now up and treated. I am thrilled to bits with it. It went together quite easily and looks a nice addition to the garden. Today I went and got some flooring for it to go on the tongue and groove. I now need some furniture in and it is set. I am also suitably impressed with all the dealings I have had with you from the taking of my order, my deposit, my balance, to being updated about delivery and last but not least your delivery man who was lovely. It makes such a difference. I am also impressed to find that you do your deliveries in house and do not farm them out to contractors. That makes such a difference to customers too, especially those with limited time to hang around waiting - like me! Thank you very much for making it such a good experience. Regards, Christine Eynon.

My Dunster House Vantage 300 Summerhouse was delivered on time and all the parts were there. The delivery crew were helpful and courteous. I elected to go for self-assembly and found that the instructions are concise but clear provided you read them carefully. I found that it was possible to assemble the summer house on my own with the occasional assistance from my wife to hold things in place. If you opt to put shingles on the roof they take up a lot of time to cut and fit - but are well worth it as the final effect is excellent. Ensure you weather proof with good quality preservative and varnish and you will have a summerhouse that will look good and will really last.

Product: Vantage 300 Traditional Summerhouse

We are extremely pleased with our Vantage 300 and use it most days. Very impressed with the high quality of the timber finish and how it all fitted together snugly. We did however add a few "tweaks" such as a timber strip around the edge of the roof to hide the sheeting and give added strength and a threaded rod to fix the roof cap. We would recommend this product to friends.

Product: Vantage 300 Traditional Summerhouse

Easy to install, needs two people to complete it, my husband thinks the floor quality could be a bit better otherwise excellent. This looks lovely in our garden and awaiting the warm summer evenings to be able to sit in it and enjoy it. Would recommend this product to friends and family. The shingle is a good extra and well worth spending the little bit extra.

We bought our Vantage 300 in November and when the weather permitted we erected it over the winter. Instructions were easy to follow. The hardest part was the green shingles on the roof but it was well worth the effort for the finished result. We used a threaded rod to fix the roof cap as recommended in a previous review. We also sealed any gaps between the panels. We lined the inside walls and roof with plywood to have a smooth finish. We used cuprinol willow and Farrow and Ball matchstick paint. Luckily we had some spare oak flooring which we were able to put on the floor. We decided not to put the frames on the windows as we like to have the view of our garden unbroken. We are now working on the landscaping. Absolutely delighted with the finished result, it has enhanced the end of our garden and has provided a lovely place to sit.

Product: Vantage 300 Traditional Summerhouse

Well we got delivery of our Vantage 300 and there was a lot of pieces. It took us a week on and off to put it together my husband and I . It was like doing a jigsaw and all the pieces fit perfectly well. We ordered the shingle roof which took 1 1/2 days with help to put on, but well worth it. We didn't put Georgian windows in as liked the clear view better. We opted for the cream paint from Dunster House and it only took 2 coats and was good quality paint. We have painted inside and sealed it and we are thinking of putting insulation in for the winter. Although very cosy with the little heater we have now. The only trouble we have now is prising ourselves out of it, we love it, so do all our friends and family. Thank you for a great product.

Product: Vantage 250 Traditional Summerhouse

Everything arrived early May but due to the great british weather have only just finished as did not want to rush/ruin building our Vantage 250. I would like to say what a fantastic product, Materials very good quality, all arrived nothing broken,We opted for the shingles and the cream paint and after many hours work is now fully weatherproof, even after monsoon rain i expected some leaks! but no water tight. It took two of us to build it and i would say two much for one person on there own, unless very fit, and good at DIY. Instructions were very clear and easy to read. You do need plenty of space as it is bigger than i thought, and putting on the shingles on the roof you will need long ladders and arms to reach the middle! Just finished installing the electrics yesterday and now with sockets and lights working, we can enjoy this marvellous summer house even though summer is nearly over! Finally i would buy from Dunter House again and next years project is a Greenhouse which we will look at what Dunster House has to offer.
