Excellent Gazebo but its not for the faint hearted this! Gazebo arrived safely all in individual bits which you have to put together which takes several hours (2 men - 1 day). It definately needs two people to erect it safely. Its very well made, the instructions are very good and the construction quality is absolutely superb but its all down to how well you put it together which needs some good practical skill & tools (preferably power tools). I chose the individual shingle felt tiles for the roof, they look fantastic and are excellent quality (30 years life) but to do the pyramid roof properly takes several hours again (2 men - 1 day). So thats lots of hours! The tiles come with rubbish instructions so read mine : gauge the correct number of tiles to use each side without running out! Peel off the sticky plastic undersheets before tacking onto roof in a constant over lapping style and use longer 4-6 inch screws for the roof struts. The heat of the sun should stick them all together!

My summerhouse was delivered, erected and painted on the only dry day in December! Talk about timing! I love it and can't wait for the weather to get warmer so that I can kit it out with some comfy chairs, rug, coffee table, snack cupboard, put pictures and a clock up on the walls and turn it into a super-pad for the grandkids. It's got a name already .... The Tardis! The Vantage 250 is very well made and despite living in a very exposed position, it hasn't moved even slightly during the storms! Hmmm, I might just move in there myself! No photos sadly as I wouldn't know the first thing about uploading them, but it looks just like it does in the catalogue, minus the flowers of course at the moment! I wholeheartedly recommend the Vantage 250.

A lovely climbing frame and good quality. Erecting is not hard but took a long time (2 men a whole day) and the roof is difficult to work out but was worth it.
