Weybourne Summerhouse
This attractive summerhouse is designed to nestle into the corner of a garden and maximise any space.
Simplistic and neat in its design; chic in presentation with its stylish roof overhang, the Weybourne will suit even the smallest of gardens, proving that Summerhouses are not just for large spaces.

Design Your Summerhouse
Our aim at Crane is to help our customers to create a summerhouse that is perfect for their garden in terms of both looks and usability. That is why you can choose the style of window, the roofing material, the cladding type, whether you want double glazing and electrics, and a host of other options to suit your needs, because we make each building to order.
We want you to be inspired to create your own Summerhouse, which you can do by clicking the Create My Summerhouse tab, and if you have any questions in the process, just call us or send us an online enquiry.

Lining & Insulation
Our Weybourne Summerhouses are lined and insulated (in the walls and ceiling) as standard. This makes them a perfect all-season retreat, as it greatly enhances the finished look of the building, increasing comfort and decreasing noise levels. You can choose to have the floor insulated as well, as an extra option.
Insulation
For the roof we have a 4 tier lining and insulation process; we insulate between the ply layer and the internal matchboard tongue and groove lining, and finish the building with your choice of roofing material. For the walls, we insulate your building by trapping a breathable membrane between the studwork, which acts as a moisture trap before filling in with insulation.
Lining
There are then 2 options for lining your Weybourne Summerhouse: natural matchboarding comes as standard, or you can opt for painted matchboarding. To have the walls painted, you can choose our own Ivory interior paint, or choose from a range of eight Farrow & Ball paint colours. There is also the option to have the ceiling painted.
Natural Matchboard Lining
We line with our highest grade tongue and groove matchboarding (15mm) offering a natural, warm feel.
PAINTED MATCHBOARD LINING
We use a channelled, secret-nailed, tongue and groove matchboarding (15mm) with 3 coats of Ivory or Farrow & Ball paint, which achieves a bright, clean and airy look.
YEAR-ROUND USE
Along with having insulation in the walls and ceiling, and natural matchboard lining, if you choose floor insulation and double glazing too, you will be able to use your building in comfort all through the year.
Interior Colours
Inside our Summerhouses you will have natural matchboard lining included as standard, but you can upgrade to painted in either our interior Ivory or in a choice of 8 Farrow & Ball colours.
The Farrow & Ball colours have all been specially chosen to contrast pleasingly with our external paint colours, and will allow you the flexibility to choose a neutral colour, or a shade with a bit more colour to it to really bring the inside of your summerhouse alive.
These colours become particularly special when they are paired with one of our four engineered flooring types.
Pointing & Slipper Satin
Ammonite & Elephant's Breath
Shadow White & Old White
Purbeck Stone & Manor House Gray
Farrow & Ball Shadow with paired with Heritage Oak engineered flooring
Wall & Ceiling Colour Combinations
As well as choosing a paint colour from our selection of interior colours for the walls, you can also choose to have your ceiling painted. You can choose the same colour for the ceiling as the walls, or if you would like to add an extra splash of colour, you can choose a seperate, contrasting colour.
For the Weybourne, these are our favourite Farrow & Ball colour combinations:
Neutral = Walls - Shadow White + Ceiling - Pointing. Engineered flooring suggestions - Shade Oak, Heritage Oak, Dark Oak.
Warm Neutral = Walls - Old White + Ceiling - Pointing or Slipper Satin (depending on the level of contrast you want). Engineered flooring suggestions - Shade Oak or Dark Oak.
Warm Grey = Walls - Elephant's Breath + Ceiling - Slipper Satin. Engineered flooring suggestions - Shade Oak or Heritage Oak.

Floor Options
Our standard (ex 19mm thick) and robust floorboards are set on closely spaced tanalised floor joists, but we can also offer heavy duty (ex 38mm thick) flooring if you are planning on storing particularly heavy items or if there's going to be a lot of movement inside your new Garden Building.
As well as choosing between floorboard thickness, you can also choose to have either a lacquered finish on your floor, or you can add engineered flooring.
Lacquered Floor
Having a lacquered floor is an additional option that can be chosen with our Summerhouses. The lacquer is applied to the floorboards in either Natural or Light Oak to help protect the timber, as well as giving it a nice sheen.
Engineered Flooring
This option can be chosen as an alternative to a lacquered floor. There are four different colours to choose from, and the engineered flooring offers a chance to further personalise your new garden building, whether you’re aiming for a traditional, rustic or contemporary style.
Our engineered floorboards sit on top of the existing floorboards, with a layer of underlay in between the two, providing further insulating and sound absorbing benefits.

Base
All our buildings require a level, solid concrete base of the correct size.
The single most important part of installing a garden building is the base. Bases must be:
- LEVEL
- Of the correct size
- Square i.e. have right angled corners
A concrete base supports your building in the best possible way, adding longevity, as well as creating a substantial distance between your building and surface water.
We can supply a 100mm deep reinforced concrete base ready for your building, laid by our professionals, in advance of your building being installed by us. The site must be clear and reasonably level for us to do this.
The base should always be a minimum of 50mm out of the ground to prevent surface water or puddles affecting your building i.e. rotting it.
The base you have must be made to the plans we give you when you order your building, whether we install the base, or you get a trusted builder to do it for you.
Bases for larger buildings, and in particular garages, need to be built to exact dimensions - we create special base drawings for our garages, since they sit directly on the concrete base and must be anchored into place.
Please note: If you intend to fully or partially surround the building base with hard paving we strongly suggest the installation of a French drain between the paving and base to prevent rain bouncing off the hard surface and driving up under the building, which in turn could cause damp and rot. A French drain is a simple small trench, dug around your building and filled with aggregate that will allow surface water to drain away.
Always get your garden building base laid by a professional, whether that is us, or a local builder you trust.
We constantly strive to ensure all our materials and techniques are the best that we can source and provide. We lead the market in producing exceptional quality timber buildings. Couple this with our personal and bespoke service and you will be totally delighted with your building.
