3 Page 3 why choose garden hideouts? Garden Hideouts evolved quite naturally from our experience as a company building award-winning canal boats. We realised that making the most of small spaces and creating a product that stands up to the elements beautifully was our speciality. So we decided to apply exactly the same principles to commissioning our Shepherd Huts and Garden Pods. There is an insistence on the finest materials built onto a super-strength structure that will keep its looks for years to come. We combine modern technology, such as CNC cutting, with traditional crafts such as joinery and iron casting, to fashion a room that is steeped in tradition yet meets all the expectations of a contemporary lifestyle. And above all, we are committed to customer service. All our years of experience building boats to customer s requirements is applied to our garden hideouts. Our standard model has been carefully designed to meet a wide range of needs, but can be easily tailored to your own requirements through a whole range of optional features. Our models aren t the cheapest you can buy, but that s for a good reason. The materials, the fit and finish, the durability and the clever thinking that goes into every Shepherd Hut and Garden Pod make them a product apart a lasting and brilliantly creative addition to your garden and your home.

4 Page 4 Specification Frame The frame is made of high-grade structural plywood, precision-cut on CNC equipment. The method of construction is one commonly used in Canadian house construction, ensuring a rigid and robust structure which is also environmentally friendly. Chassis The chassis is made of steel with a combination of longitudinal beams and transverse ribs, which means that the Chatsworth is built to stand up to the rigours of transportation. There is also a turntable at the front of the chassis for easy manoeuvring. Wheels Our bespoke Garden Hideout wheels are cast in traditional foundries in the Black Country. Exterior finish and roof The exterior is clad in traditional wriggly tin coated in plastisol a very thick rubbery type of coating which is corrosion proof and rust free with the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Once the contract is signed we ask for a further payment to take your total paid to 20% of the total cost. From then on we only take payments once work is completed. Once the framing and lining is completed we require another 60%. The final 20% is paid on handover. Delivery Once your build commences, the average time for the whole build process is 4-5 weeks. Obviously the cost of delivery depends on your location in the UK and the nature of the site. Part of the service is a free site survey in which we assess the area and give you a fixed price for placing your Shepherd Hut in the chosen spot in your garden. outdoor living spaces
