The Barton
The Barton is the Georgian style Summerhouse that you can sit & relax in for hours on end.
Floor
Most buildings will come with (Ex15mm) 12mm finished tongue & groove matching on 47mm x 47mm pressure treated floor joists with an option to upgrade to a Heavy-duty moisture resistant 18mm V313 Caberboard flooring. All buildings over 8’ in each direction e.g., 8’ x 8’ but not 9’ x 7’ are upgraded as standard.
Roof
All buildings come with an (Ex 15mm) 12mm finished tongue & groove matching on 47mm x 47mm & 47mm x 22mm roof purlins, although some larger buildings will have these bearers upgraded where necessary. There is a 0.38m (15”) roof canopy over the front of the building as standard on the Barton. A Heavy-Duty Polyester based roofing felt is used as standard on all buildings. On all the buildings there is a ventilation gap along the back of the roof. Apart from on the Pent style, there is the option to upgrade the felt-to-felt tiles or Cedar Shingles.
Walls
All buildings have (Ex15mm)12mm finished tongue & groove shiplap fixed to 47mm x 47mm & 47mm x 22mm finished framework. We also offer an (Ex19mm) 15mm finished Tongue & groove loglap upgrade on these buildings.
Doors
The Barton has a pair of doors 0.6m (24”) wide by 1.76m (70”) tall that have 6 panes of toughened glass in each door. The doors open to give a 4’ opening. They are hung on black Antique style hinges and come with a 5-lever lock & black Antique style handle.
Windows
The Barton has fixed windows alongside the doors in the front & an opening sash in each side panel. The number of windows depends upon the size of the building. All the glass that we use is 3mm toughened for safety.
Veranda
A 2’, 3’ or 4’ Veranda can be added to the Barton as an optional extra. The 2’ Veranda has an open front whilst the 3’ & 4’ Verandas have spindles across to the doors on the front.
Heights
The Pent Barton has a generous internal eaves height of 1.82m (6’) rising to an internal ridge height of 2.06m (81”).
The Barton also has an internal eaves height of 1.82m (6’) rising to an internal ridge height of
2.06m (81”) on 7’ & 8’ Gable ends
2.13m (84”) on 9’ Gable ends
2.18m (86”) on 10’ & 11’ Gable ends

Extra height can be added to the building as an upgrade. Please add an extra 7” on to these heights for the external dimension.
The buildings comply with the 2.5m maximum height restriction imposed when erecting a building under Permitted Development.
Treatment
The buildings are treated both internally & externally with a spirit-based preservative that helps to protect the timber from fungi, woodworm & blue stain. We do recommend that buildings are retreated within 3 months, unless painted and then every year for continuous protection.
All the buildings can be upgraded to a painted finish.
