Choosing the Perfect Summerhouse Retailer: Key Points to Consider Part 1

Published by Charlotte O'Donnell on 18th Oct 2023

Welcome to our blog, where we will help you navigate the process of selecting the right summerhouse retailer. With so many options out there, it's important to make an informed decision. We understand your desire for a beautiful and functional summerhouse, and in this article, we will discuss the key points you should consider when choosing the retailer that suits your needs.

1. Extensive Product Range:

A reputable summerhouse retailer should offer a wide variety of styles, sizes, and materials to choose from. Look for a retailer that caters to different preferences and budgets, ensuring you can find the perfect summerhouse that aligns with your unique vision.  We have over 250 standard models and also can offer unlimited Bespoke Customer Designs to suit your requirements.

2. High-Quality Craftsmanship:

Quality and durability should be among your top considerations. Pay attention to the materials used in construction, as they directly impact the longevity of your summerhouse. Look for a retailer that sources their materials from trusted suppliers, ensuring that your investment will withstand the test of time. All of our products have been extensively tested and produced from manufacturers we have worked with for many years and who sell around 30+k of buildings per year across Europe which means that they have a proven track record.

                                                          

3. Customer Reviews and Reputation:

Before making a purchase, it's crucial to gather feedback from previous customers. Check independent review platforms and the retailer's website to get a sense of their reputation. Take into account the experiences shared by others and evaluate the overall satisfaction of the customers. Opt for a retailer with positive reviews and a track record of excellent customer service.  We have sold thousands of buildings over the last 13 years and have amazing reviews from delighted customers.  Our guarantee is that we will always ensure anything is sorted and our customers are happy.


4. Expertise and Knowledge:

Choosing a retailer with experienced and knowledgeable staff can make a significant difference in your summerhouse buying experience. Seek out retailers who employ experts capable of guiding you through the selection process, from choosing the right design to offering advice on functionality and maintenance. Their expertise will ensure that your summerhouse perfectly fits your needs and requirements.  Cabins Unlimited employ their own fitters and installers  and our customers service and operations team are experienced in handling our products.  Our managers have all worked for the business for many years and are all able to give advice and help if you need it.

5. Delivery and Installation Services:

Consider the retailer's delivery and installation services. Check their delivery timescales and any additional costs involved to ensure a smooth process. A reputable retailer will offer professional installation, ensuring that your summerhouse is correctly assembled for you to enjoy. This saves you time and eliminates the stress of having to do it yourself.  Cabins Unlimited employ their own installation team which means that unlike other companies we do not pass installations to third party fitting companies who are often not checked and have no come back to the company who sells you the building.

5. Display Sites:

Often internet only Summerhouse Suppliers are simply selling a picture.  They often do not have their own fitting team and have not had any training or knowledge on the installation of the building.  They occasionally may be cheaper but they have not had to invest in a display site, people to manage the office and customers and other costs in running a business where customers can touch and feel the products.  Internet only businesses often cannot help you with any technical advice as they simply have not learnt the information and will only be able to sell you the features and benefits and not how to fit the building and avoid issues.  Its definitely worth finding suppliers who have a display site and do not be fooled by a slick looking website that could be being run from a bedroom.  Many websites are still running with outdated pricing, or may have already shut down so finding a supplier with a display site and actual people where you can go to discuss not only your requirements but issues should they arise is always advised. 

Cabins Unlimited have 3 display sites across Norfolk although we do install and supply across the whole of the UK. You can check out our locations here: https://www.cabinsunlimited.co.uk/contact-us/

Choosing the perfect summerhouse retailer requires careful consideration of several key points. From a wide product range to high-quality craftsmanship, positive customer reviews, knowledgeable staff, and reliable delivery and installation services and possibly the most important those who have a credible display site, these factors will contribute to a satisfying and successful purchase. Remember to take your time, do thorough research, and select a retailer that meets your expectations. We hope this guide helps you find the summerhouse of your dreams!

Happy summerhouse shopping!
