Forsholt 10×8 Pent Summerhouse – Painted Finish
€4,150.00
Description
our garden room. Your sanctuary. Your escape.
Some spaces change everything. A place where morning coffee tastes better, where creative ideas flow freely, where the boundary between indoors and out dissolves into something magical. The Forsholt 10×8 Pent Summerhouse isn’t just a garden building – it’s a transformation of how you live.
Handcrafted by expert joiners in the Earlswood workshop, this is where Forsholt’s timber heritage meets contemporary design. Elegant French doors flood the interior with natural light, whilst the generous roof canopy creates a sheltered threshold – perfect for potted plants, morning stretches, or simply watching Irish weather roll across your garden.
Finished in ‘Unveiled’ – a soft, sophisticated pale pink from our exclusive countryside palette – this summerhouse brings a touch of refined elegance to any garden. The specially formulated woodcoat paint is non-hazardous under EU legislation, durable in all weathers, and beautifully complements Ireland’s natural landscape.

Why This Changes Everything
This is Tier Two in the Forsholt range – where functional storage evolves into lifestyle space. The difference is in the details: those beautiful French doors, the sheltering canopy, the sophisticated painted finish that makes your garden feel curated and intentional.
Imagine a dedicated home office where video calls have a garden backdrop. A yoga studio where morning sun streams through glass. A creative space for painting, writing, or simply thinking. A sophisticated entertaining area for summer drinks with friends. This summerhouse adapts to your life, your rhythms, your dreams.
The extended roof canopy is more than aesthetic – it’s practical magic. It keeps rain off the doors (extending their lifespan), creates a dry threshold for removing muddy boots, and provides shelter for container plants that love bright light but need protection from heavy downpours.
The Countryside Colour Collection
Your Forsholt summerhouse can be painted in any of our six carefully chosen countryside colours:
- Unveiled – Soft, sophisticated pale pink with warm neutral undertones (shown)
- Callan – A lovely, fresh blue reminiscent of Irish coastal skies
- Mussel – Mid-toned chalky blue, elegant and calming
- Schoolroom Green – Classic, heritage green with timeless appeal
- Four Arches – Deep grey verging on anthracite, modern and dramatic
- Wild Raspberry – Bold, beautiful berry tones for confident gardens
Each colour is formulated with a premium woodcoat finish that’s non-hazardous, weather-resistant, and designed to age gracefully in the Irish climate. The paint protects the timber whilst allowing it to breathe – essential for longevity in our damp conditions.
Perfect For:
- Home office – dedicated workspace with natural light, garden views, and separation from household distractions
- Creative studio – painting, crafting, writing, or music practice in inspiring surroundings
- Yoga & wellness retreat – peaceful space for morning practice, meditation, or simply breathing
- Garden entertaining – sophisticated space for drinks, intimate gatherings, or afternoon tea
- Teenage den – give older children their own space (whilst keeping them close)
- Guest accommodation – comfortable overflow space for visiting family (add a daybed and it’s perfect)
- Hobby room – sewing, model-making, reading library, or whatever brings you joy

Garden Notebook: Making It Yours
Styling Your Summerhouse:
The beauty of a painted finish is how easily it integrates with your garden’s personality. Unveiled’s soft pink pairs beautifully with:
- Silver-leaved plants (lavender, artemisia, santolina)
- Soft whites and creams (roses, phlox, cosmos)
- Deep greens and architectural foliage
- Natural stone, gravel, and weathered timber accessories
Inside, consider:
- Layered textiles (rugs, cushions, throws) for warmth and comfort
- Task lighting (battery-powered or mains if pre-wired)
- A small heater for shoulder-season use
- Plants! Bring the garden inside with ferns, trailing ivy, or seasonal cut flowers
- Personal touches – books, artwork, a small sound system
Maintenance:
Your painted finish is durable and weather-resistant, but a little care ensures it stays beautiful:
- Annual wash: Gentle clean with warm soapy water removes dirt and organic matter
- Touch-ups: Keep a small tin of your chosen colour for minor scuffs (we can supply)
- Re-coat: Every 3–5 years, depending on exposure and wear
- Canopy care: Clear leaves and debris from the roof canopy seasonally to prevent water pooling
- Door maintenance: Check hinges and locks annually; a drop of oil keeps everything moving smoothly
