Description

The Shire Balsam Arbour is an attractive bench-seated arbour featuring a gothic style roof, enclosed rear and side panels. The structure is freestanding but can also be placed against a wall or fence if chosen.

The main panels and roof of the arbour are made from tongue and groove boards on a 34x34mm framing for added strength. Full instructions will be supplied upon delivery, along with all the fixtures and fittings needed to install the arbour.

Delivery

Overview

The Shire Balsam Arbour is delivered from central UK stocks by the manufacturer. Shire's own experienced personnel undertake delivery to ensure your goods arrive in a perfect condition.

Vehicle

Shire operate mostly small, flat-bed trucks. If a dustbin lorry can reach your property, Shire should too. Limited access? Please call us prior to ordering to avoid a costly abortive delivery.

Access

Unloading will take place at the kerb-side or your adjacent driveway. Vehicles will not leave the public highway. The driver, at their discretion, may be willing to carry the goods to your garden. Shire will not carry goods through or into your home, therefore you may wish to arrange some extra help privately.

Free Delivery

Shire offer a free delivery service within Central and Southern England, as indicated by their red zone on the map below. The above postcode checker will confirm this for you.

Pick A Day Delivery

For products on '7-14 days' delivery located within the majority of Shire's free red zone, during the checkout process you will be offered a calendar which allows you to select a preferred delivery date. Shire will endeavour to deliver on the date you have chosen. You will be promptly notified in the rare event that an alternative date is necessary for logistical reasons. As some distant red zone locations (such as BA postcodes) are serviced on a 2-day (overnight) run, the actual delivery day may vary by +/- 1 day of the date chosen. The following red zone locations are excluded from the Pick A Day service; BB, BD, BH, BL, BS, DH, DL, DT, FY, GU, HG, HR, L, PO, PR, SO, SP, SR, TA, TS and WN. Note: When an installation option has been chosen, a Pick-A-Day selection will not be offered; due to additional, post-order labour scheduling.  

Delivery Period

Delivery will typically occur within the period quoted on this product. For those products outside the '7-14 days' offer, you will be given the opportunity to chose your delivery date via Shire's online booking portal; a link will be sent by text or email a day or so after order. If a date is not chosen, Shire will notify you in advance by either telephone, text or email to confirm their date of delivery.

Extended Delivery

Less frequently serviced locations such as those outside Shire's red zone, may be subject to an extended period of up to an additional 7-14 days. These distant locations include North and South-West England, Wales and Scotland.

Installation (Extended Delivery)

When an installation service is chosen the product delivery period will increase by approximately 14-28 days, to accommodate additional labour scheduling. Therefore, a '14 Day' self-assembly delivery will become a '28-42 day' installed order. Once placed, Shire will issue an installation pack by email to explain the standard of supporting base required (concrete, paving etc), to enable installation to proceed. Installation scheduling will only commence once the customer returns the base and access information Shire request, including images of their existing base. A prompt return is advisable to avoid delay.

Offshore Delivery

The only offshore location Shire deliver to is the Isle of Wight; PO30-41. A green zone delivery charge applies to this island.

Excluded Locations

Shire does not service the following distant onshore locations; Northern Ireland (BT) and Scottish Highlands (IV4+, KW, PA20-78 and PH19-44). These form the yellow zone as shown upon the lower map. All offshore locations are excluded too, examples being; Guernsey (GY), Western Isles (HS), Isle of Man (IM), Jersey (JE), Orkney (KW), Shetland (ZE) and Scottish Islands (PA & PH).

Distant Surcharge

Due to additional Shire zone fees, certain distant locations can only be serviced at a surcharge (at cost). The above post code checker can confirm if a surcharge will apply.

These locations include:

Orange Zone (CF,CH,LA,NP) at £56.00 (except 19mm Log Cabins at £72.00 and 28mm+ Log Cabins at £210.00)

Blue Zone (CA,EX,LD,NE,SY) at £60.00 (except 19mm Log Cabins at £78.00 and 28mm+ Log Cabins at £240.00)

Green Zone (DG,EH,G,KA,LL,ML,PL,PO30-41,SA1-18,TD,TQ) at £72.00 (except 19mm Log Cabins at £84.00 and 28mm+ Log Cabins at £360.00)

Purple Zone (AB,DD,FK,IV1-3,KY,PA1-19,PH1-18,SA19-73,TR) at £108.00 (except 19mm Log Cabins at £120.00 and 28mm+ Log Cabins at £480.00)

This map offers a visual impression of the four surcharge zones. Delivery is free within the central red zone. No delivery service is available to the yellow zone.

    Saturday 28th August 2021 Verified Purchase

    This is very much a kit for making an Arbour. I needed a skilled friend to assist with building the Arbour, but it still took about 3 hours. Noticed some minor quality issues as it was put together. It needs to be treated which will take at least an hour per coat and will need 2 coats with a minimum 3 hours between coats. The construction will therefore take a large chunk out of a weekend. If you have a busy life this may not be the right choice for you. As it sat in bits in my garage I regretted buying it. I would have preferred to have bought a pre-constructed Arbour locally. A proper review can of course only be given after assessing the durabilty of the Arbour over a period of years. A lot will depend on how well it is treated. I used Cuprinol which required 2 coats, then another in 3 months and then annually.

    Sunday 28th March 2021 Verified Purchase

    The Arbour looks really good, very pleased with it and nice and solid for the price. Only a couple of gripes, having to drill your own holes was annoying, pre-drilled holes would have made it easier and the instructions being printed out so small you needed a magnifying glass. Also the roof sits behind the back wall without actually joining it which is a little odd but with a small modification we managed to bring it forward so it sat on top of the back panel eliminating the gap.

    Finally got it erected yesterday - shame you don't drill the pilot holes! 1st delivery date was cancelled so it was a day after my wife's birthday. Looks good and looking forward to a sunny day to test it out. A few knots in the wood but I guess that's natural. The manual was in very small print - should be a4 size.

    This is a very good quality and well made piece of garden furniture at an excellent price. All the wood was straight split free and dry when delivered, unlike similar items I have purchased previously from DIY shed outlets. It all fitted together very well with the different parts well matched. The delivery was very quick from the time of order, especially given where I live in comparison to the company base and the delivery driver was polite and helpful.

    I am delighted with my arbour. It is very robust. It was very easy to paint. It looks lovely in two tone blue. My partner is not a handyman and we thought that it would be difficult to assemble ...seeing as there were no screw holes. If there had been screw holes I would have rated it 5 star .. 2 friends put it together and needed to make minor adjustments. It is a very attractive addition to my garden and good value

    This is a fantastic arbour at a fantastic price. It is sturdy and solid, however, it does take two to put it together. It adds a wonderful countryside feel to the garden; I've painted mine in two contrasting shades; willow grass and country cream. Everyone who comes around loves it.

    Quite pleased with the arbour, though not that easy to put together and planks at the back as you look at it don't line up, so it doesn't look quite right and there is a few visible screw holes. But over all it looks nice.

    This arbour is superb, now painted and standing beautifully in the garden. The only thing that went wrong was the delivery. It didn't arrive on the day allocated and the next available delivery was 3 days later when it did arrive.

    Wednesday 07th June 2017 Verified Purchase

    Delighted with the arbour now painted blue/cream. Reasonably easy to assemble & at one point required 2 people. My wife being shorter than myself found the depth of the seat too much to achieve a comfortable seating position, I therefor altered the seat by removing a couple of slats at the front and this has solved the problem. An added benefit is that after any rain the seat stays drier than it did previously. Thanks again.
