Summer houses
A Summer house, just like a garden room, makes the perfect versatile space for entertainment, relaxation, office garden, or a hobby or craft room.
While the name suggests seasonal use, summerhouses can be enjoyed throughout the year. They offer additional living and relaxation space, as well as storage capacity, and can add personality and character to your garden.
What to think about when considering a Summer House
In the UK, summerhouses are generally considered "permitted development," meaning they don't usually require planning permission, although there can be exceptions.
​
When choosing a summerhouse, factors such as its intended use, available space (considering planning permission requirements), and your budget will guide your decision. Summerhouses come in various sizes, from compact options suitable for small gatherings or personal hobbies (e.g., starting at 1.8m x 1.8m or 6ft x 6ft) to larger structures that can serve as dining or socializing spaces, craft rooms, or workrooms (e.g., up to 5.4m x 6.0m or 18ft x 20ft, and even larger with certain models).
​
Quality is an important consideration when purchasing a summerhouse. Mass-produced, low-cost options won't offer long-lasting durability, which is why our Summer houses are of a higher quality and designed to withstand the elements using high-quality timber and craftsmanship to ensure protection and longevity. Our Summer houses are constructed by expert carpenters and joiners and can make bespoke if you have specific design preferences.
