About this range

A Summer House made to complement your garden

Summer Houses are ideal as an attractive addition to a garden or for general-purpose storage. They can provide a bright place to relax, enjoy hobbies or keep garden furniture and equipment protected.

Some customers send us drawings of their own designs, allowing us to work with them to create a Summer House suited to their garden and practical requirements.

Window areas are usually positioned with the movement of the sun in mind, helping to optimise natural-light use wherever the site and chosen design allow.

As with our sheds, every timber Summer House is made using the highest quality materials available to us in the trade. Buildings can be constructed using standard timber or Tanalised pressure-treated timber.

Summer House buildings are ideal for:

An attractive garden addition or general-purpose outdoor storage.

More than a standard garden building

Choose the character, strength and light your space needs

A Summer House can be tailored around how it will look in the garden and how you intend to use it. Window placement, timber treatment, cladding and framework can all influence the finished building.

Planned for natural light Window positioning can respond to the building’s orientation and the sun’s movement.

Ideas welcomed Customer drawings can be used as a starting point for a more personal garden design.

Flexible specification Choose timber treatment, cladding thickness and framework strength around your budget and intended use.

A specification to suit your project

Build around appearance, use and longevity

Choose from practical timber and construction options, or speak to us about a more individual design based on your own ideas.

Window placement

Position glazed areas to improve daylight and make the most of the building’s orientation within your garden.

Timber treatment

Choose standard timber or pressure-treated Tanalised timber according to the location, care requirements and intended lifespan.

Cladding choice

Select 16mm or 22mm timber cladding to balance budget, appearance and the level of construction you require.

Framework strength

Choose 38mm × 50mm framing or upgrade to substantial 3" × 2" Beast framing for a heavier-duty building.

Have a particular idea?

Your drawing can be the starting point

Customers have sent us sketches and drawings of the Summer Houses they would like to create. We can review the design, discuss the practical timber specification and calculate a manufacturing cost based on the chosen building.

This means the quotation can reflect your preferred layout, window areas, timber treatment, cladding and framework rather than forcing every garden into a single fixed design.

1 Plan the use

Decide whether the space is primarily for relaxing, hobbies or storage.

2 Consider the garden

Think about orientation, natural light, access and the surrounding view.

3 Select the specification

Choose treatment, cladding thickness, framing and available fittings.

Before you start designing

Summer House FAQs

Key considerations when choosing the position, timber and construction of your garden building.

Read all FAQs

What can I use a Summer House for?

A Summer House can be an attractive garden retreat, hobby space or general-purpose storage building. The chosen specification should reflect how often and how intensively the building will be used.

Can you work from my own sketch or drawing?

Yes. Customer drawings can provide a useful starting point. The design will still need to be reviewed for practical manufacture, access and suitable timber construction before a quotation is prepared.

How should the windows be positioned?

Consider the direction of the sun, the view from the building and privacy within the garden. Window areas can usually be positioned to make better use of natural light where the site and selected layout permit.

Should I choose standard or Tanalised timber?

Standard timber may suit accessible positions where regular treatment is straightforward. Pressure-treated Tanalised timber is useful where lower ongoing maintenance or more difficult access around the building is a priority.

What is the difference between the cladding choices?

The available 16mm and 22mm specifications provide different levels of material weight and strength. The right choice will depend on the building’s intended use, size and budget.

When should I choose Beast framing?

The 3" × 2" Beast framework is intended for a more substantial building or a project where heavier-duty construction is preferred over standard 38mm × 50mm framing.

Will my Summer House need a level base?

Yes. A firm, level and correctly sized base is essential for supporting the building, keeping doors aligned and helping the timber structure perform as intended.
