Unlike a standard shed, a summer house often features glazed doors and windows, creating a welcoming environment where you can relax. Even when the weather isn’t at its best, a summer house provides a sheltered way to enjoy your garden. A popular choice for families and anyone looking to extend their living space without the commitment of a fully insulated build.

Which Summer house is for me?

Classic summer house designs often include an apex roof, wide windows, and inviting double doors with some models including a covered veranda. If you prefer a more modern look, our contemporary pent-roof range includes clever corner designs, summer houses with built-in side sheds, and even options with sheltered spaces perfect for a hot tub.

Log Cabin Summer Houses

With traditional interlocking board design, log cabin summer houses offer a strong, durable build and come in a choice of wall thicknesses for added sturdiness. They’re available in both classic and contemporary styles, so whether you’re after timeless charm or a more modern look. There’s a design to perfectly suit your garden.

Insulated Summer Houses

If you’d like a garden building you can enjoy all year round, an insulated summer house is an ideal choice. Perfect as a home office, creative studio, or even a base for your business, it provides a comfortable space in every season without the expense of a full home extension or the need for planning permission in most cases.

Traditional Wooden Summer Houses

The classic summer house; with its timeless pitched roof it offers plenty of headroom and is filled with natural light thanks to wide windows. These traditional designs come in a range of sizes and styles, from elegant gable-end double doors to contemporary side elevation bi-folds, giving you the freedom to choose the perfect look to complement your garden.

Corner Summer Houses

Corner summer houses make clever use of space, slotting neatly into the garden while adding real style. With double doors and wide side windows, they’re wonderfully bright inside, and even available with a built-in side shed, so you can also enjoy the bonus of extra storage alongside your relaxing retreat.

With Side Shed

A summer house with a side shed gives you the best of both worlds: a relaxing retreat and practical storage all in one. With ample room for tools, bikes, or children’s toys, it keeps the garden neat and organised, so you can enjoy your new space without the distraction of clutter.

Contemporary Summer Houses

Contemporary summer houses feature sleek pent roofs, wide double doors, and the warmth of natural wood in a modern design. Some models also include a generous side shed, giving you both style and storage in one.
