Types of Summer House

The classic garden house, created from timber and built for relaxation. A place for peace and quiet, a place to spend those long, sweltering summer days. A typical design maximises the amount of natural light that reaches the interior and keeps the separation between outdoors and in to a minimum. But when it comes to style and shape, our wide variety of buildings gives you the freedom to pick to your preference.
The heavy-duty cousin of a regular building, you’ll find these log cabin summerhouses provide comfort that can be enjoyed throughout the year. While still providing a dedicated place to relax, and full of features that let you make the most of summer, the thicker log walls afford a more comfortable interior better suited for the colder months of the year and adding to the usability of your summerhouse.

Utility is guaranteed with a summerhouse shed that serves two functions in one. Unlock both a relaxing garden experience and a practical outdoor storage unit in one convenient building.

The side store is included with:

In-built insulation expands what you can do with a summerhouse. It becomes so much more than a place to relax, with the ability to use the building as an office or studio space. With reduced heat transfer due to the insulate features - like insulation foil and double glazing - these insulated summerhouses aren’t just for summer, but can become a whole new room in your home.
Made for those awkward spaces and unused corners - add a place to relax and unwind. Specially designed for right-angle spaces, a corner summerhouse is the perfect way to start making the most of your garden by adding a place to relax. The design of these buildings is great for sunlight, with windows on two sides to help make the interior bright and airy.

FAQs

Usually, no. Most UK properties are allowed summer houses as 'permitted developments' with no planning permission required.

Exceptions (where you MIGHT need planning permission) include:

  • Listed properties and locations of 'outstanding natural beauty
  • Structures exceeding 2.5 metres height on the eaves (our summerhouses don't exceed this)
  • Summerhouses placed in the front garden
  • Sheds exceeding more than 50% of the garden space

There are some other rules, so check out our guide to planning permission for summerhouses to get a full understanding.

We use Scandinavian spruce, never cheap pine. The trees are replanted after the timber is acquired.

Our BillyOh wooden buildings are guaranteed for 10 years against rot, decay and insect infestation. Good maintenance can see these buildings last many years longer than the guarantee.

If you buy a pressure treated summerhouse, the guarantee is extended to 15 years. Pressure treatment is a process where wood preserver is forced deep into the timber by a high-pressure machine. The preservative protects the wood from moisture, rot and insects, keeping it healthier and stronger for longer.

Traditional summerhouses are perfect for lounging in the garden, keeping you cool on a hot day, and allow you to continue enjoying your outdoor space even if it rains.

As an extra room, summerhouses can also be used for other activities, especially those that come with thicker walls. Some models can be used as a garden office, for instance.

You will find even more potential from a large summer house. If you have the space to spare, be sure to check out our larger size options.

For more inspiration, check out our summerhouse ideas guide.

Traditionally, summerhouses are designed as sitting areas for enjoying the garden during the warmer half of the year. They also provide a way to enjoy your garden during rain or cold winds.

While many models have thin walls, meaning they do not hold onto heat through the colder months, a log cabin summer house offers an alternative if you're looking for a room to use for more of the year.

The size of your summer house will depend on what you plan to use it for and how much space you have. Remember that it needs to take up less than half your garden, in order to avoid the planning permission legal process. You can find out more about that in our guide to summerhouse planning permission.

One of the most popular sizes is a 12x8 summerhouse (measured in feet, equating to about 3.6 x 2.4 metres). This size provides ample room for it to be used as a relaxing family lounge area, a garden office, a garden gym, or a host of other purposes.

The best approach is to decide where you would like the summerhouse to stand in your garden and measure the width and length of that space with a tape measure. This will give you an idea of the size range you should be looking at.

Our summerhouses start from less than £800. If you need to budget carefully for your building, we have a range of cheap summerhouses that may be the most accessible for you.

Don't forget you can also use our finance options to make it easier to afford your new building.

Customer Testimonials

Elodie's Picton Corner Summerhouse
Elodie's Picton Corner Summerhouse
It’s allowed us to spend so much more time outside no matter what the weather. We’ve even been out there in the winter with our coats and blankets on, it really is usable all year!
Stacey's Renna Summerhouse
Stacey's Renna Summerhouse
The large windows and double doors provide an uninterrupted view of the garden and plenty of room inside to enjoy the view. My favourite thing - hands down, has to be the ability to sit and enjoy a space away from home.
Izzie's Holly Summerhouse
Izzie's Holly Summerhouse
I just loved the design of the BillyOh Holly summerhouse from the outside and I wanted something that was the same width and length to fit perfectly into the corner of my garden.
Emma's Bella Summerhouse
Emma's Bella Summerhouse
It’s allowed us to have a space away from the house to enjoy with friends so we don't wake the kids up! Also, over the last year it’s allowed us to feel like we are sort of going out, even if it is just to the bottom of the garden!
Farayi's Penton Summerhouse
Farayi's Penton Summerhouse
We chose this building for storage and somewhere to sit and enjoy the garden. We now have a solution for both which is just amazing. It’s really allowed us to sit and admire the view and still be in the garden all year round.
Lisa's Tessa Summerhouse
Lisa's Tessa Summerhouse
It had more windows than everything else, and the dual aspect doors made for a flexible space. We chose Garden Buildings Direct because of the good value and a good selection of summerhouses.
