Corner Summerhouses
If you want a gorgeous summerhouse but don’t have much garden space to work with, don’t fret. Our corner summerhouses are made from the same high-quality European sourced timber and tongue and groove cladding as our main range of summerhouses - and better yet, they're designed to fit into small and awkward gardens.

Corner Summerhouses
For small, urban and space-limited gardens, it can be hard to imagine adding a dedicated place where you could sit and relax. But a corner summerhouse can achieve just that, even in awkward spaces.
Built to fit into corners and nooks, each model features angled doubled doors for easy access and huge panoramic windows that offer great views out to the rest of your garden as well as strong and reliable interlocking tongue & groove cladding. These space-saving summerhouse models are the perfect way to add a dedicated spot of calm to your garden.
What are Corner Summerhouses?
A corner summerhouse is a garden building designed to sit in the right-angled corner or nook of a garden. The two adjoining walls on the back are closed off, while the opposite walls have glazing and an angled double door to fit the corner setting they’re designed for. This design provides fantastic space efficiency and lets you utilise areas of your garden that may normally remain empty.
While these summerhouses are generally used for relaxing, there’s lots of functionality that you can unlock. Their airy interior spaces can be transformed into an office environment, a place to host social get-togethers or even a dedicated spa! Plus, with a corner summerhouse with storage, you can buy a model with added functionality.
Quality Features of Our Corner Summerhouses
Explore the features that make our corner garden summerhouses stand out:
- All our BillyOh corner buildings are designed, manufactured and delivered ourselves. This allows us to produce quality buildings without the inflated costs of a middleman.
- Each summerhouse is constructed with tongue and groove cladding. Here, panels lock into each other with a tongue and corresponding groove, which creates a smooth exterior, a tight seal, and additional structural support.
- Every building is equipped with a 10-year guarantee which protects the building against rot, decay, and insect infestation - the main causes of timber damage.
- All our corner summerhouses are constructed with wide double doors, set at an angle to provide even easier access inside. When opened fully, the doors allow fresh air to circulate throughout the building for better ventilation and cooling.
- Like our pent summerhouses, each corner model has a flat sloped roof that efficiently drains water and provides a sleek cap to the building.
- Some models have the added option of being pressure-treated. This process sees chemical preservatives injected into the makeup of the timber itself, which adds extra longevity to the wood. If you opt to have your building treated, this carries a 15 year guarantee.
Assembly and Planning Permission
Our BillyOh buildings are provided with easy-to-follow assembly instructions. You and a friend can have your corner garden summerhouse up in a matter of hours with just some basic tools. Our guide on how to build a corner summerhouse can be a useful helping hand.
In England, most summerhouses don't need planning permission because they count as permitted development. To qualify, your building must:
- cover, together with any other outbuildings and extensions, no more than half the land around the original house
- sit behind the front wall of your house, not forward of it
- not be used as living accommodation, such as a bedroom
- stay within the height limits: 2.5m at the eaves, and 3m overall for a pent roof (4m for an apex or reverse apex)
Corner summerhouses usually sit close to a fence or wall, so one more rule tends to apply. If any part of the building is within 2m of a boundary, the overall height limit drops to 2.5m. Check the height on the product page against where you plan to put it. Different rules apply to listed buildings, National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (now National Landscapes) and properties outside England. If in doubt, check with your local planning authority before you buy.
