We love to catch up with our customers to see how they’re getting on with their garden buildings. So this week, we caught up with someone very special who has an amazing story about how they put their new purchase to good use!
A playhouse as a present is a profound statement of how much you want to make your children happy. But getting your children a whole summerhouse is a different story!
We have to admit, like Ian, one of the things we consider before we purchase something is the price.
Is it worth the hours of work? Is it worth the investment? Do I need this? Or do I just want this?
Most of these questions we ask ourselves. But one of them always stands out. Is it value for money? This is what led Ian to choose the BillyOh Carmen Log Cabin Summerhouse.
‘The quality of your product is really top grade.’
Prior to his purchase, Ian knew all about Garden Buildings Direct as he had used our brand previously. A couple of years ago he purchased our Wendy House for his little ones, however since then, they had grown out of the playhouse and needed a little extra space for their outdoor activities.
He decided to reuse GBD due to our cheap prices and high quality garden units, and this time round he went for something that will last a life time no matter the age in a summerhouse.
‘Garden Buildings Direct are far cheaper than their competitors.’
After a speedy delivery process, Ian wasted no time in constructing his newly acquired unit and had it complete in no time! He even managed to get it delivered a day early – because we strive to go that extra mile for our customers, no matter how little or large their request.
‘I phoned to see if I could possibly have my delivery early, and within 2 minutes it was all confirmed and you delivered to me on the day I requested.’
Although he found the prospect of building such a vast and sizeable building to be a little daunting, Ian was reassured by our readily cut materials and easy-to-follow instructions provided with every unit.
And in no time at all, he turned a pile of timber and fixings into a luxury summerhouse.
‘When my delivery arrived I must admit I thought it looked a bit daunting. But after reading the instructions I found that it was so simple and clear I even managed to build it myself in one day.’
Upon completion he got to work on furnishing the roomy interior, fitting it with comfy seating and installing wall lighting for those dark winter nights. He decided not to paint the exterior as he wanted that rustic and minimalistic vibe – to each their own!
Ian also decided that his summerhouse could be of dual use in a playroom for the kids by day, turned relaxing retreat for himself and the wife by night – showing that our versatile products can serve a number of purposes, whatever the occasion.
‘I will definitely recommend Garden Buildings Direct to anyone I know.’

Yet another fantastic and thoughtful conversion from a father who clearly puts his youngsters first every day!
