Why Buy a Summerhouse Shed From Garden Buildings Direct?
A wooden summerhouse is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a stressful day at work. Thanks to the quality materials we use, like the tongue and groove construction of our BillyOh garden buildings, our products are sturdy and durable as well as weather-resistant. All buildings have a tight seal that blocks water ingress. And our summer house sheds come in a range of customisable cladding thickness, from 11mm as standard up to 19mm and even 28mm - perfect for even more superior insulation and year round use.
But they're not just a place to put your feet up. The great thing about summerhouse sheds is that, alongside their cosy space to relax, they have loads of storage space too! Whether you need to store your garden power tools or your garden furniture, their storage area is the perfect place for a bit of garden storage.
As well as options for base sizes, foundations and even minutiae like guttering, we also offer pressure treatment on many of our summer house sheds. Our BillyOh garden rooms come with a 10-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation; but our pressure-treated summerhouses come with a 15-year guarantee. So set your summer house shed up for everything that British weather can throw at it, and end up spending less time and money on maintenance down the line.
What Shapes and Styles Do Our Summer House Sheds Come In?
Our wooden summerhouse sheds come available in a number of different styles. If you’re after a garden building with a modern spin, then a pent roof is likely the style for you. This contemporary design offers a single slope which creates a shallow incline.
Meanwhile, if you’d rather go down the more traditional route with your summerhouse shed, then an apex or reverse apex roof is the ideal choice. Given the extra height an apex roof offers, this is the roof of choice for someone who wishes to use their garden shed for storage or as a workshop.
We also have a selection of corner summer houses that are designed to fit into the corner of your garden. Piqued your interest? Then take a look at the BillyOh Picton Corner Summerhouse with a contemporary style, pent angled roof, double doors, and large windows that let in tons of sunlight.
Most of our summerhouse sheds also come with wide-opening double doors for easy access or to open up and enjoy the summer. These pane doors are made with tall windows to let in tons of natural light. So if you plan on moving around in your new summer house and combining it with your outdoor space, pick one of our double-door options.

Summerhouse With Shed Storage Guarantee
Our quality summerhouses come with a guarantee against insect infestation to give you peace of mind. We can offer a 10-year guarantee against timber rot, decay, and insect infestation on our BillyOh summerhouses as standard. However, you will need to apply annual re-treatment of these products. The ability of moisture to build up and harsh weather conditions can cause havoc to a garden building.
That's why we also offer our 15-year guarantee on pressure-treated models.

- How big can a summer house be without planning permission?
- What’s the difference between a shed and a summer house?
- How much does a summerhouse shed cost?

As long as your summer house shed is no higher than a 4m with a dual pitched roof (with an eaves height of no more than 2.5m) and no larger than 50% of the size of your garden, you should be able to build without planning permission.
Make sure to double check with your local councill or read our guide to planning permission.
Most ‘sheddies’ will say that a shed has to have certain features like an apex roof and ample storage space. On the other hand, a summer house is more likely to be used for leisure activities rather than as storage or a workshop. It will arguably feature more windows and glazing to allow natural light and may even be hooked up with utilities. However, with our BillyOh Penton summerhouse with side shed, you can have the best of both worlds!
We offer a range of BillyOh summerhouse sheds with customisable sizes and features to suit all buyers. For example, our 4 x 8 summerhouses start from just £879.
A summer house offers a whole host of potential uses, varying from the common and conventional to the decidedly outside of the box. If you’re looking for summer house ideas, you could use it for:
- Garden storage if you go for a summer house with shed
- A workshop or tool shed
- A room for relaxation
- Outdoor dining
- A garden office
- A home gym
With even a small summer house, the possibilities are endless.
Generally, garden buildings such as summer houses are classed as ‘permitted developments’, meaning you wouldn't need planning permission. This is as long as your summer house shed isn’t:
- Built further forward than the front of your house
- Higher than one storey
- Higher than a max height of 2.5m at the eaves
- Larger than 50% of the area of your garden
Despite this, we’d strongly recommend contacting your local planning authority to discuss this. The larger your garden building and the closer it is to your property boundary, the greater the likelihood that permission for a summer house will be required.
For more information, read this guide on planning permission.
Our summerhouses allow you to relax in your garden, regardless of the season, temperature or weather. Available in a variety of different shapes and sizes, we're almost guaranteed to stock the summerhouse which is perfect for you.
Listed below are what we believe to be the best summer houses that we sell, so check them out today!
The Holly Apex Summerhouse is a stylish and contemporary garden building that is perfect for relaxing in your garden all year round. With a strong Tongue & Groove build, the summerhouse is durable and long-lasting, becoming a feature of your garden for years to come. The Holly is complete with wide opening double doors for easy access and stunning long windows, which provide natural light and a view of your garden.
The Petra summerhouse is a great companion during the summer months and provides a cosy relaxing space throughout the rest of the year. The large windows and optional door placement allows you to get as much natural light as possible, great for entertaining.
The Darcy Log Cabin Summerhouse has been designed to provide an ideal and comfortable space you can relax in. With a Modern Reverse Apex design and contemporary style windows and doors, the Darcy would make for a stunning addition to any outdoor area. The summerhouse features fully glazed doors and opening windows, allowing for lots of natural light and helping to create a light and airy space for you to enjoy.
Maximise your space with a building designed specifically for the corner of your garden. The large windows, fully glazed doors and tall roof offer an abundance of natural light while offering you a large space to relax or entertain in the comfort of your garden.
A structurally sound base is essential in ensuring your summer house can last as long as possible. Your summer house base should be flat and level, so as to avoid cracking and breaking the timber or putting undue stress on window and door frames which could shatter glass. Your choices vary from a concrete base for your summer house to an ecobase or timber sub-floor. That’s why we offer many of these as add-ons upon purchasing your summer house.
If you’re not careful, condensation can rapidly build up in your garden summer house structure as a consequence of changing temperatures throughout the year. But with proper care and maintenance, you can stop damp in your summer house.
Make sure there is sufficient airflow through your summerhouse and be sure to aerate it even in the winter months. Leaving the doors and windows open will allow your garden building to breathe. To restrict the ability of moisture to penetrate the timber, and stop rot and mould:
- Don’t store damp items in your summer house
- Opt for pressure-treated timber or treat your summer house with wood treatment
- Think about installing a vapour membrane if need be
- Build your garden summer house on a raised base with no direct ground contact
For more on how to damp proof and insulate your wooden summer house, check out our comprehensive guide.
Our range of BillyOh summerhouses are all designed to be easy and simple to assemble. Using the digital assembly instructions included in your order confirmation and with a team of at least 2 people, the handy pre assembled panels mean you will have your BillyOh building up in no time! You’ll just require some basic tools like a drill and bits, level, and hammer.
Our tongue and groove panelling provides a weather-resistance, tight interlocking seal to keep your warm in winter and cool in summer. However, to further insulate your summer house, you could consider:
- Using a draught excluder
- Installing a vapour barrier
- Installing floor ad roofing Celotex insulation sheets
- Upgrading to double-glazed windows
This can be especially useful if you plan to use your summerhouse as a home office throughout the year or overnight. For more, read our guide to damp-proofing and insulating a garden building.
