Types of Summerhouse

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 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.
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

Same floor area, turned to suit your space. An 8x10 has its doors on the 8ft side — a narrower frontage and a deeper run back, good for a slim spot or a front-to-back layout. A 10x8 puts the doors on the wider 10ft side for a broad, panoramic view across the garden.

At ~80 sq ft with a deeper 10ft footprint, an 8x10 gives room for a proper seating area — a sofa and a couple of chairs — with space at the back for a drinks or coffee corner, a bookshelf or extra storage. The depth suits a relaxed lounge layout facing the doors and the garden.

A standard summerhouse is at its best in the warmer months — it's a reliable structure year-round (with some maintenance requirements), but the single glazing and un-insulated walls won't hold heat well in winter. For genuine year-round use, choose one of our insulated summerhouses; we don't recommend adding your own insulation, as it voids the guarantee.

When selecting your summer house, you should choose one that is not only the right size but which suits your intended use. While they can make excellent outdoor lounging, perhaps you are looking for a garden house which could be used as a garden office or an entertainment room.

If you’re looking for something which will be comfortable all year round, you might want to look at a fully insulated garden room.

While these models are all available in the 10x8 size, that doesn't mean they're the same style. Whether you're looking for something modern with a pent roof or a more traditional apex building, we've got a ton of options. For more help finding a size that fits, our summerhouse buying guide can give you the advice you need.

What Size Garden Is a 10x8 Summerhouse Right For?

There are a few factors in play when choosing the right-sized summerhouse for your garden space. Picking a model that’s sized right depends ultimately on how much space you want it to take up. But there can be situations where a building is just too big.

If the 10’ x 8’ summerhouse will take up more than 30% of your space, we would advise choosing a smaller model. Taking up that much room can make your garden feel considerably smaller - to the point it’ll feel too small or too busy. Under planning permission regulations, they’re not allowed to take up more than 50% of the space (and that includes any previous extensions your home might have had).

We recommend at least two feet of clearance on either side to prevent damage from nearby or adjoining structures. This means the ideal garden for this size is anything bigger than 30x10 feet (or 9 by 3 metres).

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.

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.

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

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.
