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


As long as you’re not planning to use your summer house as a permanent residence then it should fall under ‘permitted development’, meaning that you shouldn’t require planning permission. This is also on the basis that your summer house is:


  • Not built further forward than the front wall of your house.
  • Single storey.
  • Built with a max eaves height no greater than 2.5m (with an overall height of 4m for a dual-pitched roof).
  • Not larger than 50% of your garden.

These rules may vary depending on where you live, however, and it’s always wise to check with your local council first. For more information, check out our quick guide to planning permission.



For any garden building, your base options include a concrete slab or pavers, timber subfloor, or a combination of gravel and a foundation base. We never recommend building directly onto ground or an unlevel site.


For example, our robust and simple to use EcoBase provides you with a firm, long-lasting foundation with suitable drainage for your garden building. It is quick and easy to install through the use of snap connectors that link the grids to each other.

Our 8 x 8 summer houses are perfect for small to medium gardens and families who want a usable space or ample storage space but who don’t quite have enough room for a 10 x 8 summerhouse.


Where Is an 8 x 8 Summerhouse a Good Fit?

Since these are small summerhouses, they’re a good fit in gardens where space is at a premium. Thanks to our specially designed corner models, this includes outdoor spaces that are a little outside the norm - whether that’s awkward boundary shape or unconventional layout. 

The square shape of these 8 by 8-foot buildings provides flexibility both with their placement and positioning; you can easily adjust the orientation of the entrance and windows to best fit your garden.

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.
