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.
