1. Select Size

Size measured in feet

2. Select Treatment

Spray Treated

Treated with a beautiful golden brown spray treatment which colours and protects the wood during transit. Designed to last through shipping and assembly, we do recommend treating the wood after installation to protect and preserve it, as well as annual maintenance.

Pressure Treated

An effective way of keeping the wood long-lasting and increasing the longevity of your building. In a pressurised tank, chemical preservatives are forced deep into the wood’s fibres to resist rot or decay. Upgrading to Pressure Treated means the guarantee is extended from 10 to 15 years. Please note Pressure Treatment gives your wood a slightly green hue to begin with, but over time this will age and turn to a beautiful warm brown colour.

2. Personalise your summerhouse

11mm Tongue and Groove

Our Standard flooring option which provides a durable, solid foundation and underfoot to the building. The 11mm option is ideal for less demanding and frequent usage, suitable for lighter intensity purposes like summer houses and other living spaces containing light furniture. The 11mm tongue and groove timber makes this a solid yet suitable, economical option.

19mm Tongue and Groove

1.7 times thicker than our standard 11mm flooring, our premium floor is the perfect choice for higher intensity usage. The construction uses thick 19mm Tongue and Groove timber, which gives you not only the strength, but better insulation against the cold weather. This specific floor is the perfect option if you’re planning on using the building as an everyday use office, gym or games room with heavy objects.

3. Add Extras

Complete your building with optional shelving, guttering, base options, assembly kits and more.

Spray Treated: Spray treatment comes as standard. Your building will get a beautiful golden brown spray treatment before leaving the factory in order to preserve the quality of the wood up until delivery. As this only lasts through the transit stage, we do advise treating the wood after installation to protect and preserve it, as well as annual maintenance.

Pressure Treated: For an extra level of protection, you can opt for a pressure-treated building which is an effective way of keeping the wood long-lasting. This is an extra step in the manufacturing process where the wood is treated in a pressurised tank. Chemical preservatives are forced deep into the wood’s fibres to resist rot, decay and termites. When you upgrade to Pressure Treatment, the guarantee is extended from 10 to 15 years. The Pressure Treatment gives your building a slightly green hue, to begin with, but over time this will age and turn to a beautiful warm brown colour..

With the Petra an 11mm tongue and groove floor and roof is included but you can upgrade to 19mm to suit more intensive use.

Roof:

11mm: Our standard roof option, this interlocking roof provides a reliable covering for any building. The Tongue and Groove not only gives your building a stronger roof but also a premium look and feel.

Floor:

11mm: Our Standard flooring option which provides a durable, solid foundation and underfoot to the building. The 11mm option is ideal for less demanding and frequent usage, suitable for lighter intensity purposes like summer houses and other living spaces containing light furniture. The 11mm tongue and groove timber makes this a solid yet suitable, economical option.

19mm: A premium floor is the perfect choice for higher intensity usage. The construction uses thick 19mm tongue and groove timber, which gives you not only the strength, but better insulation against the cold weather. This specific floor is the perfect option if you’re planning on using the building as an everyday use office, gym or games room with heavy objects.

All garden buildings should be assembled on a firm and level base. A base will ensure your building has a solid, long-lasting and well-drained foundation.

If you want to build your own base, from a sturdy material such as concrete or flagstones, you can find minimum dimensions for each size of this building in the tech specs. In order to protect your building from moisture, you should leave a 2ft gap around the exterior of your building, so remember to take this into consideration when laying any sort of base.

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.

If your building is shorter than 2.5m you should not require planning permission, (unless it’s more than 50% of your garden or will be placed in your front garden). Planning permission rules can vary by area so we would strongly recommend checking your local council rules before purchasing a garden building from us.

We do not offer an installation service on any of our buildings, as they are 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!

Our sheds and summerhouse are delivered in easy to assemble panels. For your convenience the panels are no wider than 4ft so they can be easily maneuverable and fit through a standard doorway. Glazing and any additional wood is delivered in separate, clearly labeled packages.

Your order can be tracked through the account section on our website or by contacting us directly. You will be contacted after your order via your online account, email or text to provide updates on delivery dates.

We offer a pay by finance option on any purchase over the value of £560.

Our simple finance options allow you to spread the cost of your purchase over 24, 36 or 48 months.Read more about our Pay by Finance option here.

BillyOh Petra Summerhouses

The Petra is a bright building with windows across the front and double side windows. The tall windows and doors are glazed with shatter-resistant SAN giving you fantastic views and natural light without the worry of glass.


This wooden summer house lends itself to customisation, and with the range of sizes, you can choose the best one to suit your garden. With only one side having windows, it couldn’t be easier to place your Petra to the side of a garden or patio, making it a fantastic corner summerhouse. Due to the natural light and views given by the windowed front wall, the Petra has many uses and would work great as a home office, summerhouse bar, garden studio or decorate it with all your home accessories to create a relaxing home away from home.


The Petra comes with a beautiful golden spray treatment which can be upgraded to pressure treated for longevity. Your Petra can also be painted as many of our customers have done to match your chosen aesthetic. Please see our customer images for inspiration on what you could do with your garden summer house.


Sizes


This BillyOh building comes in a selection of sizes from 10x8 to 20x10. Our wide range of base sizes for the Petra reverse apex summerhouse is designed to be suitable for all types of gardens and budgets.


Design


The reverse apex design offers increased head height and lends itself to an everyday use office or relaxation room. Apex and reverse apex roof styles are typical in more traditional summerhouses and offer excellent water runoff.


We believe the Petra offers the perfect space for use as a home office or a cosy space to relax at the end of the day. Whatever you use it for, make the most of your outdoor space with a BillyOh Petra summerhouse.


Double Doors


Perfect for opening up during summer parties or on hot days, this traditional take on a contemporary summer house offers wide-opening double doors. There are a whole host of other customisable options including treatment and roofing upgrades.


Treatment


Our garden buildings feature options for trim colours for personal preference - for an alpine shade, opt for a light green, perhaps. We also offer pressure treatment as an optional wood treatment on the Petra summerhouse. This will increase its longevity and your BillyOh guarantee to 15 years against rot, decay, and insect infestation. Green mineral roof felt is included as standard.


Tongue and Groove Cladding


We use high-quality European-sourced summerhouse timber constructed in tongue and groove panels for this model. The Petra is designed for summer but also to stand up to even harsh weather conditions, where tongue and groove timber offers dependable quality and a tight seal.


Tongue and groove construction also gives you the option, for example of varying floor cladding thickness. You can customise your Petra and create an even more weather resistant garden building with sturdy construction, courtesy of our tongue and groove panelling.


Guarantee


On non-pressure treated models, we offer our BillyOh 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation. Summer house moisture and ability of moisture to rising in the form of damp make pressure-treating even our high-quality European sourced timber a worthwhile investment.


Planning Permission


Always make sure to double-check your local council rules, but generally planning regulations will allow you to build your Petra summerhouse without permission, if:


  • It is not intended for use as permanent living quarters
  • The eaves height after under 2.5m (the Petra's are 1.73m)
  • The ridge height is under 4m (the Petra's is 2.34m)
  • It is not two-storey
  • It isn't larger than 50% of the area of your garden
  • It isn't built past the front wall of your house

With some basic tools and the assembly instructions provided with your order, you and a friend can have your Petra built in no time. We always suggest mounting your garden building on a sturdy and level footing, like a concrete base.

"We chose the Petra for the size and also for the windows overlooking the garden and pond. It’s just allowed us to enjoy the garden more and to relax - with all the windows it makes it bright."

Damian
We’re using it as a summer house for in the evenings watching TV. And also a bbq area to enjoy the garden. I’ve painted the beams grey and the walls white and my favourite thing is the size and how much room inside there is.
We chose it for the price for the size of the building. Our experience was fine, we had 1 split panel which was resolved and sent a new one out straight away. I’d say just make it how you want it - I'm going to be insulating it at some point.
