Just a brief note to say how delighted I am with the Melanie (9.6 sqm) Log Cabin I bought from you. Your service and price were superb and Greg and Craig came at 9am on Tuesday and worked right through until 8pm to build it.
They did an excellent job and did not stop all day. Greg advised that I should paint the door and windows a different colour as otherwise the green painted log cabin would be ‘lost’ in the garden and I took their advice. I used two different colours of Butinox No. 3 and the result is absolutely incredible. Many thanks once again. One hugely satisfied customer.

The delivery lorry arrived about eleven o’clock and the driver duly unloaded two very large packages. At eleven thirty my neighbour and I began to investigate these well protected packages.
Just after three o’clock that afternoon, two self satisfied men were enjoying a well deserved beverage whilst admiring the 4.5 by 3.5 meter cabin which was now completed up to roof purling level.
The construction of the cabin was so logical and easy, just like assembling ‘Lego blocks’ only heavier.

We absolutely love our Summer House – we can seat 16 people inside it, it stays warm long after the sun has gone down and it is particularly special as we run a B&B, so we can escape into it, invite all our friends to parties in it and now, we have installed electricity so can have lighting, heat and music as and when needed. It also provides a really big area to store all our garden furniture during the winter months.
We would absolutely recommend you to anyone considering buying one. Many thanks.

FAQS: Summer Houses

Extended Living Space: Summer houses add valuable square footage that can be tailored for various uses, from a home office to a lounge area.

Versatility: Whether you need a cozy art studio or a spacious area for gatherings, summer houses can be customized to meet diverse needs.

Connection to Nature: Enclosed in glass and natural wood, these structures provide a protected environment where you can enjoy your garden, regardless of the weather. An octagonal summer house, for example, enhances this connection by offering all-around views of your garden.

Enhanced Property Value: Both traditional UK summer houses and modern designs can significantly increase the value and appeal of your property.

What styles are available?

Contemporary Summer House: Emphasizes minimalistic design with flat roofs, large glass panels, and sleek lines, blending seamlessly with contemporary garden landscapes.

What do I need to consider when choosing a new summer house?

Planning Permission: Check local regulations, as many summer houses do not require planning permission if they meet specific size and location criteria.

Location: Select a site that maximizes privacy, sunlight, and views, enhancing your enjoyment and the usability of the space.

Customization: Many companies offer bespoke options, allowing you to personalize everything from the layout to the materials and finishes. Choose an option that allows you to add spacious windows and double doors, as well as insulation so that you can enjoy your garden house year round.

Space: Small summer houses are a perfect compact choice for gardens with limited space. For gardens with unused or awkward corners, a corner summer house allows you to utilize an area that might otherwise go to waste.
