Summer House with Gazebo: Enhance Your Outdoor Living Space

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.

FAQ

Can a summer house be customised to fit awkward corners in my garden?

Absolutely! We are happy to plan and build bespoke options, and we can provide a free, no-obligation quote for individual needs. You can reach out to use to find out what is required. Depending on your preferences, customisation options can be supplied to ensure the perfect fit for your space. You can also choose from different door styles and glass panel options to enhance natural light and accessibility.

Are all your garden buildings treated?

Our garden buildings are made from dense, slow grown Nordic spruce to ensure durability and longevity, and the foundation beams are green pressure treated to protect against damp, disease, and insects.

On most buildings, you can also opt for it to be dip treated. If you don’t go for the dip treatment, treating the building as soon as possible with a treatment suitable for finished or sanded timber is best. We are always happy to advise on suitable treatment products.

Can I use a summer house as a dining area?

Absolutely! Here are a few suggestions to help you create the perfect dining area:

- Furniture Selection: Use a sturdy dining table and weather-resistant chairs. If space is tight, opt for a foldable or extendable table.

- Weather Protection: For a more sheltered space, install retractable screens or outdoor blinds to shield against wind, rain, or excessive sun.

- Lighting: Use battery-powered or solar lights, such as string lights or lanterns, for evening dining. Consider a central pendant light if power is available.

- Storage & Organisation: Have storage for tableware, napkins, and serving essentials to avoid constant trips inside. A small sideboard or shelves can help.

- Insect Control: Use citronella candles, mosquito netting, or discreet bug zappers to keep pests away.

These steps make a gazebo summerhouse a practical and comfortable dining space rather than just a seasonal extra.

Do I need planning permission for the installation of a garden building?

In many cases, garden buildings are considered permitted development and do not require planning permission. However, this depends on factors like how the structure is constructed, size, roof height, and location within your property, so it’s always best to first check with local authorities.

How does the interlocking design enhance the durability of the structure?

It ensures that each log fits securely with the next, creating a stable and robust structure. This method enhances the building’s resistance to external elements and reduces gaps, providing better insulation and longevity.
