Summerhouses

A garden house is a fantastic addition to any outdoor space, offering the ideal place to help you unwind after a hard day at work. Our garden houses are available in a whole host of different styles and sizes. With a wide range of traditional and contemporary summer houses on offer, there’s something for everyone, whether it be for use as a garden cottage, workshop or more of a shed house.

Commonly, they have large windows to allow plenty of light in and are often painted calming colours like blue or light green. This helps create a peaceful atmosphere inside, which is why so many homeowners use garden houses to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Our garden summer houses come in a wide range of sizes and styles to meet all budgets and requirements. Here are some of the options we have to offer at Shed Store.

Whether you need a compact wooden summerhouse for a small garden or a spacious summerhouse with a large footprint for entertaining friends and family, we have quality summerhouses in all sizes. From small 6x4 options to expansive 12x8 summer houses, there’s something for every space, right up to 26’x16’.

For those who love a modern design, our contemporary summerhouses feature clean lines, large windows for natural light and stylish finishes. These are perfect for a sleek and elegant garden building that blends seamlessly with a modern garden.

Designed to make the most of your garden space, our corner summer houses fit neatly into any garden’s layout. Especially well-suited to small gardens, their unique designs provide extra space without taking over your space, making them ideal for relaxation or work.

A log cabin summerhouse offers a robust and durable structure, perfect for year-round use. These log cabin style wooden summerhouses provide a robust and durable building, perfect for leisure, work or entertaining guests.

Our insulated summer houses include buildings like the Forest Xtend 4+ insulated summerhouse from the Xtend range. These are built for all-season comfort and are perfect for use as a luxury garden room or office. They offer superior insulation and energy efficiency using SIP panel construction and UPVC double glazing, making them ideal for those who want extra space that stays warm in winter and cool in summer.

Choose between single or double doors to suit your needs, whether it’s easy tool and equipment access or a wide opening for indoor-outdoor living.

Our summerhouses come with a choice of apex roof, pent roof or flat roofs, each offering different benefits. An apex roof provides traditional charm and extra height, while a pent roof has a sleek, modern design. Other available roof options include pyramid, reverse apex and curved.

A summerhouse with a side shed offers a practical solution combining storage and living space. Keep tools and equipment neatly tucked away while enjoying a stylish, comfortable space for work or leisure.

Garden houses can be used for a multitude of purposes, not just relaxation rooms.

For instance, they make perfect playrooms. If you’re tired of clearing up toys in your home, a dedicated space in the garden could be a superb solution.

A garden house can make for a fantastic outdoor studio, perfect for meetings, creative work, socialising, games or even a gym. What better place to create art than in the tranquil setting of your own garden?

Adding good lighting and a power supply enables you to make the most of your building. One option is to have a qualified electrician connect it up to the mains supply. Alternatively, you could invest in some solar panels and generate your own electricity.

Solar-based systems are the simplest and safest way to light up your wooden summerhouse. They’re easy to install and cost-effective. Some of our solar units’ battery hubs can even be used to charge mobile devices, laptops and other small appliances.

Furthermore, some of our designs incorporate separate storage sections. A dedicated storage shed area allows you to stow away your garden tools without disrupting and cluttering your summer house.

Dual purpose summer houses are the future of garden buildings!

If you are looking for premium wooden summer houses, be sure to choose our Xtend range, tongue and groove buildings, or log cabin summer houses like the range we have here.

Choosing a tongue and groove summer house or log cabin, whether traditional or shiplap, is a great option as they are built from thick, interlocking timber boards forming panels which are affixed to thick frames. This creates a strong, robust structure which prevents against water penetration and wind.

The key difference between the two is that traditional has a flatter aesthetic while shiplap panels have a channel running horizontally which allows water to run off even more efficiently.

Be sure to check roof and floor specifications too. Premium summer houses will have 12mm thick tongue and groove roof and floor panels. Solid flooring is a must-have if you’re intending on having heavy furniture, office equipment or games tables in your building. Heavy duty roof panels are both weathertight and durable.

All shiplap and wooden summer houses are high quality and built to last. If you’re interested in a building suitable for usage throughout the whole year, however, a log cabin could be the best option instead.

To get the best value garden building, pressure treated summer houses are the best option. These structures are guaranteed for an impressive 25 years against rot and fungal decay. There is no need for further maintenance either, so you don’t have to spend time and money on annual retreatment.

For year round usage, a log cabin is the best option. The word “summer” should not be used too literally though as many of our past customers use summer houses all year round. For more comfortable options in colder months consider buying a double glazed summerhouse.

As well as more premium buildings, we also supply a wide range of cheap summer houses. Typically, cheaper options are built using dip treated, overlap timber. Prices start at just over £500 for basic 6’ x 4’ styles.

Overlap construction involves affixing vertically overlapping slats of timber to a sturdy frame. This allows rainwater to quickly drain off. Our dip treated products are guaranteed for 10 years against rot and fungal decay, provided they are treated annually with a high-quality wood preservative.

Cheap summer houses are perfect for those purchasing their first outdoor building, or for those with smaller gardens. For the highest quality garden houses, such as our Palmako log cabins, prices can exceed £16,000, but these are much larger buildings with the biggest being 7.8m x 4.8m and include high quality, thick 70mm Nordic spruce interlocking logs, 19mm roof and floor and double glazing throughout.

For anything in between, be sure to view our full range.
