Is it still advised to use the wooden base if I have a concrete base installed for the summer house?
If you already have a concrete base installed for the summer house, then it is unnecessary to install a wooden base. However, you may prefer the look of a wooden base and, for this reason, decide to install a deck or wooden base over the concrete. Adding an additional wooden frame and wooden base over the concrete can improve insulation, but it is not 100% necessary. Summer houses are a beautiful addition to any garden, so anything like a wooden deck surrounding the summer house is worthwhile.
