The most common use of a summer house (or garden house) is as a sheltered outdoor lounge area or a sunroom. On a bright, warm day you could have the doors open wide and relax in an armchair in the shade while watching the children play outside. The summerhouse makes a great place to sit during a family party or a barbecue. If the weather turns, not to worry - you are still sheltered and comfortable with a good view of the outdoors.
Summerhouses also provide spectacular views of your garden at night, especially if you have garden lights.
Our BillyOh wooden summerhouses are guaranteed for 10 years against rot, decay and insect infestation. Good maintenance can see these buildings last many years longer than the guarantee.
If you buy a pressure treated summerhouse, the guarantee is extended to 15 years. Pressure treatment is a process where wood preserver is forced deep into the timber by a high-pressure machine. The preservative protects the wood from moisture, rot and insects, keeping it healthier and stronger for longer.
Our wooden summerhouses are built from tongue and groove cladding for an attractive, watertight construction. Many of our models utilise pre-assembled wall panels which are simple to install. However, if your summer house is a log cabin style, it will need to be assembled from individual boards.
We would encourage you to paint and decorate your summer house to truly make it your own. Hang decorations, mount a TV, put down a rug, and enjoy your new garden experience! For decorating inspiration, check out our blog about painting a summer house.
Please note that pressure treated wooden summerhouses should not be painted within 4-6 months of purchase due to the preserver needing to fully dry.
Between size, price, style and treatment, there are a lot of factors to consider when you are looking at a building to transform your garden. Don’t forget to link it all back to how you plan to use the building when all is said and done.
Our garden houses start from less than £800. If you need to budget carefully for your building, we have a range of cheap summerhouses that may be the most accessible for you.
Don’t forget that you can also buy your summerhouse on finance, thanks to our partnership with Novuna. You’ll find all the information below the ‘Add to basket’ section on the product page. As long as your purchase is at least £560 and with a minimum deposit of 10%, finance is available for up to 48 months. For the full terms and conditions you should read our finance page.
The type of roof on your garden house not only affects its aesthetic appeal within the garden, but also affects how much vertical space you have. An apex summer house offers a classic look that will blend with most rustic style gardens, particularly for people with a stone house or a listed building. Due to its raised height at the centre it also provides more internal space overall, in which you could hang extra lighting or decorations.
In contrast, a pent summer house is a more contemporary style that will blend well with any modern garden.
The size of your summer house will depend on what you plan to use it for and how much space you have. Remember that it needs to take up less than half your garden, in order to avoid the planning permission legal process. You can find out more about that in our guide to summerhouse planning permission.
One of the most popular sizes is a 12x8 summerhouse (measured in feet, equating to about 3.6 x 2.4 metres). This size provides ample room for it to be used as a relaxing family lounge area, a garden office, a garden gym, or a host of other purposes.
The best approach is to decide where you would like the summerhouse to stand in your garden and measure the width and length of that space with a tape measure. This will give you an idea of the size range you should be looking at.
We deliver our summerhouses free to most of Great Britain. Delivery charges apply to addresses furthest away from our headquarters in Nottinghamshire, and additional charges will apply to log cabin summerhouses due to the heavier mass of individual logs. You can see a full breakdown of whether delivery charges will apply to you on our delivery information page.
