There are numerous summer houses for sale in our range which suits different styles and different customers. We have outlined some of our most popular options below.
A corner summer house is perfect for ensuring you make the most of the space in your garden. You can utilise the space at the bottom of your garden to have a larger summer house that fits into the corner. This style means you will not lose as much garden space by adding a summer house to your garden.
We have corner garden houses of various sizes so that they do not overpower your garden space. This type of summer house is often built with floor-to-ceiling windows to let in as much light as possible from all sides.
Natural light is extremely important whether you are using your summer house as somewhere to relax or as an outdoor bar. You will feel the difference with additional outdoor light when sitting in a wooden summer house.
Insulated summer houses are an excellent idea if you are planning to use your summer house as extra living space or as a garden office or hobby room. Although a tongue-and-groove garden building will be sturdy and secure, it will not be weatherproof for everyday life if you live or work in that building.
Insulating your summer house means you will have year-round use of it. Whether as a living space or somewhere to relax, you will not have to worry about your garden house becoming unusable in the colder months.
Log cabin summer houses are very elegant and often have double doors giving you more windows and extra natural light. This range includes some of the larger summer houses that we offer, making them an excellent option for relaxing.
We have installed this option to be used as a home gym, bar and games room, and an office; all were excellent uses of the attractive options we have available in this range.
We know that summer houses are also referred to as shed houses; however, summer house sheds should not be confused as just shed houses. A summer house shed gives you the best of both worlds for garden storage space and somewhere to relax.
This option allows you to have a summer house and a shed for your garden tools, somewhere safe for your lawn mower and other furniture for your outdoor space, without erecting multiple garden buildings.
A pressure-treated summer house is an excellent choice for any customers living in the mainland UK. If you purchase from any of the different styles of pressure-treated summer houses, you will find that your summer house will require far less maintenance than summer houses in our other ranges.
Pressure-treated summer houses will cost more initially when purchasing, even for small summer houses. However, you will save money in the long run as you will not need to pay as much for annual retreatment due to the wood preservative used when making the summer house.
The preservative added to the wood during the manufacture stages of a pressure-treated summer house improves the weather resistance long-term.
There are numerous benefits of installing a summer house in your garden. A summer house can be a year-round quiet retreat with double glazing installed to aid heat retention. The vast majority of summer houses and log cabins available for sale have large windows making smaller spaces seem larger with increased light.
You can use garden houses in Southmead in so many different ways, from an office to an outdoor gym, a pool room and bar, to a playroom for children.

After the initial cost of the summer house has been paid, you can use your summer house for a whole host of reasons and parties, giving you somewhere new to spend your time outdoors.
The cost of a summer house will vary depending on the design and size of the summerhouse you choose to install. If you are looking to buy a summer house, it is always best to check if any companies have a sale on at the time of shopping. Some companies will include the assembly service on wooden summerhouses for free as part of a promotional offer.
You can also try to keep costs below the regular price if you buy a summer house in the end-of-season sale. Few people will shop for a summer house in the winter months, meaning companies will have their product range available for a lower price.
We can help you to choose which is the best garden house for your needs and budget if you contact us for more information. If you have your budget in mind and the type of outdoor building in Southmead, we can help you to find something within our range to fit your needs.
Below are some of the most commonly asked questions when consulting on installation.
The majority of summer houses will not require permission for installation as they will fall into the category of permitted developments for addition to your garden. This means that providing it fits the allowed criteria for a permitted development, you can add to your garden to suit your own needs.
Summer houses are generally named for the shape or style of building that they are. So, an octagonal summer house, corner summer house, or log cabin will be the name of the entire range of houses in that shape or style. You may also see summer houses for sale under the roof type that they have.
It is not possible to live full-time in garden houses unless you have applied for permission for planning from your local council. Although garden houses are a nice place to spend time and you may have the occasional summer sleepover in there, instead of a tent in the garden, you cannot live there full time without more planning.
Summer houses do not have plumbing or heating installed within the regular price or design. So, although you can use them as an add-on to your home, you cannot live there independently without going into your home for cooking or the bathroom.
The cost of building summer houses in the UK will vary based on the shape and size of the building you are purchasing. You can view the regular price of any of our ranges on our website. It is also worth noting that well-built summer houses will add to the resale value of your home up to as much as 15%.
The maximum eaves height without needing permission to install is 2.5 metres, with a maximum overall height of no higher than 4 metres for an apex roof. This is lowered to no higher than 3 metres for a non-dual-pitched roof such as a standard pitched roof.
Other than a height restriction, garden houses cannot be larger than half of your garden size. If you choose a summer house of any design that is more than 50% of your garden space, you will need to apply for permission to build it.
Regulations for any type of shed specify that it cannot be above 15 metres squared in the UK. This applies to all models, brands, and construction types of shed.
There are several aspects at play when deciding how close you wish to build to your fence; the only official regulation is that you must not be within 2 metres of your boundary line. However, experts would recommend that there is a clear space of at least 2 feet around the entire building to allow for airflow and prevent dampness in the wood.

Additionally, we regularly hold sales on some of our most popular summer houses, such as the brand Forest Garden.
We can provide you with advice and support regarding the longevity of the summer houses we offer. If you decide to go with a dip-treated option, you will need to ensure that you complete regular maintenance.
Dip-treated summer houses, unlike pressure-treated options, will not last as long for weatherproofing. So, if you live in an area with extreme weather patterns, you do not need to avoid dip-treated options. However, you should keep in mind that dip-treated buildings will require regular retreatment, which is not included in the regular price of the options on our website.
We offer the best variety of wooden summer houses in Southmead, including tongue and groove designs. Tongue and groove designs are excellent as they give additional strength to the structure. A tongue and groove design has been proven to stand the test of time. The popularity of tongue and groove summer houses remains high, and we pride ourselves on meeting our customers’ needs.
