Summerhouses

A summerhouse is a glazed timber building intended for sitting in rather than storing things. Expect double doors, opening windows and a finish worth painting. If you want to use it in winter you will need insulation and, in most cases, an electricity supply — check whether the retailer offers either before comparing prices.

Buying advice for summerhouses

  • Glazing matters: toughened glass costs more than styrene but is far safer around children.
  • Consider orientation — a summerhouse facing south-west catches evening sun in most UK gardens.
  • Factory-painted models cost more up front but save two days of work and several tins of paint.
