Summerhouses

Thatched roof and georgian windows add character

Emperor summerhouse in red cedar

All the timber used for our framing is structurally graded and pressure treated.  
Cladding is either in shiplap or loglap, both are in Scandinavian redwood and again pressure treated which means no further preservatives are required.  If preferred any summerhouse can be constructed with western red cedar, please add 60% to the quoted prices.  Other optional extras are listed at the bottom of this page. Examples of previously made summerhouses can be found in the Summerhouse photo gallery.

We are also willing to quote for groundwork, lining and insulating - please telephone  01404-823366 for further details.

Octagonal Summerhouses

An octagonal summerhouse offers an attractive and practical solution for the garden. 

Thatched roof and georgian windows add character

Thatching e.g. 8' x 8' £1000

Their octagonal shape means they can be positioned in a quiet corner, or, alternatively placed as a focal point.  As with all our other summerhouses they can be clad with either shiplap or loglap.

The example shown here was designed for use as a ticket office at a large country show.


Corner Summerhouses

Summerhouse features an optional red cedar shingles roof 8' x 8' Corner Summerhouse

As its name suggests a corner summerhouse is ideal for positioning in an awkward corner of the garden.  Sizes are variable to enable the ideal fit for each location and the intended application -  recreational area, garden equipment storage or a secluded garden workshop. As with all our other summerhouses they can be clad with either shiplap or loglap - window and roofing options means further individuality.
