Why a summerhouse?

A summerhouse is a garden building with its own unique charm.

A place for a peaceful retreat, a getaway. Tucked away in a silent spot, a summerhouse is an ideal addition to your garden if you’re looking for small and unpretentious space from where you can admire the changing seasons in quiet comfort.

Summerhouses come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They’re perfectly suited as places of quiet reflection, for those rare moments of solitude, for reading, listening to music, or conversing with a friend. A summerhouse can also be a place of entertainment, for larger numbers, and a shelter from the heat of the day or the evening chill.

The right choice of summerhouse will add a charming aesthetic to your outdoor space. The traditional summerhouse is made from wood, with a pitched roof and round or polygonal body, conjuring up flavours of the Victorian folly.

You and visitors to your garden can’t fail to be drawn to the homely charm of a timber summerhouse, with its invitation to withdraw from the world and be still for a while within its aromatic warmth and calm.

As the name suggests, a summerhouse tends to get most of its use during summer, or at least when the weather starts to warm up in spring. But with the right choice of insulation and double glazing, and even the addition of some heating, the summerhouse can easily become a space for year-round enjoyment.

You’re inside in the outdoors, protected by timber and glass, immersed in the warmth and natural aromas of the cedar surrounding you.
