Location & Compliance

Once you've chosen your garden summer house, you'll need to decide on where to place it. Ensure the ground is level and offers enough space to place the structure. Also, consider local Planning Permission and Building Regulations, which are especially relevant for larger summer houses.

Don’t let uncertainty prevent you from enjoying our wide range of summer houses for sale. Review our FAQ section for answers on everything from installation to maintenance.

What is the difference between a multi-room log cabin and a summer house?

Both garden house styles are designed for year-round use, offering multiple functional spaces, such as storage and offices. They are also capable of withstanding various weather conditions during any season. Here is how they differ: 

• Summer houses are smaller than multi-room log cabins and feature a lighter design, large windows and lightweight materials. This makes small summer houses ideal for relaxation and occasional use. 
• Multi-room log cabins are larger, more robust and built with thicker walls from interlocking logs, providing enhanced insulation and durability. They are perfect for long-term storage or extra living space.  

What type of maintenance is required for a garden building?

To keep your summer house in top condition year-round, follow these simple maintenance steps:

• Apply a weatherproof treatment to the exterior at least once a year. In areas with heavy rainfall, reapply every six months. 
• Inspect for wear and tear regularly. Check the roof for leaks, re-seal windows if needed and look for any signs of damage.

How does your professional installation process work?

The installers will arrive with all the tools required for the installation. Ensure that the site is cleared and the base is prepared beforehand unless you have arranged with the installers to handle it. They will also need access to a power supply.

Will the installation of a summer house require planning permission?

Generally, you won't require planning permission for your new building, but there are some exceptions. It's always a good idea to check local regulations before you begin the installation of your new summer house.

Fortunately, the government’s Planning Portal provides a detailed guide, including information on building regulations depending on the size and purpose of the structure.

Do you offer protective roof coverings?

Yes, you can choose from felt shingles or EPDM rubber covering to protect your summer house from the elements. 

• Felt shingles come in a variety of colours, offering a classic look and reliable protection.
• EPDM rubber offers the ultimate protection at a slightly higher price, providing superior durability and longevity throughout the seasons. These are available as an optional add-on to further enhance the longevity of your log cabin. 

Do your summer log cabins come with a warranty?

Each type of cabin offers a different warranty that depends on the specific manufacturer. Simply visit this page to learn more about the various types of warranties applicable to your chosen cabin. Our summer log cabins have a standard two-year warranty, which can be extended to five years if needed.

Which type of summer house is best for garden furniture storage?

Our larger summer house cabins, like the Grande, Clockhouse and Trentino, are ideal for storing garden furniture and supplies. Homeowners can enjoy plenty of space for storage coupled with durable materials to protect their belongings from rain, wind and heat. Plus, the convenient double doors make transferring furniture from outdoors much easier.

Can you install electricity and plumbing in wooden summer houses?

Yes, installing electricity and plumbing in a wooden summerhouse is possible. However, this usually requires professional installation and adherence to local building regulations. We can assist you with finding a local professional contractor to install your new garden summerhouse. Alternatively, you can find a cabin installer near you.

How do I know my summer house is durable?

Our tongue and groove design is constructed with wooden boards with interlocking ridges and slots. This makes these garden rooms stronger, more stable, and better at keeping out drafts and moisture. It also looks smooth and is easier to assemble.  

Are summer houses waterproof? 

While outdoor summer houses are designed to be weather-resistant, they are not always waterproof. Proper roof maintenance and treating the timber is important to keep them waterproof. We also have the option of EPDM and roof shingles to help safeguard your summer house against water damage. 

Do you offer self-build summer house kits?
