Summer houses compared: modern and classic designs with prices
A summer house is a room you use from April to October: a reading spot, a place for the kids, somewhere to sit when it rains. Pick the size by what goes inside, not by the garden.

What to look for
- Allow 60cm around the building for treating the walls and clearing gutters.
- Pent roof models sit lower, which helps near a fence or under the 2.5m planning limit.
- Thicker logs (28mm and up) feel solid and keep a little warmth after sunset.
- Untreated timber needs a coat of preserver within a few weeks of building.
