Summerhouse & Garden Pergola

Outdoor living for the warmer months — summerhouses, gazebos and pergolas, made to your size.

A summerhouse is a room for the garden — somewhere to sit out of the sun or the rain, with the doors open onto the lawn. Whether you write it summerhouse or summer house, it is the same building. A gazebo or pergola does the same job with a more open frame.

All made to your size, in solid timber. Furnish a garden summer house as a retreat, or use a pergola to make an outdoor room for summer evenings. An insulated summer house stretches that to most of the year rather than three months of it — see how much insulation a garden building needs.

  • Garden retreat — a quiet room to read, sit or work from in the warmer months.
  • Entertaining — a covered space for summer meals and evenings out.
  • BBQ and dining — shelter for the grill and the table, whatever the weather.
  • Corner of the garden — corner models tuck into a boundary and save space.

Summerhouses

An enclosed room with windows and a door, from about 3 × 3 m to 5 × 3 m, and larger to your plan. Corner models fit into a boundary; add a side shed for the mower and tools, or a veranda to sit under.

Garden gazebos

A freestanding covered structure, open or part-open to the garden. From 3 × 3 m to 5 × 3 m and larger to fit your garden, with the option of a semi-closed room built in. Shade in summer, shelter in a shower.

Garden pergolas

An open timber frame for an outdoor room — seating, dining, or a spot for the hot tub. From 5 × 3 m to 6 × 6 m and larger to fit your garden, open-roofed or with a solid roof to keep the rain off.

Summerhouse layouts

Each one opens in our free floor-plan tool as a starting point — move the walls to suit your plot, change the room names, then send it over for a price.

Full project customisation

A summerhouse is an enclosed room with windows and a door — a garden retreat you can furnish. A gazebo is a freestanding covered structure, open or part-open, for shade and shelter. A pergola is an open frame, often with a slatted or solid roof, for an outdoor seating or dining area. We make all three to your size.

A summerhouse is made for the warmer months, but it need not sit empty in winter. Add insulation, glazing and a heater and it works well into spring and autumn. For true year-round use, a garden room or annexe is the better choice.

We offer apex (double-pitched), pent (single-pitched), hip, and flat roof styles depending on the building range. The choice of roof style affects both the aesthetic and the internal head height, and may also influence planning considerations.

Our team can advise on the most appropriate option for your plot and intended use.

Absolutely. We offer a wide range of customisation options including dimensions, door and window placement, roof style (apex, pent, or hip), internal layout, cladding finishes, and colour treatment.

For larger or commercial projects, fully bespoke designs are available — please contact us to discuss your requirements.
