Wooden Summer Houses - All the Information You'll need


A wooden summer house is so much more than a storage shed, yet to the uneducated they're remarkably similar. Both of them have four sides along with a roof, both are found in the garden, both have a door from the outside world, so what I hear you ask, may be the difference? A wooden summer house is extra time to a house, a place that may be visited to relax and to entertain, not merely to keep rusty tools like the garden shed.

Another main difference of course is the price, for wooden summer houses are not cheap. They cost a substantial amount of money so it's vital that you choose one having a design which will appeal for a number of years and also is constructed material that will withstand the harshest of winters.

Regardless of whether you construct your own wooden garden house or buy one in, you will likely need planning permission. Every local authority is different so depending on where you are you may get lucky, but either way its smart to double check prior to the building begins. There'd be nothing worse than wasting all that money by having to drag summer time house down on the orders of the local council.

It is important that you think off the various factors before you begin the build. Below is a listing of tips to think about:

Regulations - As stated before, check local building regulations with the relevant authorities.

Foundations - No matter size, all wooden summer houses will need foundations. This will help avoid the floor from rotting and also give it a slight elevation.

Materials - Make sure you choose a hardy wood that will not rot quickly and isn't prone to attack from mites or similar. Western red cedar is popular, out of the box oak.
