Summer houses: garden luxury for all occasions

The UK may not be renowned for great weather, but Garden Adventure's range of attractive summer houses can ensure you get the most from your garden all-year-round. During the warmer months of the year, a summer house forms an ideal base for all garden activities, ranging from family games to BBQs to simply kicking back with a good book. In colder climes, our robust and often double-glazed summer houses will keep you snug and warm for any occasion.

Summer house or log cabin ?

Garden Adventure's range of summer houses is largely interchangeable with our log cabins - how you use and furnish these stunning garden buildings is up to you.

Larger, open-plan log cabins with plenty of scope for versatility tend to be the most suitable options for summer houses.

Relaxing, working, storage

Our summer houses, made from high quality timber logs, can be adapted for a wide range of uses when not the focus of communal gatherings or relaxation.

For example, home workers can convert their summer houses into fully-equipped and heated garden offices where the lack of distractions is combined with a relaxing setting. When not in everyday use, summer houses also double up as handy garden sheds offering extra storage space. More adventurous property owners, meanwhile, could choose to turn their summer house into a soothing sauna room.

Tailored summer houses

Find the garden building that best meets your requirements with our handy Summer House Wizard. This allows you to enter the required width and depth of your summer house, as well as the necessary log width, before it produces a list of suitable options for your perusal.

Once you have selected a summer house, you must also decide whether to opt for our stylish and practical roofing shingles. While complementing the appearance of your summer house, these also provide necessary weather-proofing. Customers also often have the option of adding an attractive veranda.

Summer house buyers should consider whether to include insulation. This should depend on what the summer house is to be used for and whether it will be used throughout the year.

Some of our most popular summer houses include:

Clovelly Log Cabin

An attractive canopy and set of double doors make this an ideal summer house for relaxing both inside and out. Its compact size means the Clovelly is a great option for homeowners aiming to reap maximum enjoyment from their garden.

Helston Log Cabin

Like all our summer houses (unless otherwise stated), the Helston is supplied with attractive tongue and groove flooring. Boasting double-glazed windows and doors, this lovely summer house is suitable for use throughout the year.

Putting up a summer house

While summer house buyers can erect the structures themselves with the aid of our detailed instructions, Garden Adventure also offers a nationwide installation service for the summer houses we sell.

UK planning permission

Homeowners are advised to contact their local planning authority if they are in doubt about the rules relating to their summer house or other garden buildings. They can also consult the UK government's Planning Portal where the general guidelines for England are set out.

More options

In addition to our summer houses and log cabins, Garden Adventure offers multi-room log houses, stylish pavilions, timber garages and African thatched gazebos for your garden.
