In most cases, no. Garden summerhouses usually fall under "permitted development," provided they are single-story, have a maximum eaves height of 2.5m, and don't take up more than 50% of your garden space. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, it’s always best to check with your local council first.
While traditionally designed for warmer months, you can definitely upgrade garden summerhouses for year-round use. By choosing a model with thicker timber walls and adding professional floor and roof insulation, you can keep the space warm during the winter. Pairing this with double glazing ensures your office remains quiet and energy-efficient.
To keep your summerhouse looking its best, you should apply a high-quality, water-repellent wood stain or paint shortly after installation. This protects the timber from UV rays and moisture. We recommend a quick annual inspection to touch up any weathered spots, ensuring your garden retreat stays rot-free for decades.
Quality is key when it comes to glazing. Most premium garden summerhouses use toughened safety glass as standard. This is much stronger than regular horticultural glass and, in the unlikely event it does break, it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards—making it much safer for families with children or pets.
Airflow is the secret to a healthy summerhouse. Ensure your building is installed on a raised base to allow air to circulate underneath. During the winter, it’s a good idea to open the windows occasionally on dry days or install small trickle vents to keep the air fresh and prevent moisture from settling on your furniture.
