The primary difference lies in design and purpose. While a standard shed is built for utility and hidden storage, summer house sheds feature larger windows and glazed doors to maximize natural light. They are designed as an aesthetic focal point for the garden, intended for relaxation, dining, or hobbies rather than just stashing garden tools.
Yes! Many people use their summer house sheds as dual-purpose buildings. During the colder months, they are perfect for storing garden furniture, cushions, and potted plants that need protection from the frost. To keep your items in top condition, ensure the building is well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup.
Most summer house sheds are made from timber and require treatment to prevent rot and decay. If your building is "dip-treated," you should apply a high-quality wood preservative annually. If it is "pressure-treated," the preservative is forced deep into the wood fibers, offering longer-lasting protection, though a UV-resistant topcoat is still recommended to maintain the color.
A level and stable base is essential to prevent the frame from warping, which can cause doors and windows to stick. A level concrete base or paving slabs are the most popular choices. For a quicker installation, a timber pressure-treated base frame or a plastic grid system filled with gravel can also provide excellent drainage and support.
While they feature more glass than a standard shed, you can certainly make them secure. We recommend choosing models with toughened glass and upgrading to a high-quality mortice lock. Adding internal blinds or curtains is also a great way to keep your belongings out of sight when you aren't using your garden retreat.
