Carefully crafted luxury, made from the very best hardwood means that our garden rooms are an impeccable addition to any garden space. Providing shelter from the sun, or the even occasional showers of a UK summertime, our garden rooms provide a superb extension to your home. Summer, winter, spring or autumn, your house will feel more like a home with the addition of a garden building retreat.
A summer house is an outdoor structure designed to enhance your outdoor space. Typically designed in timber, a summer house is flexible to provide a cool, shaded place to retreat from the summer heat, or a cosy hideaway for chilly spring and autumn days. With a multitude of different uses, our buildings are flexible contemporary spaces; ideal for use as a craft room, yoga studio or gym, or even as outdoor bar, a summer house provides a unique and beautiful space for an idyllic garden upgrade. You can also add supplementary security and aesthetic features. Choose a glass fibre effect or cedar shingle roof, additional windows, or glazed doors to create a light-filled space.
Scotts garden buildings are designed in a range of shapes and sizes. Small and traditional, our Balmoral summer house offers the perfect fit for a garden of any dimensions. Or you might want to make a splash with a sophisticated Newhaven corner summer house.
Whatever the season, our luxury summer houses can be enjoyed comfortably all year round enabling you to spend more time relaxing in your own, personal garden paradise. Store your garden furniture inside it during the winter and set it up again when summer returns and you are able to spend more time outside the house.
All Scotts garden buildings are built with craftsmanship using premium high-quality sustainably sourced hardwood which means they are exceptionally durable and hardwearing. You can view our range of garden summer house designs, colours, shapes, and sizes here.
In modern times, the way we enjoy our gardens has continuously evolved. A summer house effectively represents an extension to your home and can be used for whatever you desire. Depending on the size and location of your garden building, it could be a great place for indulging in your favourite hobbies such as painting, crafting, or keeping fit in your own home gym. It could become your favourite entertaining space or a place to work quietly undisturbed. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
We offer free-standing seating consisting of self-contained storage boxes upholstered in beautiful premium fabrics. Alternatively, you can simply arrange your own furniture to create a summer house that perfectly meets your needs.
You might find the summer to be the best time to take a look at your house and garden and evaluate how you could improve your property with a multi-function summer house.

Summer houses and garden buildings are regarded as ‘permitted development’ so they do not usually require planning permission, although some criteria apply. While we cannot provide definitive advice on whether planning permission is required in each individual circumstance, we hope that these guidelines will assist you.
*The guidelines are intended to give an overview of regulations which may be subject to changes in legislation. We recommend that you contact your local planning authority for specific advice.
Summer houses and garden buildings all require a firm base constructed on a level surface to promote their stability and longevity. You will need to obtain the base plan for your choice of summer house from Scotts before the base is constructed to ensure that the size and dimensions are appropriate.
Alternatively, Scotts offer an innovative and convenient ground screw base that will provide the perfect support for your summer house on an uneven surface. Find out more about our ground screw base here.
Your new garden building can be installed anywhere in your garden. Below we look at some of the factors you should consider before making your decision. Think about whether you would like your summer house to be:
The view from your house in summer is different from the same aspect when the trees are bare of leaves. Make sure that you will always be able to see your summer house from the windows, or deliberately position it to remain hidden.
The external cladding, wall framing, roof, doors, and windows are manufactured from stable, durable, and dense Red Grandis, a premium quality, sustainably sourced hardwood timber derived from well-managed forests.
The floor is manufactured from high quality PEFC® certified European Redwood which is vacuum pressure impregnated with Osmose Naturewood.
All timber is carefully selected to deliver a maximum lifespan and to create a premium outdoor living space.
