The garden today is classed as extra living space, somewhere to relax and unwind. garden rooms, summerhouses, log cabins and the gazebo take the concept of extra living space one step further.
The summerhouse not only becomes the focal point of your garden but enable you to enjoy your garden through all the four seasons, whatever the weather.
POSITION FOR YOUR SUMMERHOUSES AND GARDEN ROOMS
Firstly you must decide the position and area you are going to allot for your new Summerhouse or Garden Room and the type of material the building should be constructed of e.g. Deal or Cedar clad.
What design e.g. Octagonal, rectangular or square, with a plain felt roof, a felt shingle roof or a cedar slatted roof in the case of summerhouses and garden rooms.
SUMMERHOUSE CLADDING
There are two main summerhouse cladding types available, Shiplap and Loglap or Logroll as it is sometimes known as.
These have two distinctive profiles, the shiplap is a flat tongue and grooved board with an attractive scallop at the top, whereas the loglap is an oval shaped tongue and grooved board, resembling a smooth log surface.
SUMMERHOUSE BASE BEARERS
Floor bearers are an important and valuable option for your summerhouse as they allow the circulation of fresh air underneath the timber floor and help to keep it dry and sound.
SUMMERHOUSE INSTALLATION
Some summerhouse manufacturers offer an installation service, either as part of the overall deal or as an optional extra.
If you are a competent DIY enthusiast, it is not difficult to erect one of these summerhouses, as they mostly consist of sections which bolt or screw together.
If however you are not very confident in this field, it would be best to have your building installed for you by professional summerhouse erectors.
