How to Choose the Perfect Outdoor Building for Your Garden

A new garden building

So you’ve decided on a summerhouse or similar building for the garden. You may have a new house and garden, or you’re just improving the old garden space. And there’s so much choice, so many makes, styles, designs, what will fit? What will look good? What size? What colour? You are trying to imagine yourself out there in the summer and with friends and family. It will be a good place for the children to play and have sleep-outs, or even a space for extra guests on occasion. But what you don’t want to do is swamp the garden by buying something too big or bulky, it has to fit somewhere. By the house or in the corner of the fence, where will be best?

Here is a site with a large collection of models to consider, as well as some helpful information: http://www.corner-summerhouses.co.uk/index.html

Perfect fit?

Corner summer houses are ideal for every garden, especially where there isn’t a lot of space for the new garden building, and also where you want to save open space in the garden for other things. Corner summer houses fit in nicely with most gardens, even smaller ones, and they come in a range of sizes and shapes to suit everyone.
Corner summerhouses are surprisingly spacious, and they fit well into neglected or unwanted corners, giving you less gardening to do and instantly improving the look and quality of the garden. So, what’s the next step? Asking the experts is a good step, they can offer measurements and sizes, advice as to what will fit and what will look good and what will be best for your plans: www.norfolksheds.co.uk – https://www.norfolksheds.co.uk/summer-houses/summerhouses/corner-summerhouses.html

Decisions

There are so many wonderful styles of summer house to choose from. Small with one door and up to six sides, large windows or smaller windows, medium sized with one or two doors or folding doors, peaked or flat roofs, hexagonal or square. All shapes and sizes and styles, from plain to fancy, you can even get a summer house with shed unit, or even a pool summer house if you have a swimming pool. All available in corner styles. So, you will find the summer house that you can imagine as perfectly yours, although this may be after some debate with the family.
Open summerhouses – ideal for BBQ parties, are available. You can also get fitted seating and shelving, electricity, lighting and heating are other options to consider as you choose the ideal purchase for your garden. It may take a while to decide what you want.

Don’t forget the decor

A summer house is effectively a new room, a garden room, and you will have to start thinking about the furniture and decor, and there are so many options. Light colours and light furniture are best for a small space, as a rule:

Things to discuss with the sellers

The price, of course, is a good thing to discuss, as, at certain times of year there may be sales, or discounts on certain lines. Prices can range from hundreds to thousands, and you can sometimes get very similar models at very different prices.
Another good point is whether the building has been given treatment to protect it from the weather or if you will have to do that, untreated wood can soon start to suffer and look bad as well as deteriorate if it isn’t treated.

Planning permission is rarely needed, depending on the size and height and what the building is to be used for, but you may want to just check with the supplier.
Other questions include guarantee, all garden buildings will have some guarantee.
It is important as well to find out about delivery and assembly for your summer house, times and costs of delivery and installation may be something that you haven’t thought about, as well as access to the property for the work to be done.

And when all the details are clear and your summerhouse is delivered and assembled, sit back, relax and enjoy it.
