What size are small summer houses?

It is a good question! Broadly, we classify our summer houses into the following two sizes:

  • Small – between 6'x4' and 10'x8' and
  • Large – between 10'x8' and 17'x12'

Therefore, our focus here will be on summer houses up to 10’x8’. Popular small summer house sizes are 7’x5’, 8’x6’, and 10’x8’. If you want to view larger summer houses, click this link.

It is always important to choose a summer house that will enhance your garden space and not dominate it. Additionally, when calculating the size, you have available we recommend leaving two feet of space around the summer house to be able to undertake maintenance, this space is also essential for the opening of windows and doors.

Small garden houses overview

When you choose Buy Sheds Direct you will be buying from top-quality manufacturers such as Forest Garden, Mercia, Shire, and Traditional. Sturdily made from premium-quality timber the cladding will be either overlap, tongue and groove, or shiplap tongue and groove.

Our dip treated summer houses have up to ten years of anti-rot guarantee, whereas our pressure treated versions all enjoy a fifteen year guarantee. With some summer houses (e.g., 6' x 8' Traditional Broadway Wooden Summer House), the dip treated model is sold as standard but can be upgraded to pressure treated with a fifteen year guarantee. Roofing options include apex, reverse apex, pent and flat, which give different cost and styling options.

Can I buy mini summer houses?

Yes! There is no “hard and fast” rule about what size mini summer houses need to be. In our opinion though, mini summer houses would be a maximum of either 6’x4’ or 4’x6’. Buying this size has the advantages of having a lower price and also needing less garden space. We have one summer house of this size, a 6' x 4' Forest Oakley Double Door Apex Summer House. This is a great buy and comes complete with a fifteen year guarantee within the price!

Filling a garden corner

A number of the small garden houses featured here nicely fill a garden corner and maximise your garden space. These small garden houses are typically either square or octagonal in shape. The symmetry of our 6’x6’, 7’x7’, 8’x8’ and 9’x9’ summer houses will neatly fill an unused corner and all are part of our summer houses for small gardens range. Many corner summer house owners also benefit from a panoramic vantage point view of the entire garden from the summer house. View our complete range of corner summer houses here.

What are the potential uses?

Small garden houses are a great addition and even though space is more restricted than larger models they can be used for various purposes. Use them as a garden studio for crafting, writing, and hobbies. They also make a pleasant environment for a home office and running a home business. They could also be used as a gym - an area for exercise, yoga, and meditation. These are just a few ideas of potential uses, there are many others too!
