A spacious summerhouse with a sheltered front porch
At 5m x 4m, this summerhouse offers a generous amount of floor space, built from sturdy 34mm interlocking spruce logs. A 40cm front canopy adds a sheltered porch area — handy for keeping the doorway dry or simply having a covered spot to sit outside.
A half-glazed double door sits alongside a double opening window on the front wall, and the two can be swapped around to suit whichever layout works best for your garden. Built from Northern European spruce chosen for its tight, dense grain, the timber is supplied untreated, so plan to treat it soon after installation, and consider insulation if you want to use the space through the colder months.
Key benefits
- 34mm thick wall logs for a strong, sturdy build
- Door and window positions on the front wall can be swapped to suit your layout
