A distinctive apex-roof summerhouse with a light, airy feel
With its steep pitched roof and low side walls, this 3.5m x 3m summerhouse has a look that stands apart from a typical garden building. The high, tented ceiling opens up the space and makes it feel far bigger than the footprint suggests, while a fully glazed gable door and a bank of two opening side windows keep it bright throughout the day.
It suits a wide range of uses — garden storage, a quiet reading room, a home-working space, or simply a spot to relax away from the house. Three solid walls leave plenty of room to arrange furniture, while the glazed door and windows do the work of filling the interior with natural light.
Built from slow-grown spruce for a tight, dense grain, the summerhouse is supplied untreated so you can finish it in a stain, paint, or protective fluid that suits your garden.

Tip: the standard felt roof typically lasts 2-3 years. Upgrading to roofing shingles costs more upfront but can last 15+ years, so it's worth considering for a lower-maintenance, more polished finish.
Great for
A good fit if you want a garden building with real character rather than a standard box shape — equally at home as a storage room, a quiet retreat, or a compact home office.
