It’s not a shed; it’s a summer house! There’s a world of difference! The summer house has a very specific purpose. It’s there to help you make the most of your summers. Just look at it: it’s not utilitarian in any way; although we’ll willingly concede that it’ll make a great winter store for your summer parasols and picnic tables!
So what is it that distinguishes a summer house from any other garden outhouse?
Design. Good design speaks for itself, and a well designed summer house has got plenty to say. See for yourself. You’ll find elegantly fashioned redwood timbers, classic pine and whitewashed walls; intricate tongue and groove cladding and heaps of design savvy. You’ll find styrene glazed windows and large, light airy spaces. You’ll find seemingly infinite variety and stylistic variation: classic, quaint and cutting edge. What’s your look? Straight out of the American south, guaranteed to get you painting your encapsulated picket fence with pride? Or is it Georgian elegance and old English charm - classic style and sophistication that won’t ever fade away?
With their big double doors and wide, expansive windows, summer houses are made to be opened out, made to be ‘lived in,’ and above all, made to be used – all summer long. Fortunately, what used to seem like a pretty regimented six month summer sun can now last anything up to nine whole months! Even the unpredictable English seasons can more or less guarantee sunny days, warm nights and plenty of opportunities to take it easy in the garden, from March right the way through to November.
Having your own summer house is a bit like having instant access to your own little piece of laid back Mediterranean living. When the sun comes out, you’ll want to make the most of it. You’ll want to sit on your summer house veranda and sip a cocktail, cast a lazy eye over a book or just wallow in the warmth of the afternoon. Easy living! And just to make it even easier, you’ll find your ideal summer house is easy to order, and easy to assemble, making it easier than ever to start taking it easy!
More than any other garden feature, a summer house will give you greater access to your own garden, perhaps because it will become such an integral part of your garden. It will be the hub of your summer lifestyle. After all, it’s the perfect summer dining room; even a perennial barbeque room. Barbequed turkey next December 25th? Why not; no one can resist the charms of the bespoke ‘barbie’ room/summer house!
With a summer house you can even enjoy a summer away day without ever leaving home! Pack a picnic, perhaps a bottle of wine and a few good books and you’re all set for a day out with a difference.
If you love summer make the most of it.
If you love the outdoor life; live it!
