Small Summerhouses
When space in your garden is tight, a small summerhouse is the easy way to add a retreat to a compact garden without giving up half your lawn. Our smaller models—from 7x7ft up—deliver the same light-filled feel and solid tongue & groove cladding as our larger buildings, just on a footprint that fits a courtyard, patio or modest back garden.
Every model is UK-made and backed by a 10-year anti-rot guarantee (15 years with pressure treatment). Browse the range below, or read on for help choosing the right size for your space.
Why choose a small summerhouse?
Not every garden has room for a large building, and not everyone needs one. A small summerhouse gives you a dedicated spot to relax, read or enjoy the garden while leaving plenty of open space around it. Because they take up less ground, they’re also easier to position and quicker to build.
Making the most of a compact footprint
- Measure before you buy. Note the space available and leave room to walk around the building for assembly and maintenance.
- Consider a corner design. If your only spare space is a corner, a corner summerhouse tucks into a 90-degree angle and uses ground a rectangular building would waste.
- Watch the budget. Smaller buildings are often the most affordable—see our cheap summerhouses for the best-value options.
