Corner Cabin Summerhouses

 

Installing a corner summerhouse is the best way to enjoy a small summer house in your garden without taking up unnecessary room. There are a number of benefits to installing a corner summer house, including:

  • Extra space: Installing a corner room will allow you to access more of your garden space.
  • Electrical wiring: Having a outdoor room means that any electrical cables can be run around the side of your garden, close to the fence, meaning you won’t have any unsightly wiring going across your garden.
  • Natural weather protection: A corner summer house will have better natural protection thanks to your fencing, especially if you have trees around the side of your garden.

Summer Houses With Veranda

 

Our insulated outdoor rooms can be designed with indoor and outdoor seating in-mind. Order a summer house with canopy to enjoy cover from the elements, right outside your door. A canopy is the perfect addition to any cabin with a porch, and can protect yourself and guests from both rain and shine thanks to extended coverage across the outside of your new insulated summer house.

Summerhouses with Bi-Fold Doors

 

A room with bi-folding doors allows you to enjoy truly open views whatever the weather. Maximise the natural light in your new garden room with double glazed and durable bi-folding doors to create a spacious and open summer house.


Cabin Master’s bespoke double-glazed summer house rooms are made to our customers' specifications, allowing us to create the perfect summer house for your garden.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Garden Cabins Warm In Winter?

Far from the cold and draughty British summer time, our outdoor rooms are insulated and lined to an excellent standard. When combined with an added electrical pack and heater we ensure your summer house is as warm and cosy as can be, all year long!

 

How Long Do Summerhouses Last?

With the proper care, maintenance, and the high quality timber products used on our garden houses they can last up to and above 10 years.

 

Can You Have a Cabin in a Small Garden?

Cabin Master create luxury summer houses as little as 2m x 2m, meaning no matter how small your garden, you are likely to find a small summerhouse that will suit your space.

What Sort of Base Should a Summerhouse Sit On?

Your summer house should sit in either a concrete base, timber frames, or paving slabs.

Ensuring your summer house has the correct foundations is essential to avoid garden structures sinking into the ground. This will also allow you to properly remove a summer house should the need arise.

Cabin Master’s expert team of builders can discuss the best foundations for your garden when considering a new summer house, contact our team today to start your summer house journey.

 

Does A Summerhouse Add Value To A Property?

Rapidly increase the value of your property without the inconvenience of getting planning permission for extensions or loft conversions by adding a garden house. Recent studies have shown that these investments can add 5% of the value to your home.

How Can I Design My Summerhouse?

  • Position is important: Generally, finding a secluded spot at the far end of the garden will enhance a beautiful retreat, away from everyday life. Find a secluded spot at the far end of the garden and our spacious summerhouses look right at home surrounded by trees, giving it a secluded, middle-of-the-countryside feel.

 

  • Create a calming cabin: Use your multi-purpose summer house to host all kinds of home comforts by decking it out with a sizable bench seating solution that can double as a daybed and keep it filled with cushions to make it all the more comfy. Create a calming and neutral environment by matching the furniture to your personalised summer house design and help keep things cool and feeling serene.

 

  • Mix and Match: Give your garden house more of a relaxed look through a fusion of furniture styles. By incorporating the comfy with the unique, you allow your creative style to flow and turn the unloved into something great!

Do You Need Planning Permission for a Summer House?

 

Most summer houses are considered ‘permitted development’ under UK law, meaning you will not need to seek express permission to build an outhouse in your garden provided you adhere to the following rules:

 

  • The garden room must be at the back or side of your home.
  • Your summer house should not make up more than 50% of your available garden space.
  • Your summer house is no more than 2.5 metres tall if it is within 2 metres of the boundary of your house.
  • The garden house cannot be taller than 4 metres for an apex roof or 3 metres for other roof styles if it is outside of the 2m boundary.

 

It is important to consider that councils or local authorities may have different rules depending on where you are in the UK. If you are concerned about planning permission for your summer house, make sure to contact your local authority or seek advice from local planning departments.

 

Question to go here?

A properly insulated summer house means you can enjoy your new building no matter the weather! Despite the name, summer houses are perfect for springtime get-togethers and cosy winter nights with proper insulation.

Insulated summer houses are also more cost-efficient, as they will retain their heat for longer and potentially reduce your overall energy bill. 

 

How to Design the Perfect Modern Style Summer House

The Summer house has had an overhaul! A traditional summer house is little more than a shed in construction, but a fully insulated garden room from Cabin Master offers so much more. Our buildings are practical and high quality as well as incredibly stylish and unique. Investing in a garden room that has a sleek, modern feel will give you a great space to enjoy your time in your garden.

At Cabin Master we can help you design a garden room that fits you so well, you may never want to leave it! They are a great way to add extra space at home and a British garden classic. A modern garden outhouse creates the opportunity to make space for fun at home, with limitless ways in which you can use the extra room. Our team of experts have so many room design ideas to discuss with you.

Summer house that is light & bright

Space & Light

 

The first thing that you need to do is decide what kind of space you are going to build. When you lay out your space, it is important that you don't create a lot of clutter. Modern garden room design takes full advantage of negative space and architectural form.

Your modern garden cabin layout will use the form of the building to define the overall look, so attention to detail in the design process is extremely important. Many people like to see the architectural elements of the outdoor room, and including as many windows as possible is a good idea. In addition to becoming a design element, your windows will give the space an openness that modern design relies on.

Letting oodles of natural light flow into your outhouse is beneficial on many levels and will make the space seem much larger visually. Bi-fold doors are one option to achieve this effect, but you can also use a wall of fixed windows as well. We can offer you many options when it comes to integrating windows into your garden room, so please don't be afraid to ask us about what we can create for you.

 

Design & Decor

 

Modern design uses fewer objects to create more visual interest, helping you curate a sleek and inviting summer house. When planning your garden cabin, focus on furniture and accessories to shape the room's feel. Well-chosen chairs and couches make a big impact without breaking the bank.

Lighting design is also key. Treat your garden room as a showpiece. Windows will showcase the interior, and lighting can transform the space at night, adding charm to your garden. High-efficiency lighting highlights your space affordably and creates a striking effect.

Accents

 

Small design accents can make a big impact in a modern garden cabin. Use patterned cushions and plants to enhance the space, and choose striking planters. Modern design lets you incorporate abstract art, stylish vases, and unique accessories to create an artistic feel. Don’t forget to choose comfortable furniture for relaxing!
