Wooden 12x8 Summerhouses

A wooden 12x8 summerhouse provides a natural-looking addition to the garden and can be used for a wide variety of purposes. Wood works particularly well for garden buildings because it can be maintained, treated and personalised over time while blending easily with fencing, planting and other outdoor features.

Timber Shed’s 12x8 Summerhouses are made from slow grown Scandinavian Redwood, which can be completed with exterior paint, stain or treated with a timber treatment to protect the summerhouse from the elements. The interior of the summerhouse can be arranged and fitted out with seating, storage, shelving and other furniture to create the perfect garden retreat.

Pent 12x8 Summerhouses

A pent 12x8 summerhouse features a single sloping roof, creating a clean and contemporary profile. This roof style is a popular choice for people who prefer a more modern garden building or want a design that works naturally alongside fencing, landscaping and other outdoor structures.

Pent summerhouses are available with different door and window positions, allowing the layout to be chosen around the way the building will be accessed and used. A side-positioned entrance can leave more uninterrupted wall space for furniture or shelving, while a central door creates a balanced focal point from the front.

Glazed doors and windows also help bring natural light into the interior, making the space pleasant for relaxing, reading, hobbies or occasional work.

Apex 12x8 Summerhouses

Apex 12x8 summerhouses feature more classic designs that offer a spacious interior, with the roof height in the middle of the building. They are perfect for larger gardens, with patio areas and for contemporary gardens where a traditional roofline can be beneficial.

The roof of an apex summerhouse is much taller in the centre than at the sides, creating a triangular peak to the building. This creates a feeling of height and space within the summerhouse.

This style of summerhouse is for customers looking for a garden retreat, a hobby room or a summerhouse with seating in a more conventional timber building. As with the pent style summerhouses, the door and window positions can be altered to create the ideal summerhouse for your needs.

12x8 Garden Summerhouses for Relaxing and Hobbies

A summerhouse can be used in many different ways depending on how you want to make use of your garden. Comfortable seating can create a quiet place for reading or relaxing, while a desk or work surface can turn the building into an occasional workspace or hobby area.

Choosing a 12x8 Summerhouse Layout

When choosing a 12x8 summerhouse, the roof style isn’t the only thing to consider. The position of the doors and windows will play a role in how you use the interior of the summerhouse. It’s also worth noting the orientation of the summerhouse for easy and practical access.

Before making the decision on a 12x8 summerhouse, bear in mind the position of the summerhouse in relation to the rest of your garden. It is also important to prepare a suitable level base and allow appropriate access around the building for installation and future maintenance.
