Q: Are summer houses warm in winter?

Our summerhouses are generally only designed for usage 6-9 months of the year . This is because the 11mm thick walls do not provide ample insulation to keep warmth in during the chillier months. You do have a couple of options, though - we offer thicker walls (up to 44mm) on our log cabin summerhouses , which means they keep a lot more heat in. Alternatively, you can install your insulation in your summerhouse

Q: Do you need planning permission for a summer house?

Usually no, unless you're planning to live in it . It has to meet certain regulations, such as not being in your front garden, not being closer than 2m to your house and not being over a certain height, but we've designed all of our summerhouses so that they don't break any planning permission rules on our end.

As well as the obvious answers (opening windows, installing ventilation), installing insulation can actually work in favour of keeping your summerhouse cool as well as warm in the winter. That's because it'll keep colder air in even on super warm days, providing an effective solution to stifling heat in summer.

Anything that ensures that no moisture can be absorbed by the main wooden structure will suffice. Any potential moisture that soaks into the main wooden structure of the building can contribute to damp growth, rot and decay.
