If you抳e never thought of erecting a corner summer house for your home then why not spare a moment to consider whether or not there is a space in your garden that would be suitable? Because nowadays there is a very wide choice of corner summer houses available and these are specifically designed to take advantage of corner locations where a conventional four square building may not easily fit. Indeed, it is hoped that these few words will quickly show you that with a little extra forethought there is almost always a place for a corner summerhouse in just about every garden, whether it抯 in a traditional country cottage setting or a modern urban chic development with hard landscaping and minimalist planting. In fact manufacturers offer an exciting range of corner summerhouses of every shape, size and colour.

All this choice might at first appear to make it even more difficult to select a corner summer house but if you go about it in the right way, think about your requirements in advance and how these might change over time, you can significantly narrow your range of corner summerhouse options to a list of more manageable proportions. The first thing to do is to measure your chosen location, not forgetting that corner summer houses will require enough extra space to open and close doors and to get things in and out. Try and think about how the light and shade changes at different times of the day and throughout the year too because corner summerhouses are available with all sorts of features like windows, or a shady roof overhang or even a deck with balustrades where you can sit out and relax when the weather permits.

The next thing to think about is the design of your corner summer house because it抯 best to choose something that will sit easily within your existing or planned style of house and garden. You might for instance be impressed by the regal appearance of an oriental style pavilion but will it look right in the back garden of a suburban town house? So go online or visit your local garden centre or DIY superstore and see what kind of corner summerhouses are available that might fit the bill. You抣l find corner summer houses made from timber, metal or even plastic and with a good choice of colours and optional features to suit your needs. The trick here is to match the size, style and features of the corner summerhouse you desire against your available budget, which should leave you with a range of choices to consider.

Many people are attracted by the look and feel of a wooden corner summer house and when choosing this option, remember the environment and picks a corner summerhouse made from FSC-approved timber from renewable forestry resources. Don抰 forget also that timber corner summerhouses, whilst almost invariably being supplied treated against rot and vermin infestation, will still require occasional maintenance and the application of future painting or varnishing, unlike those corner summer houses made from plastic-coated timber if that style suits your taste and budget.
