Let a square room serve several uses
With 10 x 10 ft under roof, you have a balanced space for seating, crafts or a garden office arrangement, with enough wall length to keep the middle open. These wooden apex-roofed summerhouses may include a corner design. Decide whether the room will be social or practical before choosing furniture, then prepare a level base. Consider summer heat and airflow as part of the placement. The cooling advice is useful for sunny sites.

Build a timber-framed summerhouse yourself£2,884Materials at today's merchant prices, inc VAT
Buying ready-made is about £1,265 cheaper than the materials to build it yourself. Factory-made buildings use lighter framing and thinner boards than a self-build, so building your own makes sense if you want it heavier-duty or a custom size.
The self-build figure uses our standard specification for this type of building, priced from a full materials list: framing, floor, cladding, roof, door and fixings. It excludes tools and your time.
Price a 10 x 10 ft summerhouse in the builderThe base you will need
A 10 x 10 ft summerhouse needs a firm, level base at least 10 x 10 ft. Most guarantees depend on it. A concrete slab or paving lasts longest. A plastic grid filled with gravel is quicker, drains well and needs no concrete.

Planning permission and Building Regulations
- Most garden buildings do not need planning permission in England and Wales if they are behind the front of the house and, with any other outbuildings, cover no more than half the garden.
- Within 2 m of a boundary the whole building, base included, must be no taller than 2.5 m. Further away, the limit is 4 m for an apex roof or 3 m for other roofs, and the eaves must stay under 2.5 m. Check the height on the product page before you order.
- At about 9.3 m², a summerhouse this size is exempt from Building Regulations as long as nobody sleeps in it.
- Sitting, reading or working in a summerhouse is incidental use. Sleeping in it, or using it as an annexe, needs planning permission and Building Regulations approval.
