WALLS
Sturdy 47mm x 38mm (44mm x 34mm finished) pressure treated framing which is diagonally braced and screwed together before being lined with a white/grey vapour proof lining and clad externally with your choice of:
• 19mm (15mm finished) pressure treated T&G Shiplap
• 22mm (20mm finished) pressure treated T&G Loglap
• 23mm – 6mm pressure treated Weatherboard
FLOOR
19mm (15mm finished) pressure treated T&G on 47mm x 47mm pressure treated joists. Option to upgrade to 22mm (20mm finished) pressure treated T&G if required.
ROOF
• Bursledon – Heavy duty green mineral polyester-based roofing felt is laid atop 16mm (12mm finished) T&G match boarding supported as necessary on sturdy roof purlins. The roof incorporates a unique soffit ventilating system which ensures good airflow within the roof space. Gutters are fitted as standard where proximity to the boundary permits.
HEIGHTS
• Bursledon – There is a generous internal height of 1.98m (6’ 6”) at the lowest point raising to 2.23m (7’ 4”) at the front directly above the doors. All external roof heights comply with the 2.5m maximum height restriction imposed when erecting a building under Permitted Development.
DOORS
All doors are constructed using hemlock for the greatest stability and durability, set in a solid frame with traditional drip-cill and hung on heavy duty butt hinges. There is a choice of chrome, brass or black door furniture and a wide selection of different door styles.
WINDOWS
All models boast plenty of glass to allow light to flood inside your building. The default position – which we are always happy to vary without additional cost where possible – will see a 1.2m (4’) wide double door on the angled section of the building with either 1 (on 6’ x 6’ or 7’ x 7’ models) or 2 (on 8’ x 8’ models and above) fixed windows on the facing flanks.
All windows are fixed although a top-hung opener can be added to any of these windows to increase internal air circulation if desired. There is a choice of different window styles:
• Contemporary – 1.5m (5’) high glazing to allow the maximum amount of light to flood into the building
• Classic – An alternative to Contemporary glazing; available in 1.2m (4’) and 0.9m (3’) variants
• Chalet – Similar to the Contemporary glazing but with the pane split into three to give a more traditional appearance
• Georgian – Traditional 6 pane Georgian doors and windows offer a greater degree of privacy
ALL YEAR ROUND USE
If you are planning on using the building year round then we can fit double glazed units or even fully insulate your new summerhouse at the point of installation.

FAQs for Summer Houses
- Can you build your own summerhouse?Putting together the smaller buildings is quite straightforward, especially if you have a helping hand to shift the panels as you fasten them in place.
Still, take your time and make sure every step is done right, especially when it comes to the roof and felting. A small mistake could let water sneak in and ruin your belongings, which is the last thing you want.
Luckily, 1st Choice offers free installation as part of the package. This not only saves you the heavy lifting but also ensures your summer building is expertly assembled to stand the test of time.
However, as standard, 1st Choice includes free installation of the summer building, including roof felting. This saves you a lot of hard work and ensures the building is correctly constructed and protected from the weather, helping it last a long time.
