Looking to put a summerhouse in this year, one with a gazebo on the side for a covered seating area.

Just wondered if anyone had any brands they would recommend or suggest avoiding please?

This is the sort of thing we're looking at.

Are you bothered about it being insulated?

If so and you're planning on spending any time in it, I'd be looking at a SIPS kit. OK, it doesn't have a connected shelter, and you'll need to budget for upvc door/roof covering/cladding, but the base kit is under half the price of that log cabin

We plumped for a kit from Lugarde ten years back, almost to the day. Very happy with it.

Not particularly bothered about it being insulated. No plans to use it in the winter. The SIPS kit looks interesting though, but presumably that kit doesn't include any external cladding.

This is a Dunster kit we built for a client.

I have a couple of Dunster buildings in my garden - a dutch barn shed and their tiled gazebo. Both are perfect tbh and were not too onerous to erect with just two of us. Personally very happy to recommend the company. hth

I've got a Tuin log cabin that's been up for a few years now and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
