Choosing the Right Summer House for Your Epsom Garden
After working with garden buildings since 1979, I have learnt that choosing the right summerhouse starts with deciding exactly what you want the building to do. Somewhere to relax and enjoy the garden during warmer weather has very different requirements from a home office, hobby room, studio or building you expect to use regularly throughout the year. If you are comparing summer houses in Epsom, decide on the intended use first and then compare the size, construction and specification needed to suit it.
I also recommend measuring the available garden space carefully before ordering. Mark the proposed footprint on the ground and allow sufficient room around the building for installation and future maintenance. Consider where the doors will open, which direction the glazing will face and how furniture will fit inside. A well-positioned summerhouse can be more enjoyable and useful than simply choosing the largest building that will physically fit.
What Should You Compare Before Buying a Summer House?
My advice is to compare the complete construction rather than headline price alone. Two summerhouses can look remarkably similar online but be quite different when you examine the timber, framing, walls, floor, roof, doors and glazing. These details often explain why one building costs more than another and whether the additional specification represents worthwhile value for the way you intend to use it.
It is equally important to understand exactly what is included. Professional installation or assembly is included or available on applicable principal ranges, depending on the individual product, delivery area, and suitable access and base requirements. Always check the specification of your chosen building before ordering so you know precisely what is included and what preparation is required.
Which Type of Summer House Is Best for Your Epsom Garden?
Traditional Summer Houses
A traditional timber summerhouse can be ideal if you mainly want somewhere attractive to relax, read, entertain friends or enjoy the garden during warmer weather. You can compare the different sizes, styles and specifications within our complete summer house range.
Insulated Summer Houses
If you intend to work from the building, use it as a hobby room or studio, or spend considerable time inside during colder periods, insulation becomes much more important. Our insulated summer houses include options intended for customers wanting greater comfort and more regular use throughout the year.
Corner Summer Houses
A corner summerhouse can make excellent use of an otherwise awkward part of the garden while preserving more of the central lawn or patio. The angled frontage can also provide an attractive view back across the garden. Browse our corner summer houses if this layout suits your Epsom garden.
Painted Summer Houses
A painted summerhouse can complement your home, fencing, planting and landscaping and help the building feel more integrated into its surroundings. Our painted summer houses include different designs, finishes and specification options depending on the individual range.
Summer Houses With Shed Storage
If you need somewhere attractive to relax but still require practical garden storage, a combination building can provide both within one footprint. Our summer houses with shed storage combine leisure space with a separate area for tools, bicycles, garden furniture and other equipment.
Why My Experience With Garden Buildings Matters
I’m Robin Antill, founder of 1st Choice Leisure Buildings. I left school at 15 and started my first garden building business in 1979, trading as Marina Sheds. Those early years gave me practical experience in making, selling, and supplying timber garden buildings, and taught me to look closely at how a building is constructed rather than judging it simply by an attractive photograph or a cheap headline price.
I sold Marina Sheds in 1990, although unfortunately I did not receive all the money I was due from the sale. It was a difficult business lesson, but it certainly did not end my involvement with garden buildings.
In 1992 we expanded beyond sheds by adding summerhouses, garages, garden rooms and log cabins. That wider direction led to a change of name to Titan Garden Buildings. My son Craig joined me in 1992 after studying carpentry at Guildford College from 1990, bringing practical woodworking knowledge and an understanding of timber construction into the business.
We sold Titan Garden Buildings in 1998. In 2000, Craig and I decided that rather than manufacture everything ourselves, we would retail quality garden buildings from selected manufacturers. That decision led to the formation of 1st Choice Leisure Buildings and allowed us to compare different manufacturers, specifications and price points rather than trying to make one manufacturer’s range suitable for everybody.
Today Craig runs the day-to-day business, and I am there to support him and the team as required. More than four decades around garden buildings has taught me that experience is most useful when it helps customers understand the differences between products and choose the specification that is right for them rather than automatically selecting either the cheapest or most expensive option.
See Summer Houses Near Epsom Before You Buy
Whenever practical, I recommend seeing garden buildings before making a substantial purchase. Photographs and specifications are useful, but they cannot fully show the feel of a timber floor, the strength of the framing, the quality of the doors, internal headroom or how substantial one building feels compared with another.
Customers from Epsom are welcome to visit our Surrey garden building display site at Sutton Green near Guildford and Woking. We have a large selection of representative garden buildings available to inspect, although the exact models on display can change, so it is sensible to check beforehand if you particularly want to see a certain building.
Summer Houses Epsom – Quick Answers
Do You Supply Summer Houses in Epsom?
Yes. We supply a wide selection of summer houses to customers in Epsom and surrounding areas, including traditional, contemporary, corner, painted and insulated designs. Professional installation or assembly is included or available on applicable ranges, depending on the individual building, delivery location, and access and base requirements.
Can I See Summer Houses Near Epsom Before Buying?
Yes. Customers from Epsom can visit our Surrey display site at Sutton Green near Guildford and Woking. Seeing representative buildings in person allows you to compare timber, framing, floors, doors, glazing, internal dimensions and overall construction before making your decision.
What Size Summer House Should I Choose?
Choose a size that provides enough usable internal space without overwhelming the garden. Mark the proposed dimensions on the ground before ordering and consider furniture, movement inside the building, door opening, installation access and future maintenance. The largest summerhouse that physically fits is not automatically the best choice.
Do I Need an Insulated Summer House?
That depends on how you intend to use it. A conventional timber summerhouse may be ideal for relaxing and entertaining during warmer weather. If you plan to work inside regularly, use the building in colder periods, or want greater comfort for more of the year, an insulated specification is usually worth considering.
Can I Order a Bespoke Summer House in Epsom?
Bespoke options are available on selected ranges. Depending on the manufacturer and model, alterations may be possible to the size, doors, windows, layout and other features. This can be particularly useful where garden space is restricted, or you have a specific internal arrangement in mind.
Are Your Summer Houses Professionally Assembled?
Professional installation or assembly is included or available on applicable principal ranges, subject to the particular product, delivery area, suitable access and preparation of the base. Always check the individual product specification and installation requirements before ordering.
What Should I Look For in a Quality Summer House?
I recommend comparing the complete specification rather than simply the advertised price. Look at timber quality, framing, wall construction, floor, roof, doors, glazing, treatment, installation and precisely what is included. These details often reveal considerable differences between summerhouses that initially appear very similar online.
Who Is Robin Antill?
I am the founder of 1st Choice Leisure Buildings and have worked with garden buildings since starting Marina Sheds in 1979. I later developed Titan Garden Buildings before Craig, and I formed 1st Choice Leisure Buildings in 2000. Craig now runs the business day-to-day, and I continue to support him and the team with the knowledge and experience I have gained throughout my working life.
