We assume that al fresco entertaining happens in the summer, but thanks to our Great British weather, it isn’t always a given. At Sutton Sheds, we can offer a solution that lets you enjoy welcoming friends and family into your garden year round – the wooden summerhouse! With a little planning, you can enjoy yourselves whatever the weather.
Shelter, warmth and light are essential for being able to entertain in your garden but before deciding on all three, ask yourself some basic questions. Will you offer sit down meals in the garden, or are drinks parties your thing? Will guest numbers fill your space when you’d also like an area for outdoor games or dancing? And do you want to cook in the garden or just serve pre-prepared dishes?
While a gazebo offers great shelter, it doesn’t give you the shelter you need year round and it can become tedious if furniture cannot be kept outdoors permanently and needs storage. Outdoor heating too, can be tiresome with many garden heaters being ineffective to heat a large area, and unless you have good lighting, once the clocks go back, you probably want to be able to see what you’re doing.
The benefits of a wooden summerhouse for al fresco entertaining
Year round shelter will never be a problem with a wooden summerhouse and you will be able to entertain, whatever the weather is doing outside. For afternoon tea parties or children’s birthday parties in the summer, a summerhouse will provide you with a space to lay out food and drink, while for crisp autumnal supper gatherings, it will provide somewhere to take refuge against the cold. Installing electricity in a summerhouse will allow you to heat it and illuminate it after dark too – if this is something that interests you, read Adding electricity to a garden shed for lots of helpful advice.
What else can I use a summerhouse for?
Summerhouses are one of the most versatile garden structures on the market and can be used for a variety of purposes. Whether your teenagers need their own space to kick back and enjoy their friends, or you fancy establishing a workout room or home office, a wooden summerhouse will deliver.
