If you are looking for a new summerhouse you might find yourself overwhelmed by the amount of options that are available. The key to deciding on the right summerhouse for you will be to really think about what is important to you and your garden.

Size
The major consideration for choosing any garden building always has to be size. No garden has unlimited amounts of space, so it is important to have a good look at how much space you can afford to use. It will normally make sense to have as large a summerhouse as your space and wallet will allow, as you will always be able to find a use for any left-over space.

Appearance
A wooden summerhouse is generally designed to be decorative as well as functional, so it is important to consider whether it will look at home in your garden. There is generally a clear distinction between traditional style summerhouses and those built to a contemporary design. The traditional buildings tend to have joinery windows made with smaller panes of glass and aesthetic features such as bevelled gables, while the more modern designs will generally feature plain windows made with a single sheet of glass and smoother lines in areas such as the gables.

Glazing
Many summerhouses come with a range of different glazing options, and upgrades can often be worth every penny. The majority of garden summerhouses come with horticultural glazing as standard; this kind of glazing can do a job for most people; however it can dangerously break into shards and so is certainly not suitable for those with children. Upgrading to Perspex or toughened glass is generally the solution as it is much harder to damage than glass, making it ideal for those with young children. The advantage of toughened glass is that it will shatter into smaller and less dangerous pieces.

Verandahs and Window Boxes
Another feature available on many summerhouses is a verandah. It is worth thinking about whether you would like an outdoor area where you can relax on warmer days, as it could mean that a summerhouse with a verandah is just what you've been looking for.

For those who like a bit of gardening, many summerhouses either come with window boxes or can have them added. Window boxes provide a great place for plants to grow, and as a result your summerhouse will soon be brightened up by some floral delights.

Assembly
If you aren't particularly handy, or would like to save yourself some time and effort, many summerhouses come with additional treatment and assembly options. With pressure treatment, you will never have to treat your summerhouse again as the timber has a preservative forced into it that will protect it from rot. A less expensive treatment option is to have a factory applied top coat; this will usually protect your summerhouse for the first year without costing a lot of money.

There are plenty of reasons for buying a summerhouse, and even more for why one summerhouse might be better than another. The only way to make sure you get the right one for you is to make sure you think about exactly what you need, have a good look around, and see which summerhouse is the best match.
