Discover Ireland’s Best Garden Rooms, Summer Houses, Log Cabins & More!

Our garden rooms, garden offices and garden summer houses vary from small 3 x 3 m cabins up to large 40 m2 buildings. These garden buildings are widely used as garden offices to work in, as an extra living room, guest houses for visiting friends to sleep in or as rental cabins for earning extra cash with Airbnb, garden gyms, hobby rooms, studios, garden rooms, pool houses, snooker or pool playing rooms, table tennis rooms as well as for many other great activities. For smaller cabins up to 15-18 m2 we mostly use 44mm thick wall logs, while large cabins come with 70 mm thick walls and above. For homes with smaller gardens or other limitations, we do a range of cabins with garden rooms and sheds combined.  These are ideal if you would perhaps like to have a new hobby room and consolidate an old shed into it at the same time.

Many of our clients often ask us similar questions when they are considering purchasing a garden building and so we thought it would be useful to answer these commonly asked questions below:

Is putting a garden room in my garden a good idea? In short, yes! We have highlighted the many examples of different uses for log cabins and would also like to point out the simplicity, landscape design and value that a quality garden building will add to your property. The right building can quickly solve space issues, provide a room for concentration or your hobbies for a relatively low cost in comparison to moving house or adding an extension.

When we say simplicity, we mean minimum time spent on the construction of the room itself. Most of our small and medium sized garden rooms can be installed within 2-4 days by customers themselves if they have previous DIY experience. Alternatively, our assembly team can fit most of these cabins within a day or two. Most of our log cabins do not necessarily require a full concrete pad, they can be installed on concrete pillars, blocks or ground screws which is much faster, cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Before constructing your base make sure you request the detailed cabin plans from us to ensure it will be the right size.

Will a cabin in my garden look out of place? Well, this is only something you can decide but we would suggest you consider the following: A wooden garden room can also be a stylish focal point in your garden and so integrate into the landscape design. We offer a range of styles to our cabin models from traditional to contemporary designs. In addition to the form you choose, you can play with colors, shades, and decorations to add beauty to your garden.

Does a garden building add value to my property? Now, talking about the value added and money spent on a wooden garden building, we are sure that a high-quality wooden garden building will be a safe investment because for a relatively low budget, you gain a lot of extra space to indulge on your intended use. If you sell your property, then a cabin in the garden can surely only add appeal for your buyers.

Can I sleep in my garden room? You can enjoy an afternoon snooze in any of our cabins but if you are looking for overnight or more regular accommodation then we would advise you to look at our bedroom cabin range. You will also need to consider whether you need to seek planning permission and building control approval. This is especially important if you plan to use the cabin as a guest house or a rental cabin. You’ll also need to consider things like insulation, power connection and heating. We are always happy to discuss these questions through with you to make sure you make the right choice.

Most of our bedroom cabins range between 40 and 100 m2. These one-, two- and three-bedroom log cabins are widely used as holiday cottages, large guest houses, offices and granny annexes.

These log cabins feature 70 or 92mm wall thickness depending on the model, double glazed doors and windows, multi lock door systems, tilt and turn window systems, floor boards, roof boards as well as all metal fixing and other wooden components, all made of premium quality Nordic wood. With additional roof and floor insulation as well as installing a light heating system, they are good to use all year round.

Besides the cozy and natural feeling you get when inside a wooden cottage, our prefabricated cabin kits make building them fast and easy. Depending on the size and other factors, most of our log cabins can be installed within three to seven days by our professional assembly team.

Our sauna cabins are traditional Finnish sauna cabins. Most of them have a family sized sauna room and additional areas for use as a changing room or where you can install a shower room.

Most of our sauna cabin models can be assembled within a day or two.

In addition to our standard log cabin features, all sauna cabins are also equipped with full sauna room equipment, including sauna benches, glass sauna door, headrests, floor grates, insulated sauna ceiling and sauna heater guard. Please note that the sauna heater is a separate purchase and not included in the price of the cabin.

Our sauna cabins are usually constructed in home gardens, sport clubs, country clubs, hotels or next to holiday cottages.

Whether your home is built of bricks, concrete, wood or any other material, a wooden garage, carport or storage shed will always be a great match and add beauty and style to your home.

Our wooden carports are made of glulam wood, which ensures superb stability and very long-life span. Glulam wood compared to normal wood has approximately two times more strength and stability, and is more moisture resistant. Our wooden carport kits come with prefabricated components, which then need to be connected using bolts, screws, washers and nuts.  This makes assembly fast and simple, and should be achievable for any person with some previous DIY skills.

Summerhouse24 wooden garages and garden storage sheds are all made of high-quality Nordic wood. These garage and shed kits feature prefabricated wooden components, double glazed windows, strengthening metal rods and all metal fixings. You can choose between double garage doors or up and over garage doors.

Compared to concrete, metal or plastic garages and shed, we think that our wooden buildings add more style to your home and besides the functionality, also act as a stylish garden landscape feature.

Our professional assembly team can build any of our garages, sheds or carports within a day or two.

BBQ huts, Barbeque cabins and Grill-kotas originate from Northern Finland and Scandinavia. These centuries old buildings are still widely used in Finland, Sweden and Norway, but they have also become very popular all over the world.

A typical wooden barbeque lodge you can buy today is usually hexagonal or octagonal and comes equipped with a central fireplace with a round table fitted around the fire. Wooden benches as well as a chimney and smoke extraction hood are also included.

Barbeque cabins are widely used in home gardens, at glamping sites, countryside hotels as well as sport clubs. It is a great way to organize a cozy dinner with family or friends. These sociable structures are ideal for enjoying drinks with friends while the food is cooking in front of you.
