Summerhouses

Many people dream of having a beautiful summerhouse in their own garden. Since 1978 Lugarde has been producing summerhouses that offer great value for money! Our summerhouses are built using the unique Prima 3in1 system. This system uses a technique whereby the milled wall sections slot perfectly into the corresponding corner uprights without any screws or nails. We have a wide range of summerhouses to suit all budgets. What are you looking for? Would you also like a veranda or canopy, or external storage? Lugarde can work to your bespoke design, so anything is possible!

Summerhouses in different sizes

Lugarde has a summerhouse for every garden, large or small! Our 3D-configurator allows you to choose from many different sizes:  5 x 4 m, 6 x 4 m, 6 x 5 m, 7 x 5 m, 8 x 4 m, 8 x 5 m, 8 x 8 m, 10 x 5 m, 10 x 7 m and 10 x 8 m. You can also choose from three wall thicknesses: 28 mm, 44 mm or 68 mm.

Possibilities for your summerhouse

A summerhouse offers many possibilities and there are no limits to creativity! You could transform your summerhouse into a private gym: a summerhouse creates a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere and offers space for all your sports equipment. Furthermore, with our insulation systems, your garden room can easily be used as a gym year-round.

Do you like to party? Many people dream of having their own bar. Thisdream can come true in your summerhouse! Set up your bar with bar stools and hand pumps and give it a unique name. Your summerhouse will become the meeting place for all your friends.

Or would you like to have your own home office? Are you tired of being stuck in traffic for hours on your way to work? An office in your summerhouse is the perfect solution for you!

For relaxing after a long day, a sauna or a hot tub is just the thing. With a wellness room in your summerhouse, this oasis of relaxation can be just a stone’s throw away, enabling you to chill out whenever you like.

Every shape of summerhouse

Lugarde produces summerhouses in various different shapes. What shape would fit into your beautiful garden? You can choose between an octagonal-, corner-, rectangular- or square-shaped one.

Constructed from quality timber

Lugarde uses the best-quality timber for its summerhouses! The wood comes from the cold climates of northern Europe. Because of the low temperatures, the trees grow slowly. This means that the growth rings are close together, resulting in the timber being more stable and durable. All of our timber is kiln dried in special drying rooms to approx. 14%–16% moisture content – as a result, wood shrinkage is reduced. We also cut the wooden components ourselves to ensure that they fit together precisely. The corner connections of our summerhouses are suitably water and wind resistant.

Windows and doors for summerhouses

Lugarde offers a wide range of windows and doors for our summerhouses, cabins, gazebos and garages. We deliver all of our windows and doors with double glazing and three-point locks; this is included in the price. Lugarde also specialises in bespoke design, and we offer many different options for windows and doors.

All of our windows are of the highest quality. The windows are insulated with HR++ double glazing, with an insulation level of 1.1, and are made of laminated solid timber that is 56 mm thick. The windows are wind- and waterproof due to the inclusion of KOMO-certified draught-excluder strips. The windows comply with strict European standards as regards to timber quality, professional finishing and double glazing with high insulation levels. Our casings are suitable for all types of window. The casing is the frame into which a window or door can be fitted. Our casings are high quality and to prevent warping we use laminated timber and dovetail joints.

Our top-hung windows can be opened to the outside. The hinges are placed at the top of the window, allowing the window to open at the bottom. This ensures that the interior remains protected against weather conditions. Windows can be set ajar on the hinges using an Allen key. The crossbars have a simple click-in clip system and are easy to remove for cleaning or painting.

Our casement windows can be opened outwards, from the centre, and consist of two parts. The windows can be locked using the handle built into the casing. Window arms in chrome or brass secure the open casement windows, preventing them from blowing open. The windows open and close using pins which automatically slide into the casing.

We also offer tilt-and-turn windows, like those in almost every home. These windows can be opened at the side and also tilt. They are extremely flexible. Our top-quality tilt-and-turn windows rotate inwards.

Lugarde’s doors are made of laminated timber to prevent warping and are available in various heights: 180 cm, 193.5 cm and up to 207 cm. We use three-point locks that have the SKG seal of approval, ensuring that your summerhouse has optimum protection against burglary. The doors have drainage holes and an aluminium wear-strip to protect the threshold. We deliver left-hand doors as standard, but if you would prefer a right-hand door this can be arranged at no extra cost.

Lugarde offers various kinds of doors: single, double, garage, sliding and folding. All our doors have adjustable hinges, sprung door handles in chrome or brass, and corners sealed with silicon; all the doors are wind- and waterproof due to the inclusion of draught-excluder strips, and our electric garage doors are supplied with a remote control.

You summerhouse can come with or without a canopy and with a variety of roof options: apex, asymmetric, flat, pent or pyramid. The roofing is always included in our price. There is a choice of five colours for a shingled roof: black, blue, brown, green or red.

Summerhouse colours

Lugarde offers three types of surface treatment in our factory. The spray pre-treatment, also known as the ‘factory finish’, is suitable for all construction methods. If you choose this option, then both sides will be pre-treated with a base coat/primer. Your summerhouse will be immediately protected against the build-up of fungus, helping to prevent rotting.  There is a choice of four transparent colours: white, graphite, brown or light grey, or a colourless base coat.

Pressure treatment is only suitable for the log cabins and gazebos in our Log cabin-system range and summerhouses in our Pro-system range. During the pressure-treatment process, an impregnation agent is forced into the timber. With this method, you can choose from green or brown colour options. If you opt for pressure treatment you won’t need to treat or paint the summerhouse again. The colour will fade over time, which may or may not be to your taste. However it can be painted over.

It is possible to paint the Prima-system and Pro-system summerhouses and our gazebos. With this treatment your building is protected for a minimum of five years (subject to location and weather conditions). Should you wish to apply another coat on top of this, then the paint manufacturer recommends a light sanding prior to application. Your summerhouse will be treated with the professional-quality Dutch paint brand, Sigma. This product provides perfect protection against UV-radiation and fungus, and is moisture regulating. There is a choice of six colours: dusty grey, dark grey, pebble grey, transparent oak, pure white and beige. It is possible to choose one colour for the windows and doors and another colour for the walls and fascia boards. If you have a summerhouse with a canopy, one colour must be selected for the windows and doors, walls, posts, balustrades, bases and fascia boards.

Summerhouses in the winter

Do you want to enjoy your summerhouse in the winter too? Do you look forward to sitting under the canopy around a fire? Fancy enjoying the cosy surroundings with friends and family, with a delicious hot chocolate or glühwein and tasty marshmallows? If so, it is important to insulate your summerhouse. Make sure your windows are double-glazed and your roof and walls are insulated. This way, heat will be trapped perfectly in your summerhouse and you will save on energy costs.

In the winter months, it gets dark earlier. Do you want to make the most of your summerhouse by creating a cosy atmosphere? This is best done with the right lighting. LED bulbs are great for this, since they not only save energy but also have a longer lifespan than conventional bulbs.

Summerhouses in the summer

A summerhouse in your garden is perfect for the summertime. Do you want your own small lounge area where you can celebrate the summer evenings with your friends and family? Then set it up in your summerhouse. A summerhouse offers enough space for a lounge area, a TV and also a small fridge to keep the drinks cold. Or perhaps you might prefer to enjoy a delicious barbecue under the canopy, while watching the kids swimming in the pool? Maybe you are looking for a secure place for the pool pump, a changing room and a place you can relax with your friends and family, all in one building? A summerhouse with multiple rooms is the perfect choice. Use the smallest room for installing the pump, generator and equipment, and set up a changing room and lounge area in the rest of the summerhouse. You can even surprise your friends by having a home bar in your pool house!
