Rectangular summer house

What is a rectangular summer house? 

A rectangle summer house is a charming garden structure that adds both practicality and aesthetic appeal to your outdoor space. As the name suggests, these structures feature a rectangular shape, allowing for efficient use of space and easy integration into different garden layouts.

Whether you have a small urban garden or a sprawling backyard, a rectangular summer house can be an excellent addition to create a functional and inviting environment. 

Size options for rectangular summer houses 

A rectangle summer house can be available in a range of sizes to accommodate diverse requirements. Here are some common size options you might encounter: 

Small Size: Ranging from approximately 6 ft x 4 ft to 8 ft x 6 ft, small summer houses are perfect for compact gardens or limited spaces. They offer just enough room for a cozy seating area or additional storage. 

Medium Size: With dimensions of approximately 8 ft x 8 ft to 10 ft x 10 ft, medium-sized summer houses provide more space. They are ideal for creating a comfortable seating area, setting up a home office, or even dedicating a hobby room. 

Large Size: For those seeking ample space and versatility, large summer houses are the answer. Sized around 10 ft x 12 ft to 12 ft x 16 ft, they can accommodate various uses. You can create a generous seating area, incorporate storage options, and even add a small kitchen or bathroom for convenience. 

Remember, these size options may vary depending on the manufacturer or supplier. At Lugarde we help you find the perfect rectangular summer house that suits your specific needs. Our 3D Configurator provides the flexibility of creating any designs from an octagonal summer house, a big or a small summer house, and even a corner summer house. The choice is yours! 

Foundation options 

The foundation of a rectangular summer house plays a crucial role in providing stability and longevity. The choice of foundation depends on factors such as the structure’s size, local building codes, and personal preferences.

Here are a few common foundation options you can consider: 

Concrete Slab/Foundation: A popular choice, a concrete slab offers a solid and durable foundation for your summer house. Ensure proper leveling and preparation of the area.

Adding crushed stone or gravel underneath aids drainage and stability. Reinforcing steel bars (rebar) can be embedded within the concrete for additional strength. 

Concrete Pier/Foundation: This type of foundation involves pouring concrete piers or footings strategically to support the weight of the summer house.

Typically placed at corners and along the perimeter, with additional piers spaced evenly, these provide a stable base. Reinforcing the piers with concrete forms and rebar ensures added reinforcement. 

Treated Wood Skids/Foundation: Wooden skids or beams can be used to create a foundation. Treated lumber is recommended to protect against decay and termite damage.

Skids are placed directly on a leveled and compacted gravel or crushed stone base, offering stability and elevation. 

Concrete Block/Foundation: Concrete blocks can be stacked and secured together using mortar to form a foundation. The size and spacing of the blocks depend on specific requirements and load-bearing capacity. This option provides a sturdy base for your rectangular summer house. 

Consulting local building codes and regulations, as well as seeking advice from professionals, such as contractors or architects, will help determine the most most suitable foundation option for your summer house based on your location and requirements.
