Pressure Treated Summer Houses

Imagine relaxing in a comfortable garden chair, just inside your summer house, the doors wide open and letting the sun and light breeze into the space around you. This would be the perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing drink or read a book, not to mention being able to sit outdoors and yet still enjoy some shade if need be.

Welcome to the world of the summer house – a world in which this appealing garden building can completely change the way you use and enjoy your garden. Summer houses are versatile garden buildings, significantly different from a standard shed, even though the sizes may be sometimes similar. For instance, many summer houses have double doors instead of a single one and they are also more likely to have see-through panels in the doors, as well as more windows in use, which help to create a bright and appealing space to use throughout the summer.

Summer houses can come in different treatment options, where pressure treatment is the preferred alternative. The process of pressure-treating takes longer as moisture is being drawn out of the wood, allowing for more preservative to be driven into the timber, and therefore you can expect to spend more on a summer house made from pressure-treated wood. However, you do get what you pay for, and the quality of the wood will be superior as a result.

There are significant bonuses to opting for this type of summer house, mainly you won’t need to worry about adding preservative to it, since it has already been driven deep into the timber and was built to last.
