Maximising Small Spaces: A 5m x 2.5m Summerhouse with Decking in Manchester
At Timber Building Specialists, we pride ourselves on creating bespoke timber structures that transform even the most challenging spaces. Our latest project in Manchester is a perfect example of how we combine innovation, craftsmanship, and functionality to deliver stunning results. This 5m x 2.5m summerhouse, complete with 1m side decking, was designed to fit a demanding space while offering a cosy retreat for our client. Let’s take a closer look at how we brought this vision to life!
Why a Summerhouse with Decking?
A summerhouse is the perfect addition to any garden, offering a versatile space for relaxation, work, or hobbies. Paired with decking, it creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. For this project, the client wanted a compact yet functional space that could serve as a peaceful retreat while maximising their garden’s potential.
The Project: A 5m x 2.5m Summerhouse in Manchester
1. Designing for a Demanding Space
The client’s garden had limited space, but they wanted a summerhouse that felt spacious and inviting. Our team designed a 5m x 2.5m structure with 1m side decking to make the most of the available area. The decking not only added functionality but also enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the summerhouse.
2. Building a Solid Foundation
We started by constructing a timber-framed base to ensure the structure was stable and level. This step is crucial for the longevity of any timber building, especially in the UK’s unpredictable weather.
3. Insulation and Waterproofing
To make the summerhouse comfortable year-round, we insulated the floor aspect. Additionally, we installed an EPDM roof due to the low apex pitch, ensuring the cabin is 100% waterproof. This durable roofing material is perfect for protecting the structure from rain and moisture.
4. Finishing Touches
The pre-painted doors and windows added a touch of elegance, while a clear preserver was applied to protect the timber and maintain its natural beauty. The entire project, from start to finish, was completed in just 2 days!
