Contemporary summerhouse questions
The questions we're asked most often.
What makes a summerhouse contemporary?
Our contemporary summerhouses have a sleek, modern look. Most have a pent roof, which slopes in one direction and helps the building sit neatly in any garden space, while the Helios has a curved roofline that becomes a focal feature in your garden.
Does a contemporary summerhouse need a base?
Yes. A firm, level base is essential. Concrete or paving slabs work well. A solid base won’t subside over time, and it stops the building moving, which can distort the structure so that the doors don’t shut properly and cracks open up, letting water in. Our guide shows you how to build a concrete base. A wooden base is also offered with the Helios, the Maine Summerhouse and the 11 x 7 Premium Corner Summerhouse with Side Shed.
How do I stop damp in a summerhouse?
Make sure there’s plenty of airflow around the outside of the building, cutting back any plants or branches so that light and air can get through. Check the roof, windows and walls for any sign of water getting in, and repair any damage you find. Good ventilation helps to stop moisture building up, and a heat source or a dehumidifier can help too. Keep anything that damp could spoil in airtight storage containers. Our damp-proofing guide has more ideas.
How can I heat a summerhouse?
If you have mains power to your summerhouse, a tubular heater is a good way to keep the temperature above the dew point, especially at night and at dawn. An electric radiator or a fan heater is another simple option. Electrical work must meet the building regulations where you live (Part P in England and Wales). Please use a registered electrician. Our guide to heating a garden building has more.
Can someone build my contemporary summerhouse for me?
Yes. Home installation (building only) is available at extra cost: simply choose it when you place your order. Installation covers the building only, so you’ll need a firm, level base ready first. See our installation information for more.

Yes, we're happy to help. Call us on 01636 821 135 (Mon-Fri 08:30-17:00), email websales@waltons.co.uk or fill out the form on our Contact page.
