An old outbuilding at Ickworth House in Suffolk was the source of inspiration for our chalet-style Ickworth Summerhouse, which also features an overhang and apex roof.
For each product sold a contribution is made to the National Trust to help look after and conserve special places for ever, for everyone.

Base Options
All our buildings require a level, solid base of the correct size.
The single most important part of installing a garden building is the base. Bases must be:
- Level within a 6mm tolerance to ensure the longevity of your building
- Of the correct size (please follow the base plan we send you)
- Square i.e. have right angled corners
A solid base supports your building in the best possible way, adding longevity, as well as creating a substantial distance between your building and surface water.
Our professionals can supply a concrete or steel base ready for your building in advance of installation. Whether we install the base ourselves or you get a trusted builder to do it for you, the base must be made to the plans we give you when you order your building.
The base you have must be made to the plans we give you when you order your building, whether we install the base, or you get a trusted builder to do it for you.
Please note: If you intend to fully or partially surround the building base with hard paving we strongly suggest the installation of a French drain between the paving and base to prevent rain bouncing off the hard surface and driving up under the building, which in turn could cause damp and rot. A French drain is a simple small trench, dug around your building and filled with aggregate that will allow surface water to drain away.
Always get your garden building base laid by a professional, whether that is us, or a local builder you trust.

Each building we make is designed and built to order, which means that we can make the building in such a way that it will fit through restricted access areas and be installed exactly where the building is required; however, if you have any concerns about the access to your garden, please contact us and we will be able to advise you.
Please also note that our installation team requires a flat, solid and level base to install your building on. If you have any questions about this at all, we will be more than happy to help if you call us on 01760 444229.
