Summerhouses with an attached storage shed offer a charming and practical solution for outdoor living and storage needs during the warmer months. Combining the cosy atmosphere of a summerhouse with the functionality of a storage shed, these structures offer a versatile space for relaxation, entertainment, and organisation. 

Should you want a year-round solution that is entirely weatherproof, you could opt for an insulated and lined summerhouse with side shed, which will maintain a comfortable temperature and meet all of your needs.  

What is a summerhouse with storage shed?

A summerhouse with storage shed is a structure that incorporates both a recreational relaxation summerhouse space with a practical storage area that does the same job as a separate garden shed. These structures are usually crafted from timber, and can be bespoke-built in such a way that you can’t tell there are two separate areas. Usually, this is done by incorporating a partition wall within the building to separate the two areas, adding an access door either internally or externally. 

Why have a summerhouse with a side shed?

The most obvious reason for having a summerhouse with a side shed is that you will be investing in a building that can serve a dual purpose and therefore save on space while maximising functionality. Summerhouses with side storage also make efficient use of limited outdoor space by consolidating two structures into one. This is particularly beneficial for smaller yards or gardens where space is at a premium. 

A summerhouse with shed attached is the most convenient way to combine both necessary storage with idyllic recreation.

Our summerhouse features & considerations

Bespoke design

The Crane design process allows you to customise everything to create a bespoke building that meets your needs. With summerhouses that also have storage sheds attached, you might wish to have some creative control over things like where you access the storage area, how many windows the summerhouse part has and what colour scheme your interior is painted in. You can do all of this and more with the help of our experienced, friendly and knowledgeable product team. 

Your choice of extras  

Once you’ve designed the structure and layout of your summerhouse, you can then choose from a menu of extras which will further enhance the building. In the summerhouse section, why not opt for complete insulation and lining along with a two-tone Farrow & Ball paint finish? In the storage section, our experienced fitting team can add things like workbenches for easy organisation. 

Unrivalled materials

With more than 50 years of experience in making beautiful timber buildings by hand, Crane only uses the most superior materials. Our FSC© certified Scandinavian Redwood is sustainably sourced from timber mills in northern Sweden, where it is grown slowly to ensure a superior composition with fewer knots and warping.
