A modern summer house brings an updated feel to the traditional garden structure, with larger windows, cleaner lines, and a more minimal design in general. If your home has a contemporary feel, then a contemporary summer house could make the perfect addition to your garden.
Our modern summer houses are no exception to this standard of quality – plus, they’re available in a wide range of styles and sizes, with custom builds on offer too – and every single unit comes with a twenty-year guarantee as standard.
For a helping hand working out what’s right for your home, take a look at our Summer House Buyer’s Guide.
All Tiger cabin logs are designed to interlock with a chamfered finish to ensure a snug fit. The unique four-way chamfered notch system is specially designed to prevent damp or wind penetration. A smooth, solid, strong barrier engineered to meet our high quality standards.
Our timber is sustainably sourced. We use slow grown European softwood, cut in our own sawmill to a high grade. Each log fits tongue and groove for strength and solidity, and is cut to an 0.01mm tolerance. The extra thick 44mm logs have a double tongue and groove for an even firmer link.
Tiger garden buildings come with TigerFelt® as standard. This is a thicker, polyester-backed high-grade mineral felt to provide a reliable, weatherproof barrier with reduced wear and tear. Only premium quality roofing felt will do!
Joiner-made doors and windows are supplied fully glazed or boarded, and all external doors are fitted with mortice locks, with double glazing, 5-lever locks and roof shingles upgrades also available.
From just adding an extra window, to something completely original, our expertise means we can help you add your personality into your perfect space. As we mill the timber ourselves, we can be much more flexible than the competition – and much more creative!
Beware of imitations- log cabins which use cheaper styrene plastic windows (which tend to ‘mist’ or shatter easily over time). All Tiger log cabins come with 4mm thick toughened glass as standard. This glazing is more shock and heat resistant than horticultural glass in many other buildings, making your Tiger all the more durable.
With over 100 years of working with timber, we know all about the properties of wood. As well as a wide range of eco-friendly, durable colourful range of paints, we have developed five shades of TigerSkin® Wood Protector to help maintain your building and keep it looking fresh and new with a natural look.
Your Tiger log cabin is simple to put together, using the helpful instructions and videos available, and will look great on a firm & level base constructed from a suitably durable material. We also offer a professional installation service for all Tiger log cabins to make enjoying your new space even easier to achieve!
All Tiger buildings are made to exactly the same high standards, with exactly the same quality timber – so they get exactly the same market-leading Tiger 20 Year Guarantee. Tigers are built to last for decades.
One of the great benefits of a modern summerhouse is the vast amount of natural light they let in, thanks to their airy designs. For this reason, contemporary summer houses can be used for a wide number of gatherings, activities, and hobbies.
If you’re a remote or hybrid worker, and your home doesn’t have space for an office, then a summer house could be the answer; you can slip away from the bustle of the house and find the quiet you need to get in the zone for work. But there are plenty of other ways to be productive in our contemporary summer houses – why not set up a craft den, build the workshop you’ve always wanted, or create a calm, clean space where you can work out?
Alternatively, many of our modern models are spacious enough to be used as an additional reception room, where you can entertain friends, relax on your own, host a garden party or build a cosy fort for the kids.
On top of all these potential uses, you’ll also have a super convenient storage space in the garden – perfect for stashing patio furniture on rainy days, or just keeping your gardening tools away from prying hands.
The design of your modern garden houses is highly customisable, and there are several different aesthetic and functional features you can choose from. Here are the key things to consider:
At Tiger Sheds, we offer modern summerhouses in an array of different sizes, so there’s something to suit even the most compact gardens, and those lucky enough to have lots of space too. Before you select the right build, it’s worth checking whether you need planning permission for your summer house, or if you can avoid this by choosing size and location carefully.
If you’re working with quite a modest garden space, or you’re on a budget, a small modern summer house could be the perfect choice. We offer models as small as 6x6, 6x8 and 7x7, so if you need a little extra garden storage or a cosy nook, we’ve got it covered.
In the middle of our size range, there are quality modern summer houses that measure 8x8, 10x8 or 12x8 – which are ideal for midsize gardens. The bigger the build you choose, the more versatile the space, so it’s worth thinking about what you intend to use it for.
If you’ve dreamt of having a large modern summer house — suited for use as an extra lounge or home office — then we’ve got models that measure 12x8, 12x10, 14x10 and even 20x10 for a really generous garden room.
Thanks to their high-grade timber, our modern summerhouses don’t need very much upkeep to remain in good condition. However, to prolong the lifespan of your unit, and make sure you get the very best from it, there are some maintenance tips it’s worth observing.
Protecting your modern summerhouse from the elements is the best way to keep it in good shape for many years to come. All our builds should be weatherproof when properly constructed, but it’s worth reading up on how to waterproof a shed — you may need to treat the timber more regularly on some models, but you should always keep an eye on your windows and doors, and take good care of your roof too. Painting your summer house can also help to keep out the rain, providing you use a suitable waterproof shed paint, or you can use Tiger Wood Preserver instead.
When it comes to damp proofing your summer house, choosing the right ventilation is vital. You could install wall vents for constant airflow, use a wind-powered whirligig, or just try to air out your summerhouse regularly by opening the doors and windows. If you’re planning to wire your build into the mains, you could even add an electric ceiling fan. This gives you more options when it comes to lighting your summer house too, as you can add lamps for a cosy atmosphere, or bright overhead lighting — whatever’s most practical.
