For customers who favour a quintessential style when it comes to home and garden decor, traditional summer houses are the perfect choice. Made from quality timber that’s slow grown in Europe, our traditional summer houses are available in a wide range of sizes and designs, but each and every one can add a touch of luxury to your outdoor space.

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.
Classic summer houses have many uses – but they’ve always been enjoyed as a secluded spot in the garden where you can shelter from the rain, either alone or with company. Today, they’re used in a much more versatile way; one of the most popular reasons our customers purchase a traditional summer house is because they’re looking for an alternative place to work remotely, and they’re short of space in the house.
As our summer houses are available in such a broad collection of sizes and designs, they’re also brilliant for storage, and excellent as a space to entertain friends and family. You could host a movie night, arrange a board game day or a craft session – or even consider setting up a home gym or miniature yoga studio, so you’ve somewhere to practise outside the house. With the right traditional summer house, the possibilities are endless.
A classic summer house has a distinctive aesthetic, usually achieved by a handful of recognisable features that have been appearing in summer houses for many decades. Our stylish traditional designs are available with both single and double doors, which can be partially or fully glazed depending on your preference.
We offer several different choices when it comes to other windows in your build too – for instance, you can choose latticed windows for a cosier, more conventional look. You’ll also need to make a decision about the type of roof you’d like for your summer house; for a traditional model, an apex roof, a hip roof, or a barn roof would all work well.

The exact size and location of your build can determine this, so take a look at our planning permission guide first. These are the main sizes available:
Why not consider one of our small Victorian summer houses? Available in 6x6, 6x8 and 7x7 feet, these are ideal if you’re looking for a compact indoor nook with a garden view, which you can also use as a convenient covered storage space for your tools.
Our midrange summer houses – which measure from 8x8 and 10x8 to 12x8 and 12x10 feet – are a popular choice for customers who want a slightly more versatile space, that still doesn’t dominate in a medium-sized garden.
For households lucky enough to feature generous gardens, a large traditional summer house is an excellent option that can function as an additional reception room. Our most spacious builds in this style range from 12x10 and 14x10 right up to 16x8 and 20x10 feet.
Our Victorian summer houses are designed to be as low maintenance as possible, but if you want to make the most of your build and enjoy it for years to come, there are still a few pieces of upkeep to bear in mind. For instance, adding a ventilation system like wall vents or a whirligig can prevent damp from wreaking havoc on your summer house – you could even add an electric fan if you’re planning to supply your model with mains power. It’s also worth treating or painting your summer house on an annual basis, providing you use the right products, like an oil-based wood preserver or waterproof paint.
You should also think about what type of lighting you’ll need for your summer house – for example, while solar powered lamps or natural light might suffice if you’re using the space for storage, a home office or garden workshop would likely benefit from mains-powered overhead lighting.
