Garden Buildings

The best way to approach any new outbuilding which you’re thinking of adding to your property is like this: if you think you have to ask then make sure you do. Any significant change to your property’s exterior or interior should always be run past the appropriate authority.

Due to the name, people tend to associate summerhouses with, well, summertime. But you can get plenty of use out of summerhouses or log cabins when it gets cold, especially when it’s dry. You just need to make some small adjustments to make the space warm and cosy, and you can enjoy a calm, quiet spot to read, think, or spend time with friends.

A quality summer house offers a beautiful, secure, and comfortable way to enjoy anything that the British weather throws at us – whether that’s a bit of shade in the heat, or reading your book as you listen to the (inevitable) summer rain in your garden.

Replacing the garden shed is something most people would prefer to avoid – it takes time, money, and means you need to clear everything out. However, it’s important to check on your shed to make sure that it’s still doing its job of keeping its contents safe, clean, and dry. If you see any of these signs, it’s important to change your shed as soon as possible to avoid damaging or even completely losing the contents.

More and more people throughout the UK are working from home – whether you’re self-employed or telecommuting, you can face a huge range of distractions if you don’t have a set space dedicated to work. Homeowners can turn to loft conversions and house extensions as a way to create more space at home, but a log cabin is a much more cost-effective way to create a work space that separates business and pleasure.

At Lawsons, our staff are just as creative as our clients. Working around building materials every day means that a lot of our staff start thinking about how they can use our timber, decking, or railway sleepers and how they can improve their homes.

Chickens are an increasingly popular pet throughout the UK – unlike rabbits and cats, they earn their keep by offering 150-300 eggs per year per hen! There are a number of different breeds, including a number of friendly, affectionate, and docile breeds that will enjoy socialising with the family.

Lawsons offer a great range of playhouses and other garden buildings, along with an expert installation service that ensures a safe set-up. However, the one thing that could make having a playhouse even more exciting for your children is if you build it yourself. It could be a wonderful and very rewarding family project that lasts for years to come. All it takes some planning, the right tools and a little motivation! Oh and perhaps some nice weather.

A garden workshop is a must have if you have any hobbies, passions or even fledgling business ideas.

As house prices rise and more and more families find that the idea of moving to a larger property is simply out of their reach, so innovative space-saving ideas move to the fore with many people thinking out of the box when it comes to finding new ways in which to fit the family in.
