As a valuable extension to our living space, our gardens have never been more important. We have developed a closer understanding of the wellbeing that follows a connection with the outdoors and increasingly seek an escape from the pressures of the modern world. A summerhouse represents the perfect way to forge that vital connection.
Imagine a space with double doors that can be fully opened to let the fresh air flow enabling you to enjoy a sun-drenched retreat. Or close the doors tightly against the weather and hunker down in cosy bliss. A large sun room is the perfect refuge when all you want is a peaceful quiet space to indulge your favourite hobby. Perhaps you are looking for even more room to spread out? Our stunning hardwood Sun Ray Garden Room is available in three sizes and provides an inspirational entertaining space so you can host a relaxed celebration or informal drink. You can personalise your sun room with modular free-standing furniture that offers additional storage space for garden or hobby equipment. Choose from a range of paint finish colours to add that personal touch.
The width of our Sun Ray Garden Room can easily accommodate activities such as yoga and exercise, as well as providing the perfect setting for a crafting or other hobby. The Sun Ray model can accommodate modular wooden seating and lift the lid on convenient storage. All our sun rooms benefit from stylish casement windows and sleek lockable doors crafted from Red Grandis hardwood and painted to tone in with the exterior finish.
Choose the 3.9m Sun Ray Garden Room model and extend the useable space if you have a larger garden or need to accommodate any equipment. For a stunning entertaining venue, the even more spacious 4.4m model provides optimum space for garden parties, summer barbecues and family celebrations. Solar lighting will add elegance to your evening, and modular seating can be moved around to facilitate sociable groups. Ask us to install insulation under aesthetically pleasing tongue and groove panelling and your sun room will retain its warmth for longer, so you can enjoy your garden all year round.
If your home and garden lend themselves to a larger, more expansive sun room or if there are additional features that are essential to bringing your vision to life, Scotts is one of the few summerhouse manufacturers that can customise a garden building to meet your individual requirements. Your garden is a unique expression of your preferences, taste, and personal style. Why limit your creativity to the planting alone? Put our design team to the test with special requests for bespoke shapes, sizes, and colours. We will be happy to respond with a custom-built design to make your dream a reality. Scotts can also design sun rooms for commercial use as pavilions, ticket booths and outdoor shelters, including themed summerhouses for special restaurants and hotels.

Built with skill using expert workmanship, our luxurious sun rooms provide a special place in your garden for all seasons. Made from durable hardwood that delivers enduring quality, you can create a spectacular outdoor focal point that will retain its original appearance for years to come.
A sun room is a type of summerhouse with double doors and plenty of space designed to enhance your garden space. Typically designed in timber, a sun room is flexible to provide a cool, shaded place to retreat from the summer heat, or a cosy hideaway for cooler spring and autumn days. Ideal for use as a craft room, yoga studio or gym, or even as outdoor bar, a large sun room provides a unique and beautiful space for an idyllic garden upgrade. You can also add supplementary security and aesthetic features. Choose a glass fibre effect or cedar shingle roof, additional windows, or glazed doors to create a light-filled space. Scotts’ Sun Ray Garden Room is available in three different sizes up to 4.4m in width, and is eminently suitable as a hobby room, yoga studio or home gym.
Whatever the season, our luxury sun rooms can be enjoyed comfortably all year round enabling you to spend more time relaxing in your own, personal garden paradise. Scotts sun rooms are built with craftsmanship using sustainably sourced hardwood which means they are exceptionally durable and hardwearing. You can view our range here.
In recent years, the way we use sun rooms has consistently changed and evolved. Your sun room represents an extension to your home and can be used for whatever you desire. Depending on the size and location of your sun room, it could be a wonderful place for indulging in your favourite hobbies such as painting, crafting, or keeping. It could become an ideal entertaining space or a place to work quietly undisturbed. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
We offer free-standing seating consisting of self-contained storage boxes upholstered in beautiful fabrics. Alternatively, you can simply arrange your own furniture to create a capacious summerhouse that perfectly suits your taste.

Summerhouses, sun rooms, and garden buildings are regarded as ‘permitted development’ so they do not usually require planning permission, however some criteria apply. Although we cannot provide definitive advice on whether planning permission is required in each individual circumstance, we hope that these guidelines* will assist you.
*The guidelines are intended to give an overview of regulations which may be subject to changes in legislation. We recommend that you contact your local planning authority for specific advice.
Sun rooms of all sizes require a firm base constructed on a level surface to promote their stability and longevity. You will need to obtain the base plan for your choice of summerhouse from Scotts before it is constructed to ensure that the size and dimensions are appropriate.
Alternatively, Scotts offer an innovative and convenient ground screw base that will provide the perfect support your summerhouse on an uneven surface. Find out more about our ground screw base here.
