Before-you-buy check 02

Summerhouse size checker: will it fit your garden?

Turn the usable garden patch, maintenance gap and door clearance into a practical maximum shopping envelope.

What the result means

The envelope is the largest rectangle left after your chosen working gaps and door clearance. Shop below it, because the actual roof, gutters and assembly method may need more room.

What to measure separately

Check the complete delivery route, including gates, narrow alleys, corners, steps and overhead cables. Ask the maker for the largest panel or component.

Fit is not permission

The tool does not apply planning limits. A building can fit physically and still need a different position, lower height or a planning application. Run the planning checker before settling on a model.
