Wooden structures have been a cornerstone of construction for centuries, offering both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
If you’re thinking about building a wooden gazebo, summer house, garden shelter, or a garden room, it’s important to understand the fundamentals of wooden structures for gardens.
This guide will take you through the different types of wooden structures, the materials and tools required, construction techniques, and maintenance.
Types of Wooden Structures
Garden Rooms
Crown Pavilions offers luxurious wooden garden rooms that can serve as extensions of your home. These structures provide excellent insulation, keeping spaces warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Our premium range of garden rooms is engineered to the same exact specification as your home, which means that whatever you use it for, you can enjoy it in home-from-home comfort.
They can be built to serve any purpose with some of the most popular uses being garden offices, garden gyms, garden bars, and annexes.
We have a selection of both classic and contemporary models. Our Clarence, Sandringham, and Buckingham models provide more customisations as standard, including options for French, sliding, or bi-fold doors.
Summer Houses
A modern garden summer house is another form of wooden structure. It is a great way of adding comfort and luxury to your outdoor space. They tend to be fully enclosed buildings that have windows and doors, internal furniture, and optional heating.
Our Summer Houses come ready to be enjoyed on day one. They are made from sustainably sourced European redwood, which is recognised for its superb quality and appealing light-brown tone.
They’re also incredibly customisable, offering marine-grade cushion fabrics that are available in 36 different colour combinations, specifically made to be outside year-round for your convenience.
Wooden Gazebos
Imagine a space where you can escape from the pressures of life, a truly indulgent space you can truly make your own year-round – this is where a wooden gazebo is perfect.
You can have it right in the heart of your garden, ideal for entertaining friends, hosting evening dinners and soirees. It can also be a place to relax in the middle of your garden with a good book.
What sets our wooden gazebos apart from any other is down to one key factor – luxury.
Our gazebos have cedar shingle roof tiles, which weather beautifully over time as they naturally transform from red/brown to shimmering silver/grey. The roofs are also capped with premium-weight quality led, and the fixtures and fittings are thicker, broader, and more generous than you’ll find elsewhere.
Wooden gazebos can be equipped with zipper blinds, creating a cosy space inside and providing year-round protection from the weather. This means a gazebo can be enjoyed all year round, not just in the summer.
Garden Shelters
Garden shelters can be both versatile and elegant. Inspired by the versatility of traditional pergolas and our small luxury wooden gazebos, they help to extend the use of your garden. They create a protected space to incorporate your own furniture, hot tub, BBQ, or fire pit.
They’re incredibly flexible wooden structures and are designed to be permanent garden structures built to last whatever the weather and stand the test of time.
You can customise our garden shelters with either a deluxe pergola-style EPDM flat roof or a classic hipped cedar tiled roof.
A 3kW infrared ceiling heater can also be chosen as an extra if you want to use your garden shelter and its amenities all year round.

We have years of experience in designing bespoke summer houses, garden offices, garden gyms, hot tub rooms, and more.
