It is necessary to leave sufficient working room
around your summerhouse when you're putting
it up and also to allow for the possible need to
replace a piece of glass or for further wood
treatment. If possible try and leave a space of 2ft/610mm around the summerhouse.
Note that the door opens outwards so you should not have any higher ground or obstacles outside
the front of the summerhouse.
Choose a site where the summerhouse is relatively easy to get to and convenient to bring a supply of
electricity to.
Finally, and most importantly, choose a site where your Alton summerhouse will look right so that it
will complement your garden.
