What’s a Hexagonal Summerhouse 8×8?

A hexagonal summerhouse 8×8 isn’t like your average outdoor shed. For one, it’s meant to be used as an extension of your home. For this reason, the ceiling will be a lot taller than the average storage shed so you don’t have to stoop down to walk into it.

The octagonal shape means that it has eight sides. This not only is a great way to fill the small outdoor space you have, but is also aesthetically pleasing, and will look fantastic in any backyard.

Be Inspired By a Corner Summer House 8×8

Many people may wonder what to do with an octagonal summerhouse 8×8 and immediately consider it for storage. But a summer house is much more than storage space.

Some people like to use a summerhouse as a getaway from their home, especially when the travel restrictions are in place. You can go there to rest after a long day at work. You can read a book or enjoy a drink.

Do I Have to Prep My Outdoor Space?

If you’ve finally found the perfect corner summerhouse for sale, then you’ll need to do some preparation of your backyard space.

You’ll want to clear away any garbage, garden debris, and gardening equipment. Consider the space around the summer house too. It may be a lot more difficult to do maintenance around there if your new summerhouse is blocking the way.

Consider drainage too. This will not only protect the base and inner floor of your summerhouse, but it can extend its life too. You can place wood pallets down, or pour concrete or install a brick base where your summerhouse can be placed.

If the pavement is going to be raised, you may wish to consider having some brick or concrete steps so that it’s easier to walk up to your summerhouse. This is also helpful for people with mobility issues to more easily step up the platform to get inside.

How Do I Maintain a Summerhouse?

Just like your own house, you should maintain your summerhouse too. At least twice a year you should hose down your tiny house to keep it looking clean. If there are windows, clean them both inside and outside, on a more frequent basis.

The inside of the summerhouse may track some debris, so you’ll want to keep a broom and dustpan handy.

If you see any cracks or chips in the summerhouse that expose it to the elements, these can be filled in with caulking from your local home improvement store. If you see any structural issues, please consult your summer house warranty or guarantee, as these may be fixed.

What Can I Put Inside a Summer House 8×8?

You can place a wide variety of furniture or decorative items inside a summerhouse, as long as you have enough room for them. You may wish to purchase your summer house, then measure it after it’s delivered and installed.

Also consider windows that may open. You don’t want to block a wall when you may need to open a window in the summer. This way you can ensure that your desired desk or sofa and table will fit inside.

You may wish to use all the space effectively by buying a tall shelf that can fit office supplies, or a tea set or bottles for a small bar.

You’ll also have space to hang some pictures or paintings, to make your summer house look more welcoming to you. You can place a small rug on the floor so it feels more comfortable to you.

If you need light, you can run an extension cord from your main house and out to your summer house.
