A Garden Building for Every Season at B&M

Spring, summer, autumn and winter. All very different seasons with different strengths, weaknesses and requirements when it comes to spending time in your garden. Thankfully there are loads of garden buildings whose designs and features leave them perfectly placed to excel in a particular season.

Here’s a quick rundown to help inspire you in 2026!

Spring: Encourage New Growth with a Greenhouse

Spring is the time for growth. Birds are singing in the trees, baby animals are frolicking through the fields and fresh new buds are popping up on plants and shrubs across the land. Where better to spend your time this season than in a greenhouse, where you can put your green fingers to good use and add to that new growth?

Whether it’s helping tiny seeds to bloom into vibrant, thriving plants, or launching a grow-your-own journey with fruit and vegetables, a greenhouse provides the perfect environment for your springtime adventures.

Wood and aluminium are two of the key materials when it comes to greenhouse construction. Here at B&M Garden Buildings, our wooden greenhouses come in a mix of contemporary (like the 4' x 4' Forest Wallscape Lean To Greenhouse with Solid Back) and historic styles (like the 3' x 4' Forest Victorian Walkaround Greenhouse), with both lean-to and standalone options to suit every garden shape and size. Solid wooden frames and hefty anti-rot guarantees are a hallmark of these Forest Garden products, so if you favour a more natural style of garden building then they’re a must-have for your garden.

On the aluminium side, our Palram Canopia greenhouses tend to have that classic greenhouse shape: a tall apex roof, a metal frame and clear polycarbonate panels. With sizes as large as 8’ x 20’ (like the 8' x 20' Palram Canopia Balance Green Greenhouse), these greenhouses deliver an unbeatable amount of practical growing space at budget-friendly prices. You can choose between grey, green and silver frames, which will all look right at home among the natural earthy tones of a garden.

In terms of features to be on the lookout for, some greenhouses come with roof vents to help you regulate the inside temperature. Others boast in-built shelving to house your plants and provide working space for that all-important potting and planting. Some even have integrated guttering systems, collecting rainwater for a sustainable water source.

Whichever material, size and features catch your eye, you can trust that you’re getting a top-notch greenhouse that’s high on quality and low on price from B&M Garden Buildings.

Summer: Relax in Style with a Summerhouse

Summer is the time for relaxing and basking in some great weather. The days are longer, the evenings warmer and the kids have weeks and weeks of time away from school to enjoy. Where better to spend your time this season than in an appropriately named summerhouse, where you can make the most of the milder months?  

Summerhouses are incredibly versatile buildings that you can turn into whatever type of room you wish. The most obvious choice would be a comfy seating area, with chairs that you’ll never want to leave, a handy side table for your drinks and nibbles, and soft furnishings like cushions and rugs to add colour and warmth. Many a happy hour can be whiled away in this kind of setting, gazing out across the garden from every angle thanks to the huge (and numerous) windows.

Or if you’re looking for a bit of peace and quiet away from the kids, why not use the space as a cozy reading nook, complete with squishy sofa, bookcase and blanket? You could even flip things around the other way and turn the summerhouse into a dedicated kids’ zone, encouraging them to spend time outside of their bedrooms, away from their screens and closer to nature.

All of the summerhouses in our collection, such as the stunning 8' x 6' Forest Beckwood Double Door Apex Summer House with 4 Windows, are produced by Forest Garden. This means you can expect stylish designs, exquisitely crafted wooden structures and huge 25-year anti-rot guarantees across the board. You can also expect an interior that’s flooded with natural light, high-quality glazing and wide double doors that you can fling open at any time to make the most of the lovely summer weather.

If you’re a fan of traditional stylings then check out the apex roof variations, while there are pent roof options like the 8' x 6' Forest Beckwood Double Door Pent Summer House for those who prefer a cleaner, more modern look. And with sizes ranging from a petite 6’ x 4’ up to a spacious 12’ x 8’, it all comes down to outside space versus inside space. Plus, of course, budget but you’ll be delighted to know that all of our summerhouses represent fantastic value for money and can be yours for less than you might think!

Autumn: Pack Summer Away with a Shed

Autumn is the time for tidying up after summer and storing everything away securely. The growing season is drawing to a close, the daylight hours are dwindling and the first of the year’s big storms is surely on its way. Where better to spend your time this season than in a shed, where you can get everything tucked neatly away ahead of winter?

The humble garden shed is arguably the most classic of all the garden buildings. Traditionally used for storage, they give you the perfect place to tidy away summer garden furniture, to store bikes and bulkier gardening equipment, and to even create an at-home workshop where you could indulge a hobby or two.

You’ve got four main decisions to make when it comes to garden sheds: size, roof type, windows or windowless, and material. For wooden garden sheds, we’ve got the Forest 4Life, Beckwood and Timberdale ranges, which combine quality with winning prices. These sheds, such as the 10’ x 8’ Forest 4Life Double Door Apex Wooden Shed, come with massive 25-year anti-rot guarantees and modular structures, which makes them easier to assemble and means you have options when it comes to door and window placement. Whether you go entry-level with a 4Life or premium with a Timberdale, these sheds represent amazing value for money.

For plastic sheds, those in the Palram Canopia Skylight range are a cut above thanks to their virtually unbreakable UV-protected polycarbonate panels and unique skylight roofs. Maintenance-free and with a 10-year guarantee, sheds like the 6' x 8' Palram Canopia Grey Skylight Plastic Shed are a smart pick for any garden.

Or if you prefer a metal garden building, then check out our selection of metal sheds from Yardmaster. Sleek, stylish and available in a variety of colours, sheds like the 10' x 8' Yardmaster Green Metal Shed are built from hot-dipped galvanised steel for super strong structures, boast the company’s unique seven protective layers to guard against corrosion and are virtually maintenance-free. Simply assemble, install and neatly pack away that garden furniture and those garden tools this autumn!

Winter: Snuggle Up with a Log Cabin

Winter is the time for snuggling up in front of a fire or under a blanket. The nights are longer and darker, the central heating is blaring, and the weather is treating us to storms, frost and sometimes even snow. Where better to spend your time this season than in a log cabin, where you can continue to enjoy time out in your garden long after the sun has set?

Log cabins share some similarities with summerhouses and sheds in that they’re versatile spaces. A smaller one, like the Forest Harwood 3m x 2m Log Cabin, could make a great home office, with room for a desk, chair and storage facilities. A medium-sized one, like the Palmako Lea 4.9m x 4m Log Cabin Garden Office, lends itself to a lounge room, with sofas and a table. And a larger one, like the Forest Blakedown 6m x 4m Log Cabin, would make a great at-home gym or even a music room, with plenty of space for exercise or musical equipment.

What helps to set log cabins apart from other garden buildings is the shear solidity of their structure and their handsome appearance. Thick, interlocking log walls give the cabins their iconic look and provide welcome insulation against the cold, while wind braces, heavily framed windows and doors, and hefty floors and roofs all reinforce the impression that these garden buildings have been meticulously designed and built to last.

While you might assume that this premium quality comes at a cost, the truth is that purchasing a log cabin is a more cost-effective way to add an extra room to your house than shelling out for an extension or conservatory. We’ve got some great value-for-money cabins from top manufacturers too, so why not treat yourself and set your garden up with an inviting place to spend time in any season – but particularly in winter.
