Summer House?

3 replies

CheaperthanaConservatory · 10/08/2021 18:41

We are thinking about getting a Summer House but our garden is sloped.

We would like to have it in this location but I'm I'm bit concerned that it may not be a suitable place.

The ground is sloped but we would be putting it near a neighbours garage and also we have a pesky manhole that comes up to quite a height.

Do you think it's feasible to level it all off and get summer House over Inspection chamber with a trap door for access?

Has anyone else done anything similar? It's a surface water drain but since its back of garden it will be neighbours surface water.

Just trying to get ideas before I start having a real good look.

Thanks in advance.

Ignore the messinessBlush we have been cutting back shrubs anyway as we want to make more of the area whatever we do.

I'm not sure that I totally understand the project. Are you going to raise the level to the height of the manhole cover, which means raising the level up against that wall. Will that breach your neighbour's damp proof course?

We would need to raise the height yes. Although there would need to be a gap between garage and summer house (how much I don't know). We didn't put the circle in but it looks lower than what it would have been previously so I suspect there has been some excavation there. The bit in front of garage is already at a higher level. Possibly we would use decking to bring up the height. I've just not got a clue if feasible or not!
