Scandinavian BBQ Huts

FAQs

In most cases, planning permission isn’t required as our huts are classed as garden buildings. However, larger sizes or certain locations (e.g. conservation areas) may need approval, so we always recommend checking with your local planning authority.

Our cabins come in sizes from 4.5m² (ideal for 3–5 people) to 16.5m² (seating up to 21). We also offer extensions and corridor links for even larger accommodation options.

Our Scandi BBQ huts are specifically designed to be thermally efficient, and provide the necessary ventilation required to utilise your Scandi Hut for a variety of uses. All Scandi Huts above 7m² come with extendable benches for sleeping as standard and are great for any occasion.

Unless your summer house has been specifically designed to meet proper thermal and ventilation standards for indoor cooking, it is not suitable for BBQ use. Grilling inside could create serious health and safety risks, including fire hazards and smoke inhalation. By contrast, our Scandi BBQ huts are purpose-built with ventilation systems and smoke extractors, ensuring safe and enjoyable BBQ use indoors all-year round.

With 45mm thick walls and a 28mm insulated floor as standard, our cabins are built for true all-weather use. For those who want an extra layer of comfort, we also offer optional roof insulation for even greater heat retention (available at an additional cost).

All of our cabins are handcrafted from sustainably sourced Scandinavian pine, chosen for its strength, natural beauty, and durability.

Whatever your needs, your hut is made to your exact specifications.

Yes – a BBQ hut is absolutely worth the investment. Designed for year-round use, they provide a versatile space that quickly becomes the centrepiece of your garden. Owners often use their huts several times a week, rain or shine, making them a practical and enjoyable addition.

Beyond personal use, BBQ huts are also highly versatile, they can add unique charm and value to holiday rentals or Airbnb listings, serve as an attractive feature for hospitality businesses, or simply offer a cosy retreat at home. Stylish, eye-catching and cosy, they create the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or dining in comfort. Over time, their frequent use and wide range of applications ensure you’ll get excellent value for your investment.

Our huts are incredibly versatile — perfect as garden retreats, guest accommodation, outdoor dining lounges, party spaces, or even Airbnb rentals. Each comes with a BBQ and a fitted cover, so when you’re not cooking, the grill transforms into a practical table. Prefer a completely open layout? You can also choose to have your hut built without the BBQ, giving you a flexible space for any purpose you have in mind.
