summerhouses
Seasonal outdoor shelters
Summerhouses are small garden structures meant for sitting outdoors in pleasant weather.
They're typically open or lightly enclosed, providing shade without full shelter—a place to read, take tea, or enjoy the garden: The old summerhouse at the edge of the property had a view of the pond.
