The Original Summerhouse

Chelsea Summerhouses Limited was established in May 2011 following the administration of Amdega Limited. The two Directors of Chelsea Summerhouses had over 36 combined years working for Amdega and recognised that Amdega’s best product was the ‘Chelsea’ range of garden buildings. Models of these buildings can still be viewed at certain RHS gardens throughout the country.


In 1989 Amdega purchased a company called L F Knight of Reigate, a company that had been manufacturing garden buildings and exhibiting at Chelsea Flower Show since the early 1900’s. These designs have stood the test of time and are now manufactured by Chelsea Summerhouses using the original drawings and manufacturing jigs. Fully constructed from Western Red Cedar these buildings are built to last. Many of the companies in existence today have imitated the designs of the ‘original’ summerhouse.
