GARDEN BUILDINGS

-

Work space, hobby room, mini gym or just a retreat from the sun and showers, a garden building extends your living area to provide a uniquely personal space. It means you can warm up in the cooler weather and escape the midday sun come summertime. The array of garden structures is ever increasing and, depending on your budget, you can choose from a wide range of styles, from readymade or standard summerhous­es, to architect- designed bespoke buildings. Insulation and an electrical supply add to the cost but maximise the number of hours in the day and weeks of the year you can use the space. Most garden rooms don’t need planning permission, but the rules vary from place to place, so check with your planning o ce before you start.
