Crown Pavilions is where
discerning homeowners as

architects and property
developers go for beautifully
designed luxury garden
buildings. Indeed, a bespoke
Crown Pavilions’ structure
will form the centrepiece
for a ground-breaking RHS

customers a bespoke service.
“Home cinemas, pool houses
and bars are becoming
increasingly popular”,

All Crown Pavilions garden
buildings are designed
and built to order in the
company’s Oxfordshire
workshop and installed on
site. Constructed in steel, the
framework offers a sturdy
basis upon which to build
using the finest Scandinavian
wood and Canadian red
cedar.
Business going through the
roof
Prices for garden buildings
start at £20,000, while a
gazebo starts at £7,000,
including delivery and
installation. The company
fulfils around 600 to 700

was a good year for us, we
sold 600 units and expect
to increase that significantly
this year”, says Gytis.

throughout the downturn.
Furthermore, the company
forecasts that turnover will
almost triple to £20m within
the next 3 to 5 years.

have been the mainstay of

accounting for around 95%
