TOP TIPS FOR BUILDING A GARDEN ROOM OR LOG CABIN ON YOUR PROPERTY

Adding a Garden Office , Home Gym or outdoor living space can be an exciting , but significant decision . With over 70 years ’ experience in timber house production , Gardenhouse24 make this process as painless as possible . Gardenhouse24 can help you every step of the way - from expert Consultants who can help you choose the right product for your site , through to experienced installers .
Here are our top tips for successfully adding a Timber product to your home : 1 . Choose Wisely There are lots of timber product retailers out there , so it ’ s important to choose carefully and ensure that the product quality and service offering are of the highest standards . At Gardenhouse24 , we ’ re passionate about delivering the finest wooden products in the UK , using the highest quality Nordic timber . We strive for perfection in everything we do & we only work with high-quality , FSCcertified suppliers .
2 . Planning Permission Always find out if the structure you are about to build requires planning permission , because failing to do so may mean the taking down of your building in the future . Luckily , most garden rooms don ’ t require planning permission , but we always advise that you check with your local authority .
3 . Levelling Ground and Foundation Next it ’ s time to look for the perfect spot for your cabin . Choose a suitable location for the foundation , ideally a spot that allows natural light in , is perhaps slightly elevated to provide good drainage , and is relatively level . Even if you ’ re on a tight budget , it is good to invest in a solid foundation . The foundation is the base that keeps a building stable for years to come and carries the weight of the entire structure .
4 . Electric , Phone , and Wi-Fi You ’ ll be spending time enjoying your new garden room – particularly if it ’ s in use as an office , so it ’ s important to have steady electricity , reliable internet , and a phone connection .
5 . Constructing Your Garden Office Gardenhouse24 cabins can mostly be self-installed , but we always recommend our specialist installation service , available with any product in our store . Why not trust the experts to build your new gardenroom , log cabin , sauna or hot tub ?
