Buildings must not take up more than 50% of the outdoor space (including earlier extensions).
It must be within 2 metres of the property boundary.
It must not exceed an eaves height of 2.5 metres (all our buildings are under this height).
There are more specifics and exceptions to the planning permission rules, with some properties having different requirements. To understand the full details, read our guide on planning permission for a garden room.
With sufficient insulation, you could turn your garden room into a space for guests to sleep. However, planning permission is required for overnight living quarters.
Our garden rooms are all prefab wooden building kits, which are designed to be easily assembled with some basic DIY. If your garden room is a log cabin, it will arrive as mostly individual log boards to be stacked, whereas the insulated rooms will have pre-assembled wall panels.
We do not offer an installation service, however you can feel free to hire a local handyman to complete the project for you if you wish.
With one of our garden room kits, installation should take no more than 2 days (with breaks, of course).
This is assuming you have already prepared the installation area with a solid, level base. Building one of our garden rooms is a 2-person job, so make sure you have a helper ready to join you.
Our customers have used garden rooms for all these types of purposes:
Family sitting room for enjoying the garden in all weathers, similar to a summer house, but warmer!
Garden bar room for private or social refreshments and watching sports
Garden gym for home workouts
Professional salon or studio
Hobby room, mancave or she-shed
Entertainment room or home cinema
Children's play room
While there are extension-style garden rooms on the market, ours are not designed to do this.
Attempting to attach one of our wooden garden rooms to another building would cause problems. The timber needs to be able to shift slightly with temperature changes, not be locked in one position.
Additionally, space is required around all 4 sides of the building for airflow (to dry after rainfall) and for maintenance access.
No. Our garden rooms are supplied as the building only, without electricity, plumbing, lighting or heating. These can all be added afterwards, though most require a qualified electrician under Part P of the UK Building Regulations. For an overview of your options, costs and what's involved, see our guide to adding electricity to your garden building.
Garden Rooms
A garden room is a detached, insulated outbuilding designed as a year-round extension of your home — usable as a home office, gym, bar, studio, cinema or general living space. We've been manufacturing wooden and insulated garden rooms at our site in Nottinghamshire for over 25 years, with sizes ranging from compact 7x7ft retreats up to 16x8ft family extensions, all backed by a 10-year guarantee and free delivery available on most UK postcodes.
Why Choose a Garden Room from Garden Buildings Direct
Every garden room in our range is built from the finest Scandinavian spruce, with interlocking timber boards for our log cabin models or structured insulated panels (SIPs) for our fully insulated options. Each garden room comes with a 10-year guarantee against rot, decay and insect infestation as standard, extendable to 15 years when you select pressure treatment at purchase — a one-time upgrade that lightens long-term maintenance and protects against the UK weather.
DIY Garden Room Kits
Each garden room on this page is supplied as a self-assembly kit, delivered to your property as numbered parts to be put together on site. We do not offer an installation service, but the process is designed to be straightforward thanks to our clear instructions. All you need are some basic DIY tools and one other helper.
Types of Garden Room
There are countless ways to use a garden room, covering both work and leisure. Here are some of the most popular setups our customers create:
Garden Living Room
One of the most popular uses for a garden room is as a second living room connected to the outdoors. On a warm day, throw open the doors and enjoy your garden from the comfort of a sofa; in worse weather, close them and relax to the patter of rain from your sheltered retreat. Used this way, a garden room performs much the same role as a summer house, so it's worth comparing our summerhouse range too if bright space and outdoor views are your priority.
Garden Office
Whether you're working remotely, studying, or running your own business, a home office separated from the main house is one of the best investments you can make in your home. If your work isn't desk-based, the same space can become a garden studio, salon or customer-facing business premises. For buildings tailored to this purpose, browse our dedicated selection of garden offices.
Garden Gym
A garden gym is the perfect way to keep exercise equipment out of the house and train in a private space close to the outdoors. Our garden gym range is curated for this purpose, with floor and timber upgrade options recommended for higher-impact use.
Garden Man Cave
Kit out your garden room with whatever makes the perfect personal escape — a pool table and bar, a gaming setup, a home cinema, or a sports-watching haven. A garden room gives you a dedicated space away from the main house to make entirely your own.
She-Shed
A she-shed is a personal garden retreat designed around what you love — whether that's reading, crafting, art, gardening or a quiet space to escape from the main house. A garden room makes an ideal foundation, with the freedom to fit it out however suits you.
Garden Pub or Bar
Add a bar counter and a few fixtures to turn your garden room into the perfect social space at home. Our garden pubs range is built for exactly this kind of use.
Year-Round Garden Room
If you want to use your garden room comfortably in every season, look at our insulated garden rooms. While you may still need some heating on the coldest days, these rooms retain heat effectively for a cosy environment year-round.
Garden Room Sizes
The right size depends on how you plan to use the space. As a quick guide:
Small garden rooms (under 3m x 3m) — ideal for a home office setup with desk, chair and shelving. Compact enough to sit well within permitted development limits.
Medium garden rooms (3m x 3m to 4m x 3m) — suits a garden gym with room for a treadmill or weights bench, or a small studio space.
Large garden rooms (4m x 3m to 5m x 4m) — works well as a garden bar or entertainment space with seating and a bar counter.
Extra-large garden rooms (over 5m wide) — family lounges, multi-purpose retreats or year-round living spaces. Internal floor area over 15 sq m brings Building Regulations into play if placed within 1m of a property boundary.
