Garden Offices
A garden office is the ideal way to create a dedicated workspace at home, giving you a quiet, comfortable place to work without taking up space indoors. If you’re looking to buy a garden office, our range offers fully insulated, purpose-built buildings designed for year-round use and dependable day-to-day working.
We offer a selection of garden office buildings in a choice of sizes, styles and constructions — from modern insulated panel designs to traditional log-cabin style offices. Whether you need a compact home office for one person or a larger multi-room setup, you’ll find a garden office here that’s ready to configure to your needs.
When choosing the right garden office, think about how many people will use the space, how often you’ll be working from it and the level of insulation, glazing and electrical setup you need for a productive year-round workspace. If you’d like help selecting the right model, please feel free to contact our experienced customer service team using our dedicated contact form or by calling 01909 768840.
FAQs
Adding value to a property with an outdoor building such as a garden office is a common practice. A garden office can give you use now and be attractive to potential buyers in the future. Increase your floor space and create a more pleasing garden aesthetic. Plus, give yourself the ability to work from home as it fast becomes the norm. Some estimate that a quality garden office can increase your property's value by 5-15%.
Whether a garden building will need planning permission is based on its height, size, placement and what it'll be used for.
The maximum height of a garden office with a dual-pitched roof is allowed to be 4 metres. For any other roof type, it's 3 metres. Anything over this and you'll need planning permission. If you have any concerns, we recommend contacting your local planning authority beforehand.
If you're running a business from your office then you may well need other permissions. The same goes for if you intend to use it as a permanent residential space. Again, it's better to be safe than sorry. This is why we recommend getting in touch with your local planning authority. Or, head over to our blog for more information on garden office planning permission.
Adding plumbing features would likely involve creating gaps through the structure of the garden office building, which would count as a modification. So yes, you can install a toilet, but you would do so at your own risk as it would potentially void our guarantee.
If your garden room isn't close enough to your house to connect to the mains water supply, it may be more expensive. But installing a bathroom in your garden office will be a fairly simple task for a trained plumber. Make sure that you adhere to Building Regulation standards.
An office counts as a place from which your business operates, rather than an item of equipment. Because of this, no costs incurred from the purchase or construction of the office itself can be tax deducted from business profits. But items within your garden office, like furniture and insulation, can be.
A lot of us have transitioned to working from home (WFH) recently. So freelancers, small business owners, and employees are thinking about garden offices. They offer many solutions including:
- Being cheaper than renting office space
- Reducing time and money spent on commutes
- Encouraging productivity by having a professional space outside the home
So why not have a look at our range of garden home office buildings to see if it's the right fit for you?
A lot of our log cabins are designed to be used as home offices. Some of our customer favourites include:
- The BillyOh Kent Garden Office
- The Fraya
- The Winchester
Is a durable building with a large internal space. The multi-room feature on the two larger sizes offers distinct spaces for you and your family to enjoy. The Kent Office has various features like double doors and an overhanging entranceway. Complete with Floor, Roof and Felt as standard.
Designed to complement any garden, The Fraya is a versatile and adaptable building. It features a contemporary pent design and a modern overhang for style and practicality. You can customise certain aspects of this Log Cabin to suit your tastes and needs.

There are a few ways to provide a broadband Wi-Fi signal to your garden office:
- Position your garden building close enough to your house that your home Wi-Fi signal will carry. However, this will depend upon where exactly the router is positioned inside your home, and it might not provide a good enough signal after passing through several walls.
- Get a Wi-Fi extension device, connect it to your router, and plug it in inside your garden office.
- Ask your broadband provider about installing a broadband cable to your garden office.
Options 2 and 3 will require your garden office to have an electricity supply (although, if you are planning to use a computer in it, you probably already considered this). For more, see our post on installing utilities in your garden room and how to install Wi-Fi in your garden office.
To turn your BillyOh garden building into a functioning home office consider:
- Connecting a water supply
- Installing fibreoptic cabling or a router that reaches your house’s WiFi
- Sprucing up the decor with office supplies and a good desk
Whether you plan to use your garden room as a traditional computer office, a meeting room, or even a photography studio, a lot of work will go into creating the ideal garden workspace. Check out our guide to designing your garden office to make sure it is suited to the work you plan to do.
We have a series of guides for insulating garden buildings. Whether yours is made from wood or metal, the principles for insulating them are the same across the board, so you can make use of our guides to insulating a shed or insulating a summerhouse. You will also want to consider damp proofing your garden office for extra protection.
An office kit could save you time and money. While we don’t offer installation, all our buildings are designed to be simple to build.
Our BillyOh garden rooms come supplied as pre-cut tongue and groove panels, cut and measured by our expert craftspeople. Your prefab garden room will come in pieces designed to fit down side entrances or through the house. Each modular unit comes with a comprehensive guide meaning that, with the help of friend, you can have your building up in no time! We recommend costing up the process before you begin - you can find out more about the costs of a garden office in our linked guide.
How to Choose the Right Garden Office
Every garden office starts with how you plan to use it. Think about the work you do, the number of people using the space and how often you’ll be there. A simple one-person home office has different requirements from a multi-desk setup or a studio that doubles as a client meeting room.
Key things to consider include:
- Size and layout – Do you need a compact office for solo working, or a larger building with space for extra desks, storage or a separate meeting area?
- Insulation and all-season use – If you’ll be working all year round, look for higher levels of insulation so the space stays comfortable and efficient in both winter and summer.
- Electrics and connectivity – Most offices will need power for computers, lighting and heating, plus a reliable internet connection.
- Natural light and glazing – Large windows and glazed doors help create a bright, focused workspace while keeping you connected to the garden.
- Planning permission and placement – Height, size and where you position the building can all affect whether planning permission is required.
For over 25 years, we’ve manufactured and delivered garden buildings across Great Britain, supplying thousands of homes with long-lasting offices, cabins and outdoor rooms. Every BillyOh garden office is designed by our in-house product team and produced in our own UK workshops using high-quality timber and modern construction methods. With decades of experience in precision cutting, panel engineering and national home delivery, we understand exactly what’s needed to create a durable, reliable workspace that stands up to the British climate. Our track record, support team and nationwide delivery network mean you can order with confidence, knowing your garden office is built by specialists with a quarter-century of industry experience.
Garden Offices for Different Ways of Working
A garden office can support a wide range of professions and working styles. Freelancers and remote workers benefit from a quiet, professional space away from the main house. Creatives can use the building as a studio for design, writing, photography or craft work. Small business owners can create a dedicated office with room for equipment and occasional client meetings.
If you need a simple, single-room office for one person, a compact cabin such as our Fraya cabin is a versatile choice with a bright, modern interior. For a more formal setup, or if you want separate work and meeting zones, a design like the Kent offers a partitioned layout that can be used as both an office and a dedicated meeting space. Where you need room for several people or a growing small business, larger models such as the Fraya Max give you the floor space to create multiple workstations.
Insulated Garden Offices and Year-Round Comfort
If you plan to work in your garden office throughout the year, insulation is highly recommended. Our range includes insulated designs and SIP (structurally insulated panel) buildings that are engineered for thermal performance. An office space is best served by one of our fully insulated garden buildings, which offer comfortable interior temperatures and efficient energy use during colder months.
Styles and Finishes to Suit Your Garden
Appearance matters when you’re adding an office to your outdoor space. For a more traditional timber look, you can choose a log cabin style garden office. If you prefer something that feels closer to a garden retreat or leisure space, a design inspired by a garden summer house can offer a softer aesthetic while still working as a functional home office.
Within the range, you can select from different roof styles, glazing options and cladding thicknesses to match both your practical requirements and the look of your home and garden. There are also opportunities to personalise the interior and exterior with paint colours, flooring, furniture and decor that reflect how you like to work.
Budget and Long-Term Value
A garden office is an investment in both your work life and your property. Our range includes options for a variety of budgets, from more affordable offices up to larger, premium models. To help you understand the total project cost, including the building, base, utilities and interior fit-out, take a look at our guide to the costs of a garden office.
With good maintenance and the right protective treatments, a quality timber office can provide many years of use. Our designs are built using strong tongue and groove construction and are backed by a manufacturer’s guarantee, giving you the confidence to work from your garden every day.
