Plan your DIY Garden Room
Planning your garden room is the first and most crucial step in creating a space that meets your needs and complements your outdoor area. Start by defining the purpose of the room—whether it’s for work, relaxation, or entertainment—this will guide decisions on layout and features.
Considering the size and shape that fits best with your garden is easy on our configurator as you can choose between width and depth of various sizes, while also thinking about factors like privacy, sunlight, ground surface, and accessibility to
It’s important to also factor in your budget, as this will influence your choices for materials, finishes, and any additional features like electrical installations. We’ve made it easy to track your room’s cost as you customize it online, with the total automatically updating as you choose different features.
Taking time to carefully plan out these details will ensure that your garden room is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, providing you with a space you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Tips: When choosing the ideal location in your garden, consider marking out where you want your garden room to be using pegs and string or spray paint so that you can see what size you need & the impact on your garden space.
Don’t forget to think about access to utilities, if you would like electricity and water, think about positioning your Garden Room in a spot that will give you easy access. We recommend consulting an expert to help you choose the right spot before you start building.

Structure of your Garden Room
When choosing the structure for your garden room, you typically have two main options: Timber Frame and SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels). Both have their advantages depending on your needs & budget.
Timber Frame Garden Rooms:
Our Timber Frame Kits offer a cost-effective and user-friendly option, making them a favourite among DIY enthusiasts. They come with the same ToughWood™ cladding and glazing as our standard SIP Kits, ensuring a high-quality garden room that looks great, is maintenance free, and is protected from the elements.
However, the build time is a bit longer, and if you’re not an experienced DIYer, you might need some assistance with the construction. You can also choose to add our high-level insulation pack, allowing you to use your garden room year-round and improving thermal efficiency.
SIPs Garden Rooms:
Our SIP Kits are made of a core of high-grade insulation sandwiched between layers of board. They also feature pre-cut wiring channels that are concealed within the walls and ceiling for high-speed electrics and a smooth interior finish with ease.
SIPs are known for their exceptional thermal efficiency, making them ideal for year-round use, even in colder climates. They are quick to assemble from as little as 3 days, and with our unique ToughWood cladding, they are practically maintenance free! While SIPs can be a bit more expensive upfront, their energy efficiency and durability often make them a worthwhile investment.
