Timber Garden Structures For Year-Round Success
Timber is more affordable than other building materials.
When treated correctly, timber is built to last for many years.
Timber is a sustainable material, especially when ethically sourced.
It is a strong and durable material.
The aesthetic is timeless, while colours can be easily changed.
Timber supports the natural tones of the garden surroundings.
Timber is a relatively low-maintenance material.
The material is very versatile and can also be used for corner garden offices.
When designing your dream home office building, you must consider several key considerations. After choosing the right size of structure for your garden spaces, selecting the right material is vital. High-quality timber is the preferred option—not only for its aesthetic properties but also for its functional benefits.
If you work from the garden office, you will naturally spend long periods in this structure. Therefore, controlling the climate is one of the biggest challenges you’ll face. Insulated garden offices provide comfort throughout the long British winters, while integrated windows and opening doors will help with air circulation in the summer.
This provides a far more comfortable experience than metal buildings, for example, thus allowing you to utilise the space in all seasons. Other benefits include;
At 1st Choice, we work exclusively with premium quality timber for pressure-treated framing (on our Platinum and Royal ranges), T&G shiplap, and T&G log laps. Two-thirds of us want to embrace greener lifestyles, and this is the perfect choice. When added to the practical, visual, and financial incentives for timber, it is ideal for your garden workspace.

Are garden offices better than in-home office spaces?
If you need a dedicated space to support your WFH lifestyle, deciding between in-house or garden structures is a personal choice. Still, the self-contained nature of a garden office makes it easier to support a work-life balance. Likewise, you will avoid facing the same distractions as working in a busy household or losing a guest room for the office transformation.
Are garden rooms the same as summerhouses?
Not quite. While they share similarities, summerhouses are simple spaces used primarily for relaxing. However, garden rooms are more luxurious and offer a far more comprehensive range of possibilities. Both will improve your garden's aesthetic and function. But bespoke garden rooms are the answer if you want a gym, studio, or office.
Are garden rooms worth the investment?
Indeed, investing in these buildings is valuable as they not only improve your living experience and provide flexible areas for various uses but can also elevate the value of your property.
Do you need permission to build a garden room?
Typically, they won't require planning permission, provided it is categorised as an outbuilding, and your property possesses permitted development rights. However, you would need planning permission if you are looking at self-contained living accommodation.
How can 1st Choice help with garden rooms installation services
At 1st Choice, you'll receive a comprehensive service that covers every aspect from conception to completion. Whether you need help to design your corner room or need a contractor to prepare the foundation and build the structure to the highest possible standards, call us to get your project started now.
Is it cheaper to build or buy a garden room?
Constructing a building on your own can be more cost-effective than purchasing a pre-built one, especially if you have a more modern design or unique specifications and are prepared to dedicate the necessary time and labour to its creation.
What are the benefits of these buildings?
Garden rooms offer many benefits, including creating a workspace separate from the main home, increased property values, and a host of leisure functions that improve your quality of life. Better still, you can tap into those rewards without the negative aspects of more extensive home upgrade projects.
What is the average price of traditional garden rooms?
The price for constructing a brick building can typically vary between £15,000 and £30,000. A timber building will be about half of that. This cost fluctuates based on the dimensions of the garden room building materials and the particular features it includes.
What is the maximum size of a garden room without planning permission?
To sum up, if you wish to construct one without needing planning permission, it should be a single-storey structure that occupies no more than 50% of the entire space surrounding your home and features eaves that do not exceed 2.5 meters in height from the ground level of the main house.
