Size & space
Select a garden office that fits your garden while providing enough room for desks, storage, and comfortable movement. Ensure there’s space around the cabin for ventilation and maintenance.
Wall thickness & insulation
For all-season use, choose cabins with 44mm+ thick walls and double-glazed windows to maintain a stable temperature. Additional roof and floor insulation enhances energy efficiency.
Planning permission & regulations
Most garden offices fall under permitted development, but always check local regulations, especially if exceeding 2.5m in height.
Foundation & base
A level concrete base or paving slab foundation prevents structural issues and enhances durability. Raised foundations improve drainage and protect against dampness.
Windows & natural light
Large tilt-and-turn windows allow plenty of natural light while ensuring good ventilation, creating a bright and comfortable workspace.
Electrical & Internet
Plan for power sockets, lighting, and heating for your garden office. A wired Ethernet connection or strong Wi-Fi signal ensures reliable internet access.
Weatherproofing
Our log cabins are built to last.High-quality wood stains and paints enhance durability and keep your garden building looking great.
Garden office security & accessibility
