Timber Cabins
Our garden homes are supplied unfurnished as a ‘blank canvas’ so that you can furnish and decorate them to your own taste. All you need is sufficient space in your garden (please see our helpful section on planning permission below).
Home Garden Office
Working from home is about as ‘green’ as you can get in terms of saving time, energy and money. More and more people are doing it. Our Office Cabin makes a really viable and cost effective option. The cabins can be configured for a single home worker or take account of the need for a waiting room or perhaps a treatment room with changing facilities.

Garden Office
Our range of buildings provides the perfect division between home and work life and come in a variety of sizes and styles to suit. Such a solution also gives a professional working environment free from distractions and avoids the cost and disruption of moving to a bigger house.
The benefits of a home office are hard to ignore. Time previously wasted commuting can be spent with the family, exercising or rediscovering a once-loved hobby. And the green credentials of working from home also mean a garden building can help us to achieve a more sustainable future.
Useful need not mean utilitarian, and the outside of your garden office can have an attractive veranda with either steps or a wheelchair ramp for easy access. And the central heating, double-glazing and insulation options for your garden office are not only practical for year round use but also reduce energy costs.
Our staff are experienced in handling planning applications and a garden office should not be a problem from a planning perspective. Whether you are self assembling or using an assembly service, within a few days your garden office will be ready to move into. Just stroll across your garden, switch on the computer and you are away.

We offer a range of wood thicknesses and the thickness used will depend on what you plan to use it for. For non-residential purposes such as garages and carports we use 45mm to 70mm logs. For our standard garden buildings the logs start from 28mm and go up to 100mm. And for our wood homes we use thicknesses up to 200mm for added comfort and warmth.
Optional Extras

- Floor thickness (19mm or 28mm)
- Roof insulation boards
- Different types of windows and doors

The Process
If you know what you require you can simply order your garden building using our online store. However, if you need some help and advice, our sales advisors are on hand to guide you through every step of the process. This involves choosing the most suitable building, discussing the wide variety of options, offering advice about any planning applications needed before installation and discussing what will happen on the day you take possession.
The available options are vast and we are always delighted to share our knowledge and experience. The vital ingredient you can add to the mix is your style. Together we can decide on the configuration that most suits for your needs.
If necessary, we can clear your land, level the site, and install foundations. We also provide a comprehensive after sales service with 24 hour emergency cover.
The Concept
You will receive a well-designed and high-quality garden building. These buildings can be modified to your exact requirements and we offer a range of options to suit any need.
These options include a variety of treatments, insulation and verandas. The laying of foundations can also be included if required.
Practicalities
The site should be large enough to allow for the building and a curtilage of at least one metre. Services such as gas, electricity and water are usually taken from the main building so do allow for this and consult a qualified professional.
