Timber Garden Rooms

Timber garden rooms use pressure-treated softwood framing and cladding, giving an authentic, natural look at a lower price point than cedar. Cedar garden rooms offer richer colour tones and extra natural oils for longevity, while composite garden rooms combine recycled wood fibre and polymers for minimal maintenance. Whichever you choose, we apply the same high-performance insulation and breathable membrane to keep the building warm, dry and durable.

Yes. All Timber (Wood) Garden Rooms come with foil-backed PIR insulation in the floor, walls and roof, plus double-glazed doors and windows as standard. Many customers add under-floor heating or a climate-control unit to create a comfortable workspace or workout zone even in sub-zero temperatures.

Most of our timber garden rooms fall under UK Permitted Development because they are under 2.5 m high at the eaves and installed more than 2 m from a boundary. Taller styles such as Apex Garden Rooms may need consent if you’re close to a boundary. Our team runs a quick check for every order and can prepare drawings to support an application if required.

We build traditional Apex and modern Pent roofs, plus contemporary Eco Pods with sedum living roofs. All options use structural timber joists, breathable felt underlays and a 20-year EPDM or steel covering for leak-free performance and efficient rainwater run-off.

If you’re still weighing up the options, explore our Cedar, Composite, Combination, Apex, Pent, Eco Pod, Contemporary, Georgian, Luxury, Insulated and Traditional Garden Rooms collections. Each shares the same British craftsmanship and 10-year guarantee, letting you compare aesthetics, budgets and features before choosing the perfect build.

We pre-treat every board before installation. To keep your timber cladding looking its best, apply a UV-protective oil or paint every 3–5 years. Gutters should be cleared annually and hinges lubricated – simple tasks that help your garden room last decades.
