What is a Garden Office?
A garden office is a free standing garden building that is separate from the house, providing you with a place to work from home in. It is different to a garden shed or garden room because it must have insulation and double glazing. This is purely down to the fact that it is designed for year round usage, and is expected to be a professional working environment. A smart garden office is also a cost effective way to showcase a small company, especially if staff are local. They are often set up for one or two people, however they often accommodate three, four and five occupants. There are many models to choose from, ranging from garden sheds that need adaptation, right up to bespoke designs that are constructed from scratch.

Boost Your Finances
Commuting is expensive! According to the latest data from the ONS, bus and rail fares have risen by more than three times the rate of inflation, with the annual price of railway journeys seeing an average increase of 4.5%.
With some train season tickets costing more than £5,000 in the big smoke and the average Ford Focus driver paying £4,800 on commuting each year, more and more people are looking to tighten their budgets. Did you know that you can buy a small office for the garden from just £7,500?
Other research has shown that it’s cheaper for Londoners to commute from Madrid and still have money left over for a Real Madrid season ticket or Michelin-starred meals.

Compare Garden Offices PricesWhat does a garden office include
Insulation | Insulation is included in the floor, walls and ceiling. You have a choice of Rockwool or Celotex in the walls and ceiling, but the floor has 75mm foil backed insulation as standard. This is important as it stops the cold coming up from the concrete pad |
---|---|
Electrics | All wiring and faceplates are included. The wires are installed within the cavity, just like a normal house would be so that the building isn't ruined by trunking or visible cables. |
Assembly | We include the most difficult parts - the manufacturing and the assembly. That's much better than a book of instructions and a garden full of loose timber, and other materials. |
Double Glazing | You'll never be warm without it - that's why it's included in the price. Not only that, it keeps out the noise and improves the efficiency of the garden office, so it is much cheaper to run. |
Plan your Garden Office
To get the best out of your work space, make sure you plan before you buy. Not only must you plan where it will go in the garden, but it will also help if you plan the layout.
Use the Ikea room planner and add furniture in the space, to determine just how efficient or inspiring the environment can be. It even creates a shopping list for you to buy later.
