Can I use my garden room in the winter?

Absolutely! Your garden room can be a cosy retreat during the winter months with just a few considerations. First, ensure proper insulation to maintain warmth, opting for double-glazed windows and well-insulated walls and flooring. It just so happens that our garden rooms have sturdy 72mm double-skinned walls and efficient EcoQuilt insulation technology, while the tongue and groove wooden floors feature Air Tech insulation. Buildings in the Sherwood range have 100mm double-skinned walls, giving even more insulation.

Make your 5m garden room even more welcoming for winter by incorporating effective heating solutions, such as electric heaters or a wood-burning stove, to create a comfortable ambience. You can find out more about the options available to you by reading our guide to heating a garden building in the winter. Also, consider stylish and warm furnishings, like plush rugs and throws, enhance the space's cosiness. Consider energy-efficient lighting to brighten darker winter days.

Embrace the season by decorating with winter-themed elements like warm-toned textiles and seasonal foliage. With thoughtful planning and suitable features, your garden room can transform into a welcoming haven during the winter, providing a delightful space for relaxation, work, or entertainment throughout the colder months.

Can I connect my 5m wide garden room to the WiFi?

WiFi is one of a few options for linking your garden room to the internet. Depending on where your garden room is positioned in relation to your WiFi hub, you might find you’re in range. However, it could well be the case that you need a signal booster to extend your WiFi coverage. If that doesn’t work, the quickest, easiest method of hooking up to the internet involves tethering to a mobile device – but using large amounts of data this way could have cost and stability implications.

If you need to regularly download large files, stream movies or make video calls, you’ll probably need a more permanent solution. Installing an ethernet cable, for example, will provide you with a reliable and steady connection. To find out about the various options in more detail, read our guide on how to connect your garden building to the internet.

Why buy a 5m garden room?

It’s always a good idea to go for the biggest sized insulated garden room your budget and space allow. This gives you much more flexibility in terms of how you use the space, how you might change that usage over time, or even how you present this extra room if you sell your property in the future.

Our 5m insulated garden rooms are some of our most luxurious buildings and are often used as private home offices, family games/cinema rooms and stylish entertainment zones. They’re a perfect way to expand your living area, offering plenty of quality insulated space to relax.

Remember to consider the size of your garden when you’re deciding which sized garden room to buy. It’s important to leave an access path for maintenance around the entire outside, and to check the planning permission rules if you’re losing a significant portion of your garden. Our 5m garden rooms are more suited to larger gardens.

What is the biggest sized garden room I can have without planning permission?

As long as your garden room takes up less than half of your garden space and has a floor space of under 15 square metres, it’s unlikely that you’ll need planning permission. There are other factors that influence whether you’ll need to apply for permission, so it’s always best to ask your relevant local authority or check out the official planning portal to know for sure.

What are the most popular ways to use an insulated garden room?

Our larger 5m garden rooms are incredibly spacious and have enough room to host summer parties or accommodate extended family for big Christmas dinners! A dedicated entertainment room, set up for socialising, will make you a popular host.

We know that peace and quiet can be important to help you get your head into work. Insulated garden rooms make excellent home offices away from the hustle and bustle of family life. A 5m x 3m garden room is the ideal size for an office. There’s plenty of wall space for a projector — essential for big presentations and important Zoom meetings — and lots of places to set up a generous-sized desk and office storage.

As an extension of your living accommodation, our large 5m x 5m garden room makes a fantastic multi-use area where the whole family can come together to relax. Add a table for playing cards and your favourite board games, a comfy sofa bed for the occasional guest, and some clever storage to keep yoga mats, games consoles, craft materials and snacks, and you’re all set for some fun nights in!

Whatever you decide to do with your 5m garden room, connecting electricity expands your options for working, movie nights and crafting. Check out our guide to getting your garden room hooked up to the mains and make sure you use a professional electrician whose work complies with building regulations.

Ultimately, your new insulated garden room is a place to let your imagination do the talking. Wallpaper, bright paints, wall art and indoor plants are fantastic tools to make your space a warm, welcoming and inspiring place to be.
