Well, the next best thing has to be a garden building to extend your home outdoors. Whether it’s a teenage den, toddler playroom, garden office or summer house for entertaining there are so many different types of buildings to choose between it’s hard to know what will work best for you.
Here are our top tips to help you choose the best space for you;
- Budget – before you start looking at the various garden buildings available, you need to decide on your budget to ensure you get the most out of your money.
- Purpose – will you be using your garden building for business or pleasure? This will help you decide on the type of garden building which is most suitable for you. For example, if this will be a play area for a child, a summerhouse would be best, however, if you want a spare room you should consider one of the log cabins available from GBC Group.
- Style – You may want the outdoor building to complement your home, and there are many different styles of garden buildings available to suit everyone’s taste. For example, you may go for a vintage-inspired wooden pavilion to entertain friends, whereas someone else may opt for a modern garden office.

Once you’ve decided on the style of garden building you want, find out its measurements from the manufacture and use tent pegs to mark out its dimensions in your garden to get an idea of how your garden building will sit within the garden.
