Question 1

Why buy a 5m garden room?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Can I use my garden room in the winter?

Accepted Answer

Insulated garden rooms from Waltons are specially designed for use throughout the year, including the winter. The extra insulation and sturdy double glazing help the interior to retain heat and remain comfortable all year round. An effective way to keep your garden room warm through the winter is by installing an air source heat pump. It keeps your space cool in summer too. Check out our guide to ventilation to see how to get airflow going in your garden room.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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.

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.

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.
