If you’d like to know more about insulated garden rooms with a side shed, here are answers to some of the questions our customers often ask us.

How to build a base for a garden room

As a substantial outdoor garden building, you’ll need a firm, level base for your new insulated garden room with an integrated side shed. A well-constructed paving slab or concrete base is best suited to this kind of installation. For full details on how to go about building a sturdy base suitable for your new purchase, please check out our guide to building a shed base, which contains step-by-step instructions for both methods. Building a base for your garden room is within the capabilities of a competent DIYer or for your local builder or landscaper.

How to heat a garden room

An insulated garden room is designed to retain warmth, but if you feel you need an additional heat source, there are many ways to heat your room. These include electric heaters, a wood burner, a heat pump, and underfloor heating – as long as you have the appropriate utilities installed, you can use all the same heat sources as you’d use inside your home. For more information on heating an outdoor building, please refer to our guide to how to heat a garden building in winter.

How to stop damp in a garden room

Our high-quality insulated garden rooms are highly resistant to water ingress and dampness, but problems may ensue if your building is constructed on a base that’s not level or a base made from an inappropriate material like wood, for which an insulated garden room is too heavy. Subsidence will distort any building, resulting in doors and windows not fitting properly and weakening joints. We also recommend a regular maintenance schedule that includes checking the roof for damage, clearing plant matter from around the building and giving it a good coat of wood treatment each year.
