Garden Offices with Sheds

If you're considering using a garden shed office, there are several important factors to keep in mind. A standard garden shed is typically single-skinned and made from timber, which means it can be cold and damp in the winter, and far from ideal for a comfortable workspace. The lack of insulation allows cold to seep through, and temperature fluctuations often lead to condensation. Additionally, if a timber shed isn’t regularly treated, it can become prone to leaks, further compromising its suitability. 

To create a practical and comfortable year-round garden office shed, your building needs to be warm and dry. This requires proper insulation and a reliable heating source. While converting an existing shed into a garden office might seem like a cost-effective option at first, it can quickly become an expensive and impractical choice. Once you factor in the costs of electricity, lighting, heating, and internet connection, the investment in a structure not originally designed for longevity may not be worthwhile. In many cases, garden sheds office spaces that aren't built for heavy insulation lack the structural integrity required, leading to issues such as bowing roofs or even collapse.

For the best results, we highly recommend investing in a purpose-built office shed in garden space.
