Garden Gyms

We would like a garden gym built

 

Right across Britain, especially just after work, hundreds of thousands of people work very hard in the gym to improve their fitness. They recognise the health benefits of losing weight, staying active, and enjoying the other benefits that exercise can bring them such as feeling stronger.

However, driving to the gym can be a hassle and time-consuming and can also it can mean entering a hot and sweaty gym that’s crammed with people. A piece of equipment you have might have wanted to use, may have multiple people waiting around it to use it.

This is why many people are now ditching gym memberships, and contacting garden room companies like ours, for us to build large air-conditioned, heated, brilliant garden gyms.

 

Weight room complete with full-length mirrors

Perhaps you like to lift weights?

If you do, the dumbbells you want to use can sometimes be used by somebody else at the gym, and you have to wait to use them. You have to think about all the people who are using their dumbbells daily and how regularly are they cleaned?

This is why many people like to own their dumbbells: so they can keep their equipment nice and clean, and it’s only them that all their friends and family use the gym equipment within their garden gym.

You can have a full-length mirror installe, complete with a weightlifting chair, and you can pop down to your garden gym whenever you want to start lifting weights.

We now build garden gyms right throughout the United Kingdom

Garden Gym Buildings

When you visit the local gym, you might find that you are using the same gym equipment day in and day out.
Therefore, although that building is substantial in size and potentially has hundreds of pieces of gym equipment within it, you might only use, let’s say, seven pieces of gym equipment daily?

Therefore, if you have a large, air-conditioned, well-built garden room built, you are most likely to be able to fit all of this equipment under one roof, and the best part is you will own the equipment.

 

Your music, your television

at the local gym, they try to play music that suits most people’s tastes. However, the downside to this is that some people won’t like the music, so they have to wear their headphones.

However, we can build a garden building that has surround sound speakers, you might want to have luxurious top-of-the-range speakers installed. You can blast your favourite tunes when working out as loud as you like.

Our builders can also install a giant television screen so that you can play your favourite tracks on the television or listen to the BBC News while running on the treadmill?

 

Wi-Fi, electrical sockets, and dimmer switches

We have in-house hard-working electricians who can work to install many electrical sockets wherever you like in your garden gym.

We can install LED lighting and spotlights into the roof; they can wire and install all the speakers for you as well if you like?

We can also install dimmer switches as well.

Multifunctional home gym

When you visit the local gymnasium, it is often just a large gym in a warehouse and therefore just used as your space to exercise.

However, if you have a huge garden, you can build a vast garden building that could be used for multiple different purposes and not just for lifting weights.

75% of the room could be used as a gym, which has a lot of top-of-the-range gym equipment installed inside.

25% of the remaining space could be a small room used to complete your work. It might be somewhere that you might like to work for a few days a week. It’s quiet, peaceful, and well-insulated, making it a fantastic workplace space. Therefore our garden buildings built in Wales are often used for many different purposes, such as working out, or working within it on your Apple Mac Book.

How much does a garden office cost?

/0 Comments/in /by

 

Introduction

Garden office costs can vary quite considerably depending on factors such as which foundations you want, the size of the building, and which cladding option you select.

For example, if you were to opt for “ground screws”, that is, composite ground screws, then this can significantly reduce the cost for us to build the building.

Concrete foundations require more labour, and the concrete is a more expensive building material. Ground screws are quicker and much lower cost for us to install. Therefore, the building can be constructed at a lower cost.

 

How much exactly does a garden office cost to build?

Prices for what’s called a “garden office pod”– a small garden office—start from just £18k. The price then increases depending on whether you need a toilet, air conditioning, solar panels, or our painting and decorating the room for you.

 

Will planning permission be needed?

So, we build many garden offices, and rarely do we need to seek planning permission from Cardiff County Council for most of these buildings. Often, the building can be built immediately without our construction company needing to submit drawings to Cardiff City Council.

However, sometimes planning permission does need to be sought from Cardiff City Council, and we can often inform you of this straight away once we meet with you in your garden and walk through the dimensions, height, and garden room that you want to construct.

If planning permission is needed, we can arrange for the architect’s drawings to be drafted for an additional fee. We can submit these drawings on your behalf, and wait for planning approval.

How long will it take to obtain approval if planning permission is needed?

Time scales do vary, so the vast majority of the garden offices we build can be built under “permitted development”,—which means that we can start the construction work almost immediately. If you do need planning approval, then it often depends on the time of year.

During summertime, when most of the building work is underway here in Britain, various construction companies will submit many planning applications. This means there can be a backlog. Therefore, if you hire us to build your garden office, planning permission is needed, let’s say, because you live in a conservation area. We recommend that you hire us to draw up the required architectural drawings, which will be submitted to Cardiff County Council as soon as possible.

This will ensure that the drawings are submitted as quickly as possible and that construction work can commence as soon as approved.

What factors determine the price of building a garden office?

The main factors that determine the price of a garden office built by us are:

-Size of the building
-Cladding option that’s chosen
-Whether solar panels are added
-Whether an air conditioning system is required
-Whether decking is required or not

 

How long does it take to build a garden office?

So, we now have a large team, we employ plasterers, painters and decorators, many joiners, carpenters as well as electricians. This means that the building can be constructed, more often than not, in less than three weeks. That’s, of course, if the building doesn’t require planning permission.

 

Are there any optional extras you would recommend?

Yes, it depends on how much you plan on working in the building during the summer months.

But as we all know, here in Britain, we can go from the two extreme temperatures of cold winter days to sweltering summers, which scorch the grass. So, if you want to work in the garden office during the summer, we recommend installing a good quality A/C unit. Otherwise, the black rubber roof will attract the sun’s rays, trapping the heat in the wooden building, and often, it’s too hot to work within during the peak of summer.

 

Do you build garden offices in the winter?

Yes, we do; we build summerhouses throughout the year. Our garden offices are often built in the summer and spring. Yet we build these buildings right throughout the different seasons.

With more people than ever before in Cardiff now working from home, or hybrid working for their employer, this has meant that every day we are now getting calls to build garden offices, throughout the Cardiff areas.

We are often hired to build garden offices, because of our quality workmanship, yet with a starting price of just 18k, we offer cheaper summerhouses, than what some other companies can offer.
