More and more people like the idea of having their own Garden Office, being productive in a tranquil and relaxing space. But getting your requirements right can be a daunting task. At Crane Garden Buildings, we have decades of experience to help ensure your office design and build is suitable for your needs – so you can transform the way you work.
Here are our top tips to consider when purchasing your garden office.
Size
Think about what you need the garden office for. Perhaps you need a workbench to create your masterpieces, or maybe just a comfy space to work from your desk?
Space is a key factor in the decision-making process. There’s no such thing as ‘no space’.
Whether you have a small spot tucked away at the back of the garden or a few acres spare; at Cranes we are able to ensure your garden office is the perfect size for you.
Use
Will you be in the office 9 to 5 all year round, or are you looking to use it sporadically during the warmer months? It's essential that the functionality of your office is tailored to your needs. We have many options to ensure year-round comfort, including wall insulation and lining to double glazing and electric heating.
Weather
The UK is renowned for its April showers… and rain throughout the year as a matter of fact! If you do not invest in the right insulation and lining, there's a risk that your outdoor workspace is too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. Fortunately, our luxury garden offices can withstand the wettest of UK weathers. For example, you can opt for additional guttering or a heavy duty felt lining. A pent roof also works wonders in diverting away rainwater from the timber.
Security
Safety and security is essential for any office. If you're using your garden office as a workshop, you will likely have highly valuable tools and equipment, not to mention you will probably use the space as storage for your creations. We offer an additional security pack for our buildings, which includes a heavy-duty sliding bolt and steel window bars, warding off any unwanted visitors. You can learn more about our security options in our article 'Garden Shed and Workshop Security'.
Style
The key to productivity is having a comfortable space. A huge part of this is having it reflect your own style. The fantastic thing about having your own outdoor workspace is that you can add as many personal touches as you like.
We are more than capable of tailoring garden buildings to match your style, with design options including several exclusive Exterior Colour Ranges. Let your imagination run wild and we'll do the utmost to realise your vision.
Environmental Impact
At Crane Garden Buildings, we provide high quality, sustainable timber. Our timber is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) certified, meaning that it can be traced back to the forest it came from, and a new tree has been planted in the former one's place. It’s a win-win situation. You’ll be doing your bit for the environment whilst enjoying a long-lasting investment in your garden space.
With our extensive range of luxury Garden Buildings, we're bound to have your new ideal workspace. We design and install not just offices, but Garden Studios, Summerhouses and more. Even better, all of our garden buildings are delivered and installed for free as part of our dedicated service.
