The Firwood Garden Room

Our clients, Rosie and Tom, on The Firwood, commissioned us to install a Garden Room at the end of their garden. Their garden narrows to a wedge shape and they asked us to build a Garden Room to make maximum use of the area. There are a few established trees in this area which were left undisturbed so the shape and size of the Garden Room was determined by this factor.

We had several meetings prior to commencement of the project to discuss their options, needs and vision. Once we were all clear on that vision we were in a position to begin the work. With a steady supply of tea and biscuits we set about bringing the vision to life.

With the shape of the garden and proximity of the trees we constructed a solid base that was 5 metres wide on the front elevation narrowing to 3 metres on the back elevation forming a slight wedge shape leaving ample space around the perimeter to access the compost heap and log store to the rear.

Build

We like to work as efficiently as possible when building a Garden Room and this is evident from the start with our floor construction. See our Projects page for full construction details.

The base was constructed using a threaded rod and concrete pile system. The floor frame was manufactured from 75 mm x 100 mm treated timber and the wall frame structure was manufactured using 45 mm x 95 mm treated timber. The roof was manufactured using 125 mm x 45 mm treated timber.
