A Leisure Building For Any Purpose
The current generation of garden rooms are better value than ever before. Even people with very modest budgets can enjoy them for a fraction of the cost of what they used to be. This is partly because the number of people installing them has gone up in recent years but also because of the modern SIP panelling systems that mean self-assembly is now very easy and cost-effective. In other words, you don't need to break the bank with the sort of DIY garden rooms you can now get hold of. Other than their cost-effectiveness, what are the other major benefits of installing a high-quality garden room on your property yourself? Read on to find out.
A Leisure Building For Any Purpose
With a dedicated room in your garden, you will have a space that you can put to any leisure purpose that you want. Enjoy pool, snooker or table tennis? A leisure building that is dedicated to your chosen activity will mean you can enjoy doing it at any time. Of course, when you create hobby space with a new room in your garden, you can also use it for more than one purpose, perhaps as a home gym or workspace during the week and a hobby area at the weekends? The point is that when you create hobby space, it can be multi-functional and suit the entire family's needs without taking up valuable space inside your home.
A Workplace Outside of Your Living Quarters
Many people work from home as a matter of routine these days. It was becoming increasingly popular – at least on a part-time basis – before the advent of the Covid crisis. However, since Covid lockdowns were put in place, the number of people using a home workspace full-time has risen dramatically. Unfortunately, for some, this has meant converting a spare bedroom or working from home at the dining room table. This takes its toll on family life, so a dedicated workspace where you really get on with your work at home uninterrupted is always preferable. DIY garden rooms provide this ideal working environment that helps you to be more productive during the day as well as being able to switch off from work and relax in the evening more easily.
Somewhere to Enjoy in the Summer and Winter
If you think of a garden room as a summerhouse, then you are only seeing part of the potential on offer. Today, you can obtain fully insulated panels and roofing structures for DIY garden rooms which means they will be just as cosy in winter as they are open and spacious in summer. Elements like double glazing and thermally insulated walls are the standard whether you want to create a garden workplace you can use year-round or somewhere to enjoy your preferred leisure activities. The sort of structural insulated panels that these free-standing structures are made from a lightweight but still offer superb levels of thermal retention.
Low Running Costs
Of course, the thermally insulated building materials available nowadays don't merely mean that your room will be a viable space to work from in the winter months. This is because they will also afford you with a place outside of your main home that is cheap to work from, too. If you have noticed that your heating bills have shot up because you work from home more than you used to, then you ought to consider just how much cheaper it would be to work from a fully insulated room in your garden instead. With double glazing that keeps heat trapped inside, they warm up within minutes. Likewise, these thermally insulated structures also prevent too much of the sun's energy penetrating in the summer, so you'll always remain comfortable during the day.
Feel the Benefits of Natural Sunlight
Needless to say, double glazed windows and roof panels also mean being able to bring lots of natural sunlight inside the structure to where you will want it. Whether you want to create a garden workplace that feels light and airy or simply want to be able to see what you are doing without electric lights when enjoying your hobby, the glazing is optimised to provide light throughout the day whilst maintaining privacy. Fully glazed doors will also help to make your room feel spacious as well as light.
Create a Place to Get Fit
Not everyone wants to run outside in winter or to get their exercise outdoors when it is raining. Setting up a home gym with some weights, an exercise bike and a treadmill will allow you to get into good condition without having to face the worst of the British weather! Many of the best fitness machines are designed to be folded up after use, so setting up a home gym in your room does not mean it needs to be only dedicated to that purpose. Many people find their gym can also double-up as a place to get work done, too, without any hassles whatsoever.
Add Value to Your Property
Today's high-tech structural insulated panels mean that although garden structures are just as good as the bricks and mortar of the average family home, they do not cost a great deal to put up. Therefore, free-standing rooms in gardens are among the best ways to increase property value with very little outlay. You can improve the square footage of your home and increase the property value of your residence with a very practical but affordable additional area. Compared to extending your home or carrying out a loft conversion, the return on your investment will be immense.
Better Levels of Privacy
Want to do something privately? Perhaps you need to speak to colleagues about confidential matters that must not be overheard? Maybe you have sensitive data on your screen that should not be overlooked? Whatever the reason for needing extra privacy, a room in your garden is so much better than one in your home. This is because you can see people coming. Even if you shut an internal door in your home, people in your household may still enter from time to time. This is not the case if you are working from your garden structure, however.
Enjoy More Space Immediately
As previously mentioned, a new garden space to work or play in adds value to residential properties because they are widely viewed as desirable by would-be buyers. Even better, is the fact that they can be put up much, much more rapidly than extensions. Extending your home often needs planning permission, building inspections, deep foundations and time to complete the project. By contrast, external rooms in your garden can be fitted in a matter of a couple of days, depending on the size of the structure you want.
Add Structure to Your Garden
Remember that an extra room in your garden does not just add living and working space to your home. With a carefully thought-through installation, it will be of benefit to your garden's design, as well. In other words, a room in your garden ought to become part of the garden, occupying a space that fits in with the other structural elements, such as patios and pergolas, hand-in-glove. Many garden structures of this type will not just be a great leisure building to enjoy for years but create a sense of destination within the garden as a whole.
