This 5.5m x 4.8m garden gym by Hargreaves Garden Spaces stands out with its practical design tailored for fitness enthusiasts. At 2.8m tall, it provides the extra headroom often required for workout equipment like treadmills or cross-trainers.
A Bespoke Garden Gym in North Yorkshire
Hargreaves Garden Spaces worked closely with their North Yorkshire clients to design a gym that met their specific needs. The result was a spacious garden room featuring:
- Increased ceiling height (2.8m) for maximum comfort.
- Air conditioning for year-round usability.
- Bi-fold doors, connecting the indoor gym seamlessly with the garden.
This bespoke approach demonstrates Hargreaves Garden Spaces’ commitment to creating unique spaces that cater to individual preferences.
Why a Taller Garden Gym?
Standard garden rooms typically measure 2.5m high, which can feel restrictive for gym use. Increasing the height to 2.8m, as seen in this project, is a smart solution, especially for those with taller equipment or who prefer an airy, open feel.
Since buildings over 2.5m require planning approval, Hargreaves Garden Spaces assisted their clients with the application process, providing necessary drawings and ensuring all paperwork was completed successfully.
Scandinavian Redwood Cladding
The exterior of the gym is clad in Scandinavian Redwood, chosen for its cost-effectiveness and natural charm. This durable timber has a honey-toned colour and distinctive knotty grain, treated to resist insect and fungal damage.
Over time, Scandinavian Redwood weathers to a silvery grey, though it can also be stained if a different aesthetic is desired. For those looking to balance quality and budget, it’s an appealing alternative to pricier options like Cedar or Larch.
Modern Interior with Air Conditioning
The interior is a mix of plastered and decorated walls, a sleek wooden floor, and modern finishes. Air conditioning, a key feature for garden gyms, ensures the space stays comfortable during workouts. The discreet system includes an internal unit mounted high on the wall and an external unit positioned on the building’s rear elevation.
Aluminium Windows and Bi-Fold Doors
The gym features aluminium-framed windows and bi-fold doors, which not only enhance natural light but also allow the entire space to open up to the garden. This design fosters a stronger connection with the outdoors, ideal for post-workout relaxation or summer exercise sessions.
