Shipping container garden office with air-con

Many people like the idea of converting a shipping container into a garden office, and it can be a cost-effective solution, but they do lack some of the style and finesse of a timber-framed garden office.

Shipping containers come in several different sizes, in both new and used condition. Companies such as Containers Direct offer options to convert a standard shipping container into an insulated garden office.

There is a lot of clicking to do on the Containers Direct website to see all the options, but you can specify different door styles. You can add external timber cladding. You can choose to incorporate a layer to control condensation - this is important, and you can add an insulated timber frame to make the office a comfortable place to work all year round.

You can choose an internal melamine lining and for the container office to be electrically wired. You can even fit air conditioning to control the temperature all year round.

JC Climate Solutions

JC Climate Solutions can also install air conditioning into timber-framed garden offices. The ideal solution for existing garden offices owners, where you wish you had installed air con. Contact JC Climate solutions on 07954 160678 or contact them via their Facebook page.
