Booths Garden Studios and the Flyover Roof Option

Booths Garden Studios are one of the most established names in the garden room industry. In fact, they were one of the first companies we ever featured when we launched The Garden Room & Annexe Guide more than 16 years ago. Over that time, we’ve enjoyed following how their buildings have continued to evolve. Booths are known for developing systems that prioritise long-term durability and low maintenance, and they are always refining the finer details of their designs.
One feature we’ve particularly liked over the years is their flyover roof detail, sometimes also described as a roof canopy. This extended roofline creates a sheltered outdoor area in front of the building, encouraging an indoor/outdoor lifestyle and helping the garden room feel more connected to its setting.
Cantilevered Roof Engineering
What makes Booths Garden Studios’ flyover roof different is how deep they are able to take the canopy without needing front support posts. Many garden room companies offer a relatively shallow canopy, but Booths can achieve a much deeper projection because of the way they engineer their buildings.
Their roof structure incorporates a welded steel perimeter frame which works in balance with the wall structure, creating a cantilever effect. This allows for canopies that are noticeably larger than what you commonly see on similar-sized garden rooms.
On recent examples from Booths Garden Studios’ Instagram feed, the QCB range features flyover roofs extending out to 4ft (approximately 1.2m). That depth is significant — and importantly, it’s achieved without uprights interrupting the space below. This not only gives the building a distinct architectural profile, but also creates a genuinely usable sheltered area.
A Defined Outdoor Sitting Space
When the optional deck is added beneath the flyover roof, the extended canopy and deck come together as a defined outdoor sitting space. From the projects we’ve seen, the depth is generous enough for a table and chairs, making it a practical area for morning coffee, working outside on warm days, or enjoying the garden into the evening. It’s a simple detail that noticeably enhances day-to-day use, rather than being purely aesthetic.
The QCB Range Is Also Available Without the Flyover
The QCB range as standard has a neatly proportioned cubic roofline that suits modern gardens well. Opting for the flyover roof introduces a different character — giving the building a more pavilion-like feel and emphasising the connection with the outdoor space around it.
The QCB range is available in different exterior colourways, and each design includes a front wall of floor-to-ceiling glazing, creating a clear visual link with the garden. The flyover roof only strengthens this sense of flow between indoors and out.
Lighting Options
Another thoughtful detail is how Booths Garden Studios integrate exterior-grade LED lighting into the underside of the canopy. As Alex and Ian from Booths discuss in one of their YouTube videos, the lighting can be set to different colour temperatures — from warm, softer light to cooler white light. At night, this creates a gentle “curtain” of light down the face of the building, which is both practical and atmospheric.
