If you like the idea of a shipping container garden room, you’ll love the Cargo range by A Room in the Garden. It retains the aesthetic of a shipping container, with its cubist form and corrugated cladding, while offering all the benefits of a purpose-built, multi-layer garden room. The designers at A Room in the Garden have refined the container style to create a building that complements any garden setting.
Cargo is a pre-designed garden room range, making the buying process simple and efficient. You select a building size and customise your space from a range of available options.

Well-Specified as Standard
As standard, the A Room in the Garden team has included many popular features, such as remote-controlled LED lighting, external lighting, and an internet connection. The electrical system is connected to your home, ensuring your new room is functional from the moment it's built.
One of the key features of the Cargo range is the inclusion of tall windows. While most companies offer fixed panes for such windows, A Room in the Garden has chosen tilt-opening units, allowing you to easily let in fresh air without the need to open the doors—a thoughtful and practical design choice.
There are several options to further personalise your building, such as adding extra doors or windows, a green roof, or swapping the plywood interior for a plastered and decorated finish. Each choice is clearly itemised for easy selection.
Nine Sizes to Choose From
The Cargo range is less than 2.5m in height, making it Permitted Development friendly. It comes in nine sizes, ranging from 2.6m x 3.8m to 3.9m x 7.4m, ensuring a suitable option for different garden sizes.
Attention to Design Details
A Room in the Garden is known for their meticulous attention to design details, and the Cargo range is no exception. The doors and windows are carefully integrated into the corrugated cladding, with up/down exterior lighting on either side of the openings to provide practical illumination and a warm glow in the evenings.
Inside, the walls and ceiling are lined with plywood, creating a modern Scandinavian feel. A video on the website offers a closer look at both the interior and exterior finishes. Although this particular building is a bespoke design, it shares many similarities with the Cargo range, demonstrating its stylish design inside and out.
