Adding a storage room alongside the main space has become one of the most popular design choices for garden room buyers. This garden gym by Garden Spaces is a prime example, of blending functionality and style. The 6.3m x 4m building footprint is cleverly divided into a main room for use as a home gym, with a discreet storage room positioned to the left.
High-Spec Interior Finish
Garden Spaces utilises Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for the core structure, creating a robust, highly insulated building envelope. The main gym room features high-end finishes, including plastered and decorated walls and ceiling, along with quality wooden flooring.
This bright, modern space is illuminated by recessed LED downlights, with an ample supply of power sockets for gym equipment. For colder days, a slimline electric panel heater ensures comfort. Garden Spaces also offers a range of heating and cooling solutions tailored to your preferences.
Durable Storeroom
In the storage room, the OSB (Oriented Strand Board) face of the SIP panels is left exposed, providing a practical and durable finish. This allows for easy installation of storage shelves and hooks to optimise space. The Garden Spaces team will collaborate with you to determine the lighting and power configuration based on your storage needs.
Looking at this project, you may notice the “secret door” on the front elevation, designed to blend seamlessly with the wall cladding. This flush door, faced with Cedar cladding, matches the wall surface perfectly, creating a hidden entry to the storage area.
Garden Gym Specialists
With over 15 years of experience, Garden Spaces has built bespoke garden rooms for various uses, from home offices to self-contained garden homes. They have become one of the leading garden gym specialists, understanding the specific demands of gym spaces.
Garden Spaces designers work closely with clients to customise the layout and specifications to meet individual gym requirements. This gym building, with an overall height of 2.5m, is Permitted Development friendly. However, many clients opt for taller garden rooms to allow for greater headroom with gym equipment. For these projects, Garden Spaces can also handle the planning application process for the additional height, ensuring a seamless experience.
The Garden Spaces team recognises that gym equipment can be heavy, and they have systems to strengthen the floor structure. They can also reinforce walls and ceilings to accommodate wall or ceiling-mounted equipment.
Customisation Options
Garden Spaces offers a range of options to enhance your garden gym. For all-season comfort, they can install air conditioning systems to maintain an ideal temperature. Adding a shower room can increase the functionality of your gym, both for immediate use and future adaptability. For gym-specific flooring, they also offer options such as rubber flooring to enhance the experience.
