Boundary fences play a vital role in defining and protecting our gardens. Ideally, these would all meet at 90-degree angles, giving us perfectly uniform spaces. However, many properties have fences, walls, or hedges that are set at irregular angles, creating uniquely shaped gardens.
When adding a garden room, these irregular boundaries can pose a challenge. Square or rectangular structures can leave awkward, inaccessible spaces between the building and the fence, ultimately wasting garden space.
The solution? While many garden room companies limit their designs to standard shapes, Garden Spaces offers a bespoke design service. With tailored designs, you can make the most of your garden’s shape, avoiding ‘dead’ zones and maximising your building’s usable space.
This irregularly shaped garden room with an integrated storage space by Garden Spaces illustrates this bespoke approach. As shown in the floor plan, the client’s garden has a rear boundary fence set at an acute angle.
If they had opted for a standard rectangular structure, they would have been left with an inaccessible triangular area behind the garden room, as well as a significantly reduced internal space. Thanks to Garden Spaces’ ability to customise the structure, they maximised the available footprint, creating a main room with 12.1 sqm of internal space and a useful storage room offering an additional 3.1 sqm.
A Fully Functional, Bespoke Interior
Concerns about awkward internal spaces in irregularly shaped garden rooms are common but often unfounded. Garden Spaces’ design offers a sleek, light-filled interior. Built using highly insulated SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) and layered with specialist materials, this garden room is comfortable year-round.
The interior is plastered and decorated as standard, with a range of options to personalise the space. Garden Spaces offers choices in flooring, heating and cooling systems, and audiovisual solutions, allowing the room to suit a variety of needs.
While there isn’t a photo of the storage room, Garden Spaces typically lines storage spaces with OSB (Oriented Strand Board), a highly durable material. They can also incorporate lighting and power sockets, tailored to your requirements.
Durable, Stylish Exterior Finishes
The exterior of this garden room combines two durable finishes. The front elevation is clad in Thermowood, a thermally modified timber known for its durability, stability, and resistance to decay. With its natural honey-brown hue and attractive grain pattern, Thermowood can be left untreated for a low-maintenance finish.
The door to the storage room, clad in matching Thermowood, is seamlessly integrated into the design with careful alignment of the wood grain. The hidden fixing system used by Garden Spaces ensures a streamlined, modern finish.
The side and rear walls are clad in cement particle boards, which offer high resistance to moisture, fire, and pests. These boards are finished in RAL7016 Resifine, a resilient Anthracite Grey shade that matches the doors and trims for a cohesive look.
This garden room project was completed in just three weeks on-site, highlighting the efficiency of Garden Spaces’ bespoke service.
