A popular trend in garden room design is the addition of a covered deck area beside a fully insulated outdoor room. This combination creates an outdoor space that’s perfect for year-round enjoyment, regardless of the weather.
Classic Garden Room by Garden Fortress
Garden Fortress’s Classic Garden Room 6 range offers a stylish blend of a contemporary insulated room with a large covered deck. This versatile addition can be used as a dining area or even to house a hot tub. The range is available in standard sizes detailed in their price guide, and bespoke options are also possible.
Owners of these garden rooms benefit from panoramic views throughout the year, thanks to the corner of floor-to-ceiling glazing that maximises natural light and scenery. The covered deck provides an inviting, shaded area for relaxation during warmer days.
Cedar and Burnt Siberian Larch
While many garden rooms with large covered decks use a single cladding material such as Western Red Cedar, Garden Fortress’s Classic Garden Room 6 introduces a striking mix of Cedar and blackened Siberian Larch. This blend adds depth, with the dark Larch accentuating the rich tones of the Cedar. The dramatic contrast between the black-clad walls and the Cedar roof canopy is particularly eye-catching.
For the Larch cladding, Garden Fortress employs a traditional Japanese technique of brushing and burning the wood surface. This method not only boosts the durability of the material but also achieves a contemporary black finish. The black theme extends to the window and door frames and the deck, which is constructed from black composite decking. This composite material is resistant to colour fading and offers a slip-free surface, unlike timber.
High-Quality Interior Finish
Inside, Garden Fortress rooms feature high-spec plastered and painted walls and ceilings, contributing to a polished, modern appearance. Light grey laminate flooring, trimmed with black skirting boards, completes the look. The electrical setup includes LED downlights inside and out, controllable remotely from the main house. Thoughtfully placed reading lights on the rear wall provide the perfect touch for a cosy seating area, demonstrating Garden Fortress’s customisation options.
