Unusually shaped garden gym to maximise the site
A tapered Garden Spaces gym filling a garden that narrows to a point, running from 4.75m at its widest to 1.26m at its narrowest, with a reinforced floor and a glazed front.
Square and rectangular garden rooms offer versatile spaces, but they aren’t always the ideal solution for maximising an awkwardly shaped plot. If your garden’s boundaries create an unusual shape, a standard rectangular garden room can leave you with wasted, ‘dead’ space around it.
For such sites, a bespoke garden room design is the answer. Specialists like Garden Spaces approach each site individually, creating garden rooms that fit the land perfectly. This garden gym building is a prime example of that approach.

Tapered garden gym design
As shown in the site overview plan created during Garden Spaces’ quotation process, the clients’ garden tapers to a point at one end. Rather than leaving this area as unusable space, the Garden Spaces team has transformed it into a wonderfully light and airy home gym.
By designing a custom-shaped garden room that follows the garden’s contours, they’ve minimised dead areas around the structure. This clever design makes full use of the plot, maximising usable space.
Using durable, maintenance-free exterior materials, Garden Spaces has ensured that building close to the boundaries won’t impact the room’s longevity. The gym spans from 4.75m at its widest point to just 1.26m at its narrowest.
High-performance insulation and premium finishes
Garden Spaces uses high-quality Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for the core structure, resulting in a highly insulated building envelope.
Designed as a home gym, this garden room features several tailored options: from specialist rubber impact flooring to reinforced walls and ceilings for securing resistance equipment. In this build, the floor has been reinforced to safely bear the weight of the gym equipment. This feature, while not offered by all garden room companies, is highly recommended when creating a garden gym.
Inside, the light, airy atmosphere is enhanced by plastered and decorated walls and ceiling, while floor-to-ceiling glazing along the front allows lots of natural light into the room. A smaller side window provides easy ventilation, creating a comfortable workout space.
Careful on-site preparation
As part of their careful planning, Garden Spaces organised the access route and materials storage before starting construction. They also took precautions to protect the garden itself. Since the build took place just before Christmas, Garden Spaces used protective measures to preserve the grass around the site, which will recover fully by spring.
This attention to detail stands out, as some winter garden builds, we see, often leave the surrounding area muddy and disturbed.
