Garden office flat roof construction.

The mini garden office has an attractive contemporary design featuring a flat roof. If you are looking for information on how to build a garden office or garden room from scratch this post will detail my process from a clear piece of land at the bottom of my garden to a fully lined and insulated garden office with working electrics the room is actually going to be a garden studio for my daughter but the construction methods and end result are exactly the same if you are. At gbc we offer a range of contemporary garden offices featuring a flat roof style. Building regulations and planning permission garden buildings that are less than 2 5 meters high and not more than 15m2 in internal area can usually be erected without any building and planning permissions.

Depending on the depth of your roof this is quite a taper and your 2 5m height goes to the highest point of the roof not the lowest. This rule makes a 2 5 meter building a desirable choice particularly if your garden is small. On all our garden rooms and garden offices apart from the cabin style models we fit flat ceilings there is no slope inside our slope is on the top of the roof. The reality is that no garden room should have an absolutely flat roof overwise it will be destined for problems.

The finished building is 1 8m deep x 2 4m wide. The finished building is 1 8m deep x 2 4m wide. At under 10 cubic metres in volume and under 2 5m high this small garden office does not in most cases require planning permission. Another advantage with this construction method is that we can fit ceiling led downlights unlike some competitor.

Fall even though you are building what is considered a flat roof building you need to consider a fall for run off of water. This provides additional usable headroom inside the building and gives a more house like feel. Our range of buildings are available in a choice of finishes including timber and pvcu. So that is why flat roof garden rooms are popular.

Garden rooms higher than 2 5m have to be positioned at least 2 meters from each boundary.
