Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
In almost all cases, garden rooms are classed as outbuildings, which means that you will not need planning permission. However, it’s always best to check with your local authority.
Supplied in a wide range of sizes and styles to suit any outdoor space, our range of log cabins from Forest Garden offers a natural and traditional solution to extending your living space outdoors. The garden cabins can be used for a wide range of applications, such as a home office, home gym, hobby room, or just a space to relax with unique views into your garden.
This range of garden log cabins is manufactured with the Great British weather in mind – they are produced with chalet-cut corners as well as a six-sided joint to protect against strong wind and rain. All log cabins in the range are also manufactured using FSC® certified timber to ensure both quality and sustainability.
We recommend applying a solvent-based preservative after assembly to ensure that any water is not absorbed into the timber. The colour of the timber may change over time – perfect if you’re a fan of the weathered, rustic look! However, if you’d like to keep your log cabin the same colour throughout its lifespan, you can simply apply colour-based timber treatments regularly to maintain the colour.
