For gardens

The spare room at the bottom of the garden.

An insulated steel cabin as a garden office, studio or hobby room — made in Manchester by the factory that presses the panels, delivered fully built by crane or as a kit you assemble.

What it’s good at

Built like a factory. Sized like a shed.

An office that stays warm

The shell is 80 mm PIR insulated steel panel — the construction commercial buildings use — with a pine-lined interior. It holds its temperature through a January workday and a July afternoon alike.

A studio with the good light

The glazed gable end is the whole of one wall. North-facing it's painters' light; south-facing it's a greenhouse of a reading room. Either way, it's the feature everyone comments on.

Nothing on your weekend list

Steel doesn't rot, warp or need re-staining. The powder-coated shell that arrives is the one you'll have in ten years — washing it down is the entire maintenance schedule.

A colour that isn't shed-green

Any RAL colour, powder-coated in-house at the factory. Match the house, match the garden fence, or pick the anthracite from our photos.

The three questions everyone asks

Power, planning, price — answered straight.

Is it wired?

The cabin is supplied as an insulated shell — glazing and door included, wiring not. For an office you’ll want an electrician to run an armoured cable from the house and fit sockets; it’s routine work on a building like this. If you’d like services included, ask when you enquire and we’ll price it.

Do I need planning?

Often not, for a day-use garden room within the usual limits — and usually yes if anyone will sleep in it. The ridge is 2.8 m, which matters for where you site it. The planning guide covers it.

What does it cost?

£6,000 inc VAT as a kit you assemble (£5,000 ex VAT), or £7,500 inc VAT built and craned in — before delivery, in any RAL colour. Full price breakdown.

Tell us about your garden.

Postcode, rough access — gates, side returns, anything a crane or a pallet has to get past — and what you’ll use it for. A real person at the factory replies within one working day.

Tight access is exactly what the kit is for: it arrives as palletised panels and goes up with two people and hand tools, no crane needed.
