How to plan the ideal garden room gym

There is much to consider if your garden room is to become the perfect bar. The main issue will be the size of your building. Your garden bar must be large enough to accommodate everything you need but shouldn’t overwhelm your garden. Our impressive garden retreats are available in numerous sizes and so you can choose a garden room that works well for you as a space in which to entertain while suiting the proportions of your garden. Here’s what you need to think about:

Aspect: Where and how should your garden room bar be positioned?
Furnishings: How large should your bar be and what seating do you require?
Flooring: What type of flooring would complete your perfect space?
Storage: Do you require storage such as shelving or fridges for your drinks?
Entertainment system: Would you like your bar to feature a sound system, a television or even a juke box?
Power: How many sockets will you require and where should they be located?
Broadband: Do you need broadband and if so, how will you extend it to your garden retreat? You can do this via powerline networking, ethernet cable or WiFi PtP.
Heating and aircon: Your bar could quickly lose its appeal if it is too cold in winter and too hot in summer.
Toilet: Should your bar boast a toilet or are you happy to pop back to your house?
Multipurpose space: Would your garden room bar work better for you it was also a gym, a mancave, a home cinema or a hobby room.
Versatility: You may yearn for a bar right now but what will you need in the future? To maximise the benefits of garden room and the value it can add to your property, design a space that could be repurposed in the future to become accommodation, an art studio, a craft room or a summer house.

Once you have identified everything that must be accommodated in your garden room bar and where your building should be located, you can settle upon the right size of building, whether that be a small garden bar or something a little larger. We will construct a stunning building that you can complete with your preferred fittings and furnishings. We will take the hassle and stress out of building your garden room bar and ensure that the finished article is everything you dreamt of and more.

Do you need planning permission for your garden room bar?

Most garden rooms will not require planning permission. Garden buildings can usually be constructed under your permitted development rights as they are considered to be outbuildings that are incidental to your enjoyment of your property. However, some garden bars will require planning permission. This is because there are restrictions on the size and height of garden room that you can build under your permitted development rights. There are also restrictions on where it can be positioned on your property. Garden bars that feature toilets or kitchens may require planning permission. You will find detailed information regarding what you can and can’t do without planning consent on our planning permission page.

Do garden gyms need building regulations approval?

If the floor area of the building is between 15 square metres and 30 square metres, you will not normally be required to apply for building regulations approval for your garden bar. This is providing that the building contains no sleeping accommodation and is either at least one metre from any boundary or is constructed substantially of non-combustible materials.
