Garden Offices

Home Office Log Cabins

Experience the smart garden office life with a Dunster House log cabin. Manage your work/life balance and reduce your morning commute to a few seconds and arrive with your coffee still warm. Separate your work and home life, allowing you to get the best of both worlds! Our log garden offices have Euro cylinder locks are used in our uPVC doors as part of a 9 point locking system to ensure maximum safety and security. Meaning your important documents or valuable equipment will be well protected.

We don't compromise on quality just because it's a log office. Our garden offices have domestic style uPVC windows and doors, making your garden retreat not only flooded with natural light but secure and highly insulated. The 28mm double glazing provides improved heat and sound insulation. All our glazing is 4mm toughened glass and not styrene, plastic or greenhouse grade glass.

There's no need to 'duck' on the way in through the quality uPVC French doors, with a tall walkthrough height of over 6'0" (1.84m). Our uPVC sliding patio doors have a walkthrough height of over 6'3" (1.91m), and are probably the tallest doors on the market which are great for moving furniture in and out of your wood office.

Insulated Garden Office Studio

Chances are, you’ll be spending a lot of time in your garden office. Whether you’ll be working hard or enjoying some down time. Whatever the reason, both our wooden garden offices and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) office pods are fully insulated, allowing you to use them all year-round.

In addition to that, our log cabin offices offer more variety, styles and insulated options. You can choose between adding insulation to your log office or opt-in for one of our fully insulated home office log cabins.

Our Warmalog insulated log cabins are an innovative concept. Built using a unique 62mm sandwich of timber and polyurethane, which make up the walls. Their U-Value is equivalent to 110mm wall log. An ideal option for any weather, which will keep you and your loved ones warm and cosy. Using our unique triple tongue and groove wall logs and industry leading double glazed windows that are included as standard.

Our insulation is quick and easy to install and helps retain the heat. Thus saving you on your heating bills. We always supply polyurethane insulation, a far better insulation than Rockwool or polystyrene. Even NASA uses it!

Modern Garden Office

If you’re self-employed, a remote worker or a small home business, it’s probably high time you invested in a home office building. With our huge range of wooden garden offices, WPC office pods and log cabins, you will find sleek designs and fully functional outdoor office spaces to suit your needs.

Titania & Helena Garden Offices

Enhance your garden and work life with our smart garden offices.  Our Titania and Helena range are not only attractive wooden garden rooms but exclusive garden retreats. Our garden offices feature a very advanced roofing system manufactured by Izopanel. They use a stiff polyurethane foam core (a material that provides a very low thermal conductivity rating) joined together tightly with overlapping cladding in a trapezoidal profile which makes strong joints that prevent water ingress. Altogether the roof is waterproof, has great thermal characteristics and is uniquely strong. We don't compromise on quality just because it's a garden building.

Our Titania and Helena wooden outdoor office ranges come with fire resistant inner walls for further protection and peace of mind. You can be sure in the knowledge that your garden office has increased protection from fire. The fibreboard comes unpainted, but you can decorate it to your taste, as it is a good surface for paint and is easy to wallpaper.

The walls, floor and vented windows are designed to resist moisture build up and our unique design hinders moisture as the walls of our Helena and Titania ranges have layers of shiplap cladding, moisture resistant membrane, thermal insulation panels and interior walls of gypsum fibreboard, which is also fire-resistant. The pressure -treated floor bearers are covered by a layer of Wood Plastic Composite, followed by layers of insulation and MFP fibreboard. These layers minimize the transfer of moisture through the floor and walls, making your garden office a comfortable working environment all year round.  

Piccolo, Medio & Grande Garden Offices

Our massive range of garden office pods doesn’t end here. We also offer WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) garden offices. Our contemporary garden offices offer unique and customisable exterior designs that are highly resistant to rot and decay. As they are made from WPC, they don’t need painting except for decoration.

By pressure treating our floor bearers we also protect the lowest part of the building from rot and insect infestation. This forces the treatment deep into the timber using a large pressure treatment tank. Due to this costly but effective process we can offer our customers a genuine 10 year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on the bearers with no need for the customer to re-treat this timber at any point during that time. Say goodbye to annually painting your home office building. Instead, focus more on your workload by creating the right space for you and your business needs.

We don’t provide electrics as owing to the multitude of possible configurations available for power and lighting we have left these offices for customers to supply and create their own, exactly how and where they want them.

Theodore & Lienne Garden Offices

Our modern garden office selection also includes the Theodore and Lienne garden offices. These ranges are also made with our pressure treated slow grown spruce timber, just like the Helena and Titania ranges. This means they also come with 10 year guarantee against rot and insect infestation.

The smooth plasterboard interior walls on our Theodore and Lienne garden offices give your shed office a sleek and professional look. The uninterrupted plasterboard is complete with coving boards, just like you would expect to find in a house.

Another premium feature of our Theodore and Lienne modern offices is the EPDM roofing. EPDM has been widely used in commercial and residential flat roof applications for over 30 years. With an excellent record for durability and waterproofing, we give you a 10 year guarantee against rain water penetration.

Installing your EPDM onto the roof of your shed office is very easy. As it’s only one large sheet it means that you won’t have to cover the roof with clout nails as you would with roofing felt or shingles. You simply need to make sure it’s laid flat onto the surface of the roof and beware of any bubbles trapped under the EPDM material.

Just like all our modern garden offices, these ranges are also fully insulated for year round use. The insulated walls, floors and roofs will keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They’ll provide you with the ideal working solutions as well as save you on heating and electricity bills.

Garden Rooms

Extend your living space into the garden with a multipurpose garden studio. It could be the answer to wanting that home extension with no way of achieving it without great cost and upheaval. Just like our log cabin booths, our wood offices are as diverse as our customer needs. Giving you the opportunity to combine your home office needs with your favourite hobbies and activities. 

Create your own garden retreat that’s easily accessible within a few steps of your back door. A space where you can chill out, play some indoor sports or video games. If you’re into fitness, perhaps a space to work out in peace. Better yet, get the noisy teens out of the house with a teenage den. All these options are possible with our smart garden offices.

Garden Office Shed

Our garden office sheds are ideal if you are in need of some extra storage on the side. Combine your luxury garden office pod with a variety of sidestores that are sure to please all tastes and needs. Our side stores have 28mm interlocking log walls that attach to the side of your garden office building. They come with a single solid door and domestic door handle and lock to match the log cabin.

Our log cabin sheds are ideal if you are in need of some extra storage on the side. Combine your luxury log cabin with a variety of sidestores that are sure to please all tastes and needs. They are an attractive, practical storage addition to any garden building. Store your essentials in a place that’s easy to retrieve them from. Whether it’s your lawn mower, motorbike, bicycles, garden tools or even to shelter your mobility scooter, rest assured your belongings will sit in a safe place right next to your garden building.

Garden Office Summerhouse

You will enjoy working in your own garden office summerhouse. No commuter stress or high office rents to worry about. Simply let your space and personal taste be the guides to which garden building suits your requirements.

For contemporary tastes, our cabin offices in apex or pent roof styles, pressure treated garden office pods and WPC garden offices may be more satisfactory.

We know how important it is to have a bright and airy space to work. Hence, our Titania garden office has large opening windows and double French doors along the front wall of the building. While our Helena garden office range features a large patio sliding door.

Available In a choice of uPVC colour options; Grey, Rosewood and Golden Oak Wood Effect or White. Both ranges come with 4mm toughened glass which make up the 28mm double glazed units as standard. Allowing you to relax and enjoy your garden all year round.

Maintain Your Garden Office

To ensure your wooden garden office has a prolonged life, it’s crucial that you take the correct measurements to maintain it properly.

Our wooden office range is fully pressure treated. This means you will not need to retreat it against fungal decay and insect infestation for up to 10 years. However, we do recommend treating it with water repellent for timber maintenance.

For more information, take a look at our how to maintain your garden office guide.

If you’re choosing a Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) garden office, then maintenance will be minimal. However, it’s recommended that you wipe the external walls down with warm soapy water every now and again to stop them from getting stained.

Maintain Your Log Cabin Office

For log cabin offices our experts recommend choosing the right treatment for your log cabin booth and that you treat it as soon as it’s built. At Dunster House, we offer a variety of wall preservatives that are solvent and water based. In addition to selecting the best log cabin treatment, it’s also important that you re-apply treatment when required. This will depend on the log cabin preservative you have chosen.

Furthermore, creating an environment that aids moisture control is an important element in maintaining your log cabin. Make sure measures are in place for the roof, floor, foundations and surrounding drainage to help shake off extra moisture and prevent rot, fungal and insect infestations.

At Dunster House we use pressure treated floor bearers to protect the lowest part of the building. We use a large pressure treatment tank that forces the treatment deep into the timber at high pressure. Due to this effective process, we offer our customers a genuine 10 year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on the bearers.

For more information, take a look at our how to maintain your log cabin guide.

Don’t forget

Your garden office building is made of timber, a natural product that will contract and expand according to the UK’s unpredictable weather. Once the garden studio is erected, there will be a period of “settling” as the wood reacts and adjusts to surrounding climate. Splits and cracks may occur over time but that shouldn’t compromise the quality of your garden building.

The use of interlocking tongue and groove timber in our log cabins help with the strength and stability of the walls as well as the natural expansion and contract of the timber.

Planning Permission For Outdoor Buildings

You may have found exactly what you’re looking for, a wooden office pod to your exact taste and measurements. That’s great! However, before placing an order for your wooden garden building, it’s important to familiarise yourself with any planning permissions or building regulations that may apply in your area.

The good news is our garden office buildings don’t normally require planning permission. This is due to our unique designs that utilise the maximum width and height available to us. Thus giving you as much garden space as possible, without the need to opt for tall garden retreats. Although we have a wide range of under 2.5m log cabins, some exceptions may still apply. This is why it’s vital that you check whether you’ll need planning permission or not.

To make it easier for you we created a quick step Planning Permission questionnaire to help you determine whether you’ll need it or not.
