Our Authentic Arctic Structures are designed to cope with extreme weather conditions and provide insulation throughout the year.

In many cases, garden buildings fall within permitted development guidelines and may not require planning permission. However, planning requirements depend on factors such as your property type, location, how the building will be used and whether your property has restrictions.

Planning permission may be required for listed properties, restricted land or certain commercial uses. Garden Exteriors recommends checking your individual circumstances before installation.

Customers need to arrange a suitable base before installation. The base must be level, stable and large enough to properly support the chosen garden structure.

Suitable bases can include paving, decking, slabs or concrete, depending on the structure being installed. 

If you are not sure what to do or where to start, we can help. Contact us to find out more.

Garden Exteriors will discuss access requirements before installation. Ideally, the structure is moved through external garden access, but alternative options may be possible depending on your property layout.

If there is no side access, customers should contact the team so they can assess whether installation is achievable.

This allows your garden lodge or room to be designed around your intended use and garden space.

Garden Exteriors specialises in supplying authentic garden structures, including garden lodges, garden rooms and Arctic structures.

They do not operate as a general landscaping company, so services such as planting, lawn installation, fencing, patios or complete garden makeovers are not part of their core offering.

However, their team can advise on the requirements needed to prepare your garden for your new structure.

No. Garden Exteriors specialises in standalone garden buildings rather than brick-built home extensions.

Their focus is on authentic timber garden lodges, garden rooms and Scandinavian-inspired outdoor spaces.

Once installed, customers can personalise their garden room or lodge to suit their own style and requirements.

Garden Exteriors structures are built using quality Scandinavian Redwood and are designed for longevity. The felt roofing and tanalised sub-frame are covered by a 10-year manufacturer guarantee, with the remainder of the structure covered under Garden Exteriors’ own guarantee terms.
