Foundation Options:

1. Ground Screws: The ideal solution for clear, debris-free ground, such as soil free from roots or rubble. Ground screws provide a stable, level base; with the number of screws varying based on the garden room's size.

2. Concrete Pads: Best for debris-filled ground (with roots or rubble), concrete pads are the preferred choice. Small holes are filled with concrete and topped with durable blocks, offering a robust foundation tailored to the room's dimensions.

​

Our experienced team will determine the best foundation for your site during a visit, ensuring optimal stability and durability.​​

​

Base - Our garden rooms rest on a solid base, constructed with 4x2 treated timber. Below the frame, we add a breathable membrane and fit 100mm PIR insulation between the timbers, providing superior thermal efficiency. The base is finished with moisture-resistant chipboard flooring, glued and screwed for enhanced strength. This tried-and-tested system mirrors the construction methods used in home extensions and loft conversions, offering a sturdier alternative to lightweight systems like SIP panels.

Walls - Our walls are crafted from kiln-dried, stress-graded 4x2 timber for maximum durability. To reinforce the structure, 11mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board) is fixed to the outside of the timber frame, transforming it into a robust structural wall. Unlike some competitors who attach cladding directly to the frame, we ensure this extra layer of strength for lasting quality and stability.

Roof - Built using 6x2 kiln-dried, stress-graded timber joists, our roofs are designed for strength and longevity. The roof is finished with 18mm tongue-and-groove OSB sheets, ready for our EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) membrane. EPDM is a premium, durable roofing material with a life expectancy of over 50 years. Between the joists, we install 100mm PIR insulation for exceptional thermal efficiency, ensuring year-round comfort in your garden room

​

This ensures a durable and well-insulated structure that performs as beautifully as it looks.

At Hideaway, we ensure your garden room is fully insulated on all sides using high-performance PIR (Polyisocyanurate) insulation. PIR offers a superior U-value compared to materials like RockWool, which many competitors still use. This means your garden room will stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer, offering year-round comfort and energy efficiency.

​

We install 100mm PIR insulation in the base, walls and roof for optimal thermal performance. Be cautious of other companies that may use thinner insulation or lower-quality materials. With Hideaway, you’re guaranteed premium insulation that enhances both comfort and energy savings.

Our standard windows and doors are crafted from toughened double-glazed units that meet BS6206 standards for safety and durability. You can choose between UPVC or aluminium frames in a variety of colours to complement your garden room’s design.

​

For those looking to make a statement, we also offer bi-folding and corner doors or windows as optional upgrades. As part of our standard package, we include doors up to 2 metres wide and 2.1 metres high, along with a window up to 1 metre wide and 1 metre high. If you're considering larger sizes, we’ll provide tailored pricing during your free, no-obligation quote.

Our certified electrician ensures your garden room is fully equipped and connected safely to your home. During our initial site visit, we’ll check your house’s consumer unit to ensure it can support the garden room. Our standard electrical package is designed to meet your essential needs, with the option to customise it to suit your requirements.

• 4 double sockets in white

• 4 internal downlighters in white

• 2 external up-and-down wall lights

• 1 dimmable light switch (controlling both internal and external lights)

• 1 x 1500W wall-mounted heater

• Consumer unit in the garden room and connection to your home (up to 10 metres). Any distance over 10 metres will incur an additional charge. If your home’s consumer unit cannot accommodate the garden room, we’ll provide options to resolve this.

​

All electrical work is fully certified and we provide an electrical safety certificate for your peace of mind.

At Hideaway, we offer an extensive range of high-quality cladding options to suit your style and budget. From the rich tones of Canadian Western Red Cedar to the sleek modern look of Midnight Black Slatted Composite, we’ve got a variety of choices to make your garden room truly unique. Our standard pricing includes the highly durable and sustainable Thermowood, known for its resistance to decay and exceptional longevity.

​

All cladding is securely fixed to a 19x38 counter batten, with a waterproof, breathable membrane installed on the 11mm OSB structural walls beneath. This system allows both the cladding and the structure to ventilate effectively, ensuring long-lasting durability and protection from moisture.
