Garden structures: Your questions answered

Thinking about adding a garden structure to your outdoor space? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our bespoke garden buildings.

Most garden structures fall under permitted development rights and don’t require planning permission. However, they must meet certain size and height restrictions. Nevertheless, if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the structure is particularly large, you may need permission. Therefore, we recommend checking the UK Government planning portal for specific guidance. We’re happy to advise on your specific situation and can guide you through the planning process if required.

Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of your structure. For example, a straightforward pergola or car port might take 1-2 weeks from start to finish. In contrast, a larger oak-framed gazebo or outdoor kitchen could take 3-4 weeks. Additionally, we’ll provide a clear timeline during the design consultation. Furthermore, we keep you informed throughout the build.
Most garden structures require concrete pad foundations or post footings to ensure stability and longevity. However, the exact foundation specification depends on several factors. These include the size and type of structure, soil conditions, and intended use. Importantly, we handle all groundworks and foundations as part of our service. Therefore, your structure is properly supported from the ground up.
We use several approaches to ensure longevity. Firstly, oak naturally weathers to a beautiful silver-grey and requires minimal maintenance. In contrast, pine structures are treated with quality preservatives. Additionally, we use proper joinery techniques to shed water effectively. Moreover, we can incorporate glass or polycarbonate roofing for fully weatherproof covered areas. Finally, all structures are designed with drainage and ventilation in mind.
Oak structures require very little maintenance. Indeed, they’ll naturally weather and can last decades. Conversely, treated pine benefits from re-treatment every few years to maintain protection. Meanwhile, any glass roofing or polycarbonate panels simply need occasional cleaning. Ultimately, we’ll advise on the specific maintenance requirements for your chosen materials during the design stage.
Absolutely. We work closely with you to ensure your garden structure complements your home’s architectural style. For instance, whether you have a traditional Hampshire cottage, a modern property, or a period home, we can design appropriate structures. Specifically, we use suitable materials, proportions and details that sit harmoniously within your space.
