When buying a garden office, you are probably looking for a building that you can comfortably use every day of the year. You don’t want a room that is too cold to use in the depths of winter, or too hot in the height of summer.
To ensure that you can use your new office comfortably we urge you to buy a building that is highly insulated in the floor, walls and roof of the building. This insulation needs to be coupled with double glazing in the doors and windows.
When buying a building specifically designed for year round use as a garden office from one of the suppliers we feature on this site you can be assured that it will be highly insulated, and suitable for year round use.
Although marketed as garden offices, we don’t believe log cabins make good offices
You will often see log cabin buildings marketed as garden offices, and we can see with prices from £2,500 they can be an attractive option. The thing is, although timber is a good insulator, log cabins are not suitable for year-round use. You’ll be cold in winter and roasting in the summer!
This tweet would bear out our argument:

Although a tongue in cheek tweet, this is how it would be on a hot day in a log cabin style garden office. To avoid this spend a bit more and go for a purpose designed, insulated garden office building. Start by checking out these suppliers.
