Garden Office Flat Roof Construction

Flat roof garden offices.

Garden office flat roof construction.

Building regulations and planning permission garden buildings that are less than 2 5 meters high and not more than 15m2 in internal area can usually be erected without any building and planning permissions. The mini garden office has an attractive contemporary design featuring a flat roof. The recommended fall for a roof like this is 1 40. On all our garden rooms and garden offices apart from the cabin style models we fit flat ceilings there is no slope inside our slope is on the top of the roof.

All of our flat roof garden offices are available in a choice of sizes we sell garden buildings from 6ft wide up to 20ft wide and bigger. The finished building is 1 8m deep x 2 4m wide. This rule makes a 2 5 meter building a desirable choice particularly if your garden is small. Depending on the depth of your roof this is quite a taper and your 2 5m height goes to the highest point of the roof not the lowest.

This provides additional usable headroom inside the building and gives a more house like feel. Garden rooms higher than 2 5m have to be positioned at least 2 meters from each boundary. At under 10 cubic metres in volume and under 2 5m high this small garden office does not in most cases require planning permission. Another advantage with this construction method is that we can fit ceiling led downlights unlike some competitor.

The finished building is 1 8m deep x 2 4m wide. Read on so we can explain the important stages of building an office in your garden from a flat pack log cabin. If you are looking for information on how to build a garden office or garden room from scratch this post will detail my process from a clear piece of land at the bottom of my garden to a fully lined and insulated garden office with working electrics the room is actually going to be a garden studio for my daughter but the construction methods and end result are exactly the same if you are. Fall even though you are building what is considered a flat roof building you need to consider a fall for run off of water.
