DIY Garden Room Kits

We provide a comprehensive installation guide with every room.

You will need to consider the type of base that your self-build garden room kit will be constructed on. Typically, we would expect you to need one of three types of foundation: pad, ground screws existing/new concrete base. You can use adjustable feet to level off the base.

The kit you have ordered will include the elements that are applicable to that kit and the SIP panels will be cut to size, ready for installation. Kits are delivered to the kerbside at the property.

Most rooms will not require planning permission and will fall under Permitted Development rights. However, if you are unsure, please seek guidance from your Local Planning Authority.

Annexe Kits

Our SIPs garden annexe kits are built using our pre-manufactured SIPs system; an innovative method of construction that delivers cost-effective, time-efficient and sustainable builds.

They’re ideal for homeowners who have sites where access is difficult, as the size and weight of panels having been carefully designed to make manual handling and assembly easy, even in areas where access is limited.

Utilising our pre-manufactured SIPs system, we supply structural and insulated flat pack annexe kits for a main contractor to install on site.
