Advantages of a timber framed garden office

Here at Decorated Shed we individually design your garden office to maximise your enjoyment and satisfaction you gain from your garden. Our values and standards which we hold dear can be seen throughout the construction and completion of all our premium garden buildings, which integrate timber frame in all of the contemporary designs. The advantages which come from building using the timber framed method, not only benefits you with the length of time it takes to build, but also the environment as timber framing helps towards the ‘carbon sequestration’ process.

Constructing a garden office using the timber frame method, means that the structure can be made off-site and transported ready made just needing to be pieced together. Not only does this reduce the time needed to build but also makes the construction process run smoothly as the major components are already together and transported to the site. Our timber framed garden buildings have a 50 year design life as the tightly joined building combined with the strength of the aluminum glazed expansive windows offer a strong and sturdy garden building. The designs of our garden offices are not sacrificed by using timber frame, but rather the method compliments the simple and elegant style instead.

The manner in which all Decorated Shed buildings are made off site in preparation for the overall construction of the building means that we can be accurate and precise when making them. Not only does it ensure exactness, but the speed of the build means that you can concentrate on other aspects of your daily routine while your garden office is built. One of the other main advantages of a timber framed building is also that because of the dry construction method used, there is less maintenance work needed over long periods of time.

Timber frame is also a more environmentally friendly option for your garden office, as it uses a maintainable resource for the majority of the building. The timber and other materials used insulate your building well and help to reduce the cost of heating. We care for the environment, which is why our garden buildings can not only have renewable energy installed but also have the option of building using recycled resources. We incorporate the environment into our design, without sacrificing the overall style and finish of your garden office. Our experienced team with over 70 years combined knowledge of the construction industry are perfectly suited to build you a beautifully crafted, stylish and contemporary timber framed garden office.
