Shed Life!


According to an article in the Guardian earlier this year, garden offices are cheap, chic, eco-friendly andgarden working above all, do away with the dreaded daily commute – so the trend for ‘shedworking’ is becoming increasingly commonplace. With more than 2.5 million businesses being run from home, the creation of a garden building represents the second most popular siting for a home office, although the spare room retain the no1 slot.  Aside from the practical advantages of a garden based home office, the decision to invest in an alfresco work space can also add value to your property – up to 5% according to some experts - and installing an office in the garden is certainly far cheaper than buying a house with an extra room!


Garden offices can be home built, designed by an architect or purchased from the myriad of suppliers competing in this growing market.  Latest models sport not only ultra chic and stylish designs, but also boast added green credentials such as power generation through solar panels in the roof and solar light generation.
