At Total Garden Rooms, we are here to help you make the most out of your garden/property and create your dream social hub to enjoy with friends and family! This week we have enlisted the types of garden bars available and the unlimited benefits of having your very own garden bar.  

Types and Inspiration for Garden Room bars  

Whatever your budget or size of your garden, at Total Garden Rooms we will help you create your dream garden bar.  

Small Garden bar  

If you do not have the room to build a larger garden bar or would like it to have multiple uses, then a garden room is perfect for you. If you would like it as an extra chilling area, perhaps with a TV and a few bean bags or a garden office- this does not mean a bar can be in the mix. Adding a mini-fridge or a stylish bar cart, your garden room immediately has multi-uses and you can still have your own personalised space to enjoy a drink.  

Large Garden bar  

 If you have the budget and room to create a large garden bar, at Total Garden Rooms we can create you the ultimate drinking spot without the queues and expensive taxi journeys. By choosing one of our larger garden room configurations and a number of our extras, you can create a garden bar that all your neighbours will be jealous of. Turn your garden bar into the ultimate sports bar with the addition of a TV and audio system, or why not add a pool table or arcade games to have battles with your friends over a few beers. With our larger garden rooms, the possibilities are endless with Total Garden Rooms.  

Benefits of a Garden Room Bar

Keep it private and eliminate noise   

A garden bar is the ideal solution for a totally separate space to enjoy with family and friends, especially if you have a busy home. By building a garden bar, you create your own local bar right at the bottom of your very own garden. Escape to your perfect garden room bar, without the chaos and noise from inside your home. Give yourself a chance to take a break from the kids and enjoy a drink or entertainment with friends and family.  

No planning permission required   

One of the major reasons our customers decide on a garden room, rather than its extension equivalent is due to planning permission requirements. A garden bar will rarely ever require planning permission, especially if you are not planning on using it as an alternative bedroom. Extensions on the other hand, usually always require planning permission. Getting planning permission granted can be an extremely long and costly process, with many restrictions being in place. At Total Garden Rooms, our garden rooms only take up to 3 weeks to build versus, an equivalent extension taking up to 4 months to create. So, if you ask us, by building a garden room bar, you can be enjoying it with family and friends in no time.  

More cost effective than a home extension   

Building a garden room bar has many advantages but one of its most important attributes is how cost-effective it is versus its extension equivalent. An extension can cost up to £65,000 for a Total Home Garden room equivalent at £30,000. As well as the difference in price between the two, building an extension can be restrictive and impractical for a bar due to them being attached to the house. Similarly, to an extension, a garden bar can also increase the value of your home but is far more cost-effective due to its lower building costs and no-planning permission. So, as well as building your very own perfect local bar, also increase your home’s value with Total Garden Rooms today. 

Use your insulated garden bar all year-round  

All of our bespoke garden rooms are not only for summer use but for all year-round as they all are fully insulated as standard. With completely insulated walls, ceilings and floors, our garden room bars can be used either in the warm summer months or for a cozy mulled wine in the winter. All of our garden rooms come with a variety of optional extras, including radiators and under-floor heating. If you want to use your garden bar all year-round, we can insure with our fully insulated garden rooms, you can stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
