There are number of advantages of building a garden gym, which we will begin by listing. Although there are number of reasons why installing a garden gym has its advantages, there are a few things to consider before purchasing one. Here, at Total Garden Rooms we are always here to provide help and the expertise to allow you to create your dream garden room.

Our top reasons why building a garden gym is a good idea.

• The opportunity to work out in private. Having your very own garden gym allows you to work out in your own convenience and without the worry of others.
• It is a worthy investment. Once the initial payment has been made, there is an elimination of expensive gym fees.
• The ability to create any type of workout space you would like. Whether it is a weights area, a yoga studio or set of cardio machines. With Total Garden Rooms, the options are endless.

Here are a few things to consider before building your garden room-

The Size of a Garden Gym

Most garden gyms benefit from a 5 x 4 m area since it gives room for a variety of equipment as well as areas for stretching and warming up. If you’re willing to use only a spin bike and weights, you can reduce this down to 3m x 3m.

Another crucial factor to think about when designing your garden gym is the height of the building. If the building is less than two metres from your primary residence, you are permitted to develop it to a height of 2.5 metres without getting planning approval.

At Total Garden Rooms the maximum height in which you can design and build your garden room depends on the proposed space you are looking for your garden room to be built on. To give you an example, if the proposed garden room is within 2m from the property boundary, the maximum height will be 2.5m. If you are lucky enough to have more than a 2m space until your property boundary, the garden room can be extended up to 3m. So, the more space you have, the taller your garden room can be.

Heating and Cooling

All of our garden rooms are fully insulate, including double glazed windows and doors in addition to industry-leading residential grade insulation. Our bi-fold doors especially, let you open up the full side of your garden gym to pleasant breezes, keeping you cool in the summer. Additionally, as all of our garden gym are completely bespoke, you can add more windows and doors will improve ventilation. Any additional extras you desire can also be added to your garden gym, to allow for electrics which can be used to heat your garden room in the winter and cooling technology in the winter.

Flooring

One of the best things about our garden rooms is how versatile they are. You could desire a gym right now, but in the future you might want to use your garden gym building as an office, yoga studio or even a kids’ den. In light of this, it’s crucial to safeguard the flooring for potential future use. We are able to fit your garden gym with gym flooring or with a vinyl flooring, if you want your garden office to be multi-functional. We also can fit your garden gym with sound-proofing walls, which means your garden gym will remain as private as possible.

You might need a varied base depending on the equipment you’ll be utilising, from heavy weights and high-impact dance to a yoga studio or a straightforward cardio set up- we have found that gym flooring is the best option. Contact us today and we can provide you with a brochure, which will enlist all of our flooring options. We will work with you to provide the ideal solution to prevent problems.

Space is often limited in garden room projects, and garden gyms are no exception. Have you ever visited a gym that was jam-packed to the ceiling with exercise equipment but had little room to move around? With ideas and tricks we’ve picked up over the years, our garden room designers can help you create a home gym floor plan that makes the most of your available space. With the appropriate design, you can fit an astounding amount of equipment in a little area. At our Total Garden Room show village, we have our Strangford garden room, which we have designed as a garden room gym. Come and visit our show village at 2 Advantage Way, Belfast, BT13 3LZ and take some inspiration from us! With the endless gym multi-use equipment option these days, you really can have your very own dream garden gym.

Visual and Audio Equipment

We can fit any sound or visual systems into your home garden gym. These can be integrated into the walls or ceilings, meaning no sound system will ever take up any further space within your garden gym. Enjoy a high energy workout with music, and never disturb the neighbours with sound-proofing walling.
