About Our Outdoor Classrooms
Designed and built in the UK
Every element of our outdoor classrooms is designed and manufactured in-house at our own start-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in the UK.
Planning permission rarely required
Planning permission is rarely required as our buildings fall within permitted development rights. Our friendly team are on hand to help if planning is required though.
12-year guarantee
All of our outdoor classrooms come with a comprehensive 12-year guarantee, giving you that extra peace of mind in case you have any issues.
Engineered For Year-Round Use
All of our garden rooms are built with double-glazed windows & doors and premium-grade insulation, allowing the directional flow of air and moisture out of the building.

Fantastic Room in a little London garden!
We now have an amazing room at the bottom of our garden that fits in beautifully and feels as though it has been there for ever. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and the entire process was very straightforward.

Excellent choice of supplier for my Garden Studio! So pleased
Green Retreats deserve every single one of my star ratings! They have been very professional right from the start, from welcoming me to their warehouse to helping me make the right choice through to a fabulous installation. The finished studio is amazing, a top quality build and the installation teams were timely, polite and very hard-working.
Thanks to you all…what a fab company!!
by Alexa Garthwaite
Fantastic product and service to match
We had a 3.5m by 5m garden room installed last month and we are delighted with the result. We are using it as a home gym and love the extra space it has given us! The building also looks fantastic at the bottom of our garden. Green retreats have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. In summary I have been very impressed by both the product and the service provided by green retreats and highly recommend!
Outdoor Classrooms FAQs
Yes, you can. We will liaise with a plumber to ensure that any necessary openings are in place, ready for the plumber to connect the required services.
Yes, we can install partition walls in any of our larger sized garden rooms. Please enquire for more details.
Whilst our garden rooms are temporary structures and are moveable. It is worth considering that the costs to move a building is chargeable to you and can equate to an amount that does not make moving the building viable.
We don’t offer a completely soundproof solution for your garden room. We do, however, offer an acoustic pack which reduces the transfer of sound to approximately -45db – however, this is not ‘soundproof’.
Although we use industry-leading acoustically laminated glass, this is the least effective component of our acoustic pack. Please bear in mind that the more glass you opt for in your garden room, the lesser the effect the acoustic pack will have.
Planning permission is not normally required as our buildings fall under permitted development (built under 2.5m high externally).
Most houses, even in conservation areas and areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), have permitted development rights.
Flats and listed buildings have no permitted development rights, so will always need planning permission.
Don’t worry though, as planning is a relatively simple process for our garden rooms and we are on-hand to help with this process.
We offer a complete electrical connection from your house to the garden room at an additional cost, which will be confirmed at your design consultation. However, you are more than welcome to use your own preferred electrician for this.
Yes, all of our buildings come as standard with a free-standing oil-filled radiator. We also offer a variety of heating options including wall-mounted radiators, underfloor heating and air conditioning.
Our construction methods mean that we can build as close as 400mm to any solid boundary or obstacle.
We offer two solutions for internet connectivity.
The first is called ‘Home Plug’: Simply insert one of the plugs into a wall socket and connect the included patch cable into your home router, then insert the other plug into a wall socket in your garden room.
This method sends your internet signal through the power network of your home and replicates your home Wi-Fi in your building.
The second solution is to run a full armoured CAT 6 network cable from the router in your house to the garden building. This will usually follow the same route as your main power cable and we can quote for this at your free design consultation.
Our windows and doors are double-glazed to BS7412 specification and feature tough Pilkington K double-glazing which is both safe and thermally efficient. All windows and doors are fitted with high security (insurance grade) multi-point locks and bolts with a 5-lever locking system.
