Frequently Asked Questions

The FAQs section is designed to provide you with quick and clear answers to common questions about Radnor Oak's garden buildings summerhouses.

Is planning permission required for an oak framed garden office or summerhouse in the UK?

The need for planning permission for an oak framed garden office or summerhouse depends on several factors, primarily the size, height, and location of the proposed building. Generally, most garden buildings fall under Permitted Development rights if they meet criteria such as being single-storey, not exceeding 2.5m in height within 2m of a boundary, and not being used as self-contained living accommodation.

However, if you intend to use the building as a permanent guest accommodation or if it exceeds these limits, a formal planning application will be necessary. We advise all clients to check with their local planning authority to confirm the specific requirements for their site. Our team are on hand to offer advice on your local guidelines.

How is the oak framed garden building delivered and what does the assembly process involve?

Your oak framed garden building is delivered as an expertly crafted pre-jointed oak kit. This means the frame components have been meticulously cut, jointed, and numbered in our Mid-Wales workshop using traditional jointing methods before they arrive on site.

This preparation ensures that the assembly process is highly efficient and budget-friendly for your chosen builder or contractor. The frame is simply slotted together and secured with traditional oak pegs, allowing for a quick and precise erection that minimises disruption to your property.

How can an oak garden office improve productivity and well-being for remote working?

An oak garden office brings a level of calm, separation and everyday enjoyment that’s hard to achieve inside the home. By stepping into a dedicated space surrounded by natural oak, you can draw a line between work and home life - a simple shift that does wonders for productivity and overall well-being.

The warmth of the oak frame, and the natural light from added windows creates a beautiful place to focus and create. Many of our clients describe it as a sanctuary: close enough to home to be convenient, yet separate enough to support a genuinely healthier work-life balance.

Are Radnor Oak garden rooms suitable for year-round use, and how are they insulated?

Yes, our oak garden rooms are expertly designed and constructed for comfortable year-round use. To ensure optimal thermal performance and energy efficiency, our buildings feature a concealed weatherproofing system and are built to accommodate modern insulation standards.

The walls, floor, and roof are designed to be fully insulated, creating a warm and cosy environment in winter and a cool, comfortable space in summer. Top tip: consider French Doors for maximum ventilation during the warmer months. 

What customisation options are available for an oak framed garden studio or summerhouse?

Our oak framed garden studios and summerhouses are fully customisable to suit your individual passions and lifestyle.

Beyond the standard pre-designed kits, you can tailor almost every aspect of the building. This includes customising the size and internal layout, selecting from various roof finishes (e.g., slate, cedar shingles), and designing the placement and style of windows and doors to maximise natural light. Whether you require a specific configuration for a home gym, an art room, or a holiday let, our expert team are available to guide you through the options that will suit your style.

Can an oak framed garden building be used to generate income, such as a holiday let or guest rental?

Absolutely. One of the growing trends we see is the use of our self-contained oak garden buildings as a means to generate income. Their high-quality, luxury countryside aesthetic and durable construction make them an ideal choice for a holiday let, such as an AirBnB or glamping cabin, offering a high-end alternative to traditional accommodation.

The long-term appeal and minimal maintenance of the oak frame ensure a strong return on investment. Furthermore, they serve as excellent, private guest accommodation, adding significant value and versatility to your property.
