Pinegard questions and answers

Options include glass, manual or motorised blinds, and solid coverings such as metal sheeting and PVC membrane. Glass lets light through, a solid covering limits overhead light, and a blind lets you adjust the shade. Rain protection depends on the particular system, roof pitch and drainage.

The price comprises the structure, roof, side screens and equipment. When comparing options, check whether the quotation includes:

• glazing and motorised blinds;
• lighting and radiant heaters;
• transport and installation;
• foundation preparation and any work on an existing terrace.

Prices are comparable only when the scope is the same.

We use glued laminated timber for load-bearing terrace roof components. It is made from bonded timber layers, helping produce stable beams in the required sections. Timber remains a natural material: lamination does not eliminate all dimensional movement or small cracks.

A Pinegard garden room can have a solid roof, timber or glazed walls and separate rooms. Alongside dining and seating areas, it can accommodate a kitchen, bar, toilet, shower or storage. An open gazebo provides a sheltered outdoor space without the same degree of enclosed accommodation.

Glazing alone does not ensure winter comfort. A regularly heated room needs suitable walls, roof, floor, windows, doors and ventilation. A wind-sheltering enclosure extends the season, but its specification differs from a room designed for regular use at low temperatures.

A kitchen can include a worktop, sink, storage and space for appliances, including an electric grill. A sink needs a water supply and drainage; appliances need an appropriate electrical supply.

The worktop, bar and dining table should be planned together as part of your garden room layout.

Lockable stores for tools, bicycles and garden equipment, log stores and larger utility buildings. We adapt dimensions, doors, windows and finishes to the site. Options range from narrow storage beside a house to a larger shed accommodating a ride-on mower.

For a wide mower, ride-on mower, wheelbarrow or large seasonal furniture. The clear width with the doors fully open matters more than the leaf dimensions alone. You also need manoeuvring space outside and a threshold that equipment can cross.

Its size, structural and facade materials, roof covering, number of doors and windows, and equipment. Flooring, services, shelving or a connection to a carport changes the scope. Access for delivering and assembling components in the chosen garden location also matters.

The basic equipment comprises:

• a heater and controls;
• benches sized for the number of users;
• lighting suitable for cabin conditions.

Headrests, a thermo-hygrometer, sand timer, bucket and ladle can be added. Bench planning should also consider whether you want to sit or lie down comfortably.

By the cabin volume, glazed area, insulation and appliance manufacturer's requirements. Large glass surfaces lose more heat than insulated walls. Electric and wood-burning heaters have different requirements for electrical supply or flue provision.

The quotation covers both the building and cabin equipment:

• dimensions, rooms and glazing;
• timber and finishes;
• heater, controls, benches and lighting;
• shower, hot tub and required services.

The price of the shell alone is not the price of a complete spa area. Compare equipment and connection scope separately.

Timber framing or HBE laminated timber elements. The facade can be finished with boards or, in a suitable system, render. The layout, glazing and services depend on whether the building is intended for seasonal or year-round training.

The designer needs equipment weights, user weights and the loads used during training. Equipment support points and impacts from setting weights down also matter.

An exercise bike loads the floor differently from a barbell set down dynamically. A mat can protect the finish and soften some impacts, but does not increase the floor's load-bearing capacity.

Size, structural system, facade, glazing and interior finish. A year-round building has different building elements and services from a seasonal shelter. A floor for heavy equipment, heating, ventilation and installation access also affect the cost.

It does not provide a watertight cover: water passes through the gaps. Protecting furniture and the dining area requires a suitable covering. Pinegard offers options including glass, blinds and solid roofs; protection depends on the selected system.

Yes, Pinegard offers motorised or manually operated screens. Tracks, fixings and motors need space in the structure, and motorisation requires power. The manufacturer of the specific system defines permitted operation in wind and rain.

Yes. Pinegard offers both. Lighting can define dining areas and access routes, while radiant heaters warm the seating zone. Cables, mounting points and power-supply access are prepared along with the structure.
