Garden houses
Garden houses – how to choose?
Garden houses are hot in summer and towards autumn and winter, with a wide range of functions and uses. Wooden garden houses of different sizes, shapes and looks can perfectly complement both your private home and your garden. If you have decided to build a bungalow but don’t know what relatively good and cheap garden sheds are, here are a few important rules. What are they? Read on to find out what garden houses are commonly used for, how to build them and which you prefer – a home-made or ready-made product!
Garden houses, bathhouses, holiday cottages – where you can relax from the daily routine and spend time with yourself and your fellow human beings. To make such a holiday worry-free, you need to build a high-quality and stable garden house.
Garden house projects – for whom?
Garden houses are relatively small houses that are mostly not used for everyday needs. These small buildings are used to:
- seating areas. Often, wooden garden houses are made for one purpose – to have a place where you can go and also spend the night, like a camping cabin. They can also be insulated, allowing you to stay in them during the cold winter months;
- buildings to store tools and equipment for the garden Not everyone has access to a garage where they can easily store their tools. For example, if your garden is relatively far from where you live, it is advisable to install a garden house where you can store all your gardening tools;
- baths. With the cold season approaching, a visit to a warm sauna is just in time. Based on the basics of a standard garden house, you can also buy a sauna. The price of such a garden house is likely to be slightly higher than for a conventional house;
- workshop. If you have a hobby that requires space, but you don’t have room for it at home, a second-hand garden home can be a great solution. Prefabricated garden houses will be the simplest option. But why?

What to remember when building a garden home?
Whether it’s a small house or a log summer house with more than one room, every model takes time and money to make. Although it is cheaper to make your own garden houses, people often choose to buy them ready-made from companies. What to remember to make it all work?
- Building Regulations requirements. Commissioning a garden home is an important process. For example, a garden house of up to 25 square metres has relatively simpler rules for its operation, as it falls into the category of small buildings. It is also important that the building cannot be located closer than 4 square metres from the boundary of the plot.
- Quality is important. Before you buy or build a garden house, check what’s on offer and find out which is the best value for money. The material used is important for the lifetime of the house, as is the guarantee that the company gives for the house.
- Evaluate before you buy. Even if you think you have your house planned out, make sure it’s the one that best suits your purpose and the resources you have available. Staying within budget is key to getting everything right.
Most of the garden huts available in Latvia are the same, so it is important to consider the products offered by foreign companies – our neighbours. For example, garden houses in Lithuania can be bought in a witch style, which means that tree branches and curves are also used.
It doesn’t matter whether your choice is a cheap wooden garden home that is relatively small or a large and luxurious garden home. What matters is the correct installation of the building and how much you enjoy living in it. Choose from ready-made houses or create your own, creating your own place to stay this season!
