A good quality garden room is a serious investment: a lasting addition to your home or business which needs to stand up to the elements and retain its good looks. At Garden Hideouts we have adopted the building techniques used in some of the world’s most testing climates to create structures that have unrivalled durability.

Garden Pod Walls

1. The framework cavity is insulted with a highly efficient layer of ecologically sound 100mm flexible mineral wool. The semi-rigid shape of insulation allows it to be measured and cut accurately filling the void more completely, thereby providing excellent all year round thermal and acoustic performance. 
2.  The rigidity of the framework is compounded be the use of a tried and trusted tusk tenon and wedge jointing system, this jointing method creates a uniquely strong and versatile joint performance.
3. The interior of our pod is lined with select grade Scandinavian redwood tongue and groove cladding. The primed and beautifully finished horizontal cladding not only adds a feeling of depth and substance to the interior but also compounds the building's overall structural rigidity.
4. The framework is constructed from a dual layer of bounded 18mm 'Gade A' structural plywood which has been sustainably sourced directly from Finland. Professionally cut from a unique CAD design by commercial CNC machinery, the precision framework design delivers a rigid and long-lasting minicoque structure.
5. Providing protection against condensation, water and air infiltration a high-performance breathable vapour membrane sits between the outer cladding and the building's framework protecting the integrity of the structure.
6. The slowgroen Weston Red Ceddar exterior cladding used on our buildings is not only atheistically pleasing, but it is exceptionally durable, stable and of course, ethically sourced. Our Western Red Ceddar cladding can be either hand-oiled to pleserve its rich colour or ulternatively left untreated turning a muted silver-grey over the seasons.

 

Garden Pod Floors

1. The base framework cavity is insulated with premium performance 100mm foil-faced rigid insulation. The high compressive strength and water resistance of the insulation making it ideal for the floor void, providing excellent all year round thermal performance.
2. The rigidity of the floor framework is compounded by the use of a tried and trusted tusk tenon and wedge jointing system, this jointing method creates a uniquely strong and versatile joint.
3. Constructed from a dual layer of bounded 18mm 'Grade A' structural plywood which has been sustainably sourced directly from Finland. Professionally cut from a unique CAD design by commercial CNC machinery, the precision framework design delivers a rigid and long-lasting permanent base framework.
4. Our subfloor is constructed from exterior grade hardwood ply bonded with water-resistant adhesives to create a strong, flat and rigid base layer.
