Garden Lodge with Log Burner

There\’s something special about a garden lodge with wood burning stove. Not only are they an excellent way to provide heat, but they also look attractive and provide a real focus to a room. It creates a special kind of ambience, making a cosy space to enjoy when the weather outside is chilly.

For these reasons, many people wonder if they can put a wood burner in their garden room. After all, what could be better than getting toasty by a crackling log burner in your garden lodge on a winter\’s day?

Can you put a wood burner in a garden lodge?

A wood burning stove can be installed in a garden lodge but there are a few factors that you need to consider.

• Roofing – the type of roof you have on your garden room will dictate the height that the chimney will have to rise above the roof. If the roof is potentially flammable, the height of the chimney will be greater than if the roof is fireproof.

• Stove size – contemporary garden rooms are so well insulated that you\’ll only need a small stove to heat the room. Make it too large and the heat might be so unbearable that you never use the stove or will be forced to open the doors on a winter\’s day to cool off. Typically, a wood burner in garden room needs to have an output no larger than 5kw. Most stove manufacturers make stoves small enough, with some specialising in burners for narrow boats and garden structures.

Do you need planning permission for a log burner?

A frequently asked question is does a garden lodge with wood burner require planning permission?

As a general rule, you won\’t need planning permission, but there are a number of points that you will need to consider:

• You can add a stove to your house without planning permission, but not necessarily to a garden or ancillary building. If you live in a conservation area, or your main property is listed, it\’s likely you will need planning permission for a garden room with log burner.

• If you live in a smoke-free area you will need to ensure that your burner complies with the regulations. There are a number of \’clean burn\’ stoves available which would be ideal.

• You should also consider carefully how smoke from the flue will affect your neighbours. Wood smoke can be harmful to health, so it would not be unreasonable for neighbours to object if smoke from a garden lodge with log burner was blowing continually across their property.

• A wood-burning stove installed in your garden room must satisfy all the necessary building regulations.

• You must install a carbon monoxide alarm in a garden lodge, garden room or summer house with log burner fitted.

Installation considerations for wood burners

A wood burner can be installed in just about any of our garden rooms as long as local regulations are followed. In some areas the type of wood burner that is permitted to be used is specified, so be sure to check on the local regulations. If you are planning to add a stove to your garden room, please let us know and we will make all the necessary arrangements.

What are the advantages of having a wood burner in a garden lodge?

A wood burning stove in your garden room isn\’t just an attractive extra, it has many other benefits as well:

• Excellent heat output – if it\’s a freezing cold day and you want your garden room to heat up quickly and effectively, nothing quite beats a wood burning stove. Even with the small-sized stoves that are required for garden rooms, the stove will rapidly heat up your space, even when the temperatures outside are below zero. Perfect for a starlit winter\’s evening!

• Stylish and decorative – whether you opt for a vintage or contemporary stove, they all have great designs that can really enhance your space. They can help make a garden room feel homely and cosy, even when they\’re not in use.

• Energy-efficient – wood burning stoves when used in a relatively small space are incredibly energy efficient. It doesn\’t take long to heat up the room, and you won\’t need much fuel. Local suppliers are happy to deliver bulk orders of logs that should last you all winter

• Environmentally friendly – when using wood sourced from sustainable sources, wood-burning stoves are an eco-friendly option. Also, burning offcuts and any waste wood you generate means that they don\’t end up in the landfill.

Bottomline

There\’s no doubt that a garden room with log burner crackling helps create a wonderfully cosy atmosphere for you to enjoy. The visual impact of flames dancing in your stove along with the heat generated will make the ambience in your garden room incredibly homely.
