Why Garden Rooms are Great as Outdoor Classrooms

When schools and nurseries need a little extra teaching space, it’s the portacabin that has been the traditional recourse. And it’s easy to see why. They’re a quick and simple substitute to bricks and mortar builds. And what they lack in aesthetic charm is more than made up for in convenience. Especially when there were no viable alternatives around. But these days, that’s not necessarily true. With a garden room, you may just find the perfect solution for your school.

Five Reasons Why Garden Rooms Are the Perfect Choice for Schools

Garden rooms deliver on both function and form

There are so many positives relating to garden rooms, but one of the things that sets them apart from ‘temporary’ structures, such as portacabins, is that they can be beautiful. And that matters in a school setting. Kids need to be inspired. And that carries over into the learning environment. When you extend your learning space with beautifully made structures with an abundance of windows letting in natural light, you create a learning environment that it’s a pleasure to be in.

Garden classrooms are cost-effective

When compared to traditional building projects, garden rooms can be extremely budget-friendly. This is partly due to the build process, which means that you’re paying far fewer people for far less time. But also because of the materials involved. The way that garden rooms are manufactured means that you can gain an environmentally friendly structure at an affordable price point.  

Garden rooms are customisable

One size simply doesn’t fit all with school equipment. Particularly not when you’re talking about classrooms. When you order a garden room for your school, you can customise it to suit your exact needs. From diminutive to colossal, you can create the perfect space. You can also add in a full array of features.

• Windows where you want them.
•  How ever many electrical sockets you need.
•  Lighting wherever you want it.
•  Double glazing and insulation to keep the perfect ambient temperature and reduce running costs.
•  A choice of decking, if required.
• Fully finished interiors.
• Room dividers, where required.
• Kitchen and toilet facilities available – even a shower room, should you need one.

Garden room installation is not disruptive

Because much of your garden classroom will be fabricated off site, installation is simple. The groundworks are rapid. As screw piles are deployed, the foundations are ready to use immediately. The frame can then be erected, and the panels fixed in place. The interiors will be finished next, and the external cladding added. The windows and doors are the last element to be installed. Depending upon the size of your structure and the number of rooms you require, the process should be complete within 5 to 10 days. No fuss. No mess. Just a beautiful new learning space ready to use.

You may not need planning permission

At Garden Room Sanctuary North North, we’ve worked hard to ensure that all of our structures fit within permitted build guidelines. Consequently, 99% of our garden rooms are suitable for installation without planning permission. However, this may vary, depending on your location and local planning rules. So, it’s always wise to check. But you shouldn’t face any difficulties.

Garden rooms are bright, warm, and welcoming. They provide an inspiring workplace tailored exactly to your needs. Allowing for the creation of bright, airy class rooms that keep your students in touch with the natural world, right through the year.
