A wooden clad, affordable, attractive addition to your property. Built in a durable material, this delightful structure is a simple way of creating additional space to your home, without the upheaval of major building works.
At Horto all our garden rooms are designed to fuse together a carefully selected blend of modern composite components and natural sustainable timbers to create a fully insulated all year round usable space.
Your Horto garden room has been meticulously designed by our structural engineer. Once complete, the building will withstand stresses and pressures imposed through environmental conditions and human use. This ensures your new outdoor space will not deflect, rotate, vibrate excessively or collapse, and that it remains stable and secure throughout its use.
Foundation
Our most common foundation for your Horto garden room, is a concrete mini pile with customised steel anchors – engineer designed to not only support the imposed weight, but to also ensure lateral restraint. However, there are occasions when ground conditions will not permit this system to be used and in its place we would use a concrete raft foundation with, also engineer designed.
Floor & Walls
Traditionally constructed and fully insulated rigid structural wall & floor design. All our buildings are externally clad in high grade Thermowood or Western Red Cedar, a durable soft wood with a natural resistance to rot, fungal and insect damage. No maintenance is required to the Cedar unless you want to retain the rich variable colours. Untreated, cedar cladding typically lasts between 30 – 50 years.
