FAQs
Answers to some of the most common questions about outdoor living spaces and installations.
What is the difference between a pergola and a verandah?
A pergola is typically a freestanding garden structure designed for shade and outdoor seating, while a verandah is usually attached to the home and provides more permanent weather protection.
Do I need planning permission for a pergola or decking?
In many cases, pergolas and decking can be installed without planning permission, although restrictions may apply depending on size, height, and property location.
How long does decking installation take?
Installation times vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, but many decking installations can be completed within a few days.
What is the difference between a summer house and a garden room?
A summer house is typically a lighter-use garden building designed for seasonal enjoyment, while a garden room is usually fully insulated and intended for year-round use.
