Backyard Cabins designs, builds and installs fully insulated garden rooms and garden offices for homeowners throughout Reading and the surrounding area.
Whether you need a quiet office, home gym, creative studio, entertainment room or additional family space, we can create a comfortable, fully finished room for year-round use.

We are based nearby in Wokingham and regularly work across Reading, Earley, Lower Earley, Woodley, Caversham, Tilehurst and the surrounding communities.
Garden Rooms Designed for Reading Homes
Every garden presents different opportunities. The right garden room should provide the space you need while looking as though it belongs with your home and garden.
Reading includes everything from compact town gardens and properties with restricted access to larger suburban plots with room for substantial, multi-purpose cabins.
We consider the available space, access, natural light, neighbouring properties, privacy and intended use before recommending a design.
Because our cabins are constructed on site, restricted access does not necessarily prevent you from having a garden room. Materials can often be carried through the house when there is no suitable side entrance, and we do not normally require a crane to position a completed building.
Your garden room can also be designed with the future in mind. An office used for working from home today could later become a studio, gym, hobby room or family space.
Our Garden Room Range and Prices
Our established garden room models provide clear starting points for different gardens, budgets and uses.
The NEO is a compact 3m × 3m garden room priced at £18,540 including VAT. It is an excellent choice for a home office, small studio or quiet personal workspace.
The FORZA measures 4m × 3m and is priced at £22,740 including VAT. Its additional space works well for larger offices, treatment rooms, studios and home gyms.
The LUNA measures 5m × 4m and is priced at £27,540 including VAT. It provides generous space for shared offices, family rooms, creative studios and rooms with more than one purpose.
The META measures 6m × 4m and is priced at £33,420 including VAT. It is our largest established model and is suited to substantial offices, gyms, studios and premium multi-purpose spaces.
These prices include a professionally installed and fully finished garden room. Foundations, the final electrical connection from your property and individually requested upgrades are assessed separately because they depend on the site and specification.
Our models are starting points rather than fixed restrictions. If your garden needs different dimensions or another layout, we can create a made-to-measure design.
Designed, Built, and Installed with Care
Every Backyard Cabin is designed in-house and professionally installed by our experienced team.
We use fully insulated structural insulated panels, commonly known as SIPs, throughout the walls, floor and roof. This creates a strong, energy-efficient garden room designed for comfortable use during every season.
Aluminium double glazing, durable EPDM roofing and premium Thermowood or European larch cladding provide long-term performance and a clean, contemporary finish.
Inside, every standard cabin includes luxury vinyl flooring, a plastered and white-painted interior, skirting boards, lighting, electrical sockets, a dedicated consumer unit and a WiFi-controlled electric radiator.
Most straightforward garden rooms can be fully installed and finished in two weeks or less. This can include ground screw foundations where required, construction, glazing, plastering, painting, flooring and internal finishing.
Every Backyard Cabin is also protected by a ten-year structural warranty.
Standard and Bespoke Garden Rooms
Our standard models provide proven proportions, transparent pricing and a straightforward place to begin. However, you are not restricted to their exact dimensions or layouts.
Many of the cabins we build are adapted or completely bespoke. Because each building is made for its customer, changing the proportions of a cabin does not automatically create a large bespoke design charge.
We can:
Adjust the width or depth of the building
Create a long, narrow or angled cabin
Reposition doors and windows
Add bi-fold, sliding or French doors
Introduce additional windows or privacy glazing
Create internal rooms and partitions
Incorporate secure integrated storage
Design separate office and relaxation areas
Add air conditioning and specialist electrical layouts
Include larger decking areas, steps or covered entrances
Work around established planting and unusual boundaries
Plan a cabin for restricted or awkward access
You do not need to arrive with a finished design. Tell us how you would like to use the room, what size you have available and which features matter to you. We can help turn those ideas into a practical cabin.
Real Garden Rooms Built in Reading and Nearby
We have completed garden rooms in Reading and neighbouring Berkshire communities.
These projects provide genuine examples of how different dimensions, glazing arrangements and internal layouts can be used to create comfortable rooms for working, exercising and everyday life.
FORZA Garden Office in Lower Earley
Our Lower Earley FORZA project was designed as a bright, practical garden office within a 4m × 3m footprint.
A wide aluminium bi-fold door fills the workspace with natural light, while a high-level window provides additional daylight without sacrificing privacy from neighbouring properties.
The fully insulated construction and finished interior created a dedicated workspace that can be used comfortably throughout the year.
This project is particularly relevant for homeowners in Reading because it demonstrates how a carefully positioned garden office can provide generous working space without overwhelming a residential garden.
Bespoke Multi-Use Garden Room in Twyford
This substantial 28m² garden room in nearby Twyford was designed for working, exercising and family use.
The bespoke 4.8m × 6m layout included fully insulated SIPs construction, aluminium glazing, a high-level privacy window, premium external cladding and a completely finished interior.
Despite its size and custom specification, the cabin was installed in 13 working days.
The project demonstrates how one thoughtfully designed garden room can accommodate several different uses without needing to compromise on comfort or appearance.
Garden Office for Daily Use in Wokingham
We revisited one of our bespoke Wokingham garden offices after two years of continuous use.
Originally created for two people working from home, the cabin remains their primary daily workspace. Its insulated SIPs construction, aluminium glazing, EPDM roof and durable external cladding were selected for long-term performance as well as appearance.
This project shows the difference between a building that simply looks impressive when it is installed and a garden office designed to remain comfortable, dependable and enjoyable to use for years.
