GARDEN GYMS by:
Garden2Office is a long-established company that uses a Swedish insulated timber frame system to construct its four distinct ranges. The Friggebod, SportsKabin, and Kapsel ranges all feature mono-pitched rooflines under 2.5m high, making them suitable for Permitted Development projects. The Malmö range, on the other hand, boasts a dual-pitched roofline with standing seam metal roofing, encapsulating Scandinavian style.
Garden2Office’s designs are perfectly suited for home gym buildings. Crafted as multi-layer structures, they ensure comfort throughout every season. For those who want to maintain an optimal workout environment, air conditioning can be seamlessly integrated. Furthermore, doors and windows can be positioned to your preference, allowing you to capture the perfect view during your exercise routines. Garden2Office offers a diverse range of window styles, including ones that open, ensuring easy ventilation for your gym area.
The Malmö range is a favoured option for home gyms. Its dual-pitched roofline provides a greater ceiling height compared to mono-pitched designs. The interior’s vaulted ceiling not only accommodates taller gym equipment with ease but also ensures ample headroom for activities on treadmills, cross trainers, and the like.
When collaborating with Garden2Office, you begin by selecting a range. The team then assists in customising the size, configuring doors and windows, and selecting interior and exterior finishes that align with your style.
Garden2Office are able to add partition walls to divide the floorplan of their buildings into multiple rooms. Many customers choose to add a second room for use as a storage area, which can have its own external access. You could also enhance the usability of your gym space by adding a cloakroom or shower room. Alongside offering cloakrooms that are connected to the mains services, Garden2Office also offer modern waterless toilets which are a cost-effective way of adding a toilet to a garden gym.
Garden2Office’s Swedish building system is made up of several layers. An insulated timber framework is faced on each side with plywood, making a strong panel. Once the exterior and interior finishes are added, the walls are a thick multi-layer structure that creates a comfortable room to spend time in all year round.
From the accompanying images, it’s clear that Garden2Office designs exude a modern aesthetic, a testament to their Scandinavian heritage. Personalising your structure is easy, with a wide range of exterior finishes chosen for both visual appeal and durability.

Examples of Garden2Office exterior finishes
Browsing the photos, you will see that Garden2Office provides a diverse palette of exterior cladding options. Each style not only lends a distinctive look but also promises long-term durability.
Garden2Office’s Larch and Cedar claddings are popular due to their modern aesthetics and long, low-maintenance lifespan. These woods gradually turn silvery grey as they weather, but this doesn’t diminish the board’s durability. If retaining the wood’s natural colour is your preference, Garden2Office can coat it with UV-protective oil during installation.
For those seeking an exterior with added depth and character, the rebated weatherboard cladding from Garden2Office is a great fit. You can choose the colour it is finished in. Opting for black is a popular option, as it looks especially good paired with matching black doors and windows.
Composite claddings from Garden2Office are perfect for those who are looking for a maintenance-free choice. Unlike timber, which alters in colour over time, composite retains its new appearance, eliminating the need for repaints. Garden2Office offer several board profiles and a variety of colours.
Corrugated metal cladding, finished in a sophisticated dark grey, enhances the contemporary feel of Garden2Office’s buildings. As you will see in the gallery above, some customers choose to use this low-maintenance option on hidden walls, paired with timber claddings on the prominent walls.
Garden2Office’s flat roof designs feature an EPDM roof covering. This is a high-spec rubber membrane which is fitted in one piece so there are no joints that could leak. With their pitched roof Malmö range, the roof is finished in a Swedish metal roofing system with standing seam detail. This finish enhances the Scandinavian aesthetic of Garden2Office’s buildings. Garden2Office also offer other tiled finishes for the Malmö, if you are looking for a more traditional look.

Not every company offers the option of large picture windows or bi-fold windows which can open up a large section of the wall – a fantastic feature.
Many people, as you’ll see in the examples above, choose to integrate skylights into their Garden2Office gym. These roof windows guarantee a naturally light room.
With their pitched roof Malmö range, the interior has a vaulted ceiling. This design feature offers a much airier ambience than rooms with conventional flat ceilings, ideal for a home gym. The pitched roofline presents the chance to introduce a mezzanine level, perfect as a sleeping deck or storage area. Garden2Office can include balustrading for safety and a ladder for convenient access.
Garden2Office collaborates with every customer to design the perfect electrical specification for their project. Besides installing LED lighting, they can add feature lighting such as a pendant, working with you to decide the ideal location in the room. Plenty of power sockets are integrated into a garden gym, and data cabling can be installed to ensure a reliable internet connection between your home router and the gym.
