How We Build Your Luxury Garden House

Whether you choose from our standard range or opt for a bespoke design, all Chiltern Garden Buildings are manufactured to the same high standards.

​The buildings require a solid foundation such as a concrete base 100mm (4 inches) in depth, decking, or stone patio. A base construction service is available.

Scandinavian RedWood

Each Chiltern Garden Building is handcrafted using carefully selected and seasoned redwood from the superbly managed forests of northern Scandinavia.

This highly durable timber is perfect for the construction of our wooden garden buildings and, when treated, will give many years of useful life.


Canadian Western Red Cedar

Canadian western red cedar wood is offered as an alternative to the Scandinavian redwood in the construction of our garden buildings.

This beautiful highly durable timber with its natural preservative elements is low maintenance and will last for decades.

Western Red Cedar is sourced from the environmentally managed forests of Canada.
