“First, I just wanted to say thanks for the great job that you and your team did on our gazebo. Really, it looks amazing, and I can tell it’s had a lot of attention paid to it.

Second, thanks for keeping the garden tidy, hardly a blade of straw anywhere!

Third, thanks for turning up on time and for generally being a decent, friendly bloke.

The Garden Building Experts

We launched our range of luxury thatched circular gazebos in the spring of 2004, selling to customers nationwide and beyond. Individually handcrafted in our Oxfordshire workshops every Chiltern Garden Building is hand-made using the finest graded Redwood or Western Red Cedar.​

Using only the best quality materials each building is finished to the highest standard and can comfortably accommodate 4 – 16 people. We offer a bespoke gazebo design service that allows you to have a structure tailor-made to your exact requirements.

Our buildings make a great addition to any garden, creating the perfect setting to relax and entertain family and friends. Chiltern Garden Buildings also offer a complete nationwide refurbishment service, specialising in re-thatching and cedar roofing for garden buildings.
