The Evergreen Workshop    Builders and Restorers of Timber Garden Buildings Specialists in Greenhouse Repair and Restoration.

We also make summerhouses and playhouses and many of these can also be used as garden offices, freeing up space in the home.

 

 

The variety of structures requested is simply staggering and in each case we aim to design and build the perfect structure. Always the consultation and design element is without obligation and we are always happy to come out and view the site.

 

 

We can create all manner of designs and styles and produce drawings showing options that can be incorporated.

 

We create drawing where possible but are equally happy to follow any designs and drawing you have.

 

Just a few of the buildings we have created.

Perhaps the smallest building we have made. It was created as a playhouse for two children and is uniquely octagonal. The doors and windows are scled down and fitted with iron hinges and handles. The roof is coated to give the apperance of lead but actually is completely non toxic.

The most unique feature is that although the door is only 900mm high the panel that it is fitted into is also hinged to allow parents inside.

This summerhouse actually started life as an old shed that was left behind after a house move. The clients who were having substantial renovation work undertaken on the house were not keen to look out to the South Downs and see an old brown shed so asked us to convert it.

The work involved dividing the building up so give a small tool storage area on the right then extensively modifying the building to create a seating area. The roof was shingled in asphalt shingles to mimic the slates on the main house. The building is fully lined and insulated.

As part of the work we removed an old greenhouse and then constructed the deck area and also the pond and waterfall which is powred by a solar pump. 

The client was looking for a summerhouse style building that could potentially be used as a garden office but was primarily a recreation space.

The criteria was very clear it had to fit in a space under a cherry and damson tree slightly off to the side of the main garden area. It had to light and airy but pick up on cues from the main house. 

Being close to the boundary we were limited to a maximum hieght of 2.5M of course but still managed a generous open apsce some 4.5 wide by 3.2M deep. 

Fully insulated and lined the building was set on a solid concrete foundation which used nearly 7.0 Tonnes of concrete. It has a floating timber floor and vapour barriers installed throughout. The asphault shingles on the roof simulate the Slates used on the main house. Painted both inside and out and eventually incorporating electical sockets and lights plus a conduit buried underground for any future electrical services or computer cables (none of which were part of the original works) this new build structure offered the client many options for the future.

 

Some spaces can be challenging. A small narrow garden with a request for a summerhouse that can function as a greenhouse. Further complicated by the odd shaped plot.

     It is solar powered with battery back up which features a radio and charging station. Rainwater colection and mains back up for winter heater all make a delightful retreat.
