Common questions Stainesai
The cost can be influenced by the size of the structure, choice of materials, and site accessibility.
A standard garden structure usually takes 3-5 days to complete, including setting and finishing.
Carpenters typically supply materials, but clients can choose to supply their own if preferred.
Most garden structures do not require planning permission if they meet certain criteria, such as being single storey and not exceeding specific height limits. However, it's important to check local regulations, especially in conservation areas or for listed buildings. Always confirm with your tradesperson before work begins.
