Garden Room Installation, Foundations and Permits: What Buyers Should Check

Choosing a DuraMax Garden Glass Room is just one part of planning a backyard project. Buyers should also consider the supporting foundation, assembly, delivery access and local rules before ordering.

What is included?

DuraMax Garden Glass Room models 32001 and 32003 include insulated steel wall and roof panels, tempered-glass components and a four-inch steel foundation frame. A foundation frame is not finished flooring. The site must be prepared with a suitable level supporting surface and anchoring arrangements appropriate to local conditions.

What may cost extra?

Potential additional work includes grading, support surfaces, flooring, assembly, anchoring, electrical service, ventilation, climate control, furnishings and professional installation. Review the product manual and consult qualified local contractors before beginning site work.

Permits and intended use

Requirements can vary according to local zoning rules, size, intended use, electrical work and property setbacks. A backyard studio or garden room is not automatically approved as a habitable dwelling or accessory dwelling unit. Confirm requirements with your local building authority before purchasing or installing.

Choose and purchase through authorized dealers
