Demand for garden buildings has continued to grow during the pandemic, with a key trend towards all-year insulated constructions, according to the latest report from AMA research.

“There has been greater demand for more premium materials and for detached buildings which can be used all year round,” says the organisation, “The unpredictability of the UK’s weather, coupled with people spending more time at home due to Covid-19 lockdowns, has led to increased demand for insulated buildings.

“The garden is now perceived as an extension of the inside of the home, reflecting the homeowner’s tastes.”

 Ozge Celik Russell, research manager at AMA Research and editor of the Residential Garden Buildings and Structures Market Report added: “There are estimated 22 million gardens in Great Britain and over 90 percent of these are attached to houses, with regional and generational differences in garden sizes and homeownership.

“This provides a large consumer base for garden products, buildings and structures. The 7th edition of the Residential Garden Buildings and Structures Market report is extended to include glazed extensions attached to the main building and covers the changes the sub-sectors have undergone during the Covid-19 pandemic.”

On the trend for all-year buildings, he concluded: “Manufacturers have already started to respond through new product development and upgrade options. This trend will drive growth in traded value in garden buildings for all year round use and also impact how the product mix for detached garden buildings will evolve in the short-to-medium term as insulation options are added to log cabins and summerhouses.”
