How to Choose a Seasonal Winter Garden

In short: Choose the enclosure for the way you use your terrace from spring to autumn. No model includes heating; an infrared heater is an optional extra. The infrared heater provides warmth only while switched on.

What do you want from the terrace?

Start with the available space and when you sit outside. A winter garden provides a glazed, sheltered terrace, not another heated room in your home. Check the space needed for furniture, walking routes and opening panels.

How does the aspect affect the design?

Look at when the terrace gets direct sun. Plan shade for warm periods and opening panels for ventilation. A sheltered seating position can make the space more useful when the weather changes.

Which frame and glazing should I choose?

Compare wooden and aluminium frames by their appearance and maintenance needs. Confirm the glazing specification for the exact model. Wood Garden walls can have optional insulated double glazing; do not assume this option applies to every model or the whole enclosure.

Is heating included?

No Gazebo model includes heating. You can buy an infrared heater as an optional extra. This does not turn a seasonal terrace enclosure into a room for everyday winter living. The infrared heater provides warmth only while switched on.

What should I send for a quote?

Send the terrace dimensions, photos and how you would like to use it. Ask for a consultation to discuss the frame, glazing, shading and optional extras. Quotes are available within 24 hours and delivery is typically 6-8 weeks.
