Renovate the garden house: valuable tips
A simple arbor without water and electricity is no longer appropriate for many. Maybe the house has become unsightly, so it needs a new coat of paint or the roof is leaking. But what is the best way to go about remediation?
The roof
Many garden houses are covered with bitumen shingles or roofing felt. If the roof licks, as discolored or even puddled inside, you can, depending on the extent, seal the damage or apply a completely new cover. On this occasion, also assess the stability of the battens and exchange damaged wood.
The side walls are weathered
While garden sheds made of metal or plastic often last for decades and yet remain visually beautiful, wooden models need a regular coat of paint. Proceed as follows:
Isolate garden shed
Modern insulation ensures that the interior of the house does not overheat on hot summer days. At the same time, it keeps frost away and, provided the arbor is also equipped with heating, ensures a cozy living atmosphere in winter. Should be insulated as far as possible:
When doing this, make sure that no cold bridges form. Moisture deposits at these points, resulting in mold formation.
Install a heater
If you want to use the garden house as a second living room in the winter months, you should also integrate a heating system during the refurbishment. Here are several options:
When doing this, bear in mind that safety regulations must be observed, depending on the type of heating system. In addition, you need the approval of the responsible building authority when integrating a fireplace.
Tips
In the course of refurbishment, it is worthwhile to integrate one of the floor coverings in a garden gazebo without a floor. Coordinated with the purpose of use, this ensures that the arbor receives a homely appearance.
