BUYING A PREFABRICATED GARDEN OFFICE
Possibilities of prefabricated garden offices
Have you started working more from home and is that permanent? Is it sometimes difficult to combine with your home situation such as a busy family life or not enough (office) space at home? Then consider switching your home office swap for a garden office.
The idea of garden offices is not new. Many garden houses or sheds have been converted into garden offices by the handy DIYer. However, it is difficult to get such structures comfortable when it is cold or hot outside. Besides, not everyone is a do-it-yourselfer or there is simply too little time to make this.
Alternatively, a prefabricated garden office by Ripstaal based on steel framing. The garden office unit is fully insulated and meets state-of-the-art building requirements. In addition, the smart design allows the garden office unit to be customised as required.
The prefabricated garden office unit can often be installed without permission. The rules may vary from one municipality to another. We therefore always recommend checking the zoning plan with your municipality. Looking for some more information on permit-free installation of a prefab garden office unit? In this article you will find more information.
Prefab garden office from Ripstaal Steelframing
At Ripstaal, to build prefabricated garden office units, we use the technique steel frame construction. This method is strong, lightweight and the frame cannot rot which is the case with timber frame construction.
The prefabricated steel structure forms the basis of the building, where it is possible to clad the walls with a variety of materials. Thus creating a sleek and modern garden office by prefabricated, but also an attractive garden office with its own unique look. Whichever style you choose: prefabricated construction is fast, effective and also cost-saving.
Prefab: from drawing to production
Are you interested in a garden office custom? The production of these is a precise process and must be 100% calculated in advance. Therefore, we need to have a Technical Drawing of your building project. A technical drawing is usually made by an architect.
Based on the technical drawing, we can start the engineering in which the building project is analysed in terms of design and construction. Here, we determine what is needed to create a suitable steel framework for your building design.
It is therefore important to have an architect (or technical draftsman) assist you. We cannot make an offer without a technical drawing.
Do you choose a standard model garden office? Then the above is not necessary.

Advantages of a Prefab Garden Office
Having a garden office has many advantages:
- Working undisturbed
- Enjoying the 'greenery' in the garden
- Creating clear work-life boundary for yourself and family
- No travel time and therefore more private time

Why Ripstaal Group?
At Ripstaal, we combine prefabricated construction with the advantages of Steel frame construction. The benefits are;
- Light construction. Steel frames are lightweight, much lighter than traditional construction. This has several advantages, including that the foundation can be made a lot lighter.
- Durable: The construction is fully reusable, generates little waste during production and easy to build gap-tight.
- Strong: The construction can even withstand severe storms. Longhorn and other pests cannot attack the structure (unlike timber frame construction)
- Cost-saving: Save as much as 30% on shell construction costs. For example, less labour is needed at the construction site.
- Architectural freedom: Any shape can be implemented and large spans are possible. Also suitable for more complex projects.
- Meets all requirements: Design of cold-rolled steel profiles meets requirements of Eurocodes 3, and system meets all requirements of the Building Regulations
- Under controlled weather conditions production takes place regardless of rain, wind or frost. This is followed by fast assembly on the building site, without drying times.
