A survey of 2,000 people has revealed that the nation’s dream garden is 88ft long, with a summer house, a fire pit, and a built-in barbecue.
The survey of must-haves for the great British garden created a list of 50 items that are most wanted, and include a shed, summer house, and a log cabin, as well as features such as pizza ovens, log storage and yoga area, reports the Worcester News.
The survey was commissioned by roofing material suppliers Onduline and saw a half of respondents preferring a flat garden rather than landscape, while 32 per cent want stone flooring compared to 30 per cent who prefer decking.
The typically, garden-owners enjoyed their outdoor spaces for seven hours a week, along with three hours in their outbuildings. 13 per cent said they own a summer house, and 55 per cent own a garage.
Over a quarter of the use their outbuildings for relaxing, 15 per cent use them as a workspace, and 17 per cent use them as a hobby space.
Paul Duffy, managing director of Onduline said: “Outdoor buildings have always been a key feature of any garden, whether it is a shed or greenhouse, but this survey highlights that people dream of being more adventurous with their choices.
“Summer houses or animal pens may seem like very aspirational products but making the dream a reality is much easier than many may think.”
Also featuring on the list were a treehouse, a bar, and a workshop, which are all great reasons for building a log cabin the UK, as well as use as a shed or a summer house.

Delivery was efficient, all well packaged and protected from damage. Constructed by three of us in one and a half days. Everything fitted perfectly and needed gentle mallet to locate exactly. Instruction book was clear simple and explicit. Thoroughly delighted with the construction and the finish. Very pleased that Martin was able to redraw the design to our specification. Delighted with the whole thing, finish, price and service. Thanks Martin.

Great quality item with simple, concise instructions, easily constructed by the family. Great delivery service. However, the customer service from Garden Adventure was not great; the cabin was a month late arriving, we had to chase for information regarding this as none was forthcoming. The incorrect bearers arrived and although we received a refund we had to chase for this. Not sure I would recommend them but the cabin materials were great.

Seamless ordering, Martin was extremely helpful with all my questions. Delivery was also fantastic with the delivery guy very helpful (it's a big delivery). Took me and elderly father in law 2 days to get it all up and built/weather tight, went together very easily with no issues. I went for the shingle roof, it still came also with felt which could be used as roof underlay. For spec I went for the superior level glazing with toughened glass, also went for the larger logs (68mm) and glad I did as feels so sturdy/insulated although am sure the 44mm would be great also. I Insulated the floor with celotex, could have done the roof but as this is a garden room rather than office etc I didn't go that far. Overall a highly recommended product, for what you get I think it's a very competitive price, much better than others I had seen that weren't so good. The only parts I bought myself were the insulation and guttering (and paint/preserve of course). I want it to last so did two coats of preserve, knotting and two of paint, also have a sealant to go on which is yet to be done. A sprayer really helped/cut down on time. Would not hesitate in recommending Martin to purchase through, helpful all through the process and very quick to respond. 5*

Great cabin. Excellent quality. From the initial ordering and having it customised to my specs, to screwing on the last piece of trim this has been a pleasure. Straight forward to assemble. Had everything but the roof covering done in a day on account of how well it went together. Sturdy high quality build. Could not be happier. This company have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Top marks 👍

Really pleased with our log cabin! Can't believe the quality of the wood. It took the installation team (Lee Stuart and 3 others who were recommended by Martin) 6.5 hours which was really impressive given the weather conditions on the day, and even they said how good the quality was. It is so warm inside and we didn't even have the insulation installed. Great correspondence from Martin from the start to keep us in the loop regarding production and delivery times. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Martin!
