Planning and installation considerations

Building regulations: For a gym building less than 15 square metres, building regulations typically do not apply, but for larger structures or those with a high ceiling, regulations may be required.

Planning permission: A garden gym can be a permitted development as long as it meets specific size requirements, such as a maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres and a maximum overall height of 4 metres.

Headroom: If you plan to lift weights overhead, you may need a higher ceiling, which might require planning permission.

Ensure you prepare a solid, level base for your garden gym, made of concrete or paving slabs to provide stability for both the structure and your gym equipment.

Power and ventilation: Consider how you will run electricity to the building for lighting and equipment, as well as providing adequate ventilation for air circulation.
