A new customer survey by Crane Garden Buildings has revealed just how integral garden buildings have become to modern living. Of the 320 Crane customers who responded, an impressive 83 per cent said they use their garden building every single week, all year round.
The results highlight how these spaces, once seen as occasional retreats or storage solutions, are now cherished as a valuable and well-used extension of the home. Whether as a home office, fitness studio, craft workshop, or simply a quiet place to escape and recharge, garden buildings are being woven into daily routines across the country.
The survey reflects a broader lifestyle shift towards making the most of our homes and gardens throughout the year. It also reinforces Crane’s long-held belief that a well-designed, high-quality garden building is not a seasonal indulgence but an enduring, versatile part of family life.
Russell Atkinson, CEO of Crane Garden Buildings, said: “These findings show just how loved and well-used our buildings are. When 83 per cent of customers are stepping into their garden building every single week, in every season, it underlines their value as a true extension of the home. They’re places where people work, create, relax and spend time with family, spaces that make a genuine difference to their quality of life. At Crane, we’re proud to design and build buildings that not only look beautiful in the garden but also become a meaningful part of our customers’ everyday lives.”
Founded more than 50 years ago and still proudly rooted in Norfolk, Crane Garden Buildings handcrafts every building at its Narford headquarters. Today, with show sites nationwide, the company is recognised as one of the UK’s leading names in premium garden rooms, sheds and summerhouses, creating spaces designed to last and to be enjoyed for generations.
