Garden Games Room
Your garden doesn’t have to be all about the greenery, it can also be about the games! A garden games room from Timber Rooms gives you, your family, and your friends the perfect opportunity to enjoy a bespoke games room that encapsulates a whole host of relaxing activities that allow you to wind down, zone out and just relax!
Whether it be a fully equipped gaming room where you have a big screen, powerful console, and full-on sound, or a pool table accompanied by a darts board, a bar and some typical pub games, your garden games room can be whatever you want it to be.
Picture it now. You fancy a game of pool with your friends, but the local pub table never works, and the drinks are too expensive. Or maybe your kids love gaming and enjoy seeing their Minecraft exploits on the big screen. Perhaps you enjoy carefully curating your Warhammer characters and need a space to plot a game strategy, or maybe after a hard week of work, dealing a few hands of poker with your pals is right up your street.
A garden games room and bar, or without a bar if you prefer, is your solution. A perfect paradise away from home, but still very much at home, where you can enjoy all your favourite pastimes without having to spend a fortune to do so!

Building a games room in the garden
Building a games room in the garden
Your garden games room can be exactly what you want it to be, and our team at Timber Rooms can make that vision turn into a reality with one of our bespoke garden rooms. We use the finest materials to create a structure that not only looks incredible but is built to last so you can enjoy immersing yourself in games and activities for years to come. A 10-year structural guarantee comes as standard, giving you full confidence that the games room in your garden will be an investment set to give you years of enjoyment.
Built with the same construction methods as those used in timber frame house building, you can rely on a games room for garden from Timber Rooms to be something of exceptional quality.
How do we do it though?
Firstly, we listen to you. We find out exactly what garden games room ideas you have, what you want to achieve and any specific requirements you want us to factor in.
Then, we visit your property and chat with you about your ideas and how they could or couldn’t work. We are always fully transparent with you, so you will never have to worry about false promises or unrealistic expectations.
Once we have assessed the land and dived a little deeper into what you want from your garden games room, we set about designing it.
Our expert design team will go away with your vision and their skills to plan the perfect game room for your garden. They will factor in the need for power supplies, heating, water and more to give you the perfect games room set-up. They will then present you with a set of detailed 3D drawings that show you exactly how your games room will look.
If you then give us the green light, you simply book our team of Timber Room builders who will then attend the property and get started. They will then remain on site until your games room and bar are completed.
