Editorial Policy

How GardenSpacewise researches, evaluates and presents information to help UK consumers make better-informed garden-building decisions.

Our editorial purpose

GardenSpacewise exists to make researching garden buildings easier. Products such as garden rooms and offices can represent a substantial household purchase, yet comparing suppliers is often difficult because specifications, installation and included features vary considerably.

Our objective is to turn that information into clear, useful guidance that helps readers understand their options and identify the questions they should ask before buying.

Our most important rule We will not state that GardenSpacewise has personally tested, used or inspected a product unless that has genuinely taken place.

How we research products

Depending on the subject, our research may include information published by manufacturers, retailers, installers and other relevant sources.

Specifications

Construction, dimensions, materials, insulation, glazing, roofing, doors and other technical characteristics.

Pricing

Published prices and, where possible, consideration of what is actually included within those prices.

Installation

Delivery, foundations, assembly, installation options and additional work that buyers may need to arrange.

Warranty & support

Published guarantees, warranties and other relevant after-sales information.

Suitability

Whether a building appears appropriate for uses such as home working, hobbies, entertaining, storage or year-round use.

Value

We consider the overall proposition rather than assuming that either the cheapest or most expensive option is best.

How we create comparisons

Identify the buying decision We begin with the question a reader is actually trying to answer.
Research the market We identify relevant products, suppliers and specifications using available sources.
Compare meaningful differences We focus on characteristics that could materially affect the purchasing decision.
Explain who each option suits Rather than assuming one product is best for everybody, we aim to explain circumstances in which different options may make sense.
Review and update Product ranges, specifications and prices change, so published information may be reviewed and updated when appropriate.

Commercial relationships

GardenSpacewise may earn revenue through advertising, affiliate programmes, referral arrangements or other commercial partnerships.

The availability of a commercial relationship does not guarantee that a product or supplier will be recommended. We may include products or companies from which GardenSpacewise receives no payment.

Where content contains affiliate links or other advertising relationships, we aim to identify this clearly for readers.

Accuracy and corrections

Garden-building specifications, prices, promotions, availability and guarantees can change. Readers should therefore confirm important information directly with the relevant supplier before making a purchase.

If we discover a material error, or a reader or supplier brings one to our attention, we aim to investigate it and update the relevant content where appropriate.

Suppliers are welcome to contact us regarding factual inaccuracies, but requests for changes do not guarantee alterations to independent editorial opinions or conclusions.
