The advantages of enlarging the gazebo are obvious: Firstly, this gives you additional, covered storage space, for example for bicycles, the lawn mower or garden tools. The dream of a garden house with secondary use as a hobby or party room can also be realized in this way.

Garden houses made of stone can be easily expanded

The building permit is often required before the expansion

If you want to expand the arbor, it rarely works entirely without bureaucracy. In most cases, you need a building permit for garden houses before you set up the house. If the house is now to be enlarged, a new permit is also required. Before you start the construction project, you should therefore contact the responsible municipality.

A visually appealing overall picture

Enlarging the garden shed (€24.90) can take a little more effort than simply putting up a new shed. After all, the extension shouldn't look like a fleeting foreign body, but should blend in harmoniously with the green area.

Addition to a wooden garden shed

In many cases, you can easily extend a standard wooden garden house with a suitable extension. These are available in an open form or as a small equipment cabinet. It is important here:

  • Draw a plan with all dimensions. You will also need this for approval.
  • Connect the extension to the substructure with a substructure.
  • If possible, use the same wood thickness and type as for the garden shed.
  • The extension measure lends itself to renovating the old arbor. Both buildings will then be given a uniform coat of paint to create a visually appealing overall picture.

The stone house

This garden house can last for generations and can be expanded relatively easily with an extension. Depending on your wishes, you can build it into a solid wall or make it out of wood, the paintwork of which is coordinated with the color of the little house.

tips

If an extension of the garden house is not possible due to the construction method, you can simply increase the roof overhang a little. This also creates an additional, albeit not closed, protected space.
