Adley 6 x 3m Tiddington Insulated Garden Room

Product Review: Adley 6 x 3m Tiddington Insulated Garden Room

The Adley 6 x 3m Tiddington Insulated Garden Room stands out in the crowded shed market, seamlessly merging functionality and aesthetic appeal. With a focus on high-quality materials and modern design, we found this garden room to be an intriguing option for those in search of additional space, whether for work, hobbies, or simply a cozy retreat in the garden.

Category Overview

This product falls under the main category of Sheds but can also be classified into several subcategories, including Shed With Windows and Garden Offices. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for varied uses such as gardening, home offices, or summer lounging.

Design and Build Quality

One of the most appealing aspects of the Tiddington Garden Room is its modern pent roof design, which not only adds to the aesthetic but also facilitates rain drainage, reducing potential water accumulation. Constructed from shiplap tongue & groove cladding, this product achieves an excellent balance between durability and insulation, making it a top choice in the garden building market. The 16mm thick walls exhibit superior structural integrity and thermal efficiency, crucial for climate control.

However, it’s important to note that the shed is currently untreated, meaning you will need to apply a protective finish upon installation to ensure longevity and weather resistance. Although this may seem a drawback, many DIY enthusiasts appreciate the chance to personalise their treatment choice.

Windows and Natural Light

The Adley Tiddington boasts four single-glazed windows, flooding the interior with natural light, ideal for use as a garden office or creative space. While single glazing is fairly common, it tends to lag behind double or triple-glazed options in terms of insulation, which is something to consider in cooler climates. For those who plan to heat the space, investing in thermal curtains may enhance comfort levels significantly.

Accessibility and Organisation

The double door entry (1,500mm wide) enhances accessibility, making it easy to bring in furniture or gardening supplies. While this width is slightly narrower than average, the height of 1,850mm still offers reasonable headroom for most users—although it is important to remember that some taller individuals may need to duck a little. This garden room is perfect for anyone looking to maximise their outdoor space without compromising on usability.

Expert Scores and Market Position

When evaluated by our experts, the Adley Tiddington secured a high score of 4 out of 5 in construction quality and ease of construction. However, the quality of materials utilized received a slightly lower score of 3.5 out of 5. Overall, this product holds an Expert Score of 72, placing it just above average among 20′ x 13′ sheds. We noted that the price tag of £14,489 is £2 less than the average for similar products, offering potential buyers excellent value for quality.

Comparison Within the Category

We compared it to eight other 20′ x 13′ sheds and found it to be the highest-scoring among them. If budget is more of a concern, the Adley 6 x 3m Alveston Insulated Garden Room is a viable alternative, priced at £14,159 and sharing the same notable Expert Score of 72.

Conclusion: Is the Adley Tiddington Worth It?

In conclusion, the Adley 6 x 3m Tiddington Insulated Garden Room presents itself as a stylish and functional solution for enhancing your outdoor living space. Despite the need for additional treatment and a less-than-ideal door width, it is hard to ignore the quality of construction and materials used. The spacious design, generous natural light, and solid build quality certainly justify its investment for anyone looking to introduce a versatile garden room into their lives.
