What is a garden man cave?
Well, it’s whatever you want it to be. We all need a place of our own, a fortress of solitude to unwind from the stresses of life with room for whatever your heart desires. Outdoor man caves are a means to add more space to your home in a cost-effective and eco-friendly way. A man cave can be filled with anything you want. A bar to enjoy a drink or two with your friends, shoot some pool while listening to your favourite tunes or a private destination to watch the football. The world is your oyster. The only limit is your imagination. `

Why you need a man cave in your garden
A garden man cave is a means of having a dedicated space for a man of the world to unwind in a customisable and comfortable environment that is truly your own. Sometimes, a man needs a break from the stresses of life, but that can be challenging in a shared house where space might not be available. This makes garden man caves ideal for storing all sorts of items from gym equipment, CDs, musical instruments, collectibles and more, helping to declutter your house keeping not only you happy, but your significant other too.
Outdoor man caves for a combination of uses
Why stop at just using your man cave for one reason? OGEL offers a varied selection of sizes for outdoor man caves, helping you to create a multi-purpose space. There’ll be room for a bar and a pool table, gym equipment and a gaming station or a sofa to rest and watch movies along with a recording station for your musical needs. We help design and build whatever your heart desires.
Benefits of garden man caves
- Freedom and Solace: A separate space from your home only a 30-second walk away. You have your own space to take a break from the worries of day-to-day life and enjoy what you love the most.
- Entertain your friends: Invite your mates round for a drink and shoot some pool or play some split-screen games on your PlayStation. Host cinema nights or get everyone rallied for the big sports game. While it’s a personalised space, outdoor mancaves are great to share with friends and family.
- Enjoy your hobbies all year round: Thanks to the highly insulated recycled materials we use, you can enjoy your favourite hobbies all year round, no matter the weather.
- A personal touch: All man caves are truly unique. Decorate your garden man cave just how you like, with your favourite posters, colours, furnishings, lighting and layout.
Considering what you need for a bespoke outdoor man cave
It’s important to consider several things before building your garden man cave. Firstly, consider the size of your garden and what size man cave you’ll be able to fit in it. Additionally, consider what you’re going to use it for and ponder your plumbing and electrical needs. What do you want to house in your man cave – will there be a pool table, a sofa space, a luxury full-size bar?
Don’t worry, the team at OGEL are here to help you with designing your outdoor man cave and will support you from design to construction.
