It often is as an outbuilding, but the building, business equipment and valuable electronics can have different limits.

What makes a garden office different?

• It may have lighter doors and windows than the house.
• It can contain expensive computers.
• It often uses heating and fixed electrics.
• It may be used for business rather than ordinary domestic storage.

Keeping the office secure and weather-tight

• Use suitable locks.
• Keep the roof and exterior weather-tight.
• Use safe fixed electrics and heating.
• Keep valuable equipment out of sight.

Look at the outbuilding limit, the single-item limit for electronics and any restriction on business equipment.
