The Dreaded Winter Commute

Commuting to and from can be frustrating at the best of times, let alone during harsh winter conditions and If the winter of 2010 is anything to go by – we’re in for another unforgiving one.

Whether it’s the thought of waking up even earlier to beat the rush hour and traffic or waiting outside in the cold dark mornings for the unreliable and unpredictable public transport, a Garden Office can put your mind at rest.

There are many advantages to eliminating the winter commute.  With more and more people being affected by snow nowadays, the last thing anybody wants is to be snowed in when they have a lot of work they should be getting on with.  The ‘commute’ now a mere few seconds down your garden lawn will ensure you can be at your most productive without the hassle of worrying about getting into work. 

Harsh weather or not, another angle to look at is the vast amount of time and money you will inevitably save in the long term investing in a Garden Room to suit your individual needs. A recent report from the RAC captures the scale of the phenomenon. “The average daily commute takes 54 minutes, except in London, where it rises to 86 minutes, and the average commuter travels far enough to encircle the globe two and a half times during the course of his or her working life.” [1]. If you take this 54 minutes and multiply it by 10 (the number of times you will be doing it each week) that’s 540 minutes or 9 hours.  Over the course of the year this amounts to an average of over 20 days, and the beauty is you could utilise this extra time any way you like, be it a holiday or that priceless extra hour in bed. 

With the ever increasing motoring costs and fuel prices predicted to rise even further, everybody is eager to cut down on motoring expenditure.  It is reported on average a family in the UK spends almost a quarter of their income on motoring, so with our range of Garden Rooms starting at a very affordable £9,995, you could recover this money in no time, whilst enjoying the comforts of working in your own home.
