Made for life
in Barnet.
For a Barnet golf studio, first establish the simulator’s clearances and where the screen can sit without compromising the swing area. Then consider impact noise and glare in relation to neighbouring homes. Our completed St Albans studio shows a bespoke solution with planning permission; the same dimensions will need their own assessment in Barnet.
Start with what mattersGood design
Good design
begins here.
Three conversations to have before settling on the size and specification of your golf studio.
01
A complete swing envelope
Check width, depth and clear internal height with your simulator supplier for the actual players and clubs.
02
Screen and launch monitor
Allow for screen stand-off, impact protection, projector position and the tracking requirements of your chosen equipment.
03
Lighting and other uses
Balance glare control for the screen with daylight, seating and any cinema or fitness use.

Golf Studio in St Albans
This 6m x 4m garden room was designed with a 3m internal ceiling height to accommodate a state-of-the-art golf simulator, creating the perfect environment for year-round practice. Built with planning permission secured, the space also doubles as a home cinema and private gym, making it a truly versatile addition to the property. Finished with premium materials and tailored for multi-use, it blends luxury and functionality in one bespoke Cedar Space.

Confirm the permissions for your property.
Use Barnet Council’s planning guidance to check the route for your proposal. Give the exact address, intended use, footprint and height, and identify any conservation, listed-building or other restrictions before treating a garden building as permitted development.

Do you build golf studios in Barnet?
Yes. Barnet is within Cedar Spaces’ published Hertfordshire and North London service area. Our team is based in Harpenden. Share your postcode and garden details so we can assess access and the scope of your project.
What size garden building do I need for a golf simulator?
There is no universal minimum that works for every player and system. Cedar’s St Albans example is a 6 × 4 m building with a documented 3 m internal ceiling and planning permission. Use it as a project reference, then confirm the clearances for your own simulator and swing.
What should I check about planning in Barnet?
Use Barnet Council’s planning guidance to check the route for your proposal. Give the exact address, intended use, footprint and height, and identify any conservation, listed-building or other restrictions before treating a garden building as permitted development. Ask Barnet Council about the requirements for your specific address and proposal.
How do I get an accurate price?
Share your postcode, intended use, approximate dimensions and access details. We then discuss the specification and site requirements. The online studio’s base guide is not a complete installed quotation; Cedar Spaces is VAT registered; ask for a written total with the VAT breakdown, inclusions and exclusions.
Can I see real Cedar Spaces projects?
Yes. Our project collection includes photographs and descriptions of completed buildings, including offices and gyms in Harpenden and leisure and golf rooms in St Albans. Each example shows its actual location.
