Important Considerations

Size & Access for Static Caravans

Static caravans are the most space-efficient annex option, ideal for typical residential gardens with standard access.

Typical Static Caravan Dimensions

Most caravans are 30x10ft to 40x12ft (approx 9-12m x 3-3.5m). They require minimum 3-3.5m access width for delivery. Check your garden dimensions and side passage width before selecting.

Static caravans are transported in two sections, making them easier to maneuver than lodges. However, you still need adequate access, level ground preparation, and consideration for positioning relative to boundaries and existing structures.
