What Lugarde does

Lugarde B.V. is a privately held Dutch manufacturer of premium wooden garden buildings, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Laren, Netherlands. The company designs and produces garden rooms, log cabins, gazebos, pavilions, garages and carports, organized across three building systems (Prima, Pro, Premium) that differ in construction technique, profile options and price point. Its flagship Premium system uses post-and-beam construction with traditional mortise and tenon joints and dovetail connections, with vertical Triple Rhombus cladding in Douglas fir, larch or spruce. Lugarde manufactures timber and PVC windows, doors and glass sliding walls in-house, holds KOMO and SKG certifications on key components, and sources timber from responsibly managed forests.

The company sells exclusively through a carefully selected independent dealer network covering the Netherlands, Belgium, England, Scotland and Ireland, and does not transact directly with end customers. Two service models sit on top of this channel: Lugarde Select (curated standard models with fixed dimensions and dealer pricing from approximately €5,000 to €24,000) and Lugarde Bespoke (fully customized designs finalized through dealer consultation or a 3D configurator with augmented-reality garden visualization). Marketing relies on the configurator, brochures, newsletters and dealer showroom displays, with a stated 45-year operating history and 51-100 employees.

Revenue is generated entirely from one-time unit sales of garden buildings through dealers, with pricing varying by model, size and specification. No public revenue, funding, or ownership changes are disclosed, and there is no evidence of external investment; the business is described as an independent, family-founded operation. Strategic emphasis in recent years has been on the Premium system launch, the 3D configurator with AR, and the cross-border dealer expansion into the UK and Ireland.
