Crown Pavilions vs Crane
Crane Garden Buildings, founded in 1974, makes its Pavilion Garden Room in Scandinavian Redwood in more than 15 sizes, with delivery and installation by its own team. Its listed specification has double glazing with 4mm toughened glass and insulated walls and roof, with no thickness published. Crown includes triple glazing, dark grey aluminium doors, smart air conditioning that also cools and a 150mm to 280mm insulated build-up. Both offer a 10-year guarantee and finance, and both need a base: Crown quotes it after a site survey.
