Last summer I started work on a garden room self build. I got as far as constructing the suspended timber floor, fitting insulation between the floor joists, and installing an 18mm plywood subfloor. The plan was to construct the actual building last year, but life got in the way and the weather...

Exterior. I’m planning to sheath my wall timbers in 11mm OSB which will then be Tyvek wrapped, battens attached and clad in composite boards.

I'm part way through a garden room self-build (8m x 4m), currently on hold until the weather improves! I've constructed a suspended timber floor (on EasyPAD foundations), which I have insulated and boarded over with plywood. I am now finalising the plans for my walls. Quick question - should the...

After what has been months and months of groundwork (endless digging, 15 tonne of rubble shifted, tree removed, raised beds made from railway sleepers relocated...), I have finally begun construction of my 8m x 4m garden room. For the foundations, I decided to use EasyPads - I am building on a...

Those easypads look like they could be a simpler solution for me (especially given distance from road and uneven ground!). Did you go with one of their standard kits? I see they sell an easypad kit for an 8m x 4m timber garden room. How long has your building been up? Presumably you are happy...

Yeah, there's no getting away from it, it will be hard work! If necessary I'll take a week off work and do it over several days. I'll hopefully be able to draft in at least one helper as well! If I go down the concrete pad route, I'm hoping concrete could be pumped that distance?..

I'm currently doing some ground work for a garden room self build that I hope to do later in the year. I'm planning on an 8m x 4m timber build with a flat roof (warm roof, rubber coated). The site where I will constructing this is ~2 metres from a line of smallish trees/bushes, and 4-5 metres...

Thanks for the rapid responses everyone - that is perfect! I thought what I was suggesting would be fine, but thought it better to check! I also had a quick question about height restrictions - as pointed out above, the building will be more than two metres from our neighbour's boundary, so as...

I’m at the early stages of planning a garden room self-build – I consider myself a competent DIYer, but have never attempted something on this scale, so hoping to get some advice here! The plan is for an 8m x 4m timber building (built on a contrete base), with an internal wall separating into a...
