Hi all,
I am about to build a Garden Room / Summer House down my garden from scratch, and I would like some hints tips and advice please?
I have just created a new big shed at the bottom of my garden, so that I can strip the existing shed (well its actually 7metres x 2.5 metres) and take everything out....... the existing shed is made up of bits and pieces by the previous owner so couldnt be used in its current shape (the roof is corrugated and pours straight over the fence into next door neighbours garden....)
So what I am about to do is dig about 8 little holes in the ground and fill with concrete to form the piers on which the wooden structure will sit.
Then I will build out the structure using 2x4 (or potentially 2x3 with more uprights).
My plan is to use OSB for the outer skin of the walls (or perhaps lapping), with membranes and cellotex and then plasterboard (see picture).
For the roof, I plan on OSB, but then putting the existing Metal Corrugated roofing straight on top (potentially with a barrier if people here think needed).
I know there is more to be explained, but can anyone see any particular problems/improvements on my planned method?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ben
