Hello.
I am considering building a garden office in the space currently occupied by my shed and some decking. It is surrounded on 3 sides by fences, so I was wondering the best way to build it.
I initially looked at SIPs, but having spoken to a couple of companies, it seems that site is too small as the panels need to be laid flat for the cladding to be fitted before being swung vertical.
My next thought was to use plywood sheets with a wooden frame, which is probably in my skill range, but I am concerned that the sheets won't last for more that a couple of years.
Another option I thought about was dense blocks (not aerated blocks). I think they can be constructed from the inside, but I didn't know if they would be sufficiently weatherproof given that I would be unable to access the outside.
Are there any other options?
Thanks in advance.
Carl
