TW Builds a Garden Room

Give it time - I'll have useless piles of stuff on every surface.

Cheers!

Cracking job that!

Amazing job! This is what I want to do this spring/summer! Couple of questions:

1. What are the dimensions on each "room"? I have the same idea of an office + trainer and then shed + storage. Happy for you to just send plans if easier
   
2. For someone with a terraced house, do you think it would be possible to have some of the long lenghts of timber split in two and joined with the metal bits in between and nailed together? Alternatively my retired neighbour has side access that I could use but wouldn't want to bother him everytime I have a different delivery
   
   

Planning on basing a lot of my build on the Oakwood garden room build pack

Thanks!

To answer your questions:

1) The floor areas are roughly 3.00 x 3.60 and 1.8 x 3.6. Drop me a PM with email, and I can send plans & sketch-up

2) I wouldn't want to do that myself, certainly not for any of the spans (either roof or door). For the door, I'd be wary of introducing anything that could expand / contract too much, and for the roof, anything that could deflect too much.

Finally got round to doing some remedial groundwork.

As the office is below ground level (to give me an extra 20cm height before hitting planning restrictions), I dug down and left a retained path around the outside.

Because I like to half arse things, though, I did not leave enough space between the retaining sleepers and the base of the office, meaning

1. there was a lot of backsplash when it rained,
   
2. there was probably not enough airflow, and
   
3. I couldn't reach under to chase through any cables, which I need to provide ethernet to the office tidily.
   
   

So the weekend was spend digging in cramped spaces. Three lots of this sort of thing:
