[@RestoringNumberFour]

Plans would be amazing!

[@thediyfix]

@@RestoringNumberFour I am considering putting some together. However, to do it right would take quite a bit of work. So I would probably have to charge a small fee for the plans. Im just not sure if there is enough demand

[@jamieoddie254]

@@thediyfix I was actually looking on ebay for some plans for somethung similar, I wouldnt mind paying a asmall fee for plans / instructions.

I built one a year ago now and I'm telling you guys it's one of the best things I've done , sometimes men just need to have a beer , listen to some music or just quiet time by them selves. And other times have friends and family round,, mine has already given me great memories.. Just pick up the shovel and do it...

100% agreed 👍🏻

AMEN to that. I've just cut down 4 large conifers to make space. The were taking up 30ft by 10ft. Sorry but a beer with the boys in the back garden in our own private pub, trumps a few high maintenance trees

Top tip for fixing the vapour barrier... Use spay adhesive, works a treat and no staple holes

[@thediyfix]

Good idea,

[@rexim3530]

Top job, im doing pretty much the same thing right now. Used your videos as reference for most of my build. Thanks

Thats Awesome Davide. Can I ask what you use your garden room for?

[@DavideFortuna]

@@thediyfix Sure! We recently moved and I needed a place to mess with woodworking. So I built a nice little workshop. www.youtube.com/@dfwoodworks

[@rebeccahenderson7761]

It's beautiful. I wish I had known about the exterior oil when we converted our backyard garage here in Canada with cedar. Now it's a dark reddish colour on the South side, and gray on the Eastern side. We put vinyl siding on the other 2 sides, bc they aren't visible to us, just a steep hill, so didn't spend the extra money.

[@ric0816]

Great video. I am a professional painter and decorator and used osmo products many times. UV clear won't last too long. It needs topping up every other year especially on South facing side.

[@thediyfix]

Thanks for the tips Ric, the back is south facing so I suspect this will fade fastest

Yeah the BT building is ugly. However, on a positive note, there is never anyone in that part of the building and it does mean no neighbours looking over our garden :) It did great over winter, needed heater on when it was really cold but held heat amazingly well

A little bit when its been cold. I am using it for a gym so I did expect there would be some. In hindsight I could have added an extractor fan, but leaving the window on vent has worked fine. I also have a dehumidifier in the house if I really needed to use it (I havent yet)

Great job, did you fit any ventilation

[@thediyfix]

I didnt add any no. The vapour barrier should stop any moisture entering the roof from the room. Also, there is a gap between the soffit and wall, and the back of the cladding is open due to the battens. So in theory this should provide plenty of ventilation

[@jamesmozzy]

No problem@@thediyfix . Can i ask a quick question. I'm about to do a 14ft by 14ft garden office and i was wondering if you can settle an issue i've been having. i was wanting to do a cement base but then the cost of it seemed way too much so i saw a ton of videos on youtube where the do the formwork and then use compacted stone ( 3/4 shale i think or aggregate) as a shed base. Can you tell me if that is a terrible idea ? do you see any issues with using that method instead of just a concrete base? any advice would be awesome.

[@thediyfix]

@@jamesmozzy I wouldnt like to advise on that type of base. The truth is I honestly dont know if that would be ok. What I will say is my base cost £383.18. This included ballast, cement, hardcore, hiring a mixer, and buying timber to create the formwork. I mixed it myself and this was far cheaper than having the concrete delivered.
