This is super useful!!! Haven’t seen any videos explaining this.

I can't tell you how great these vids are in this series - this will be like the 'Magna Carta' of Garden Rooms tutorials :) Anyhoo - just in terms of the frame/ladder for the step - is it paramount that its up off the ground? The reason being I'm planning to build a mini garden room (an 8x4 shed actually - before doing a full size garden room next spring) and am doing the base the same way - with the posts in concrete - and using treated 6x2's for the base frame.....so it looks like you have it totally raised off the ground...? Sorry if this is a silly question!

Thanks so much!!! It needs to be about an inch off the ground so it doesn't rot. The only reason we are so high from their ground is because this particular garden room is on a slope. Usually we wouldn't need to put a step in as the base in only a couple of inches from the floor! Hope this helps.

Great stuff. Do you treat the cut edges for longevity?

It’s composite 👍
