While the quickest way to buy a garden room is to work with an experienced company, it is possible to self build a garden room. You can buy a garden room kit or design your garden room from scratch, sourcing all the materials you need for the project.
Designing a garden room from scratch is the route that London based Oliver and his brother took. They planned to transform the end of their city garden. They wanted to replace a block of old garages with a tailormade multifunctional workspace - a space that could be used as a home office, workshop, music room and relaxation area, with storage for bikes too!
Oliver documents their self-build journey on his website www.outbackgardenrooms.com. As part of the planning stage, Oliver purchased a copy of our Self Build Garden Room Guide, which looks at different aspects of designing and building a garden room.
If you are thinking of embarking on a garden room self-build project, we would suggest you take a look at Oliver's build gallery; it is pretty inspiring! It proves that with thought, as a self-builder, you can create a well-specified, tailormade garden room. We must admit we are pretty envious of the space Oliver and his brother have created - if only our workshop were that well organised!
