Self Build Garden Rooms

Soon to launch!

Self Build Garden Room Guide

[slider_pro id=”2″]

Over recent months we have seen an increase in the number of people looking for a self build garden room option, and whilst there are several kit options available we know there are a group of you looking to build a garden room from scratch, as your very own Grand Design project! So, after months of research we have put together a self build guide which will walk you through each stage of the building process.

[box type=”info”]The guide is not quite ready for release, but you can register your interest below and be the first to know when it is launched and receive a subscribers discount![/box]

The Self Build Garden Room Guide will feature:

Tips of the trade

The guide walks you through each stage of the building process, and lets you in on some of the tricks of the trade along the way.

Designed to last

We have always had a belt and braces approach to garden room design, and by following this guide you will end up with a quality garden room that will last for decades. This design is by no means a shed, rather a one room house.

Planning friendly

This garden room has been designed to be less than 2.5m high so it will fall within Permitted Development rules.

Lots of choice

You have lots of choice throughout the guide to personalise the room, from cladding options to door and window styles to internal finishes.

Money saving too

Saving money shouldn’t be your main aim of a self build project like this, but its a nice bonus! The Self Build Garden Room Guide is fully costed so you can see how much different options will cost, and how different specification choices will effect your budget.

Standard components

We have designed this building using standard size components which can easily be brought from High Street names or from online suppliers, this means you are not paying, or waiting for bespoke components to be made.

Materials and techniques used by the experts

The building described in this guide uses the same materials and building techniques that many of the leading garden room suppliers use.

Popular design

Contemporary cube style buildings are very popular, and so we have chosen this style of building for our first self build guide.

The Self Build Garden Room Guide will launch in a few weeks time, be the first to hear about it and to receive a subscribers discount, sign up below:
