love watching your videos, Your attention to detail is second to none, you build each one like as if you’re building it for your self in your own garden SIMPLY THE BEST 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Outstanding work and videos Liam and team. I'm started the planning of a garden room to house my golf simulator. I'm using your videos to plan each detail. Thanks for your inspiration
You are the best presenter on the tube, don't be tempted into the media though they will ruin you! I haven't a garden Room but I love watching your vids, thank you!
Hi liam. Spotted one of your vans in knottingley this evening. Sadly missed whoever it was to say hi as i was in a bit of a rush but the van was parked next to me in the car park....Would have loved to have said hi and thank you for the videos to whoever was in it but hey ho....love to work a couple of days a week helping out if you get short handed working this way.... Thank you for all the videos and tutorials very enjoyable as always. Keep up the fantastic work. And remember if you're short handed this next couple of weeks id love to work along side you all for the odd day. Thanks again liam and team.
Its worth pointing out that unless there is specific reason for using the shallower timber, either due to site constraints or supply issues, it would be a lot cheaper and less work to use a deeper timber instead.
Great video as always. What is the maximum width I can build to without using flitch beams and is that with or without over hang? Really don't fancy doing those but need good size for a 7x4 pool table and would like a good over hang. Cheers.
Just done a quick Calc out or boredom for you, 2no 47x125 c24 fails in deflection, with the 10x100 flitch it works so as you say the combination should be fine. Again it’s just a garden room so doesn’t need to meet the design criteria as such. Keep up the great videos 👍🏼
@@antonyelliot8636 hi Anthony I am a structural engineer. I can provide a quote for structural calculations to account for the additional loads from a Sedum roof if you like?
Could you use these flitch beams for a floor? I'm gonna build a 4.5mtr wide lean too, on a 3.2mtr wide base, leaving a 1.3 mtre overhang. Was thinking of putting some steel in but I like this method you're using 👌
This is Nuts! , either buy or make a ceiling truss for the span! These guys are making work and spending money like there’s no budget ? This garden room is basically a two car garage .
Can I ask why you prefer to use a steel rectangular beam to create the opening for the bifold doors rather than a flitch beam? I'm hoping to create a 4 m wide opening for bifold doors (in a 5m long wall) and would prefer to use a flitch beam since it'll be less heavy so easier to lift into place and also secure down the pitched room with bird mouth notches into wood rather than steel beam - but I'd really welcome your views on this? many thanks
If you are using brick to build I would advise that you get those Dimensions checked by a structural engineer as I think the size of the opening will be too big for the wall. I believe you will need a minimum of 665mm return on each side of the opening. So with the dimensions you stated of a 4m opening would only leave you 500mm each side. Maybe contact your local building Control Officer at your council as am sure they will provide you with some free advice mate. Good luck on ya build.
Liam videos are really good. The information you give is priceless. Garden rooms look great but probably cost a lot.

Did you end up building the garden room? 2 years on so hope so!
Lovely made my own during the summer for my garden room from your previous video.

These videos are amazing. The fact you are showing your work to the world speaks volumes. Top team. I will be in touch I need a garden office.
Good work Liam, keep it up 👍
Love a flitch beam thanks for the vid Liam.
An other great video buddy . Your workmanship is 100% and you seem to have a great team around you
Keep up the good work
Quality workmanship as usual Liam and the gang that will be 1 strong roof
Keep up the great work

Great vid thanks. 400 spacing again?
the 10mm steel looks coated. What did use?

Hi Cory. How do you do calculations? I’m trying to figure out spec for timbers for a sedum roof but struggling to find any info anywhere

@@corytierney9318 hi Corey, that would be great. what’s your email (not sure how to dm in you tube)
@@antonyelliot8636 hi Anthony trying to leave my email but keeps deleting
for floor or roof?
I'm pretty sure Mikwakee are going to come up with a Liam spec range of tools soon 🤣
made plenty of flitch beams and always painted the steel with red oxide paint

Think you might not understand the 2.5 height limit
Is this your current build? Really want to see how this one turns out
maybe clamp either end and flip it over then you could have drilled the second timber more comfortably from the top
nice
Any got any thoughts on using a flitch beam above the door?
you been hitting the gym mate, lookin good
🙈re joined last month, been once 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@thegardenroomguru Your job is very physical anyway, I'm surprised you need it. 😀
Great video as always very informative . You guys still doing the packs for self build ?
Yes mate

Another fantastic video. Which supplier do you use for the steel plate?
Stansfeld in leeds mate
Running cables will be fun with them flitch beams
Job done today👍🏼 🤪
@@thegardenroomguru keep up the good work mate 👍👌
The best
Very clever indeed, who much did the 10mm steel cost?
Around 450 mate
Never mind beams, drills, hammers, nut and bolts and steel. More importantly What has happened to Jen it’s not the same without her!
Just showed Jen, she says hi 👋🏻
She’s not feeling well atm, but possibly in tomorrow
Well tell Jen that’s made my day! I will say Hi back and I hope she gets well soon.

Where did you get the steel plates from? I wasn’t having any luck finding them at main builders merchants
You’d be best calling your local steel stockist / supplier. They’d offer a range of sizes and would probably be the best value for money too
Search for steel stockholders and fabricators. Ring a few places.
Love the videos Liam. Just wondering why you use flitch beams rather than using a bigger single beam? Is it to keep the thickness of the roof down?
Yes mate, building under 2.5
Cool, thanks a lot. Really appreciate the effort you put into this channel 👍
I sandwich 18mm ply between my double beams
@@jamiecampbell6550 where do you get ply over 8ft long?
holy crap 12:32 nice way to respect the tools
Don’t panic 😱 they’re designed for building sites👌 if they can’t take a bit of abuse, they are not fit for purpose 💪🏻
@@thegardenroomguru i know you guys are professionals. full respect for what you do..
10:38 I think Davey thought the beam was moving you guys and not you guys flexing the beam lol 😂
Superb video as always buddy. Have you got the follow on from this one please Liam, interested due to it being 6m x 4m?
Sadly not mate, it’s been put on ice due to a family matter 😞
@@thegardenroomguru sorry to hear that buddy. Thoughts are with you and the family
If you ever do this yourself at home, get the steel supplier to drill your holes, it cost me hardly anything extra.
What size coach bolts and what drill bit sizing?
10mm mate
Oh my God, Did I chit the bed and get here early or what Guys lol
My roof span is 6meters , I’m trying figure out how to do without bending in the middle
Should try a coil nail gun for the osb. Compressor only 100 quid
been there mate, trailing hoses and freezing problems in winter
What brand pants. Are those
Mascot advance mate
Could you just use double joist on this span ?
I’ve gotta warranty my builds, on my own build? I’d just double them
@@thegardenroomguru Cheers for the reply 👍🏻
Why don’t you use c24 timber?
No need mate, it still won’t be enough over that span tbh
C mon. C mon Quicker Quicker 🤣
Stuff the trolls! dont get drawn in and dont even acknowledge them. My best advice
Hi Liam. Hope your viewers find the following flitch beam tutorial useful: ua-cam.com/video/hy0-zljOcbw/v-deo.html All the best, Robin
Great video only one downside, where is Jen.
She’s not always at work 🙈
Have You got any vacancies?😉
I go straight for glulam.
Eye protection Please!
to me to ...you ..me zips bust how do you do...
You can just use 8x2 lol the take span of 5 meters
But garden rooms have a reduced height under building regs so keep the timber thin for head height
@billdoug your right ✅️ 😆
Great video but I cringe every time he throws an electric tool on the concrete!
Why not just put the two wooden beams together under the metal, and drill them both in one go?
Wood uses a different head to the metal
@@techheck3358 err, yes. You drill the metal first, and then drill both pieces of wood together.
@@-_James_- you can’t see where your metal hole is if it’s hidden :)
@@techheck3358 Why would it be hidden? You put your sheet of metal on top of the two pieces of wood. (As I originally said.)
@@-_James_- then you’d need to drill the hole perfectly square. Which is nigh impossible for a ridge with that many holes
