Hi there! Came across your video last night stayed up to watch all 11 episodes! It was incredibly generous of you to do this and your replies to comments. Not a builder but I feel I can give clear instructions (orders!) now😂Thanks again
The UK should export carpenters in Southeast Asia. Beautiful men to build tiny houses. Better than exporting useless ESL teachers. Amazing skill and very clear instructions.
I'm late to this party but just building my own room now so watching your video's repeatedly. The little details you show that others don't make these so useful, how to work out height for permitted development, angles of roof etc, I've watched your video on making a step 2 or 3 times, you're one of the few that took the time with that step. Thanks for the content, it really is taking a lot of the stress out of this process.
Really great info! Very generous of you to spend so much time and effort sharing your process :) Lots of good hints and tips, well explained and fun to watch. Well done!
1:24:40 how would you prevent water getting in above the "Secret'" door? I know the gap is minimal but still rain in the UK, does go sideways sometimes.
Great work. But, just one observation. When running data cables, you should have a 100mm gap between data cables and the mains cable. Running them that close will introduce induction from the AC into the Cat5 or Cat6. This can cause packet loss and issues.
Great video! Was looking for guidance on laying the rubber roof, I bet that's more difficult than you made it look! Nice job, hopefully the owner is very happy with it.
You’re squaring that large wall based on that one sheet. A more precise way is to measure diagonally across the length on the wall. A large X. If both lengths are the same then you’re square. That’s what framing crews do. Thanks for sharing, cool project.
Great build and great content. May I suggest making the next build into a daily series, drop each day when its been edited, much shorter videos and can follow progress as it happens. Keep at it 💪🏻😎💪🏻
Yeah but if you’re keeping under a 2.5 height for PD then you gain an extra 70mm at the front of the building which to a lot of customers is imperative. 👍
@@creategardenroomsyour height would be your height so using firrings u will have the same height as if u put rafters at an angle also with using firrings no need to mess around with ceiling as it will be level
@@hewoguys2506 No it won’t. You gain an extra 70mm internal height by putting the rafters at an angle. There’s no extra work building them at an angle, if anything it’s extra work making firring strips.
Great video thus far! Question about the roof frame structure: I see there are cross brace pieces perpendicular to the long timber (with the upside down braces), how did you secure those smaller pieces to each of the longer boards? Thanks for the video! 39:04
Some good advice, nice video a little long if I'm honest.. a Great tip for you, put your tool belt to good use save yourself hours of time running around picking stuff up
Thank you so much for your video. This is the most informative video i have ever seen on building a garden house. I have subribed and will revisit your chanel tomorrow for more videos hopefully like this as its past my bed time. ( i watched the whole video in one go as i entered my bed...too good to stop watching)
Great video thanks. Will be building one of these next summer and you’ve answered many of my questions clearly and simply. I’ve liked and subscribed and look forward to seeing more projects like this. Well done.
That’s great Peter I bet you’re looking forward to it! We’ve got another full build video coming up in the next week or so. Thank you for subscribing really appreciate that 🙌
Very nice job helped me with some things I didn't think about. . Just about to start my own Garden office build with cedar and never thought about using corrugated panels for the side and back that is tight up against a wall and out of sight. Might look into this as will massively reduce the price and won't make any difference to the look.
Right... so.... I watched this yesterday with a cup of tea. Great video! Very informative. Next one you do, i would LOVE to see you explain the CONCRETE SLAB process too.
Great video and can I just say that you do amazing work. I wish you were in California - I'd hire you! :-) I love seeing the process from start to finish. Bravo
48:08 Not knocking your work but will that definitely work flipping the DPM up and securing to the walls and putting the membrane over it? In my mind if any water got through the membrane it would catch in the DPM and rot the walls? I hope I'm wrong just curious.
Great video guys. Would you consider such a room on existing decking? Bought my house 15months ago, the previous owner had a large decked area fitted be a shame to remove it
Armoured cable doesn’t need conduit to run down a fence but you’d have to call your local building control if you’re having to build a room to regs as I’m not entirely sure on that👍
@@colinhamilton9714 sorry Colin I read that the wrong way! It’s been a long day 🤣 I don’t see why it wouldn’t as it’s nowhere near the battens that get screwed into for the cladding. Electricians are happy to sign off like this so I’m assuming it would be fine.
@@creategardenrooms Did your electrician sign this off? You are not allowed to fix cabling to a fence as stated in wiring regs. I know some people view it as “ok” but it’s not legal so would of thought you would be concerned to offer this solution to a customer?
1st class job mate! Do you have a list of the materials used at all? not so much a bill of materials down to quantities required as, but more just a yeh used OSB of X thickness for ceiling and x for floor kinda thing. planning on a 11 x 14 ft single pitch build myself with the door on gable end into the 8 x 11 area, and 2 little 5.5 x 6 foot office pods with sliding doors internal.
Really brilliant video! I'm a kitchen fitter planning a garden workshop and your insights into the structural aspects were really interesting, not to mention the superb quality of the finished building. I would hope this serves as a great advertisement for your business.
Hey, as others have said, what a great video! I'm trying to plan a DIY build and this is some of the best content I've found. Looking forward to watching more of your vids. A couple of questions: 1) Is it beneficial to install a vapour barrier over the insulation if using PIR? Some videos say yes, it looks like you didn't in this case. What is the risk of not having a vapour barrier? 2) I'd heard that it is important to leave space above the roof insulation for ventilation (50mm between the OSB and PIR). I think in this you instead push the PIR right up against the OSB, can you comment on the options and the pros and cons here? 3) Was the slab you used here reinforced? is there a rule of thumb for how big the slab can go before you need to reinforce? (for context, I'd be building in South London, presumably onto London clay) Again, thanks for the great video!
I am going to build my own workshop shortly amd this video has given me great inspiration, but i have 2 questions, first one was there a reason you didn't put noggins In the wall panels? And secondly maybe it would have looked nicer to mitre the edges of the cedar trim round the face of the aluminium doors, but that's just my opinion and I'm sure you had a reason for it. Fantastic video though thank you
@@creategardenrooms I did know about this technology, we use steel, ceramics, felt where I live (Poland), but I found also the rubber, seems a bit niche here
This is an amazing video, thank you, its a great inspiration for my project. I was wondering if you could give some advice? I am planning to do a 7 meter long by 2.5 meter wide garden room. Would you stil go with 1 wall gor the back or should I add more strenght to the midle? Also what type of timber should I use, 6 x 2 or 8 x 2s? Many thanks
Is it important to use treated timber for the walls? I know the bottom plate in contant with concrete needs to be but can the rest be normal cls or sawn timber? Thanks
Just discovered your videos; fantastic and very clear. A question about the first fix cabling part. The way you fit them beneath the cladding rather than in the main structure of the walls makes a lot of sense, especially in terms of not compromising the insulation / having to drill holes in stud work etc. I haven't seen it done elsewhere in the same way and was just checking that it meets building regs etc? Many thanks.
Thanks very much!! It’s a much easier way yes! Unsure if it would pass regs to be honest but I don’t see why not. It passes all the electrical safety regs so that’s good enough for us 👍
Awesome video. I’m just starting research and planning for my garden room and this is so helpful. I was wondering about the cold roof - don’t you need to leave an air gap above the insulation? I like what you’ve done here as it leaves max headroom, but I’ve seen other roofs that are taller because of the air gap. Thanks.
Pushing the PIR up to the OSB won’t stop moisture getting in behind it. Really the PIR should be flush with the studwork and then foil taped. You then put an air vapour control barrier over everything and seal all the joints and that’s how you stop condensation.
Amateur self-builder here. Question regarding DPM under your Celotex/OSB floor. When you "anchor" the floor to the concrete by drilling down through, does the holes you put in the DPM not defeat the point of having the DPM down? Cheers...Taking lots of inspiration from your videos so thank you.
Watch my other videos of flooring, we don't drill through anymore we use a floating system. Damp wouldn't get through due to the slab having a DPM down first before we do the poor of concrete 👍
Hi mate was it 18mm OSB you used for the walls? I am going to be building this in my garden. Really appreciate the detailed build very helpful to follow!
Looks brilliant that mate I'm going go give this a go myself how much roughly give or take a 1000 am I talking including the bifold door mate. Just materials as I'm doing the work myself 😅🤞
2.5m Bi-Folds are around £2800inc Vat Tom the rest can all be found from getting prices at local Builder Merchants ect. Make sure to give Avenir Roofing a call if you're doing a rubber roof 👍
How close can you build to the fence and still get your metal roofing sheet on? I'm trying to understand how big i can build my garden room - fence to fence is 4.6m.
Looks great 👍 Is there a way to remove the belly on the corner angle of metal sheet without pinning more fixings into it?😂 Has me over everytime! I do decide to plant a lot more fixings in . Maybe an extra trim to cover the gaps? Also the top of the metal sheets, should cladding be placed at the soffits for water/bugs getting inside? Thanks
It’s hard but just takes time to get it straight! As for soffits we put timber up there but it’s nice to leave a little 2mm gap for airflow, doubt anything would get in there
Hi buddy... love your videos.... I like the very basic and simple way you explain things... Can I just ask a few questions please as im also building on a concrete slab... but its insulated underneath concrete with 100mm PIR. 1. As I already have the 100mm PIR insulation underneath the concrete slab (8 inches) EG: DPM - 100mm PIR - Green Vapour Barrier - 8" concrete.... would it still be necessary to put PIR ontop of the concrete or could I just - DPM over the concrete - DPC on the edges - then build ontop and gain the extra 100mm head height? 2. Is it ok to use DPM between the timber and concrete or is it best to use DPC like you do in the video? Thanks again.
Thanks mate appreciate that. No need to insulate Ray its all good just how it is. Chuck a layer of DPM then just OSB straight onto of that 18mm T&G will do. DPM is fine under the timber but probs easier to just go and buy a roll they're only £20 or so 👍
We started the Cedar from the left of the building and worked our way down. It lands wherever it lands so you just have to wait till you get to the door to see what margins you've got to play with. We were quite lucky with this one as if you look closely the first length of Cedar that is on the door frame only has about 20mm left where we cut it out. Hope this helps. Cheers
11mm is fine if that’s what the customer requests. Joists at 400mm it’s not going anywhere. As for DPM it’s just a second precaution against damp. A few holes won’t make a difference will it, it’s not going to be water tight it’s just to prevent damp, not like it’s a paddling pool 🤣🤣
@@creategardenrooms I doubt the customer would have had any clue about the 11mm on the roof. And the probably didnt specify it either. Kind of funny that you skimmed over that point and didnt mention it in the Video. Other than the crappy light weight B&Q / garden centre type rubbish, budget sheds, I've never (in 35 years) seen 11mm osb used on a roof ! Other than that It looked a very nice building indeed.
Good to see someone using a concrete slab. Lots of others don't, but my preference is a concrete slab for some gym equipment. Any thoughts on using insulated slabs, with the insulation under the concrete?
Nice and solid 👍 As for insulating concrete I can’t comment on the benefits or even the best way to do it as I haven’t done it before. I’m guessing the reason you’re thinking of that is to gain more head height? If so, perhaps digging down could help with that. I’ve done a room before where I’ve dug down 4ft and then built from there 👍
@@creategardenrooms Part of it is internal head height (allowing for 6ft person on a treadmill), whilst trying to keep within the 2.4m lengths of timber on the walls. My understanding of it is that insulation under the slab allows the slab to heat and store heat as a slower/lower and more efficient way, compared to over slab insulation, which is faster to heat the room, but also loses heat faster. Depends on how often the room is used as to which is better. There's something about burying the insulation under the weight of the building that doesn't feel right to me though! Thanks for the videos, really useful 👍
Hi, roof is supposed to be slanted, this allows more head high at the front of the building (internally) furring strips would be more work and then you’d have a 70mm lower overall internal height 👍
This was brilliant. I’ll tell you what was so good about it, too, and that was the fact that you only showed the steps. You didn’t show the process. Too many of these videos have a bunch of filler showing measuring and cutting, and it pads things out to the point where you don’t remember any of the actual steps.

How close to the boundry can you build, I've heard it has to be 1 meter away, is that true for this type of build and size?
How close can you build to the fence and still get your metal roofing sheet on? I'm trying to understand how big i can build my garden room - fence to fence is 4.6m.
Great job and brilliant garden room. How much does it cost to build this size of garden room?
@creategardenrooms Do the walls need to be constructed of treated timber if sitting on concrete when sitting on the DPC?
You can buy whatever timber you like bud! Don’t think there’s much cost difference in it 👍
Excellent build & looks great
Does it have to be a concrete base?
Very nice . Can aske How much does such a room cost please now?
Looks great 👍
Is there a way to remove the belly on the corner angle of metal sheet without pinning more fixings into it?😂
Has me over everytime!
I do decide to plant a lot more fixings in . Maybe an extra trim to cover the gaps?
Also the top of the metal sheets, should cladding be placed at the soffits for water/bugs getting inside?
Thanks
It’s hard but just takes time to get it straight!
As for soffits we put timber up there but it’s nice to leave a little 2mm gap for airflow, doubt anything would get in there
Hi buddy... love your videos.... I like the very basic and simple way you explain things... Can I just ask a few questions please as im also building on a concrete slab... but its insulated underneath concrete with 100mm PIR.
1. As I already have the 100mm PIR insulation underneath the concrete slab (8 inches) EG: DPM - 100mm PIR - Green Vapour Barrier - 8" concrete.... would it still be necessary to put PIR ontop of the concrete or could I just - DPM over the concrete - DPC on the edges - then build ontop and gain the extra 100mm head height?
2. Is it ok to use DPM between the timber and concrete or is it best to use DPC like you do in the video?
Thanks again.
Thanks mate appreciate that. No need to insulate Ray its all good just how it is. Chuck a layer of DPM then just OSB straight onto of that 18mm T&G will do. DPM is fine under the timber but probs easier to just go and buy a roll they're only £20 or so 👍
@@creategardenrooms Thanks James for the fast response.... Legend :)
Would the tree be a problem in the future with the roots etc?!
Thanks for sharing
The cedar on the hidden door, how did you ensure joins and gaps line up perfectly? Did you fix the cedar, then cut around the door?
We started the Cedar from the left of the building and worked our way down. It lands wherever it lands so you just have to wait till you get to the door to see what margins you've got to play with. We were quite lucky with this one as if you look closely the first length of Cedar that is on the door frame only has about 20mm left where we cut it out. Hope this helps. Cheers

Makes sense, thanks 👍
Why did you use 11mm osb on the roof and not 18 mm or thicker ? And why put a DPM under the PIR then drive screw through both??
11mm is fine if that’s what the customer requests. Joists at 400mm it’s not going anywhere.
As for DPM it’s just a second precaution against damp. A few holes won’t make a difference will it, it’s not going to be water tight it’s just to prevent damp, not like it’s a paddling pool 🤣🤣
@@creategardenrooms I doubt the customer would have had any clue about the 11mm on the roof. And the probably didnt specify it either. Kind of funny that you skimmed over that point and didnt mention it in the Video. Other than the crappy light weight B&Q / garden centre type rubbish, budget sheds, I've never (in 35 years) seen 11mm osb used on a roof ! Other than that It looked a very nice building indeed.
Good to see someone using a concrete slab. Lots of others don't, but my preference is a concrete slab for some gym equipment.
Any thoughts on using insulated slabs, with the insulation under the concrete?
Nice and solid 👍 As for insulating concrete I can’t comment on the benefits or even the best way to do it as I haven’t done it before. I’m guessing the reason you’re thinking of that is to gain more head height? If so, perhaps digging down could help with that. I’ve done a room before where I’ve dug down 4ft and then built from there 👍
@@creategardenrooms Part of it is internal head height (allowing for 6ft person on a treadmill), whilst trying to keep within the 2.4m lengths of timber on the walls.
My understanding of it is that insulation under the slab allows the slab to heat and store heat as a slower/lower and more efficient way, compared to over slab insulation, which is faster to heat the room, but also loses heat faster.
Depends on how often the room is used as to which is better.
There's something about burying the insulation under the weight of the building that doesn't feel right to me though!
Thanks for the videos, really useful 👍
Great video! I am interested in what underfloor heating product you used. Also please make a more detailed video of the Electrical installation.
Great video, very informative! Have experienced any issues from not having a air gap between the insulation and the roof OSB?
Hi - what is the underfloor heating system used here ?
Thanks !
It’s from a company called the underfloor heating company. Just matting with a wifi controller/thermostat
Hi I’ve just been watching your video. Why have you made the roof slanted when it should be level? Then cut furrings to sit on top of the level roof.
Hi, roof is supposed to be slanted, this allows more head high at the front of the building (internally) furring strips would be more work and then you’d have a 70mm lower overall internal height 👍
Oakwood garden room springs to mind
Thanks for watching 👍 Any feedback is much appreciated.
