Watch as I build the stud walls for my DIY garden room step by step. The process is actually quite simple and if you follow the steps in this video you can easily build the walls within 1-2 days, even if you are working alone.
The stud walls are constructed with 4x2 pressure treated timber and covered in sheets of OSB3.
In the video I do use a nail gun for fixing the timber. However, you can use a hammer and nails, or screws in your own garden room wall construction.
If you have any questions about the video or need any more details please add your questions in the comments below. - Навчання та стиль
I like your honesty and correcting yourself throughout, it made me smile 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Michael

Also, would anyone like plans? If enough people ask in the comments, I will create detailed garden room plans to follow and build your own.
Great video series. Sorry if I'm missing it, for the door lintel, is it 150mm overhang on each side? And would you need similar lintels for bigger windows(1m x 1m)? The lintel in your window installation video is one 2x4 horizontally. Thanks!
Hi Mike, it was bigger than that, around 275mm each side. The timber I used was 2.4m, so it was just whatever it worked out at.
For the windows I guess it would depend on where they are and how big they are. The reason the door has a linel is due to it supporting the roof joists. Most of the time this wont be the case for windows.
Hi, great video!
Could you confirm the size of the stud joists, 3”x2” or 4”x2”?
Many thanks.
Hi Richard, the Studwork was all 4x2
Hi bud, i’ve been using your video for planning my own garden room. I just wanted to ask on how can you get a slope for the roof as I can see all the walls have the same height(please correct me if I am wrong).. thanks for making some time for replying on my query..all the best…
Hi mate the side walls are sloped. I show how I did it in my dedicated wall video. It’s in the garden room playlist
Thanks for taking time for replying…i will look on it…😊
Please may I ask. How have you determined the gap to leave for the front doors? I have some doors which are 1600 wide. Do I leave a gap just that big, or leave some room either side? Thanks in advance
You want to leave a gap slightly bigger (around 10-15mm). If you make the opening tight you wont be able to adjust the door for plumb, and square.
Just make sure your gap is even when you pack the door, that way it can be covered by cladding externally and plasterboard internally.
Finally, make sure the opening itself is as plumb as possible. This will make fitting your door so much easier.
What brand of tools are you using and would you recommend them?
Most of my power tools are Dewalt and I personally like them, plus they all use the same batteries which is handy. I would definitely recommend the nail gun, as I have owned a paslode in the past and there is no real difference in performance, but the dewalt is cheaper and doesnt need gas.
I'll add a full list of tools I used to the description
You mention each stud is 400mm from the last. I've looked up to buy OSB board and it seems to come in 1220mm width. Assuming each stud is 40mm thickness, the first four studs will be 160mm. Add on three 400mm spaces, and you get 1360mm width. I've noticed when you add the board the edge lines up neatly with the studs. Can you explain how that all works? I'm trying to do a plan and it's doing my nut in!
Yeah the 400 centres are for the internal plasterboard. You just need to rip a little off the OSB
Hi great work.. what thickness osb did you use? Thanks in advance
Hi Sanj, Im pretty sure it was 18mm
@@thediyfix perfect thanks. Lots of inspiration from your videos 🙌🏽
Did you nail or screw the bottom of the side wall to the floor (2mins, 52 secs)
Yes I screwed the walls down to the floor
What do you do to protect it from the weather when you're not working on it?
I didnt do anthing, was lucky with weather during this build. However, even if it had rained the wood is treated, the floor is weatherproof and the structural OSB is also weatherproof to an extent, so a little rain wont do it any harm
What size was the Garden room ?
Roughly 3x4m
