Garden Room - Part 6 - Floor joists

Join me on my journey, building a garden room, cabin, man cave, glorified shed, whatever you wish to call it.
I'll be building from scratch, after years watching others on youtube with envy.

Good job! Looking forward to the progress. I am planning on something similar for my garden.

Thank you. Good luck with your build

If possible I would add more pads for the joists to sit on as the floor could be springy in the centre

@@irvine40 you're 100% right. My original plan was to have pads running along the centre.
I will take your advice and figure out another way to support them underneath.
Next video should be putting insulation, so you'll see what I come up with then.
Thank you 👍

So I took your advice with regards to the joists that were effectively spanning 3.5m without support in the middle. I was too far in to rip up the fabric and dig more holes for the concrete pads so I ended up using some 5x2 cut offs as stilts, resting on the fabric and screwed into the joists. If you're eagle eyed you'll see what I mean in the next video, although I don't really focus on them. thanks.

@@grim-upnorth​​⁠that’s great you were able to add extra support at this stage. I am sure it will turn out fantastic when finished
