- There cannot be a more detailed unedited garden room tutorial out there!
Prove me wrong!!
Day5, and, well, its hard work, and really boring now!
When you're used to everyone on site, and then everyones gone, its quiet!
Try to remember, this series is about, 1 man, building a garden room with as little tools as possible with no help.
Ive tried to use what's available and currently I think Im doing ok.
Framing hammers can go F**k them selves!
build pack available @
Build your own with one of my build packs

Fair play for doing all this solo for the viewers. Keep them coming, good videos.
Fantastic videos inspired me to build one .
Well done for going solo. Hard graft, but you give great tips. 👍 sorry about thumb. That throbs like hell...
Great warts and all video as usual. Never thought about holding timber up with offcuts. Priceless tips for the amateur DIY botchers!
I think I may have watched too many of your videos. The other day at work I started by saying "right, what we're gonna do is...".🤣
Keep up the great vids Liam.
Cheers Dan
As a long term subscriber it’s a privilege to say that I still enjoy every video posted, the informative videos, discussions, along with the team and their banter make for a good watch.
Keep up the good work! I look forward to future content and one day building my own high spec garden room (yes I have purchased a build pack) 👍🏻
So glad you didn't hit your finger again. Nice win with the tapered 8x2 on the side of the roof. Drill test made me laugh when it jammed in the hole :) Thanks again!
You have a new follower here...
I've built a few timber buildings and I admire your pile and shoes systems, I usually dig out and concrete a pad.. Making sure osp over sails the sides. Ect. Exactly the same, really only more concrete.... lol id probaby use 2m³ of c35 for that area lol.
But also doing these "alone" and without a nail gun...you account and realise how much you are more efficient with a extra pair of hands and a nail gun. What you have done by your self is impressive, for 5 days and has inspired me to upload content of my own.
I was waiting for you to pull out the string line at 25:09, then you pull it out at 40:00 lol. it's nice to see someone else at work. I've picked up a few useful tips from yourself and I've noticed how efficient you are for a lone wolf. good work mate.
Great to see all the wee tips to help the solo worker work safely on their own.
The daily video is becoming a must see.
Keep up the good work!
Hello Oakwood, thank you and very good work and keep it up and looking forward to see your great work.
Been watching your channel now for over a year and your work is spot on. Going to build one of these in my brothers garden in the summer 👍
Lucky with that tapered timber, nice when it works out like that! 👍😁
Love this warts an all look style videos great work Liam and Davey 👍
In a previous life you could have been John Noakes with that level of demonstration success 🤣
This build is fantastic Liam for your customer and for the home builders Hopefully plenty more to come for us Much better than any TV
Think you and your team do a brilliant job Liam and wot you are doing now is amazing giving your time to help and show others that it can be done to a high standard even with little tools and skill I have been watching your videos since the start and I no wot you do in side out but still watch them all with the same enthusiasm and excitement to see the final out come keep up the great work all the best Kev williams from Wrexham 👍
Another great video looking forward to number 6
Great teacher 👍
If you hit your finger on any impact injury, run cold water over it for at least 10mins if you can, the colder the better, ice cold if you get it. Won't swell up or bruise hardly at all. Great test with the drill bits. Dewalt black impact rated flat wood bits are designed to go through wood with nails in, if you hit a knot hardly slows it down and stays sharp, a treat to work with. All the best, Pete 👍
I think you’ve nailed it, 🤘🤘😉😂😂
Another great episode with more tips. And almost an outtake at the end with the impactor!
5o minutes? Ha, early stack Friday.😄 Really enjoying these, next time you need to do it in the summer...
Great stuff soldiering on with the bruised thumb. I’m watch every video but I’m looking forward to the elec first fix as you’ve never done that in detail. I hope everything is alright at home.
The Smile on your Face, when the 8 by 2 timber worked out, 😸 got the Cream, Top working hacks for 1 man band
If I’d of planned it, I’d of been pleased, the fact it worked out blew my mind
🛑 Stop holding fixing in your mouth, The Acids in your Saliva will react with the Zinc/ Alloy coatings, Causing Teeth Enamel Rot, I worked with a old dry liner, He would hold Plaster board Zinc Ring nails between his 😁 while tacking Ceiling's, Long Story Short it Cost him 💷 7k to fix
Best build information and great tradesman best on you tube by far
Spreader clamps are a great tool when working on your own, they are also great for pulling bowed wood to the level you want👍
Brilliant
Really enjoy watching the builds
Great work 👌👌
Another excellent video - thanks very much.
Pleasure watching as always
Appreciate the time and effort for you to do this solo. Legend ✌️
Fantastic videos well done Liam and team you have given me the knowledge and confidence to get going and build my own
Excellent work again Liam
Keep up the great work
🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Great stuff Liam ,little tip make up a little step up out of timber so you can step up to your aluminium one ,look after your knees more especially when your carrying stuff,
Really great vlogs and love the fact that it's real no bullshit editing just you doing a great job bz Davey on camera
Definitely buying a build pack for the summer… legend! Thank you for the videos
What a F’in legend you are man
Great stuff Liam , little tip make yourself a little timber hop up so you can climb onto you aluminium stepper more easy especially when your carrying stuff, save your knees for your future.
Great series Liam, thanks for taking the time to video 👍👍 I think your throbbing finger is a great example to justify £550 on a Paslode. Cheers buddy 🍺🍺
I'm seeing first fix Paslodes on FB market for £250>. Think I'll invest in one then flog it once done
enjoying watching this series it's a change of pace I don't even need to learn anything it's just good content👌
Perfect on the 8 x 2 going to nothing! Thanks for all the instruction for us solo weekenders, much appreciated! I can't seem to get the invisible lines right though!!! need a bit more on that! Hope the finger gets better soon!
🤣
Drill test made me chuckle
Great content! Love the longer format!
I really enjoy your videos and this series gives lots of tricks and hints that work in the real world. I watched this video whilst on my cross trainer this morning and it was hard keeping up with you at some points, who'd have time-lapse, cracking job.
well done again really enjoying this series
Thought about getting a drone cam to get those awkward viewing angles from the air?
Great build, great job, had me hooked like the best of Netflix!
Great series Liam. Err in doors keeps saying what you watching. I’m like ‘mind your own business’ 🤣
Lol, don’t let her wake up and hear me panting🤦🏻♂️🤣
Thanks… I have waiting for this
Another great video Liam. Good to see ‘Lady Oakwood’ (as Jen is know at my work by the group the watch these videos!) in the last video, but missing John’s patter! How about a wee critique from John on how he thinks you’re doing on the one man build? I’m sure there will be some sarcastic comments in there to keep us going😀
Liam as always a brilliant video. I’m no professional but as a DIYer am certainly looking forward to putting this in to a build at some point
Fair play Liam, love the videos mate! Have been following you guys from the start and love how your channel has grown.. Davey is doing a great job on the camera, production quality has shot up! Thanks guys
an Irish man goes to a building site looking for work, the foreman says theres a very simples test to work here, you just have to be able to tell the difference between a joist and a girder.
that's easy says the Irish man, Joyce wrote Ulysses and Goethe wrote Faust
An old miner told me Long nose pliers for tiny short nails and stapples easier to hold when you have big fingers (bad fingers or not), sounds like a lot of faffying until you do it
Bosch bit 🚀
Quality videos as always! Looking forward to day 6
Liam man up over the finger only joking great series thanks for your time👍👍🍺🍺
Great week of videos mate. Hope that finger gets better, it looks bloody sore!
Brilliant video - thank you. I've watched it a few times now but can't see how you screw down the roof rafters to the steel beam - is it just nailed into the wood facia using upside down joist hangers or do you screw through the the roof beam directly into the steal beam too? Many thanks Jonna
Another great video ! Great work
Great videos Liam always very informative as usual
Damn you! I've gone and hammered my finger just like you
I’m wincing seeing you trying to hold nails with that finger. Been there done that, seriously unpleasant. Great effort Liam
Great work as usual
hi mate i know u sell plans... onlyplans haha i love it! do u have plans for builds that go below ground level? i want to make a garden gym and need the height over around 2.4 on the inside! im thinking to digg down mot type 1 sand dpm over sized and concrete slab below ground level then use blue bricks 2 layers high 15cm to come level with the ground and pull the dpm over the brick and onto the then build and back fill with grey white stones around the slab and bricks so rain water will drain to soil but this sound good on paper but im not sure how it will hold up over time......
hi
kinda like a French drain, you would be better digging a perimeter around the build so you had nothing touching the sides as ideally and cladding would want to be 150mm above any ground level, not always possible, but ideal.
It's more work, but you're digging down anyway, so might as well do this.
you'll need to watch for additional surface water build up too as you've now dug down.
The can the perimeter around be back filled in anyway? As I'm doing it without planning permission so I need ground level to be level at the bottom to keep under the 2.5m from what I understand! I want to take on the job but it seems very daunting to do below ground build
Just looked up French drain I understand what u mean now, and yes the water build up could be very bad, I've been watching your newest videos in the back yard and the trenches u have dug for footings filled so much this is something I would want to avoid
Do you cut a shallow birdsmouth in the rafters?
Instant relief for bruised blood und er finger nail: heat a straightened paperclip until red hot, very quickly pierce nail; blood will squirt out, instant relief.
Excellent one m an build
Here we go .... Day 5 video. That's me entertained for the next hour. Fingers crossed you dont start bleeding everywhere after your "operation" lol
🤣
Your videos are so good - Thanks! Do you cut the end of the rafter vertical to the ground or leave it square? If you leave it square, the facia will be at a slight angle matching the slope of the roof. If you cut it vertical to the ground, you would also need to cut the side beams and trim at an angle. Choices choices!
Would it be easier to make ladder frame on ground then attach to building for the sides?
Hi Liam, you talk about the Torx screws on this video being really good.
Could you tell me which one they are? (just can't believe how many different type and finish of screws there is available...+ the price can be dramatically different)
Thanks! And Thanks for doing all these amazing videos, especially this solo build series (just bought a build pack last month so starting slowly).
Building a very similar thing and been using your vids for tips. I'm building mine out of 4x1 though and I put 2x2 underneath to extend it to 6x1 for the fascia, just ordered some 150mm fascia but now thinking I probably should have made it 8x1 around like you did and went for a larger fascia
You should have brought a build pack, everything you need to order is in them and a step by step guide to build the strongest most efficent and long lasting timber building you ever could.
Did you run out of 1st fix gas?, only kidding, not seen the end yet but what do you prefer for a finish on the roof, glass or rubber?
Another great tutorial mate, Can i ask, when you talk about the 2.5 max height, is that measured from ground level, Bottom of floor joists, or top of build floor level, Cheers
2.5 is taken from the highest point of land adjacent to the build, I think in day 8 , I measure it and talk about it mate
It's a long road, it will soon be over and you can have a rest haha
Hi Liam. Another quick one. When you first put the roof joists up how do you initially fix/secure them before you get the joist hangers on and noggins in etc
initially with a few screws, but always fully fixed with nails after
You're unbelievable🎶
Nice 👍
mate kudos too ya best channel on youtube
if anyone has an afternoon to kill - try playing the Davey drinking game - every time Liam says Davey - you drink...
Liam couple of questions, what's the reason for not using furring strips and do you not nog walls as insulation will stop any movement in studs. apologies if this has already been answered.
Hi Liam, I am an electrician up here in Central Scotland, I would also recommend the bosh expert spade bits, I use them all the time, for drilling joists and Timber and plasterboard. What I would say is if your using a powerful drill like Milwaukee, be careful as if the bit suddenly stops the kick back can hurt the wrist. Or if your drilling an upright timber in a partition, it can hurt the knuckles 😂😂😂
I boycott German products at the moment as they are treating their citizens with oppression still
Hi fella .. been binge watching all you're videos gaining knowledge and confidence to do my own build, my question is my build is 6m x 5m but you're build packs don't cater for that size, how do I get a build pack for the size I'm building..
Also respect to Cameraman davey who does a great job with camera, no wobble or shaking .. 👏
Hi
I don’t go over 3.5 deep in the packs mate because that would require steel in the roof to keep under the 2.5 height and that’s a whole different ball game. 👍🏼
Hi Liam great videos ,do the bolts come with mushrooms for safety as could see a real hazard in the first video cheers
we have them mate, but generally forget, the nut sat on the top will be enough to stop it going in your eye,
I bought the 4m x 3.5m build pack and according to the roof construction instructions, I need to double up the 5x2 C16 timbers. However, it's not the case in your video so not sure if I should or not. Would be grateful for some advice. Thank you.
Hi
Anything over 3mtrs we always double up mate, pack is correct 👍🏼
Noted and thank you for prompt response.
I know the purpose of this series is to show method for one person fit but it is always nice to see the finished product. You should have used No Nails instead of a hammer !!
Sorry, this makes no sense to me
Am I missing something
@@thegardenroomguru used no nails glue instead of smashing your finger
Am I right in saying you have an angled or pitched ceiling on inside. If I was doing a warm roof as no height restriction in Ireland would it be case of just an oversized fascia board to modify your buid pack ?
Love the invisible line. Absolutely loving the series. Not ready for a build pack but if there was a membership then would love to help support the channel
If I wanted to modify your build pack by creating a 4m deep room, would that still be achievable with the same roof construction? I guess the pitch of the roof will be shallower, but would the joist need to be thinker too - and if so, that would raise the roof height.
I also wanted to split the space in two (shed/room) so wonder if it would be worth creating the stud wall after the roof has been erected?
Ah, I read another comment below regarding room depth over 3.5 requiring steel in the roof. I was looking to go to 4m, so that's buggered that idea.
maybe the 5x4 build pack could be bastarised to work for my needs.
if we build a 4mttr roof we use flitch beams mate, its not in the pack but there are videos on here about them
@@thegardenroomguru Perfect, ta. Whether I go to these lengths to gain an extra 0.5m depth, I don't know, but at least I have options now. For others - ua-cam.com/video/0StFVm7Or9w/v-deo.html.
Where abouts in the Selby area is this? Near me somewhere. 👍
Do you have to ask the customer's if they mind you filming their build?
Never have mate, the vast majority of our work comes from UA-cam so I guess they are happy with it
GoodVibes
Hi Liam, thanks for these videos, they've given me the confidence to make a start with your build pack.....Quick question.... If you were using a Paslode Nail Gun on this build which one would you use? There seems to be numerous Paslode models! Would you usually use a different one for fixing the roof timbers and any Cedar cladding for example? I just want to make sure I get the right second hand nail gun! Thanks.
Im350+ for all 1st fix, im50f18 for cedar and skirting 👌
Try that new bit in your impact driver
Thanks for these videos - are the piles and rod system you use suitable for a drop of 20-30cm across the length of the room?
Most definitely mate
Did you secure the roof timer after spacing them by just screwing underneath?
No mate, it’s fully nailed
Hi, can I ask how you would join 5x2 timbers if building a 7.2m front? I see most of yours fall within the max timber lengths like 4.8m
Thanks
HAVE YOU EVER PUT A WINDOW/UPSTAND IN ROOF..... THANKS VIDEOS ARE BRILLIANT
Sadly not as of yet, but the minute I do, it’ll be downloading
Where do we send freebies for you to?
Bosch bit was definitely quicker 😂
Do you use a steel beam for single and double doors too?
Paul
No mate, double joist will be fine for some single door, ok for double if on a side wall, but if roof load wall(front or back) then steel on the double
