This is my Man Cave that I built back in 2016. I only put the video on here as a way of preserving all my footage but it seems to have got more attention than I expected.
To answer some of the regular questions I get please see below
I built it myself with no previous building experience, just some great advice from a builder friend
It cost approx £5k in materials, £1800 of which was for the doors
It was built under UK permitted development guidelines so I did not need planning but we checked with the local council and I recommend you do too
It is 5m by 3m and 2.5m high
Feel free to ask any other questions 😊
Refreshing to see a garden room clad in brickwork for a change
It is but I bet that isn't a cheap way to do it!
@@srspower get what you pay for no point in scrimping
Really nice simple video. No music, just a few minutes to enjoy watching a wonderful project.
Thank you. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed
Really impressed with the end result and your commitment. Well done.
William Currie thanks so much. I’d never laid a brick in my life but was determined to see this through. Well worth it as we use it everyday.
Absolutely superb mate, credit to you. I’m in the process of looking into doing this and the content has been really useful 👍
The Chief, Cheers, good luck with yours

Hi mate,
What are the dimensions of the building, I've got a fair size plot to build something , not sure whether to block build or wood yet.
Cheers Paul
GREAT JOB ,WELL DONE
Love the design
Thank you! Cheers
Great job man
Cheers!
Lovely build. Inspiring me to consider block built man cave instead of timber. But I've tried laying blocks and it's really not for me.
Great job, hope your enjoying the space.
You guys, that's a proper tidy site!!! :)
Number one rule from my wife…….”DON’T WRECK THE GARDEN!!!!” 😂
Would of definitely insulated it with 35mm Kingspan and put an 18” tray from top course of blocks with weep vents, and used steel in the base
You’re probably right but it was an absolute novice project and 7 years later is still good as new 😊. Hopefully your comments will help someone else though
Concrete straight onto soil?
Really enjoyed the hard work you put into this build…definitely amazed!
Thank you for sharing as now I see this is a direction that favors my own goals for a similar build.
Hoping to get a plan drawn up and if necessary due to code, professionals involved in the process.
I admit that I am curious as to the heating and cooling systems you’ve chose or have used.
Where I’m located, winters aren’t an issue, but summers are hot and humid.
Honestly a simple small a/c unit would be plenty…split unit likely overkill for the size.
Plenty of options for heating.
A job well done!
How deep down you went for the concrete foundation
Very cool. Looks awesome
It looks amazing.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I want to build something similar but with outdoor loo fantastic video of this build to.
spunkmonkey5000 Thanks, I keep joking to my wife that I’m going to take down the shed next to it and build a loo extension. She’ll probably tell me to move in there if I do! 😁
No dpm between concrete and soil
Thanks
A very good advice to me
Thanks again 🎉
That's it, I've got the bug, i want one too...
no ballast and rebar required for this project? I'm trying to do a similar shed but 30m2 instead. Do you think this type of concrete will be fine for me?
Hi. No, here the the UK there was no requirement for ballast or rebar for this size build. Especially as it is only single story and not intended for residential use. I’m not a builder but I would imagine the same would be fine for your build so long as you only intend it to be single story also. Best check with an expert in your area if you are unsure. Good luck with your build
Good job
Thanks 👍🏼
i noticed you built the back out of concretes on the external. was this because its not going to be seen ? doesnt concrete block need to be rendered or cladded
Yes that’s right. We just built concrete block up to the fence line and then brick above where you could actually see it over the fence. Haven’t had any problems with not rendering the block. It’s tight up to the fence and there’s guttering above to stop water getting onto it
thanks for the reply. also what size was your cavity and what insulation did you use
@@ke161co the insulation was Celotex 90 which fit our 90mm cavity 👍🏼
Fantastic job, I put down a foundation and built a wooden shed a couple of years ago but I want to upgrade to something like this, I'm a novice myself, did you have to factor in electrics beforehand or is this something that can be addressed once the brick work is finished? Really great job!
Martin McCrea, thanks so much. It’s been up two years now and can’t imagine what I did without it. Yes needed to consider the electrics beforehand. I ran an armoured cable underground from the house on its own 32 amp fuse and the cave has its own fuse board. Also had to think about drainage for the guttering. Go for it. Good luck 👍🏼
Appreciate Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (google it)? It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate finally got astronomical results with it.
Well impressed with the build mate.congrats
I am looking to have one built my self in the east Midlands within permitted development
I heard you can have one built within 30sqm and 4 meter high
Could you tell me how much I am looking at if I was to do a double skin brick/block pitch roof
Materials/labour
And what are the dimensions of yours?
Thanks
malcolm x thanks for that. I’m in the East Mids too and yes we did it under permitted development. We did just email a plan to the council to check first though. Mine is 5m x 3m and cost approx £5k for materials which included doors at £1800. Labour was all free for me as I did most of it myself with some tips from a builder friend. It was my first ever go at bricklaying! Best of luck with yours
Malcolm you’re only allowed to build it 2.5 metres high under permitted development
@@sharkychopchop8185 hi would u be willing to do this for anyone else in uk
Naz Ali - sorry for the late reply, Mmmmm not sure 🤔. Where abouts in the UK were you thinking?
@@ozzyefc44
Just spoke to planning they said if 2 meter from boundary pitch can be 4 meters 3 meter brick and 1 meter roof
So I am told
Awesome build. Any more than 25sq.m requires building regs I believe.
Brillaint project! How much was it in total? Thanka
Many thanks 🙏🏼. All details are in the description box but it was roughly £5000
Looks fantastic! I'm moving in to a new house in a couple of weeks and will be doing the same. How deep was the base?
Danny Whittingham Hi, the base was about 9 inches deep which was quite excessive but I was using underfloor heating so wanted as much insulation from the ground as possible. Don’t forget when pouring the base to put in a bit of drain pipe or something so you can bring your power supply in. I just cut off the protruding bit of pipe when the concrete was set. Good luck with it 👍🏼
hello. nice build! how high was your dpc course above outside ground level. not sure what i should do
The engineering bricks made it level with the outside surface and the dpc went on top of that single course. Then before the floor insulation I put down a black plastic membrane layer (single piece) which I let curl up the walls and trimmed off later after the final screed went down on top of the underfloor heating. The dpc was probably level with the finished floor level or slightly below. Hope this helps
Very impressed :) I have a feeling my first time won’t go as smooth. Where about do you live?
coanja1209 thanks. We’re in the UK. Good luck with your build 👍🏼. It’ll be worth it
Nice structure should last a while
Unbelievable job man. How much would you say the brick and mortar alone costed you ?
Matt thanks 😊. I’d say about £2k. I was able to do most of the back in blocks as it’s covered by the fence so that saved me a bit.
That is inspirational 👌
Thanks so much. It’s still going strong!
Hi can just ask did put down under floor heating that price? Looks fantastic well done to you. 😊
Ah yes, I was very lucky there. Got a bargain on eBay, went 200 miles to collect it and fitted it myself so only cost around £60!!
Beautiful work! Great video! Thanks for your sharing. I am thinking to remove my old wooden summer house and build a bigger one with bricks (8m x 3.6m). Since the old foundation is only 3" thick, I need to remove it too and make a new foundation. My builder quote me GPB 28,000 to 32,000, depending on the design. I'm struggling!
Yes I imagine that would be around what a builder would charge, hence why I decided to do it myself. It took a year though and a lot of dedication. A builder would have it up in no time in comparison to me.
@@sharkychopchop8185 So your not a brickie? That's a brilliant job. How's it all holding up and what was the most difficult part? Cheers
@@MrCobbsalad Hi, thanks 😊. No I’m not a brickie so it was a steep learning curve. The hardest bit was setting up the corners and I had help with that so I knew I was on track. I just had to fill in then but it took me a good while. Went on to do a matching garden wall so it was a good skill to learn. It’s holding up brilliantly and looks as good now as the day it was finished. We’re 6 years in now
Lovely garden office!
Have you had any issues with damp, and how did you insulate the walls?
Thanks! No we’ve had no issues with damp at all. It feels as warm and dry as a new build house. I used Rockwool foil backed 3” insulation sheets
I'm getting mine made at present by builders, they didn't dig all the floor just around and filled with concrete and mesh (rods), i wonder if it makes it sturdier?
Yes possibly although I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary for a low building like this. Sure either way is fine 😊. Enjoy your new space once it’s built 👍🏼
Hi I really the shed. Excellent job.
Its exactly what I want in my garden. Do you have step by step process you can share to build a shed?
1972spurs hi sorry for the late reply and thanks for the comment. I’m afraid I don’t have a step by step process for you to follow. If you’re a beginner you’ll probably need a bit of guidance like I did and then everything that I did is there in the video
Looks brilliant but did you have to get planning permission cuz it's a brick built structure?
Hayley Davis thanks, I’m really happy with it. No it was within permitted development regulations, although we did double check with the council. I think because it was behind our property, not attached to the house, not to be used as a dwelling and not over a certain height it meant we didn’t need permission. The height was our main issue, hence why the slope on the roof is so shallow. It also can’t take up more than 50% of your garden area or something along those lines.
Nice one! Im considering a brick build room myself instead of timber. How did you find the cost compared to a timber clad room?
To be honest I never really considered a timber one. I looked initially at an ‘off the peg ‘ timber garden room and quickly decided that wasn’t the way for me. Back then you probably could have done timber cheaper but with the way the prices have gone recently I’m not so sure anymore. Think brick is the way to go, especially if you can lay or learn to yourself
How many bricks did you use and how many breeze blocks did you use in total?
Some new builds get striped of permitted development rights, always check you have them before you start.
Did you put much type 1 down and how much concerete did you use in thickness?? Smart build
pete jel, hiya, thanks very much. no I didn’t put any type 1 down and 6 inches of concrete
£5k ????? I want one ☝️
Can you show the plans? If any! I will challenge myself to build one in the backyard. Thanks!
Sorry I didn’t work to plans. Just filled the space I had and went to the height I was allowed to. My mate is a builder so just advised me along the way. Hope you decide to go for it anyway!
wow.
Roughly how many bags of ballast sand did u go through for the foundation concrete. My build will be similar size
Hi, we just had the concrete piped straight in from a mixer truck but from memory it was about 3 cubic meters
Did you require planning permission for this ?
Amazing job by the way!
Hi there, thanks! no I didn’t require planning permission due to its size, location and limited height. I emailed the council first though with my plan just to double check and suggest you do the same just to be sure as it also depends on what percentage of your land you are planning on building on. At least it doesn’t cost anything to check. Yes the walls were cavity built.
Awesome
Is the inside just plasterboard? Or plastered? How thick are the external walls in total?
Hiya. They are tapered edge plaster boards that you fill the joints of and then just paint over. Decided to try them instead of plastering as i get sick of plaster cracking. It’s worked really well so far. The walls are literally just the thickness of a standard brick, a small cavity and a breeze block
@@sharkychopchop8185 what insulation did you use?
@@chloeamber1812 it was 3 inch foil backed boards
cool shed dude that is a nice man cave looks like way more of a work space but great build
Brilliant job really impressive! How much did it cost in total if you dont mind me asking?
Amit Memi, Thanks! I didn’t keep accurate records of the cost but I reckon in the region of £5k. The doors were about £1800 of that
Excellent video. How did you get the rafters flush on the wall plates, and still manage to maintain the slope/pitch?
I have consulted my building mate who advised me at the time as I couldn’t remember what we did. He says that they don’t need to sit flush so long as the wall plate is 4 by 2. So they basically just rest on there not sit flush. I suppose you could cut out an angle to get them to sit flush if you wanted. Hope that helps.
Looks great, just here to pick your brains on the slab please. What's the thickness and is both skins built just off the slab with no steel rebar? Also why have you put the insulation on top of the slab? I only ask because I'm in process of starting. Huge thanks
TheCazwalker The slab thickness is circa 8". I used an engineering brick (1 course) straight off the slab. Then a layer of DPC (damp proof course) followed by the facing brick. It's fairly normal in the UK to put down an insulation layer circa 4" on top of the slab. The pink insulation is the heat reflective boards used for under floor heating which you see goes down later and a scread layer to hold and level. Hope this helps and Happy Building 😃
Not 5' From Property Line. Rain will drain on neighbors property. Dug to close to fence post.
Hi Chuck, in the UK we do not need to be 5 feet from the boundary. There is no rule provided it is kept below a certain height which ours is. It has been built for 5 years now and the neighbours have never had any issues with rain draining onto their garden as there is guttering at the back. With the size of most Uk gardens we have no choice but to build to our boundaries 😊
Very beautiful indeed great 👍
I wonder whether a planning permission is needed in the UK for these as you made it from solid materials ?)
Sammy Sammy hi thanks for the comment. No not for this particular build as it was at the back of the house and small/low enough to come under permitted development. It could only be used a temporary space and not be made habitable. We checked it out with the council first.
Sharkychopchop
Thanks a lot for the reply amazing job well done
Looks really good. I was thinking of doing a 7m x 4m single skin block man cave and was going to put a 6 inch reinforced base to block onto do you think the base would be sufficient enough for it or do you think I need proper footings
mark clarke Hi, thanks for your comment. I think yes the base would be sufficient but if you’re in the UK then I really think you need a double skin and proper footings to include enough insulation. My base was 9 inches deep as I was using underfloor heating and wanted as much insulation there as possible. It’ll stay up but could be really hard to heat in the winter the way you want to do it.
Im looking to do a 5.6m by 3.6m external measurment double skin workshop/ mancave. Could i build of a reinforced concrete slab like you have or would it need the foundations done the lot as it will be heavier than yours 👍🏼
Personally I can’t see why not, it’s not too much bigger than mine. I suppose there are factors that could come into play though and it’s probably safest to check with an actual expert 😊
@@sharkychopchop8185 ok brilliant. Im just thinking it will be cheaper to do it that way. It will be at the bottom of the garden so no chance of 2 storey.
What dimensions is the room inside? What size footing did that take?
Cary Young it was a 3m x 5m footing, 12” depth. Inside measures 2.8 x 4.8m
@@sharkychopchop8185 fair size then. And that was about 5000 you said. I think I'll give it a crack
@@sharkychopchop8185 brilliant build, I hope you enjoy for many years to come. I want to replace my garage with the same build as yours. My garage has a 12 inch footing and 4 inch foundation slab. Do you think it will be strong enough to hold a 5 meters by 6 meters block or brick build. Many thanks, Sharkychopchop.
@@Floofles_ hi, thanks for your comment. Yes I would imagine the foundations you have currently will be fine for this type of build, so long as you only intend for it being single story. I’m not a builder though so would recommend getting advice from an expert, like I did, if you are unsure..All the best with your build
I m planning up 5x6 build. I have no experience of building at all, your video makes me think it’s do able, could you advise please.
Do I need to create 4 sides foundations + concrete and mesh floor? How do I make flat roof?
Hi sorry for the late reply. It’s hard to advise about everything on here and I had a professional giving me advice but you may as well create a solid concrete base about 8” thick (minimum) rather than footings. Standard concrete with stone in shouldn’t require mesh. I wouldn’t recommend a flat roof, slope it if you can for better drainage. You’ll see on the video how we used joists to achieve this. You’ll probably be able to do the labour yourself like I did but I’d recommend getting help with the technicalities of it 😊. Good luck
impress stuff! How long did it roughly take you to do and cost?
TucoZizou92 it probably took me about 6 months but I was only doing it in my spare time and didn’t rush at all. It cost me about £5,000 in total. £1,800 of that was for the doors
nice job, what were the roof tiles and are they ok at that pitch ?? cheers
They are composite slate effect and they have a huge overlap due to the shallow slope. Touch wood we’ve had no problems. Sorry for VERY late reply, I only just saw this question 😬
Nice work! I'm attempting something similar but with a corner window next to the bifold. What lintel did you use if you don't mind me asking? Was it a box lintel. Nice job
Joey J Thanks! It was an inner leaf lintel. All the best with your build
What's the roofing made up of and what was the total budget?
Ryan Rai , hi thanks 😊. The roof was made up of wooden joists, felt membrane, laths, composite slate effect tiles and marine ply fascia. It was insulated between the joists and then boarded. It cost around £5k for everything. Hope that helps.
How much did this cost you
Great job!! What material did you use for the roof?
Thanks 😊. The tiles were composite slate effect
Great job!
One question though. Why not build it all out of brick? I hate concrete blocks.
codprawn just cost really, it’s only the bits you can’t see that are in block and they’re much faster to put up! What I can’t see doesn’t bother me 😊
@@sharkychopchop8185
I just wondered because everyone seems to use block and brick but old houses were all brick.
Yes you did a great job and far better than what most people would use. Wood just doesn't last in our climate!
@@codprawn I did a parking spot project once and started out with the vision of having it being paved and looking nice…similarly, costs and time was a factor that smacked me in the face and I was like…oh, yeah, guess I’ll do it this way.
How much you did you spent?
Hi, details are in the description box but basically around £5,000. That was 7 years ago though so imagine it would be more now
Hi, lovely man cave,how deep was the foundation?
Hi thanks. About 8 inches 👍🏼
Hey, I got someone to build this for me a few days ago (6m by 5m). I got a kitchen and a bathroom installed in it and tiled the whole thing with limestone tiles. I love it allthough all cost me £21k. I was wondering if i could rent this out? One bedroom flats nowadys are costing £600-£900, in my area. Woking Surrey.
if i did rent it out for the low end of £600 than i can break even in about 3 years.
Hi, yes I’m not surprised it cost £21k. That’s quite a bit larger, mines only 5mx3m and has no facilities in it. I’m pretty sure you need full planning permission to include a kitchen and bathroom, especially if it is to be used as a residence. You’d definitely need to check with the council before renting it out as I’m not too sure they’re keen on garden buildings being used in that way. Would be a bonus if you can though! Good luck.
@@sharkychopchop8185 I allready have planning permission for it to be used as a garden room with kitcken and a bathroom, just not sure about the renting part. I am guessing that i can rent it out but I will be ckecking first
@@idontknowwhattonamethis75h82 you wouldn't be allowed, it's illegal... Can I ask what builders you used please and if you're happy with them? Can't find someone reliable in London, too many cowboy builders :(
@@EsoTarek no i did ask for the permission but they ended up telling me that it was not alowed so i just made it a gym. Yes i am happy with my builders even though they are very expensive. They do your job. But they are extremely busy. They told me that they are booked for the rest of the year and even further.
Lovely build, pal. How long did that take you, how many were working on it and overall cost? I'm looking to do a similar build myself.
Thanks mate. It actually took about 6 months but generally it was just myself working on it when I had a bit of spare time. I was a total novice so had some help and advice setting up and finishing off. Plus extra man power to fit the doors. Would fully recommend having a go as opposed to getting a ready made wooden structure. It’s hard work on your own but worth it now
Sorry just realised I’ve replied from my wife’s account!
Wellard83, sorry forgot to say cost was about 5k, about a third of which was for the doors. They were more than I’d bargained for
@@sharkychopchop8185 5k plus you labour?
Ahsan Chaudry, yes £5k without labour but was building for myself so that’s all it cost me
Hey, just wondering. If you were to sell your house than does that garden room count in your floor plan.
No I wouldn’t think so as it not classed as a habitable room. I’m sure it would be a good selling feature for some people though 😊
i am sure it adds at least 10% when selling as some people do need some room in the garden .
I would like to build with bricks as blocks ate harder to work with
How much did it cost?
Hi thanks for your question- all details are in the info box 😊
Awesome job man. Looks amazing. We're gonna give one of these ago ourselves. I'm in construction for over 20 years but have not had much bricklaying experience. Will be a serious challenge. Congrats on your man cave. 👍would you have any tips?
Gary Douglas thanks! Took a few months of my life but well worth it. I hadn’t laid a brick in my life but once someone had shown me how to set up the corners it was ok. I would just say take your time. It’ll probably take you longer than you think if you don’t have bricklaying experience but it’s worth being slow, steady and precise. I would also say price up your doors beforehand as I left a wide opening and then found the doors were going to cost a lot more than I expected! Build it to a high spec in terms of insulation and foundations so it’s not freezing or damp in the winter (I’m in the UK so that’s essential!) and it’ll last a lifetime. Good luck and enjoy it. 👍🏼
Hey there Sharky,
Wanted to ask how much the total project came to in terms of materials and also if you considered a timber build mate?
I'm thinking of building one myself this summer as you have provided the perfect inspiration! Thanks and a great video!! Cheers
Zak Khan, thanks, I’m glad I’ve inspired someone! I looked into just buying a ready made timber building but it was way more than I wanted to spend. I think in the end I just thought brick would last longer and I’ve always fancied learning to brick lay, a handy skill that a friend already had and was willing to teach me. I honestly haven’t calculated the total cost but it was probably more than I budgeted and I would reckon around the £5k mark. The doors were £2k of that though and were much more than I bargained for. Despite that though I think it was worth it to me...now I’ve got a quiet place to work and sneak off to go on the PlayStation!
5k that’s a result ! Good job you inspired me to crack on and get one done . Thanks for the vid
I see there is no reinforcement steel... When will this be necessary?
Hi DcJay85. Where do you mean? There’s a steel above the doors but no other steel reinforcement was required in this build
@@sharkychopchop8185 I was under the impression that you need reinforcement bars and mesh in such a build? Thanks for the response.
DcJay85 No that is not necessary in a UK build of this type. The concrete is actually reinforced with stone but tampered down so you don’t see it on the surface
@@DcJay85 Local codes and design (including use) will have more to do with reinforcement to the structure than anything.
Soil, climate, as well, but typically local codes consider these anyhow. Many others considerations as well.
I personally, don’t have building experience though to be honest, just enjoy watching/talking with others who do.
How did you get WiFi in the garden room
We ran a CAT5e cable under the garden from the router in the house into another wireless router and made that a wireless access point. This router had the benefit of being able to hard wire all my devices into it. I guess we could have used boosters but wanted the best connection we could. Other than that you could use a 5G cellular router.
@@sharkychopchop8185 thank you 👍
Didn’t you need a dpc, also is that roof got enough of a drop for slate?
Will Singh , there was a DPC membrane laid on top of the bottom bricks, you’ll see it on the video if you look closely. Yes the slope is shallow but we used extra long tiles and overlapped them by several inches more than was recommended. There is also a felt membrane below them. They’re not actually real slate, just a cement fibre board. Over a year on everything is holding up perfectly 🤞🏼
I think he was on about dpc under the cement base
There was a dpc added on top of the concrete and under the insulation, see 3.13 mins
i see it ;-) and its a great build ! and I don't mean to be an a-hole but the damp proof course should be under the walls all the ground moisture will want to come up inside your shed and im sure its fine and you may not notice any problem for years if ever (fingers crossed ) but the dpc is supposed to be under the concrete base and walls built on top - still its a lovely job and im not knocking it or you but dpc works right when done right .
Bet whoever has to cut the grass swears a lot when they try and do the thin bit at the back
It’s possibly not too much of an issue.
I rarely have any trouble behind my garage cause not a lot of Sun gets to it.
If I let the vines grow though, like in from the sides, it gets a bit messy though.
Wat size is it?
Details in the info box 😊
No damp proof membrane under the concrete slab? That is a complete no-no.
Margaret Cronin, Hi, thanks for your comment. There’s a DPC on top of the slab and the first rows of engineering brick. A professional builder advised me at all stages and in 4 years we’ve had absolutely no problems with damp. I guess it’s each to their own 😊
i take it your uk location, do i need planning for that ?
Lone Wolf, yes we’re uk. I think it depends on a few factors, such as the percentage of your garden it takes up, the size and the height as well as what you plan to use it for. It’s best just to drop an email to the council telling them what you’re planning and they can give you an indication of whether it needs permission or not. It may still need building regs, again depending on what you plan to use it for.
Nice how much did it cost all in all?
Thanks...About £5,000
@@sharkychopchop8185 thanks for the reply that not too bad you guys did a smashing job. I've drawn up the plan just needed to buy the materials and call an electrician for a quote.
Flying Rider no worries. It was actually more expensive than I thought it was going to be. The doors were a big chunk of the budget....more than I thought at £1800 so you can save quite a lot of money there by going for smaller/cheaper doors if you needed to. Good luck with your build 😊
Fairplay yeh good doors cost an arm and a leg, I managed to save a nice double door with side windows from an old family property that got renovated so yeh bang on win win. How much did the electrician cost you and what did you get installed?
Flying Rider hi sorry for the late reply. I was lucky that a friend is an electrician so he did it cheaply as a favour, can’t remember how much. We had armoured cable installed from the consumer unit/fuse box in the house to the new one in the man cave. A socket ring, lighting ring and a dedicated fuse for the underfloor heating, plus hdmi cable to the back of the room for the projector. Great that you’ve got some doors already, that’ll save you a good bit!
How much does this cost to build?
uscoe it cost about £5000 in materials. £1800 of that was for the doors
Sharkychopchop Wow 🤓, that’s about £3200 without the door. Thank you 🙏 so much! I pray for God’s blessings so I can build mine too 😄👍
gunna have problems with that base.stright on to dirt and 6 inchs nooooooooooooooooo.the rest looks great tho.
There isn’t a significant enough weight for this to be a problem. It was all checked by a professional and 5 years on I’m pleased to say we’ve had no problems at all.
hi
How deep is that foundation?
ollieflp it was 8 inches
Sharkychopchop thanks 👍🏾
Man caves are built for a seshh
Why play that annoying rubbish music ?
