Part 12 of a video series about how to self-build a timber-framed garden room office (aka tiny house) /wood workshop in the UK.
This video covers the Tyvek breathable membrane and the installation of the UPVC windows and doors.
The purpose of this video series is to provide all the information required for viewers to build their own garden room rather than just a montage of the building work. It took me months of research to learn everything in these videos so I hope to save people time and money.
The videos are a mix of theory and footage of the build including all the mistakes I made along the way. I am not a builder or tradesman, just a keen DIY-er with some basic tools. Everyone can do this!
In the longer term, I hope to turn this channel into a community for garden room self-builders and to eventually evolve into a woodworking projects channel- the real purpose of my garden room!
Garden room ideas: workshop, office, games room, cinema room, art studio, music studio, yoga retreat, spare bedroom, annexe, run a home business such as yoga classes or hair salon.

I’ve been looking forward to this. You definitely have saved me hours of painful YouTubing to find all this info. Great vids
watching this has given me the motivation to finally build my studio at the bottom of the garden. thank you
Really enjoyed your series of videos.. Eagerly awaiting next one..
Excellent videos. Just watched 1 to12. Gutted when I couldn’t find part 13. Hopefully more coming soon showing interior build. Keep up the good work.
Coming along nicely & looks amazing. Great job
I am so inspired by your videos, which are inspiration for me, as I am planning such a project in my own garden. Thanks for your time in making these videos, for all the DIY enthusiasts out there.
I take my hat off to you sir. You’re a superhero. These videos are so damn good
Binge watched all of the video's on your build, absolutely awesome detail to every video. Thanks for sharing, that's one cracking build
Excellent video. The whole series has been very useful. Many thanks!
I'm planning my own build next summer, these videos have been an amazing help and source of inspiration. I hope the series carrys on!
This is a great video series. Extremely informative and inspirational. A joy to watch. Thank you
😁
Just about to start a 3 x 3 coner summer house.... Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together.. without it i wouldn't have the confidence to start it :-)
Thanks for this great series! Hoping to embark on my own project soon.
Thank you so much for these videos. Honestly helping a lot in my own planning stage. Mine won’t be as elaborate as yours but definitely a lot of amazingly useful information!
I’ve watched all of your videos now as the first one got me hooked! I’m interested in building a garden room myself so seeing your videos have enlightening me to start planning my own. Very informative and interesting to see how it’s done. Great work!
That's cool to hear. I feel Parts 1-5 are not so good so nice to hear you liked the series from the beginning 👍
Watched these videos about 10 times as I’m starting my build beginning of next year, very informative videos have gave me the confidence to do it on my own
Have you started yet?
Thanks @Al, I will be sending you my videos. Yours instructions are amazing
Another great instalment! Thanks 👍🏻
Planning my home office with my brother-in-law who has all the skills and your videos are brilliant. Thanks for all your work to-date! Mark
If you've watched all the vids, you have the all the skills now too 😀
fab job Ali , hopefullly I'll start my garden room in January.and thank you for sharing this videos which are a great help for all of us.
Nice one Manuel, glad they're proving useful for you!
This series has been an absolute Godsend. I'm just about to start a modest sized workshop as soon the weather hopefully improves, nothing as grand as this but had I not seen your work I would have made many errors on just watching the American videos. Thanks so much for all the time, effort and detail you have put into the build and videos.
Love it! Glad it's helped you and best of luck with your build!
Superb production. You are a natural. Can’t imagine the stress of doing all this by yourself for the first time along with the pressure of documenting everything!!!! And you seem calm as can be. Great job. I’m applying loads of your advice on my build. Thank you.
Ha, the build was the easy bit, loads of fun. Filming, editing and explaining turned out to be the hard part.
Well done. I wish I'd seen these videos 6 months ago. I could have saved days of research. Best videos I've ever seen. You have made up my mind on so many of my decisions it's been a great help.
:) glad they've been of help to you, makes them worth creating.
Absolutely loving your series. I'm in the process of planning mine and you are helping me factor things and materials that I had not previously considered.
Glad the vids are helping Adam 🙂Factor in about 3x as many screws and nails as you first think!
I've not committed to paper as yet only that I'm going to be 12ft X 10ft in size and hoping to have an internal height of about 2.1m at the lowest point as I'm 6ft 4". So looking at your span tables etc that I hadn't even considered before it just helps me now decide on suitable timber sizes rather than totally over or under spec. Hoping to get time over the winter months to build in SketchUp so I can get more accurate sizes, quantity of materials. Do you have a figure for your build and if so are you on, under or over your budget?
Finally! glad to see this instalment come through even though im way off of this stage. my building size wonders quite far into building regs and it has been a shock.... the building regs officer wants to see foundations down 1 METER. As soon as you hit regs... everything applies as if it was a brick house you were building. Even before hearing that I was looking at 3k for my concrete slab alone... Well the area is cleared and ready for the slab as soon as I can get a reliable tradesman in. Thank again :-)
Yikes! Though I do know a guy have one made for £50k and that was half what he was quoted elsewhere so it's all relative
Excellent, thanks for posting!
Hey, just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to record, edit and post this video series.
It has been super helpful and motivating to see your project progress. I think you have a nice balance of real time footage, time-lapse and voice over, providing a clear explanation of what you are doing. The way you record all the small tasks that might seem insignificant is a great help to me also.
My project will most likely commence in summer 2020 now, but I can't wait. Thanks again.
Thanks James. Great feedback-very useful. Very sensible to get everything planned to hit the ground running next year rather than rush it now 👍
Who knows, maybe I’ll have finished the series by then 😉
V
So helpful and clear to understand. Thank you! 🙏
Stumbled on your fantastic channel, I have watched all your episodes, keep up the great work. everything is on point. Thanks for the knowledge, And good luck for the next episodes.
😀
Here in Argentina! framing for the first time. we learned a lot with your videos. I hope to be installing the windows in about two weeks. we will be needing part 13! we are using aluminum windows and here they don't have those flaps either. So we need your tricks! Thanks a lot for your amazing work!!!
Awesome, good to have you! Good luck with the windows, it's not as daunting as you might first think.
Great video! Useful to reference during the garden room project
Great help, loving the videos!
Great serie you are making! Looking forward to the next. Hopefully you will finish this year so I can start building for myself :)
Well I wouldn't wait for me! Get going I reckon!
This is like binge watching on Netflix! I started ep1 yesterday and I’ve just finished this one. I don’t know what to you with my life now, apart from wait for the next episode 😀. Genuinely great work Ali and I don’t mean just the building, the way you’ve put the videos together taking the time to explain the various building methods is just fantastic. This series without a shadow of a doubt will be my turn to guide when I eventually start my project.
Great comment! Really glad you like it. I should probably warn you that it does take me a while to get new videos out so patience is required with this series! Have a check out of the website if you fancy :)
Same here 😂 I’ve got a job interview tomorrow for which I need to prep, and instead I’ve stumbled upon these mini series and can’t stop watching 🤭
Oh Hi there winstable1 and L Wright, is this the right cinema for the latest Ali Dymock documentary? Yep, Ive been sucked in as well. What there is a website! I'm not going to look until Ive finished season 1
What first appears a daunting task, is explained so well, that it is reduced to a clear set of manageable steps. Really well done job Ali, its a pleasure to watch events unfold. Regards Paul
Nail on the head right there Paul. Definitely how I felt before and afterwards I was like yeh, what was the fuss about.
Ali Dymock 😂
Really enjoyed the video Ali, you are doing a great job , hope there is more videos to come when you are ready of course , have a nice day Mate . !!!.
Cheers Brian 🙂Yup, when they're ready-wouldn't want to say when!
Thanks for doing all these vids 👍
Fantastic set of videos Ali which has inspired me to start my own man cave this summer. I’m currently just finished the foundation stage and looking into drainage trenches at the moment. Eagerly waiting for the next video Ali as I think you will have the answers to my drainage questions.
I will! You can email me if you like and I can send you a few pics/answer questions etc
Looking forward to seeing something on drainage myself 🤞🏻
I’m enjoying your videos very much! Very informative! Thanks
Cheers Don
Fantastic - been eagerly awaiting Part 12 and it hasn’t disappointed. Thank you - your series has become my Garden Room bible. Foundations laid and services connected for our 7m x 4m room. Timber arrives for floor and walls this week - but I need you to do an episode on building a sauna in your room! Otherwise I won’t know how to do it! Absolutely great series - thank you so much for producing it and sharing. Very inspirational.
😂Sauna sounds incredible! You'll have to take photos and send them to me. 'Garden room bible' - that's what I should have called my website, darn it ;)
Did you get your sauna done?
Amin Aziz hi hot tub and deck installed - sauna heater and cladding delivered from Finland. About to start build but hampered by lockdown.
Arthur Williams nice! I’m defo looking to put in a sauna. Need to look into buying vs building later
So glad I found this video. Was struggling with the way to do windows and doors, but this really helped. Watching all the American videos makes it confusing with the different types of windows/doors they have there. I'm in the Netherlands. We have the same types as in the UK, by the looks of it. Thanks!
Glad it's helped you Peter
Lovely job so far especially being your first attempt well done
Cheers!
Yes !! Finally !! Haven't waited for ANY thing this eagerly for a long time now. As usual, a very big Thank You for your incredible work Ali, and for your continued help and guidance. Having started my garden room build myself I am totally in awe of your effort and understand it has definitely not been an easy task for you to record and edit these videos on top of the actual build itself. Keep up the great work mate !
PS: I really hope there is a Hell - just so those 4 who disliked this video can have a special place assigned to them.
Hey Preshant, glad it was to your liking- took ages to put together this one!
Meh, the dislikes are a sign of success on youtube (at least that's what I tell myself!)
This series is brilliant - only found it the other day and have watched them all, hoping not too long until the next one!
Cheers Simon, I'm working on it but as you're new, I should probably warn you that I'm slow to upload them! Patience required here!
Wow nice video!👌 🤩
Looking forward to upcoming videos. Hopefully touching on electricity and drainage. Can’t wait for the weather to fair up and get started for the summer. Great work. Good to see a decent diy build from someone with good editing skills 👍🏻
Cheers Jason. Drainage and electrics will be in the next vid. I'm trying to fully understand the latter to explain as best I can
Excellent work
당신 대단합니다. 많은 아이디어를 줘서 탱큐. You did the great job! giving lots of ideas to us. thanks.
🙂 korean? Never thought my videos would be watched there
Yes korean. by the way, wow You really? In fact, Through Utube, I meet friends all over the world everyday. thank you.
Incredibly insightful videos and information, Ali, and a great help to my own plans. Thanks for taking the time for sharing such a detailed run-through of all the steps involved in your own build. The music however...
Haha fair enough. I think about dropping the music but I quite like the montages
I have not binge watched Parts 3-12. No way. No siree Bob
Seriously though. Top job fella
A perfect balance of explaining and practical demonstration imo 👏👏👏👏👏
😊
Really good, Ali - thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure 😊
great vid as always
looks epic 10/10
Top work as always, good job.
Cheers Justin, glad you liked it.
Great videos thanks
Looks great! And that Tyvek tape is worth it!
It's good stuff isn't it! Doesn't feel that sticky, but it is!
good quality and well made
Im loving theys videos pal.. And windows and doors looks great.. Couldn't do a better job myself and i do windows, doors and conservatory.. Great work pal
Wow, thanks! Awesome to hear. It's all a learning process for me!
Awesome Ali! and thanks for going to trouble of organising discount codes dude!!
you did a good job on the windows i seen some so called professionals make a right baaaalls of thing
Love your videos.
Been looking to make something similar for a long time. Great advice very informative. So glad I found your videos.
can't wait for the finished workshop/gym.
good luck and thanks for sharing.
Edit.
My wife and I are going to get someone in to build an extension on the house first, but in the mean time gives me plenty of time to plan my garden room, which will be similar in size to yours. and gives me time for you to complete yours and show off the videos.
You'd have probably got the project completed by now if you hadn't documented everything with videos and editing, so for that we are all very happy, nice of you to do this. Attention to detail on the videos is amazing.
thanks again.
Thanks John, really glad hey've helped!
@@AliDymock Hi Ali!
Wow 2 years ago I posted this message.
I'm still no closer to starting my build on a garden room, I want to build a 6m x 7m one similar to yours but costs are a lot as you know.
I've actually got materials on order and I'm about to build a 3.6m x 2.4m Garden room shed, this will be the test run for the garden room, there is a lot of things I'm leaving out because ultimately its just going to be a decent looking shed. But the reason I message today is, do you still have discount code deal with Rubber4Roofs? I'm timber etc arrives on 27th so ideally want to order the rubber roof by then also.
Thanks again, and thanks for sharing your videos. Your subscribers have grown a lot since these first videos.
John.
thanks fella was really worried about window openings, never knew this tape existed!!!
Great build series, matey. I've just finished my floor build after taking out the awful conifers, and I'm now ready to start the wall framing. It's not as ambitious as your monster at only a modest 4.2m x 3m for a gym/man shed, but your series has given me some fantastic info to help me get on with it in confidence. New subscription here.
Never seen windows that install like these. I actually like them. I have seen countless videos with bad window installs and horrible seals. Not to mention that almost none of them do a complete seal of all the joints and seams where most of your heating and cooling is lost in a structure. Very well done
Thanks Nicole!
Enjoyable video - thanks bud😎
No problem 🙂
Haven't watched the video yet (doing the ironing. . .yawn) but just saw the notification pop up and wanted to say that it's great to see you back. Now back to the ironing and I'll watch and enjoy and learn later :-)
Haha You should have just commented 'first!". Nice to have you back in the comments Maria :)
@@AliDymock ha ha, oh yeah, I should have :-)
Another detailed and super helpful video. Excellent news about the website - It'll be great to see all those other builds too. Congrats on the job :-)
Looking forward to part 13 already.
Nice job Ali
For a Diyer you do a really professional job.
thanks 😊
Good work Ali.
Cheers Matt. Your build was too good not to share!
Great video again - I'm about at the same stage as this video.
Nice, no doubt you'll overtake me!
Great work and attention to detail. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos and detailing the products and websites you used, hopefully they will help with my 16x8 (old school😊) shed that I’m hoping to build in the near future. Many thanks again 😁👍 PS Any thumbs down should have to be explained 🤔
Thanks Mark, I'm glad they're helping. The explanation for thumbs down is: youtube. Though I just tell myself it's the garden room companies annoyed that I'm letting all their secrets out 😂.
great jobs
Just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos! Ive been considering building a man cave and you have explained everything so well. Hope things are okay and I look forward to seeing more.
Hi Terence, thanks for the kind comment. You can see some updates here if you're interested: ua-cam.com/channels/4UDFzeOPhEkPJMuIqoVqTA.htmlcommunity
Good video thank you
Very good
10% discount code for Rubber4Roofs is available now on an ongoing basis. Email hello@alidymock.com and I'll shoot them across to you.
Thanks for all the kind comments!
can you post up discount code for Facia Expert?
Ali Dymock . B,l. But ohvgiÒN
Hi Ali. Have emailed asking for discounts. Is the email here the best one to contact you on?
Dan Price hey Dan I’ve tried emailing you twice but get it bounced back. I’ll try a different email address now
Can I have discount code for both please... Thanks
C’mon Ali, we need part 13!!!
Top work so far
Still doing/filming it I'm afraid! But putting the footage together as I go :)
Ali, Thanks again for the inspiring vids. Few of us will be starting our own out houses due to you so thanks again. Any idea when the next videos out? Would love to see what you did for the exterior walls covering etc.
In truth it will be a while, you know how life is but I'll continue to update the website in the meantime :)
I'm a builder myself for many years now and just stumbled across your vid by accident. There wasn't any real need for me to watch but watch it I did and can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are many vids like this out there but few I would recommend to people; yours however gets a thumbs up from me 👍🏾.
Finally, I usually hate music over the top of vids but even that tune brought a smile to my old chops 😁, made the whole thing more enjoyable.... what's it called?
Wow, always good to get the thumbs up from a professional!
The jaunty tune is Pillow Talk by Jeff Kaale ;)
I've always used skil saw for the window cut outs. so much cleaner and faster.
Do you cut from the inside or outside. If inside, wouldn't you need a pretty big blade and then struggle to get in the corners? If outside how do you know where to cut?
So informative wish you done one with brick/block steels beams etc
Maybe one day. Timber is my favourite material though.
15:40 - attention to detail is impressive.
👍 When it’s your own build, you take the time and effort ;)
Great work mate...;-p
A conscientious and clever bloke. You’d make a good engineer, maybe working on aircraft or something like that. Your work on this is very similar to a loft conversion, though it’s a little more complicated. I can see you’ve done your research. Well executed and well done 👍🏻🇬🇧
Brill. Simply brill! Well researched and coherently presented. Keep it up 👍🏻
L Wright (architect / mathematician by profession & self taught diy & builder by heart 😎)
Thanks so much! Glad you like :)
Eager to see this complete, great series. Are you planning on posting the next chapter any time soon?
Yes! I've done Part 13 but want to release it with Part 14 which I'm doing when I have a chance.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! PT12 😍
Haha. I'm pretty excited to have it done too 🙈
You need a commission link Ali! I've just ordered mine based on your recommendation. Thank you
Well I tried to get a discount code but no luck, but as long as it's helped people that's the main point
9:14 We carpenters would refer to that handsaw you used to "Horn" the cill's as a "Plasterer's saw" because BEFORE they get that bad we hand them over to the plasterer's for cutting their boards! LOL!
I would love to see how the cladding meets the window
Awesome videos Ali I am just doing my garden room and have been looking at a rubber roof will email you regards Dean
yeh, go for it
Fantastic Ali, great inspiration, just going over a couple of videos again before attempt to fit my studwalls on my concrete base. I may be in touch for discount codes, but think i should be should be ok, shall post photos when complete late summer. Keep up the great work! Do you know what cladding you are going to fit?....
Great
Don’t know how I haven’t come across these vids sooner on my UA-cam travels.
I want a garden room for part gym, part tool storage, so I’m planning on one like yours but with a partition wall inside!
What field was your work from home job in? This is something I would love to do one day!
Hi Ali, great videos! Any chance for new updates?
Fantastic series of videos. Watched and studied each one several times in great detail. Quick question about flashing around doors... I have 3.6m wide patio doors going into mine. Flexwrap could prove pretty expensive going around such a large opening, are there any other solutions or suggestions you have, or potential alternatives to flexwrap? Thanks so much once again.
No no, no no! That can't be the last one. I understand you've now got a job (Isnt real life a pain sometimes) and countless others things that take up your time so I understand that this project has to come to a finish. But Ali, it isnt finished yet 😉 At least tell me you've still been documenting the rest of the build, and one day you'll get around to editing and posting the videos? I like your web page, two other projects on there that I found really informative. Maybe one day I will submit my shed build if I decide to build one. Many thanks again for sharing your experiences online. 🥂
haha I'm afraid it is, for now. Work has just taken up a huge amount of time but the good news is yes, the camera has been with me at all stages so plenty more to come. It's my mission to finish this series!
Got your email, will reply when I've gone through unanswered comments 😁
😊
Mounting doors/windows are made very easy if you use inflatable rubber packers as you can adjust the height and also make sure they are plumb.
I've seen them in action and they do look very useful. A good tip for others!
Thanks Ali, I'm finding your videos a huge help (yep, 2 years on!) and whilst my workshop will be a little different from your own your videos are a big help. I'm going for a cold roof (pros and cons I know).
I know it's been some time now but do you still have active discounts available with the mentioned companies? Doing my best to stick to budget (and the other half is chewing my ear on expenditure!)
Thanks again for your videos, Mike 👍🏻
Hi Mike, Yes for Rubber4Roofs, you just have to email me when you want to order: hello@alidymock.com. Actually got a vid out tomorrow on cold roofs for you.
I've not long finished the same sort of thing, but yours if a bit better made than mine timber size wise. I didn't use Tyvek I used RhinoVent from Toolstation, basically the same but cheaper. But great build, nothing like this when I started mine.
No competition here Steve! Well done for completing yours, I'm looking forward to joining you! Rhinovent looks good but for me would have been more expensive due to the height and size of mine - i would have needed 2 x 1.5mx50m to cover mine but very helpful for others to know about. Thanks!
