I installed one for. Customer about 10 years ago, and it still looks good today. Allow a few days to build it and a lot of deciphering poorly worded instructions!!

I know the guy that owns the company, I've cleaned a few and re-oiled them etc, all the home-owners have been happy with their build, service etc.

Currently building one at the moment for an outdoor office/extra room its been a long project as been doing it in spare time and when funds allow.
got a fair bit yet to go next stage is plastering and electrics connected. Still unsure on external cladding at the moment was looking at western red cedar but need to keep costs down a bit. Only pic got at the moment will update with how it stands now

I'm going to be doing exactly the same soon. Not costed mine yet but looking at 3x2 meters with a flat roof.
A ideas on cost, going to be building it myself.

Currently like this will set the slab path properly once final cladding is on so it doesnt end up too close. Grass is annoying was laid less than a year ago its patchy and grows at different rates ( bare areas are from where materials were stored but it has died in random patches all over personally will never use rolawn again for anything

Mines 5m x 3m footprint not too sure on costs will have to dig them out. rough spec is 5x2 floor joists with 18mm tongue and groove boards, 4x2 frame, 6x2 roof joists. 100mm celotex in floor, 150mm celotex in roof, 100mm roll in walls with 25mm polystyrene between plasterboard and vapour barrier. 11mm osb on exterior walls and roof. Did the roof last weekend with edpm. Not sure on costs but easily over 2k so far not including exterior cladding, consumer unit, sparky to connect to house, plastering, flooring and skirting

Do you have a dog?

[rxbren]

nope no just piss poor turf from rolawn it wouldnt be so bad except that i had hundreds of meters off them that year and all were fine except mine. I had 140m2 of turf for my garden and at least 80% had meadow grass its two different shades and on top of that grows at different rates accross the garden. we have stopped using rolawn and have had 500 meters so far from ctn which has been spot on

I was thining something more "off the shelf" kit style rather than build my own to be honest think the mrs would be happier with that to

[rxbren]

Off the shelf would be alot quicker too i went selfbuild due to wanting to put lots of insulation it has been a money pit though not sure what cladding to go for at the moment buts its all plastered and ready for a second coat of paint, flooring electrics finished so will finally be able to set the desk and units out
