I desperately need one. As a Dad of 3 kids that scream at each other night and day, disrupt me in my office room early morning and evening I need a space outside of the home to work. I’m too far from the office to commute every day and can’t afford the train fare/car parking every day. Wish I was a bit more handy in terms of giving this a go myself. May have to pay someone to come build one for me 😂
Craig's a legend , I find myself stumbling across his videos when I've had the missus nagging at me all evening and decide I'm going to go buy a bag of nails and steal some wood and make a man cave at the bottom of the garden out of the way , I usually wake up hungover over the next day with no recollection of my grand plan to go off grid , make sure you subscribe to his personal RUclips channel 😊 everyone , spread the word. If you know this gentlemans work and how pure his soul is you'd be surprised how low his subs are. 😂😂
Well I have seen so many diy she’d videos on RUclips but none come anywhere near as detailed and explained in this way. Thanks Craig awesome looking shed.
Really enjoyed seeing how you built your office. Thank you for your slow step by step build. Will try and do you proud. Cant see it looking anywhere the same. Hahaha.
Ok will do. probably going to be next year, as weather here up in the North in Northumberland, is wetter and cooler now. Not as expected. Will give me time to buy all that I need.
Thanks Muhammad were glad you enjoyed it, it's the longest online video we've produced for Silverline but it's already getting great reviews and giving people options on how to use there gardens in different ways.
Also been watching some of your other silverline videos and they’re great. What type and colour paint did you use? Leaves a really nice finish similar to the anthracite colour double glazing you get nowadays.
This is the first DIY clip I've come across that shows how to build proper domestic structure! Love it. I've always wanted to learn this kinda stuff, but will never get the chance to learn it formally.
@@SilverlineToolsTV I've got a pile of shipping crate and pallet timber from the local lawn mower store... You've given me the inspiration to have a crack at building the cubby house I promised the kids. Just saving for some extra tools 👍
Great build Craig. Very nice concise instructions. Would be very good to see a potting shed or allotment shed build from pallets and other recycled materials. You know, really low cost and keeping stuff out of landfill. Please keep up the very informative tutorials with all your future projects. Great work!
@@MrandMrsDIY Thank you for letting me know what you used. I'm definitely going to give it go. Just so impressed with the finish. Rustic yet sophisticated, the way you have both styled it 😊.
@@virajchauhan6732 has there been a price increase in lumber in the UK? Prices are getting a little better now, but are still higher than a year or two ago.
Huh... This was explained so brilliantly. Well done. What a perfectly presented video. This will be extremely useful I particularly liked that you illustrated your plans before undertaking each stage. Thank you so much. All the best. Cheers Ric.
I completely lost track of time watching this video. You make it look so easy but I know it’s not. My husband is convinced he can build one himself but he has no idea how many tools and how much work space he would need . I might get him to watch your video as a wake up call. Thanks Craig.☘️
May please know the cost to make one? Im thinking to make one, by watching your videos. Wanted to know if it will be worth buying or making my own. Much appreciated
Damn this guy I am 16 now I started woodworking at 12 thanks to him I make money of it trying to start a business this guy actually helped me in my career got me into it I love him thanks bro
Such a fantastic video! Makes me very excited about the now very realistic possibility of building my own outdoor office/studio! Would be ace if someone could come back to me on a few questions I had. I did look through the answers to previous questions, and I couldn't quite see what I was looking for... 1. Roof truss: there appears to be about 200mm between the edge of the roof truss and where the 2x4 internal wall is. Could I ask you how you filled that gap in the final structure, if at all? Or did you otherwise leave that open? 2. Exposed roof truss (internal): I think I could see in the final version, on the inside of the office, that the roof truss' are exposed? Could I just ask if there was a reason for not covering these? 3. Soundproofing: I'd like to mbuild an outdoor office myself, specifically though for woodworking. I'd be keen to install soundproofing for this purpose, and I wanted to ask if you had any thoughts on where the best place was to install soundproofing material?Perhaps between the inside of the cladding and the 2x4 wall structure - or within the 2x4 frame along with the insulation? 4. Finally, with the design you've showcased, are there any limits here in terms of the size of the structure? And if you believe that this is a limit to how big such a structure could be made with your design, are there any ideas for additional supports that would make a bigger structure stronger? Sorry for so many questions!
Thanks William were glad your excited about possibly building your own outdoor office, Feel free to send us any questions you have and we'll try to answer them the best we can. - As for the 200mm gap I'm not use which edge you are referring to sorry. - I left the exposed roof truss to add further insolation and I still have further wiring to do after we finished the build. - As for sound proofing there is so many different materials on the market which require different ways to fit its hard to answer, plus it departs what you require the sound proofing for, IE to stop sound coming in or to hold the sound you make stay inside - The size timbers I used were for the size that I build, if you was wishing to build a bigger unit I'd get some advise of both wall and roof size timbers you'd need before starting. Hope this helps Craig
Great informative vid Craig! However, if you're thinking of a project like this always check whether you need planning permission for the shed before starting; in some circumstances you do!
Great video, however i have an irregular space in my garden on slopping down ground. Getting it level is ok but how do you set up the angles for the post to be tight ? It will be 7ft deep one side 10ft deep on the other with a span of 9ft. Advise very welcome
Thanks Stu, I'm very sorry but its such a difficult question to answer in text! It would take another video or a hand full of drawings to be able to figure that out for you I'm afraid
What a great video, this has led me to think about building a garden office for myself. Any problem is my outside area is sloped concrete, what would be the best way to make my foundation on this sloped surface?
Thanks, You could always make your floor frame flat like I did then cut different size stump legs that can be made from 4x4inch hardwood timber, and fixed to your sloping concrete base, this anchor to the ground and you could level your flat frame across the legs. of course you would see a gap below that slows this could be covered with your T&G claddings
Craig nice work and great result. I was wondering how durable the upvc paint on doors is? I am thinking of painting my door but worried of how long-lasting paint on upvc would be?
Thanks Hazim, our painted have been on for close to two years and they still look fantastic, just a decent paint and apply 3 to 4 thin coats on and they will last you easy 5 years.
Great video. Think it is really helpful. Is there a link available with a full kit list which includes absolutely everything on it down to glue & nails?? How much did this all cost? Lastly, I see a few comments being critical about there being no membrane under the feather boards. I know you have said that the walls will be able to breath but should I consider a membrane just in case or are you confident that damp won’t be an issue?? Any help much appreciated. Thank you
Hi Damien, we will be working on a more details list of materials for costings, however many people build this kind of projects to fit there only space and needs, we spent just over £2k on materials for this size, As for the breathable membranes over the insulation, the I've built this one allowing air flow from the top section of the walls its fine and we haven't experienced any issues, but please do get some advise from the supply that you purchase the insulation from so you can be sure if your structure requires any membranes or not.
Hi Craig. Absolutely brilliant work and great instructions. May I ask what is the material cost or bill of material, and what how much excess material percentage would you recommend when building a shed?
Hi like your work, just wondering don't you need to screw or bolt the main frame to that concrete block?? and how much does it cost to build?? thanks in advance
Thanks, the weight of the structure holds it down well, but we do live in a shelter areas with huge trees all around us so maybe if you're in an open area that affected by the wind then yes by all means bolt it down well. It cost us around tow thousand pound for materials but I did have some old materials left over from other jobs I used so I;d maybe budget around £2,500
I'm curious if like to be able to move the pretty nice garden office around. How many Caster Wheels 3inch Heavy duty fixed, swivel and brake Caster Wheels would I need? Your advice would be much appreciated Regards Tanya
Hi Tanya, such structure could be build on castors however the floor timbers would need to be larger (Thicker ) than the 4x2 we used, The base would also need to be further reinforced with ply wood we we set this floor on around 12 load points, if you were to have a structure this size and weight then you may need it to loaded onto around 6 to 8 large heavy weight wheels that could take a weight load of at least 750KG per wheel
Excellent build, given me lots of tips. Did you use 3x2 for angled part of trusses? Also can you tell me where I can get the U shaped brackets that you used to secure the trusses to the sides please? Thanks.
Thanks John, Yes 3x2 inch timber if fine for a pitched roof this size, the brackets can be purchased though all main builders merchants and some garden centres, or even Tools station and Screwfix should stock them.
Comprehensive build video! One question, does the base frame not need to be fastened to the concrete pad foundations or does it simply rely on the weight of the structure?
Thank you, We didn't fix our base frame to the pad foundations as we were quite sure it won't move due to the weight, However our garden is very well sheltered from the wide due to the high trees around us, if your planning a build that wasn't as sheltered I'd recommend considering fixing the structure down to the foundations.
Great project, but what are the costs and how much do all the tools that you used cost? My guess is that it would be so much that the average beginner DIYer would be better off hiring it out which sort of defeats the purpose, no?
You could build this for around £2k, the tools may cost you around £300 from Silverline, then you can use the tools of many more projects for years to come.
Hi Craig, Great video. I’ve checked the comments and am afraid to ask this as it may seem like a silly question....but how did you get power in to the shed? 👀
Hi, I didn't supply to start with as we can not give electrical advise on our videos, however, I got my electrician to install it when id finished, because of the way I built the base I could get underneath the one side so he drilled a 25mm hole in the floor at one corner then routed a Armoured cable though and connected lights and sockets, You could also ways have your Electrian install the cables first and build around/over the feed.
Great job Craig 👏 It's inspired me to build my own garden building! I can see at the end there's insulation in the roof. Did you just leave this exposed? If not, what's the best way to insulate and cover it from the inside?
Thanks St James, I did leave our roof insulation open as I use it as an edit suit and it helps damped the sound for us, it could be covers with a nice T&G wooden or UPVC ceiling board would both look nice, it maybe wise to cross batten the ceiling and allow a bit of air flow behind the cladding to let the insulation breath
@@MrandMrsDIY Brilliant, thanks Craig. So have an air gap below the insulation and also above it? Or should the insulation touch the inside of the roof?
Thanks, Yes most defiantly, I've built around 8 to 10 of these over the years and always used 50mm brad nail and we've never had any issues, you could also apply some glue on the timber frames before applying the cladding or ply for extra strength, I find when your using a nailer like this you tend to fix far more nails in that's required because its so quick and easy!
Good video Craig. Liked the tiles you used, which brand were they? Also, is there any reason why you didn't use a waterproof membrane between the wall cladding and the insulation?
Great build Craig - well expIained and expertly built. 2 questions: Approximate cost of timber materials? Did you consider installing a water vapour barrier to help prevent condensation?
Second the vapour barrier question - that shiplap stuff can shrink and allow water through pretty easily, especially if it goes up still wet from the timber yard - it then seems to have direct access to the Rockwool. At £50 for a big roll of barrier it would make sense to use it. Happy to hear from Craig otherwise though.
Hi Craig, I am looking to do something similar. Was wondering, since you made it look so simple and a wonderful job on it.. How much would you charge to make me one..?
Thanks Apurva glad you found it wonderful, I'm afraid we can't get the time to do private jobs at the minute as we have so many online videos to produce
Never forget that when this dude won BB he donated the money to a lass for major surgery I'll take advice from a top geezer like that any day.

Hi Tanya, such structure could be build on castors however the floor timbers would need to be larger (Thicker ) than the 4x2 we used, The base would also need to be further reinforced with ply wood we we set this floor on around 12 load points, if you were to have a structure this size and weight then you may need it to loaded onto around 6 to 8 large heavy weight wheels that could take a weight load of at least 750KG per wheel
Excellent build, given me lots of tips. Did you use 3x2 for angled part of trusses? Also can you tell me where I can get the U shaped brackets that you used to secure the trusses to the sides please? Thanks.
Thanks John, Yes 3x2 inch timber if fine for a pitched roof this size, the brackets can be purchased though all main builders merchants and some garden centres, or even Tools station and Screwfix should stock them.
Thanks
How much did it cost? Can you make me one? I am in Wembley.
Comprehensive build video! One question, does the base frame not need to be fastened to the concrete pad foundations or does it simply rely on the weight of the structure?
Thank you, We didn't fix our base frame to the pad foundations as we were quite sure it won't move due to the weight, However our garden is very well sheltered from the wide due to the high trees around us, if your planning a build that wasn't as sheltered I'd recommend considering fixing the structure down to the foundations.
Omg! The Craig is still around! Look at da face!
Avid let me out!
Thank you please
Gonna give this a go craig.cheers from st helens
Great to hear to it, good luck
Good, go for it
Great project, but what are the costs and how much do all the tools that you used cost? My guess is that it would be so much that the average beginner DIYer would be better off hiring it out which sort of defeats the purpose, no?
You could build this for around £2k, the tools may cost you around £300 from Silverline, then you can use the tools of many more projects for years to come.
Hi Craig, Great video. I’ve checked the comments and am afraid to ask this as it may seem like a silly question....but how did you get power in to the shed? 👀
Hi, I didn't supply to start with as we can not give electrical advise on our videos, however, I got my electrician to install it when id finished, because of the way I built the base I could get underneath the one side so he drilled a 25mm hole in the floor at one corner then routed a Armoured cable though and connected lights and sockets, You could also ways have your Electrian install the cables first and build around/over the feed.
@@MrandMrsDIY Thanks for the response!
Awesome
Cheers
Great job Craig 👏 It's inspired me to build my own garden building! I can see at the end there's insulation in the roof. Did you just leave this exposed? If not, what's the best way to insulate and cover it from the inside?
Thanks St James, I did leave our roof insulation open as I use it as an edit suit and it helps damped the sound for us, it could be covers with a nice T&G wooden or UPVC ceiling board would both look nice, it maybe wise to cross batten the ceiling and allow a bit of air flow behind the cladding to let the insulation breath
Let us know how you get on with your own build 🏠
@@MrandMrsDIY Brilliant, thanks Craig. So have an air gap below the insulation and also above it? Or should the insulation touch the inside of the roof?
Spot on,will the brad nails that you used to fasten the boards and plywood on be strong enough
Thanks, Yes most defiantly, I've built around 8 to 10 of these over the years and always used 50mm brad nail and we've never had any issues, you could also apply some glue on the timber frames before applying the cladding or ply for extra strength, I find when your using a nailer like this you tend to fix far more nails in that's required because its so quick and easy!
Good video Craig. Liked the tiles you used, which brand were they? Also, is there any reason why you didn't use a waterproof membrane between the wall cladding and the insulation?
Is it because he used ply on the inside and not plaster board?
Great build Craig - well expIained and expertly built. 2 questions: Approximate cost of timber materials? Did you consider installing a water vapour barrier to help prevent condensation?
Second the vapour barrier question - that shiplap stuff can shrink and allow water through pretty easily, especially if it goes up still wet from the timber yard - it then seems to have direct access to the Rockwool. At £50 for a big roll of barrier it would make sense to use it. Happy to hear from Craig otherwise though.
Liked and Subscribed.
Thank you.
Thanks
Brilliant, how would the materials for this build roughly cost?
Around £2k
@@MrandMrsDIY thanks craig, amazing video btw, very straight forward explanations
@@Its-me-Chris-z3p Thanks mate! Check out our other videos on the channel for more builds!
Hi Craig, I am looking to do something similar. Was wondering, since you made it look so simple and a wonderful job on it.. How much would you charge to make me one..?
Thanks Apurva glad you found it wonderful, I'm afraid we can't get the time to do private jobs at the minute as we have so many online videos to produce
We wish we had the time to, we maybe be doing live DIY classes soon so keep in touch
Craig - did you use (nominal) 3x2 treated framing for the floor or 4x2?
Yes we did thanks
Hes a good guy.
Thanks
Cheers Dalla
How big is this?
Thanks for the replying before too.
Looking forward to seeing your next project

Tanya
