Like it but can't help but think it would be better if it was built up off a couple of courses of engineering bricks with dpm on top rather than wood on top of always wet concrete.
As with other comments I would be concerned at the base onto the slab, water could/would pool and seep in / impact the base timber. For me either a couple if courses of Brick are required or the base needs to be exact to the structure and external clad overlaps with good drainage around all sides. Nice building though.
how will you keep water out of this structure? the slab must be inside the envelope. no barrier except elevation will prevent water intrusion. what you are doing is malpractice!
Hope they have a good guarantee as that base plate will be rotten in 10 years or less in the west coast of Scotland, really needs a brick or block layer between the slab and base of the frame
We got that big granny annex you showed, still working on it. The instructions that came with it were garbage, seriously, we'd seen a review saying they weren't good but OMG they were dreadful. Whole elements that we had to guess at. Metal sheet roofing? Just as well the German manufacturer has instructions on their web site because there was nothing.

Nice looking building to be sure, but I can't fathom the logic of having the outer cladding vertical, water running down it is just being invited to creep around the back?? I've always built these with the cladding horizontal, then the water has to go uphill to get behind. ATB
I always worry about timber plates straight on to concrete with a dpm. The water gets on the dpm and puddles. Major posterior ache to repair. Much rather have 3 course of bricks personally.
I agree with that completely the trouble is that you need to get the car in so you have to build up and then adjust the door height. It can be done though and evern one course of bricks is better than nothing.
I would recommend that the concrete base is the exact size of the tongue and groove walls so when the external cladding is added it forms a drip past the surface of the base.
To clarify, that's an uninsulated roof then? Didn't see any kingspan going down or were you doing a cold roof? Our loft conversion has an awful cold roof so much prefer warm.
@@SkillBuilder Some wet snow and it will be as if the roof sit under water, the more tilt the less trouble, but perhaps snow isn't a thing where the garage stands 🙃

How to build a DIY garage. Pay some other chaps to do it 😆👍
👍👍👍. Thanks Sam
I've a big house, lodsa money and a crappy sectional concrete garage - how much will this fella set me back Rog?
Beautiful job 🤌🏽👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Now that’s a home workshop to envy 😍

You didn't buy the one we showed because the instructions were brilliant and everything was labelled and stacked in order.
@@SkillBuilder The GRANNY ANNEX not the garage you were building, the Granny Annexe SELENE M you showed a photo of at the start.

wow fantastic job and build
How many days was that job?

Could have been stick built , like timber frame house , clad it anything you like and far cheaper than that
interesting building👍and 2 things gives me thinking, exterior cladding( not tong and groove) and why roof not been insulated with PIR? 🤔
roof is insulated on the inside between the joists
@SkillBuilder ohh, ok. thanks for info👍
Not for me, living in the UK I'll assume the weather will destroy it.
I built my cabin 19 years ago and it in perfect condition, few days maintenance every year, the same you would a house and all good.

Couldn't you wrap the dpm up the wall to effectively give it a waterproof surround? Tape/liquid flash it (as they do in the US)?

@@SJWardBuildersgravel below that for drips or just onto the grass, etc?
Not the best idea to put screws into the roof even if they have a rubber seal on them. Those always fail.
dry timber in uk....recipe for disaster
Overall I either make no comment or a positive comment but for this video I will make an exception. I thought this product was just awful.🙀
So if the only fixings is to the floor why are they doing more fixings during the video
Expensive i bet...much better ones available though. Give it a year or so and it will be opening up etc etc...
I wanted to check out their website, but you either accept all of their cookies or you have nothing to do with them - I chose the latter.
Stunning and brave. Don't let the terrorists win
Same.👍
Tick one of the options then untick it and it'll let you save.

The insulation is on the inside between the joist
Good work, but just a little confused why the roof wasn't tilted ? Won't the rain just sit on top 😮
it was tilted. It is called the fall and it was explained
LOL

4:10, fully explained.
@@bamsebrumbamsebrumen5403 most snow wouldn't last more than a day and might only happen once a year, if at all. ⛄
What an awful eyesore.
