Hello there DIY Guy. I’m building a garden room using your design. I’m just finishing off the front wall (4.8m wide) and have made it from two side panels (1200mm each) two 300mm wide supports for the lintel (1200) for a French door/window combo (1800mm wide). My concern is how to make the various components really tight and strong. Could you let me know any top tips. Thanks
Hi mate, thanks for the video and all the good work you! Just wanted to ask what you think of the Evolution pop-up gazebo as I am after a good one and would be grateful if you could share your opinion on that please. Thanks
Love the speed and no nonsense approach. Cocked up with the 10 uprights @8mm though.. needed 11 uprights for that 80mm lift...no lift on the first one !! and I bet you would let the osb hang enough to cover the ends of the other walls too if you built it again ??
As I don't have a garden I won't be doing any of this, BUT it's so interesting seeing it come together. You do pick your days Cameron, I fully expect the next episode to have twisters and a full on tornado in the background with cows flying through the air (a nod to the film Twister). Another cracking vid mate...Paul..
The best video to date on DIY garden building is very detailed and useful . This is the only video I have subscribed to so far. Please keep up the good work
Thank for the explanation of how to work out the wall heights - front to back - and the drop per metre to get a the correct drainage slope on the roof. Very, very helpful. Excellent video series all round. Keep up the top work. Subscribed😊
Cheers! Timber alone including roof was £1500. But this was trade price from MKM builders merchant. If you were to buy from the likes of wickes/b&q it would be considerably more
I would be interested if you would show how to install a Workshop Consumer Unit Type A 3 Way if that is your intention. When you reach that stage in the build please great video.
Good job 👍what thickness osb you used ? For outside corners for side walls I would do osb overlap of thickness of stud + osb. as you need cut narrow piece to cover timber .)1 joint covered plus extra tightening together🤷♂️
amazing video, very clear and ive watched a few of them as I am building a 30sqm 6x5 home office, the base is down and I'm about to start the build but glad I ,saw this before hand
Would building same height walls all around with no drop and then when the roof joists are on make furlings to sit on them to create a fall for the roof work? It would also mean that inside your ceiling would be the same height throughout?
The video only showed you fixing a single DeWalt concrete anchor bolt but hopefully you installed more than that! 😜 So how many, ie how far apart would these need to be to hold this structure safely to the concrete base , particularly in stormy/windy conditions. What is the recommended distance apart for those (presumably 6mm) concrete anchor bolts. Would using 8mm or 10mm bolts be any safer or is it overkill? Are those Dewalt anchor bolts stronger than other anchor bolt types like sleeve anchors or wedge anchors etc?
Another great teaching build. Thank you so much. I've started my garden room now, L shape with canopy (I know, I made it harder for myself) at the moment I'm doing the foundation, measuring twice, third & even fourth time 😊... your advice is very easy to follow. One question re mesh, what size mesh did you use ? Thanks.
Nice work. You mentioned using 1 degree for side wall uprights cuts (along the 2" side). Did you also cut uprights (along the 4" side) of the front and back walls at 1 degree so the top plates are sitting fully flush against roof joints ? Or this is so minimal that it doesn't matter ?
I believe you put a waterproof membrane before you put the concrete floor, what if my builder did not do this and 2 years on, I am having this damp on plasterboard from the inside. Do you have any recomendation for my problem?
Excellent video again Cameron. Quick question, what thickness OSB did you go for? Is it 11mm? Would that be the ideal thickness for flooring? I am building a lean to shed.
Hi, great series so far. Any tips for garden rooms which wont have 90 degree corners? Making use of the most of my space I'll end up without any 90's unless I'm willing to waste a load of space.
Great video. But why not just make the partitions the same height, then the rafters with timber firrings on the top for the run instead of having to cut every 4x2 8mm bigger?
What a fascinating video - I loved it thank you. You must have smashed maths at school! Your explanations are fantastic. Keep the videos coming please. A great journey to share. Cheers.
I've watched the full build and it's been really handy for my own workshop build that I'm just starting. But I was wondering about the use of osb for cladding the walls. Is that okay because of the membrane that you then cover it in? Or is it of an exterior grade? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Probably one of the beat instruction videos I've watched and I've watched a lot. One question, I want to extend an already old shed but in great condition it's on concrete that needs resurfacing the wood in some areas needs some attention replacing etc... however I want to extend this shed, its 22.26 m² up to a drop in the garden patio which has a drop of around 10 inches I'm hoping to add joint straps (for a floating floor) from the original footing extend over the patio, the extention will be around 7.9 m² is this doable ? Thanks
Brilliant video series, thanks so much it's really helped me have the confidence to build my own workshop. What did.and length DeWalt bolts are you using to fix the floor plates down?
Awesome vid for a newbie like me! Thanks for all of the detail. Question: why did you not have the OSB on the sides, overlap the 2x4s of the front and back walls at each of the corners?
Thanks. These particular concrete screws have what dewalt call a ‘locking washer head’ so a washer isn’t necessary. If you take a look at the underside of the head on the video you can see this.
Should of done a 6 inch brick upstand around the perimeter to get the timber away from the ground...rain gives up splash which rots the bottom of timber buildings fast....other than that you're doing a good job 👍
The dpm will be folded up the side of the walls with a breathable membrane overlapping it. This is then clad. No rain or splashing will come in contact with the timber. This will all be shown in coming episodes.
how about if you go 2 meters away from the wall, can you build higher? 2.1 meter is not bad, for ceiling but we have mtb, I was planning to store the upright against the wall and I was calculating that I will go 2.3- 2.4m until ceiling. How far I need to be from the wall to build higher?
Brilliant series of videos - very helpful! I’ve got an existing base with a 1930’s asbestos double garage on it. I’m thinking of knocking it down to build an office/studio. What size wood are you using for the walls?
Great video, how did you work out how much timber you needed to complete this? As I am looking to build one thisnsize in the future. Anynadvice would be brilliant.
Loving this series!! Question: when you remove the shuttering - won’t the sand and MOT fall out? Or am I asking a stupid question?!? Thanks in advance!!
Fantastic build video just subscribed 👏 Im building mine over the next few months anyone local to dorset that is also building one fancy getting together maybe get-together and help on both jobs simultaneously as the wife is no good at lifting 😅
I did, and if this were being used as a garden room instead of workshop I would have done that. The thing to consider if doing this is that you’ll need to take a fair bit more soil out to make way for the oversize.
@@TheDIYGuy1 True, another 100-150mm of digging would not be fun. Currently frying my brain trying to figure out the side wall calculations....imagine chopping the back left corner of your building off at 45 degrees.... A 4m x 6m room with a 3.6m back wall, 1.6m left side wall, and a 3.3m wall at 45 degrees joining the two. I should have studied trigonometry harder at school! It's the slope calculations that are a 'mare, as the uprights on that angled wall need both a front to back angle cutting on them, same as yours, but also a left to right angle cutting.
Hey, did you consider using California corners to allow installation of insulation? I presume with building this during winter you will be considering a healthy amount of insulation!
@@TheDIYGuy1 So many things to decide when building a garden room. Never heard of Actis hybris before; looks to be cheaper than PIR (perhaps £11 per square meter rather than £15) although it is a multifoil so less proven than PIR!
Hi Cameron, came across your videos and absolutely loving them as I look to take on some jobs this year. I am looking at a smaller version of this for my own garden but a question I have if you could help. I already have solid and level decking which is actually on the top of slabbing, can I use the decking as the base or would you suggest pulling that up and using the slabbing? Then I assume I'd build a frame for the floor similar to your wall frame to lift it off the decking and place damp proof membrane on that then sit the walls on it? Keep up the great work and thanks for the Amazon link to some of your tools!
@@TheDIYGuy1 Does it make more work that osb comes in 1220mm widths but plasterboard is in 1200mm widths? (It is at Wickes anyway 🤷♂️) Trim osb 20mm to hit studs??
Good way to square the two walls is to measure the first length and x² then measure the second length and x² add them both together and square root the total. It will give you a measurement across corners. 👍
@@datderpa9499I thought the same but no this guy's way is great for more accuracy on a structure this way with no up and down ladders and perfect for the roof...learn something new everyday thank you 🙏
Does using osb on the outside of the wall negate the need for noggins ?. Can't see osb on one face stopping timber moving. Not a criticism just curious.
Genuine question, but permitted development seems to have 2 rules which I can't see that you meet? The first one is that within 1m of a boundary, the walls need to be made from non combustable material (i.e. not wood!). The second is that the maximum height at the eaves needs to be 2m (not 2.5m). Have I got it wrong?
As long as the walls are coated with a non combustible material which mine will be(metal box profile) it’s fine. 2.5m at the eaves is the rule and that can be found via many sources online.
sorry if you get asked this every other day, but what timbers are you actually using. I've seen different sizes of OSB and even the "2x4's" aren't actually 2 inches by 4 inches... I'm assuming they're 50mm x 100mm but when I search for that, I find timber that's actually 44mm or 45mm "finished". Again, sorry if these are noob questions, but I'm planning my own garden building and I need to get everything right so I don't f it up down the line. These videos are some of the absolute best videos out there on how to build a garden room, so I know whatever you say will be right. Thanks in advance.
Perfect timing. I’ve just stated doing a garage conversion. Already taken a few tips from this. I’m Norwich based (I think you are to) where are you getting your timber from?
Hi, great video and very helpful too,do you use ring nails for the frame or straight nails, I'm going to attempt the project myself and trying to get a list of materials together , 👍🏻
Great video mate. Quick question, when the rain runs down the outside, won’t it work its way in as it will be soaking the sides of the concrete pad? Will you fold the DPM up and clad over the top of it to avoid that?
The DPM will be folded up the walls with the breathable rhino vent membrane overlapping it. This will then be clad. There will be no issues with damp or water coming in contact with the walls. Thanks
Great video again Cameron is the only difference between using nails and screws for the wall speed? Don’t have a nail gun wonder if it’s worth investing
Great video, well explained and filmed. When building my deck last year I used 345 to find square. If someone didn’t have large squares is that a method you’d use/recommend? *Edit - Just realised you covered that in the previous episode :)
Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoy building it! Roof episode to come soon 😊
Looks great, how does our climate suit these frames and ply? Like moisture rot.
That's stick frame not timber frame..
The studs C16 or C24?

The DPM will be folded up the walls with the breathable rhino vent membrane overlapping it. This will then be clad. There will be no issues with damp or water coming in contact with the walls. Thanks
Great tutorial.
Glad you liked it!
You gave a cost for the concrete base, how much was the build?
Brilliant
Great video keep up the good work ❤
Thank you! Will do!
nice project, what will you be cladding the exterior walls with?
Thanks. We are going to use ecoscape composite cladding
Great video again Cameron is the only difference between using nails and screws for the wall speed? Don’t have a nail gun wonder if it’s worth investing
Thanks. Nails are faster but also have a better shear strength.
@@TheDIYGuy1 top man thank you!
Sorry Cameron one more question! Are you making double swing doors? Looking to do some myself so could be useful for me to wait and watch
No probs. I’m not, I was going to fit bifolds but have now decided to do a roller door instead.
Not a bad idea I will await your next update then 🙌🏽
Great video, well explained and filmed. When building my deck last year I used 345 to find square. If someone didn’t have large squares is that a method you’d use/recommend? *Edit - Just realised you covered that in the previous episode :)
Absolutely 👍, 345 is something I often use. Thanks
@TheDIYGuy01 Great series 👍🏼.. your 100mm Dewalt concrete anchors were they 6mm or 8mm ? Many thx
He used a 6mm SDS Drill Bit, so my assumption has been the 6mm anchors
will the floor be insulated and if so why didnt u do it under the concrete
