Amazing content man! I love the style and shape of your build!!!! Please could you do a video on the measurements and angles of the structure? Thank you!!
HI, thanks for the comment. I need to make some time to do the next video on the floor design and structure, which will include the dimensions and angles.
Thanks for the videos Kev. I'm also looking at a very odd shaped garden room, very similar to yours, except the front of mine is right angles, and the back comes to a point. I see you've used firring strips to angle the top of the roof. I'm playing around with my design and currently have the whole roof angled... imgur.com/U7kqH4x imgur.com/g5MJHj0 With a non-rectangular roof, this makes things quite complicated. I'm starting to think, with a non-rectangular roof, your method of firrings strips is going to be much easier. Any thoughts or tips?
Hi Patric, unless your very clever and good with complex calculations (which I am defiantly not), it's very difficult to get the furrings at the correct height, as having the front and back of the roof at differing lengths, all your furrings will need to be different thickness's, this is why I went for the easiest method, which has a lot of wastage, but that can be limited. In theory, make all your joists the same length as your longest joist, then get furrings cut to the same length, with the correct angle / slope. The just trim off all your joists and furrings to the correct length. This way you will defiantly have a flat slope with the same angle / degree towards your gutter. When I get time (busy doing electrics), I hope to do a video on it. Keep us updated on where you are with this, odd shaped garden rooms are a great challenge, so am interested in seeing what choices you make.
@@speedyrazor1 Ah, firrings strips, that's what I meant, not shims! (edited first comment). Thanks! I think you've just made things a lot easier for me....essentially joists and firrings strips all the same length, then trim accordingly!
@@patrickloftus glad it helped, take a look at my latest walk around video as I talk about the furrings and cold roof construction. ruclips.net/video/JOeYxerTQsA/видео.html

Sketchup great

Great! It looks amazing!!
Please could you reply and tell me the exact measurements of the base?
(Love your content by the way)
Hi, thanks for the comment. Dimentions are about 7.6m x 2.4m x 4.8m x 6.4m - Totalling about 28m2.
