Garden Office Building? What do you recommend?

I've just finished doing the same job - but using ordinary building materials, mostly bought second-hand via Adtrader. My 16ft x 10ft office cost 1200ukp and looks great. It's built of breeze blocks, rendered and painted. The roof is properly tiled with slates and terracotta ridge tiles. Two double glazed UPVC windows and a pair of Wickes UPVC french doors let in plenty of light and fresh air. Second hand items: Roof trusses £100 Windows £60 Slates £180 Remainder: 6 metres ready-mix £240. Blocks £264. French doors £199. Ridge tiles £54. Sand. cement & timber made up the balance. I've added a false chimney for birds to nest in and a bit of trellis & planting to blend it all in. Now the wife is threatening to make a take-over bid...... I did all the work myself - never done anuthing like it before but it all came out perfectly. It has taken just over three months and the only tough bits were digging out the footings and laying the blocks up the apex of the roof. If you don't have the time, try advertising for a pensioner to do it for you! |
