garden building

Hiya, I'm replacing a "package" 10' x 20' shed and will be building it from scratch. The quality of the shed was not high in the first place, and it's now leaking and generally damp, and is also not well organised. I'm moderately experienced in building larger projects (I've designed and built...

Hello everyone! We've had a garden office put in and are unsure if what the guys have done will last or not. There are already several cracks in the concrete and bits that are over hanging. I'm no expert at this but it doesn't feel like it's been done properly so would be great to get someone...

Good Afternoon, Thank you for reading this and offering any advice you might have. Over the summer I built a pre-fabbed garden office. It went together quite well, some hiccups aside. The walls are 44mm Spruce which I insulated with 25mm insulation board inbetween batons screwed along the walls...

Hi Everyone – first post here. Been looking at your forum for a while now and its given me lots of really useful advice. The specific advice I am after here is around the footings and oversite element of the proposed build below. Situation I’ve gained planning permission to build a 8m...

I want to lay gravel over a section of my garden, but need to add an edge to stop the gravel travelling. I’ve laid some wooden battens into mortar (with a gravel bed underneath for drainage) and use screws about 1 inch proud in the under side of the wood to make them more secure in the concrete...

Any help would be great here... We're moving house and have a 10'x8' garden office (only 5 months old, on a flat, concrete base) that we want to take with us... No problem in moving it (fortunately my best friend owns a crane firm!) but, and it's a big but, the property we're moving to is...
