flipping heck - what did you put in your planning for a garden room? I did planning for mine too, but my description was just slate or slate-effect roof and clad exterior. I used wriggly tin for the unseen back walls too.Went for planning to get to 3m. Wanted a cedar front and composite sides and back, planning officer wasnt keen on mixing materials
How about, stop the vertical planks short and use one or more rows of horizontal composite planks like a skirt at the bottom?I've had vertical T&G, and every board rotted at the bottom, where rain soaked into the end grain, both running down the boards and splashing up..
Neighbours a nightmare. Size of the room 6x4.5m meant I needed sizeable roof joists, unless I wanted to put a steel in. Hence needing to go to 3mflipping heck - what did you put in your planning for a garden room? I did planning for mine too, but my description was just slate or slate-effect roof and clad exterior.

Interesting. May have to see if I can find a picture of it somewhere. As mentioned I'm on a hill so can be seen from the roads from 2 sides and the front. I'm sure I'd get away with lower parts not being timberHow about, stop the vertical planks short and use one or more rows of horizontal composite planks like a skirt at the bottom?
That would look a bit crap.How about, stop the vertical planks short and use one or more rows of horizontal composite planks like a skirt at the bottom?
Yeah but mine is a flat roof, only just over the 1m from boundary nonsenseMine's 6.5 x 3.6 with a 3.3m ridge and 2.3m eaves
Y mine too. When I went for planning I illustrated how a pitched roof with 2.3m eaves a bit away from the boundary was going to be better for the fairly close neighbours than a 2.5m wall right on the boundary......only just over the 1m from boundary nonsense
