DIY Self Build Home Offices,
Studios and Lodges
If you
are a keen DIY'er, know a flat-pack enthusiast or a local
joiner builder then a Self Build, DIY Garden office may
be right up your street.
Don't be afraid to ask the supplier how much they do charge
for installation, experienced fitters will have it up in
no time.

Ask what preparations are required such as bases,
standing areas, foundations etc. You need to know what
access the delivery people need.
Prepare
your garden space for lots of panels - double check the
'tools required' list and ensure you have adequate power.

A DIY garden
office or self build (same thing) could be your solution but be
mindful that the professionals that may be available for extra
cost have done it all before. They know the pitfalls and quirky
problems, they'll carry spares and emergency bits.
Your garden
office will be your place of work and needs to stand up to all
weathers. It needs to be fully insulated, warm in winter, cool
in summer and keep the wet weather out.
Double check
the security of the garden office in
general, not just the doors and windows.

A major
consideration is the exterior
finish and weather treatment although the timber may
have a degree of treatment, the finally built garden office
will need overall protection - better safe than sorry.
If the
DIY Garden Office Kit doesn't come with a quality brand
of shed/decking treatment, don't forget to add the prices
onto the overall budget including brushes, rollers, face
masks, cleaner etc.
