With the cloth at over a grand and table coming from one of the pro tournaments you can imagine the glare I got when I jokingly posed for a swerve shot with my cue almost vertical 😳Chris_from_Sidcup said:

You just know someone’s going to spill a drink or put a fag burn in that table though.
He won’t tell me what the total cost was but he sold a car for 55k and at least two thirds of that paid for it all.1 -

(Also, he needs to sort that TV picture out. There's some sort of delay on it, because the balls on the table aren't in the same position as they appear to be on the live TV view).
the ball position was after I broke.
I went on to make a PB break of four in that frame after fluking the green. 🤷♂️3 -
That would be 4 mate, as you'd have had to pot a red first.T_C_E said:

I got it wrong after originally writing “fluked the brown” but rewrote it after thinking you might pipe up at that! 😂DaveMehmet said:

If you are putting down a concrete base it should be roughly 2 inches shorter than the wooden building.Chizz said:
Can you give me advice on what foundation you used?Mendonca In Asdas said:Found this company at the Chelsea flower show a few years back , prices have gone through the roof since we got ours, but would recommend the company, and product.

For example if you was installing a shed that was ten foot by ten foot the concrete base should be nine foot 10 inches by 9 foot 10 inches.
This is so that when it rains the rain falls of the bottom of the shed and goes directly to the ground.
If the concrete base was a few inches wider than the shed the rain would go underneath the wooden base and in time rot the floor.
If you prefer the base to be wider than the building then you could always spread some house bricks on the concrete before laying the floor to leave a gap so the rain doesn't touch the floor.
Trouble with that is that small creatures such as rats and mice tend to build their nests there.
Good luck whichever way you choose to do it.

I put in a lovely garden office in 2008in my old house in Dartford when I was operating as a self employed consultant. We sourced it from the garden office place on the right hand side as you go into Ruxley Manor garden centre. Lovely old Indian chap ran it although I suspect he’s retired now. It was insulated to habitable spec with shingle roof and we put in full electrics and plumbing capable of taking domestic waste. We had it in mind that we could turn it into a studio flat with separate loo and shower for when my lads reached shagging age so that we didn’t have to listen to them at it in the house above our lounge. It was a great haven of peace and quiet for me before I went back to real job up town. The eagle eyed will spot the Floyd Road sign above the desk. With full concrete base, all the utilities and fitting out it cost me the thick end of £20k so I shudder to think what it would cost now.1 -
Better pictures. We had to revamped after a burst pipe in 2018 so took the opportunity to tidy it up a bit!!!0 -
Furnishings are a bit ornate for a sauna.
Oh wait, should have checked if this was intended to be the home office equivalent of rate my plate.0 - Sponsored links:

Why not a simple conventional concrete slab, blockwork wall, timber roof?
As long as access isn’t too much of an issue, reckon you could get a 12 meter rectangular type build done for around 10k.
Add external cladding, insulation, door & windows, say another 5k
Cant comment on electrics and plumbing as that is location dependant.0 -
Still work in progress, but got communications, electrical, soil waste and cold water all run.
windows and doors off eBay
Just got a few mates to help.
Slab concrete £1k
Blocks and labour and mortar £2.5k
Timber roof £1k
Felt and underlay, plus labour £800
Doors and windows £300
Fascia and Soffit £200

Pics in the wrong order, but you get the gist of how it was put together with the final result. Got it from Johnson’s, Ashford. A/C / heating essential. Not exactly an office, but it could have been.6 -
We are looking at one from Johnson’s. Parents may be moving in so my wife needs to relocate her craft room so they can have their own lounge.0

Very happy with the product and their service. I bought their standard electrics ‘package’, but wish I’d got an electrician to put lights etc where I wanted them.LargeAddick said:We are looking at one from Johnson’s.

We already have a feed out to the garden from when we had a hot tub so they have suggested it would be cheaper for us to get in our own electrician opposed to their package. Good to know you’d recommend them though.SX_Addick said:

Took me a couple of weeks but it was worth it. Use it for storage, space for relaxing if I need a bit of peace.

Thanks so much for taking the trouble to dig that out for me. That's really useful.T_C_E said:

We have one in our garden. Small part of it is the "shed" with a hidden door.
It's my home office, but the mrs has decided that stuff she doesn't want in the house has to go in there now so I have some sports equipment in there, books, etc.
It's very very good - budget £15-20k+ depending on size if you want more than a draughty shed.
My mate is a builder and has been doing loads of these. So many in fact that he is about to set up a new company - The Garden Room Company. I am in the process of doing him a website for it.
Some of them are mental (like the snooker table above!), but my garden isn't quite that big!
DM me if you want me to put you in touch with him. He's based in Hartley1 - Sponsored links:

Really considering having one of these built in the garden within next 18 months as personal office as I WFH permanently.Only issue is that where it would be locate is a sun trap and during the summer months can easily be sun for 14 hours+. Excluding getting an AC unit any idea on whether it is possible to keep these buildings cool in the summer.0

Aircon is the only way really. You can and should put up blinds etc on doors/windows which will help, but you will still roast!SouthWest_Addicks said:Really considering having one of these built in the garden within next 18 months as personal office as I WFH permanently.Only issue is that where it would be locate is a sun trap and during the summer months can easily be sun for 14 hours+.

My mate has one of these in his garden room and really good. https://www.aircondirect.co.uk/p/1449870/10000-btu-wall-mounted-air-conditioner-and-heat-pump-without-outdoor-unit-with-wifi-for-rooms-up-to-30-sqm
Saves space, i.e. no separate heat pump. Does heating as well from memory. Or get a portable one, but you still have to vent out, they start from around £300.0 -

Where you based, Chizz? FWIW there's no reason to spend £15-20k.Chizz said:

I've got better pictures somewhere, but this is what sub £7k bought in 68mm log thickness, 19mm floor and roof, add to that about £450 for electrics, £150 for floor insulation, £1800 for garden clearance and the concrete base, I did the floor internally, about £150 in LVT.

Don’t take this to heart, but I can see why the electrician charged you £4500
-
Lol, he didn't charge that much.R0TW said:Don’t take this to heart, but I can see why the electrician charged you £450
It's the one downside with log cabins, you cannot run in the walls as all solid. Some is run in conduit externally (first picture you can see just a socket).
But critique away..........0 -
I ran my conduit on the outside, down the back, just had the fittings inside of the cabin, the shed had conduit inside for both the shed part and the cabin.Rob7Lee said:

Thats broadly what I did, the main parts you see (inc consumer unit) are in the shed. I wanted lights at the front and switch by the door so a little bit of conduit inside near the double doors, but I'm fine with that.guinnessaddick said:

Is it just a single layer of 68mm timber, or do you have insulation in there? And, what is the roof made of? Is it EPDM or shingles? Or... something else?
