DIY Diplomat Shell & External Garden Room Kit in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire

DIY Garden Rooms

Project Overview

A customer in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, ordered a 5m x 4m DIY Diplomat Shell and External kit.

The building was specified with British Cedar cladding, grey UPVC glazing, a 2.4m French door set with one side screen, and an additional full-height glazed panel. The customer also chose louvres and a deck step frame with boards.

The customer wanted a good-sized garden room that could be built as a DIY project, with the main structure and external finish supplied.

The Diplomat model suited the brief because it offers a wider glazed frontage and a more detailed design than a standard rectangular studio. The 5m x 4m size also gave the customer plenty of space to finish internally for their own use.

The Kit Supplied

We supplied a DIY Diplomat Shell and External kit.

The specification included:

  • 5m x 4m Diplomat garden room
  • SIP panels for the walls, floor and roof
  • 100mm insulation, with a finished panel size of 122mm
  • Joining splines
  • Floor bearers
  • British Cedar external cladding
  • EPDM rubber roof
  • Grey/grey UPVC French doors with one side screen at 2.4m, offset to the left-hand side
  • Grey/grey UPVC full-height glazed panel at 600mm to the left-hand side
  • Steel corner post
  • Louvres
  • Deck step frame and boards
  • Breather membrane
  • Tile batten
  • Guttering and downpipe
  • Fixings and adhesives
  • Assembly instruction

The Build

The Shell and External kit gave the customer the insulated SIP structure, external cladding, roof covering, glazing and finishing components needed to get the room built and weathered in.

The British Cedar cladding gives the outside a natural timber finish, while the grey glazing works well with the Diplomat design. The extra glazed panel and French doors help bring more light into the front of the room.

Once complete, the customer has a spacious 5m x 4m Diplomat garden room ready for the internal finish of their choice.

The combination of cedar cladding, front glazing, louvres and the deck step gives the building a smart, practical finish for a garden room in Mansfield.

Really, really pleased with it

Really pleased with it all and enjoy sitting and taking in the view, glass of wine in hand of course! We did new decking immediately outside of it, in order to open the bi fold doors fully as an extension to the room.  All in all, really, really pleased with it.

Such excellent service!

My wife and I just wanted to thank Richard, yourself and the rest of the team for all the support, ad hoc technical tips and advice that we got whilst building our Garden Room. I know that I visited the showroom 2 or 3 times and Richard and the team, even though quite busy, showed us every courtesy and help. Such excellent service! I have finally completed the build of our 3 x 5m Garden Room, and we are very pleased with it.
