Time at Home – Time to Self-Build?
Changes to the way that many of us work has meant that more of us are working from our own homes (or gardens, when the weather permits it). With children at home at school and young adults home from university, many households have all family members at home at the same time, putting space under pressure and quiet space at a premium.
For many, a spare bedroom, dining room or conservatory may offer a space to work away from normal family life. However, particularly where there are challenges with children at home, vulnerable people or simply difficulties with achieving quiet and productive workspace, finding a suitable place to work or have some space, can be a challenge.
We’ve developed a range of DIY/Flat Pack Garden Room Kits, which can be easily installed by a competent installer or DIY enthusiast. They provide a short-term solution to the need for more suitable working space at home, while adding a long lasting and value enhancing addition to your property.
They’re also a great self build garden room project to undertake if you’re looking for an interesting DIY project that delivers a practical and useful room for you and your family.
As working practices change and hybrid working is set to stay, our self build DIY/flat pack garden rooms can provide a perfect, quick to install and affordable solution for a home office, home work room, home gym, hobbies room or simply a quiet space to escape to.
Our DIY self build garden rooms are supplied in kit form, comprising of a series of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) to form the walls, roof and floor of your garden room. We supply full assembly instructions with each garden room kit, taking you step by step through each stage of the build. Watch our video to see just how quick and easy a self build room is to assemble.
Whilst the whole family can get involved, the room assembly can be done by two people, with tools and equipment that the majority of households will have to hand. You can specify your own choice of glazing, external cladding and roof covering to finish your build, adding your own personal touches.
The result is a strong, durable and attractive garden room for your home.
Typically, it will take the confident installer approximately one week to complete the shell installation, with internal and external finishes to follow. You don’t even have to have a hard standing or concrete base to install the garden room on top, as these rooms can be installed on a more simple concrete pad system. This can be done yourself, by digging a series of 400mm x 300mm holes (depending on ground conditions) which are filled with post mix. Collectively, these will form a strong and solid base for the DIY garden room to sit upon.
Future SIPS offers a variety of different models of flat pack garden rooms. These designs are based on our most popular garden rooms produced and installed by our sister company, Future Rooms.
Each garden room kit can be purchased in a range of sizes to fit your space and these are available to order now. Lead and delivery times are currently approximately 2 – 4 weeks.
We can also offer a bespoke DIY room package if you would like a specific shape or size to fit your garden space.
