Anyone got a nice hideway garden office den thingy?

2) Can what's inside be easily seen through the windows? It does look quite open to prying eyes.

You can have a "shed bit" where you could put your servers. This (I assume) would be more secure and definitely free from prying eyes.

Now you got my imagination fired up.

A whole server farm in my back garden!

I put tools and a lawnmower in my shed. Although I saw it on the news once, those fellas in Slough who have been building them in their back yards to house asylum seekers. Is that the plan?

My place of hiding is a hired office which has a martial arts matted area to follow my wildly deluded dreams of one day fighting in the UFC. However, being a puny programmer, I'll be lucky to escape a happy slapping in the KFC.

That garden thingie looks like a great hideout.

I am seriously thinking about this.........

Not so sure on the exterior, but how about if I pebble dash it??

Then again - not sure how I would get the darned thing into my back garden!! I am assuming these can get flat packed?

We do have a hideaway in the back garden : thats where we put the kids.

Thing is, why have a shed?

Surely one of the many outbuildings or annexe cottages on your land could be utilised for an office outside of you main manor house?

i looked on the eco ex sea container website, it seems, with the options like a bog etc, the price works out + - £1000/m2

funny they want like 1500 for the corner kitchen when you can get those things in Ikea for 100 quid

there we are eh, those with more credit cards and mortgages than sense

i dread to think what the materials and life of the eco container are

but the idea in principle is a good one,

things is a builder should be able to build the same spec from bricks and mortar and real materials for the same £1000 per m2

The Ecospace does look good.

A couple of questions though

1) How secure is it? As in could you put a load of servers in there and have a reasonable chance of them not getting nicked?

2) Can what's inside be easily seen through the windows? It does look quite open to prying eyes.

1. Its as secure as any extension you might build. The glass is double glazed - not sure how hard it is to break (very hard I would have thought), but no different from, say, double glazed French doors in your home.

2. You can have the interior layout as you like. If you had some expeensive kit you could put it behind a partition so it couldn't be seen.

With a detached house you can't have total security to your back garden unfortunately - maybe buy a Doberman.

PS the materials are top notch and should last a lifetime.
