    Anyone built a garden office?

    Morning all,

    I've decided to take the plunge and replace the shed at the bottom of my garden with a home office.

    Wondered if anyone else has tried this? At the moment I'm leaning towards a 'build it yourself' solution, maybe a log cabin from Dunster House.

    Budget is around £3K for a 3m by 3m erection.

    Thanks,

    Spondit

    I reckon you should build a tree house.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        DO you need it? Why not go to the local Costa or Starbucks so you don't end up like a hermit.

          Sasguru did, he spent ~£2 million.

            I built a 13ftx15ft workshop last year. I used a local supplier who supplied a kit that was from a factory in Eastern Europe. Cost was about 5k all in. It took two weekends to build. I needed a mate's help for the first weekend and already had a concrete base.
            ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

              Just put up one of these:

              from here

              It's 2.5 x 2.5 but they do a 3m version. Cost about £2500 but the thatched roof option added another 900. They also do a really nice looking home office option, check their website.

              Anyway, grand opening party is this weekend

                Not an office but i've got 3 sheds (well 2 sheds and a big chalet/playhouse) and always use these people: Olympian Sheds. Leading manufacturer of Cheshire Sheds, Workshops, Summerhouses, Garden Offices, Dog Kennels and more - they'll build anything you want, had a couple of mine custom built and was a great service.

                Worth visiting their factory just for the cut wood smell. Mmmmmmmm.

                    Yes. I've got three kids who I love dearly but they drive me insane.

                    I need somewhere to escape them, and also like the idea of separating home from work life.

                    Beer may be drunk there at some point.

                    Thanks to all the suggestions so far.
