After a new one, searched the Internet & online garden centres but not what I'm after

If someone knows of anyone that builds on spec that would be great

TIA
 
Erimus, my neighbour built one for me (really my Missus) and one thing I would think about is insulation. We had the walls, roof and floor insulated and with a little heating it's usable in all but the most freezing of weathers.

It turns a summerhouse into a garden room if that doesn't sound too posh.

Cheers, yes we'll be getting it insulated also

The downsize of replacing the old one, my wife has said no Boro memorabilia on the walls, as the previous summerhouse has a big Boro banner, a framed 73-74 picture & a few framed crests, also the Carling Cup framed picture

I think she probably deserves a place that feels more like her space and being the gent you are I don't think you will begrudge her that. Just make sure you wipe your feet before entering.

Don't forget the floor. Insist of insulation here as well, don't be fobbed off that it isn't necessary. A minimum of 8" rigid foam polystyrene under a concrete floor and insulation around the edges if that is the way you go.

Sounds like you’re getting the house to yourself, great stuff! 👍🤣
 
meant to attach a picture, only small but cosy. was originally a den for the kids, am going to replace the door with a narrow pair of glazed doors (when it stops raining) which i have made up, to get more light in. Seating area in front has now been removed20151103_085657[1].jpg
 
cheers Erimus20171017_165641.jpg, much appreciated. Built a shed also out of a pile of old fire doors. I am not very handy, i just looked at the stuff they were selling in B&Q etc and thought they are rubbish, i must be able to do better than that for a fraction of the cost.

That is excellent, really is, I'm no good at DIY & wouldn't even attempt it, well done
 
Erimus did you get sorted? I am thinking of getting something similar.

I have no idea what ball park figure you are looking at for something like this?
