Part 7- GARDEN ROOM BUILD -Electrics & Wall Insulation | OFFICE | GYM | TV ROOM | STUDIO | CABIN

DIY Garden Room - the garden room is 7.2x4.5m (externally), with a 2"x5" frame, 120mm PIR insulation, warm roof construction with Shou Sugi Ban larch cladding. We use it as a home office, gym and tv cinema room. Built 75% by Karen and 25% help from her husband.

This episode covers the electrics and installing the wall insulation - time consuming and not much fun! I had an electrician do the work, so it doesn't go into installation specifics, but the photos are quite self explanatory and show how he ran the circuits. The timber wall insulation took me about 3 weeks to do - it was long and laborious and I think any future project will involve something less time consuming!

BACKGROUND - During the first UK 2020 lockdown I decided to build my family a garden room. The teens had nowhere to hang out away from us parents and my husband was working from home indefinitely and needed office space. We have the space in the garden (even if it is sloped) – so why not build a multifunctional room! I had time on my hands (covid scuppered my business) and had talked about building one for years – now was my opportunity! I learnt tonnes along the way having only tackled fences, shed bases and wood stores before this. Subscribe to see the last in the series when I highlight all the key learning points and tips for building a garden room.
