Yeah it's all within permitted development. The concrete base is about 1m away but the cabin sits further in than that. If it was within a metre then I'd also have to have it fire proofed (paint that costs an extra £300).
Decided to do something more fun tonight so made up the bar-it's so sturdy and weighs a tonne.

Haha yep think it's like a foot rest, comes with a bright galvanised metal tread that slips on but I'm painting it with some hammerite first.
The whole things going to be a trip hazard with the amount of drinking that'll be going on. I need it already!
Going to dig a 'puke moat' for guests who over enthusiastically drink!

Depends on height, if under 2.5m that's not true. Check out government planning portal.
Mine is less than 2.5, but still had to be a metre off the boundary. If it is higher, I think it has to be 2.6m off the boundary? Went through it on site with the building inspector and we had to extend the slab as a result of having to move it in one directtion to be 1m clear insteead of the 600mm it was planned to be. Plus mine leaks like a sieve and they put doors on it opening the wrong way, and never bothered to turn up on three occasions now to fix it. A holes!!
It looks great, OP and youve done brilliantly to assemble it so quick IMO. How many people on the job?

The beauty is that it looks super insulated. How are you going to heat it? It is crying out for a wood burner.
Well a wood burner wood be awesome but I know I won't be arsed to light it! Going with 2 electric panel heaters that the spark said would be like boiling a kettle in terms of usage and should keep it toasty on low. We'll see!poo at Paul's said:

Well I planned on getting lots of help but brother went on holiday, swmbo's son buggered off up north home after the first day, then when the others saw what a big job it was they made their excuses haha. But I did have a shining light in the form of b-i-law who has popped back about 4 days putting in about 20hrs work. He's really practical and just manages to work things out without reading the terrible instructions. He's been a huge help and so I bought him an engraved glass tankard with 'Nige's pint, I built this bloody bar so hands off'. He liked it anyway!
Did some undercoating today. Lost the will to live and will rope swmbo in on the project again!

I have one of these in mine
It is superb, comes with a remote control fob and two heat settings.
Bought it direct from Tuin, it comes with a European plug which was easy to swap.

Are you going to shoot down to the Hogsback Brewery and see if you can get some proper taps etc for the bar?
Haha might have to in the new year i think! Funnily enough the ex-owner and founder comes up our restaurant quite a lot, may have to ask him if he has any left over tat!Tumbler said:

That looks really good, hadn't thought of that. Sparky has quoted and is booked in so its a bit late though now, but thanks anyway!Update is, built some shelf brackets/housing for what will be the booze shelves. I need to order three 1200 x 200 x 10mm tempered glass shelves, looking at £140 inc delivery. I tried not to rely on the walls too much as they need to be as free as possible for expansion.
All is undercoated now thank god, and emulsion is the name of the game now. Something boring like hessian on the walls and white ceiling so it blends with the carpet (light brown for muck proofing ) and bar (same colour as outside) and the pool table cloth (red)
So it looks like this atm...
Next up, electrics should be done tuesday/wednesday, armoured cable from the garage.
Then next up is to decide whether the 50" tv we have inside will hang on the wall. I may have to make a frame up, what does everyone think i should do?
It weighs 44.8k/7.05 stone.
My man Chris is on the case with a neon sign for indoors, can't wait for that. And a mate is going to help me with an outdoor one that should nicely blend in with the outside.
Carpet was a hefty £1050 cash fitted due to the sheer size, 30 mtrs sq. I trust the guy and it seems fair, should look cool as it will have a built in mat with silver trim. We'll see anyway!
Not thinking about the total cost until i have a drink in my hand haha!
