It took me 2 and a half days to build, I did it on my own.
End of day 1 I had the structure up

Did you read the instructions?

Must have used some very strong glue!

Wow. Am not looking at these as a solution for my working from home problem and considering putting one in the garage to work in. A wendy house so to speak.

If you're looking for an inner room, then not worth buying an expensive wooden structure.

Yup they are great

What size is this please, would they be ok to use for an office through the winter?

It’s 3.8x3.8. I use mine as a work shop/man cave and it’s fine in the winter. Had a couple of late nights playing forza 2 in there.

Does get pretty hot in the summer though so if I was using it as an office I would want one that has more windows. Mine only has one opening window.

Our workshop/shed was also from Tuin - ours is a Lukas and we have a workshop one side and garden storage the other

I don't know what "Midlands" means in your profile, but Warwick Buildings in Long Itchington are worth a look. They've done me a couple of garages and a summerhouse thing in the past. They don't officially do bases, but the installation guys do.

Indeed they do - our base going down tomorrow after what seems like a very long wait - their waiting list has gone mad this year with all that is going on. Their installation team are doing it, so we know it will meet their spec.

The garden room itself arrives early December, so hopefully all done for Christmas (I guess now all lockdown dependant...)

ooo very nice, dumb question but is it purely the weight of the "logs" that holds it all down? Are there any fastenings or glue?

Looks like they can be modified fairly easily? I was looking at a square design which was just a bit too big to also put a shed next to but looks like on a square roof you'd be able to shortern then in one dimension without much complication.

They slot together, tongue and groove. If you look at the build thread you'll see. I don't think they'd be easy to modify as the logs interlock.

That Tuin one looks great, like the idea of keeping the shed stuff separate but part of the same building

Think that was my point, I think you can make a new interlocking cuts if you wanted to make a square building shorter in 1 dimension.
