Part 3 of a video series about how to self-build a timber-framed garden room office (aka tiny house)/wood workshop in the UK.
This video covers my design decisions and their impact on planning permission and building regs discussed in Part 2.
The purpose of this video series is to provide all the information required for viewers to build their own garden room rather than just a montage of the building work. It took me months of research to learn everything in these videos so I hope to save people time and money.
The videos are a mix of theory and footage of the build including all the mistakes I made along the way. I am not a builder or tradesman, just a keen DIY-er with some basic tools. Everyone can do this!
In the longer term, I hope to turn this channel into a community for garden room self-builders and to eventually evolve into a woodworking projects channel- the real purpose of my garden room!
Big thanks to all those who have subscribed and waited patiently for the next video. I purposely put in some shots of the building at a future stage to keep you interested. Future videos will come more quickly now as it's easier to create videos of footage rather than on the theory behind what I decided.

Ali thank you so much for sharing such detailed explanation of your project. I was about to start a 15 square metre shed at mine and because of your videos I know now that I can build the space I actually need. Do you have any idea what you're going to use as the none compostable material ?
@AliDymock 6 жыл бұрын
That’s excellent to hear! So the thing to know is that it seems to only apply to the side on the boundary so you can use what you like on the rest. There are a couple options, you could use a sheet metal material which looks quite cool in the right setting or a composite material called fibre cement. At the moment I’m planning on using Markey Eternit Cedral click boards, they achieve Class 0 fire rating. Check them out. Hardie have another version but not sure if it has that fire rating. 👍

Quick note on JamesHardie weatherboard. I got some samples. Personally, I like colours; not a big fan of the classic timber cladding type of straight overlapping edges, I wish they were togue and grooved but I thought incase you've only seen them online to let you know that they are incredibly heavy. Don't know, you might have enough muscles for it but it's definitely a no from me! Found some Composit material that I really like, they're green, light weight, tongue and grooved but the fire rating is not an absolute zero I'm afraid so back on the quest for the perfect facade!

Hi Ali, Brilliant videos thank you for doing them! I'm currently in the planning stages of my garden gym room, ive managed to find the span tables for floor / roof joists but i'm struggling with the allowances for the clear span of timber lintels (im wanting a wide bifold door so i need to get this right) would you know where i need to look for this? Thanks Jon
@AliDymock 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Jon, I'm on the lookout for this but so far haven't come across anything that is really definitive. Ultimately if it's a really wide opening then going for an RSJ is likely the best option otherwise the timber header would be so wide as to eat into your door height. At each turn I seem to be pointed to an engineer doing the calculation but surely if we know what the calculation is we can do it ourselves - let me know if you find anything.
@ASHTONLEOKISS 6 жыл бұрын
I’ve been recently digesting you videos again! And I’ve been thinking about the 3m max height. In one of the vids where you show your height you have 150mm for the dense concrete blocks. How does this work with the slope where you have 4 or 5 blocks as this would take you over the 3m max. Looking at doing my own,I have a sloped garden so it’s an issue I will have to deal with. I may end up levelling garden first. Great vids looking forward to next instalment.
@AliDymock 6 жыл бұрын
Good question. Firstly just to be clear the 150mm is more of a recommendation than anything else. For my garden room it's less than that at the back and way more on the right hand side where I have 5 blocks. Secondly, yes that does mean the right hand side is above 3m but as far as I can tell the rules permit you to measure from the highest ground around your garden room. So for me the back is around 2.9m high from ground level. Obviously common sense prevails and if you're build will tower over a neighbour who is at a lower elevation that you, take that into account. The council will only come out if someone complains remember!

@AliDymock 4 жыл бұрын
Essentially - if you want to be totally above board then your best bet is to speak to some building control companies in your area and see what they will sign off. Some are incredibly stringent and ask for fireproof plasterboard, plaster internally and cement board as cladding. Others just the cement board (check out Fireboard or Magply for example). However others will allow a fire retardant sealant to be used on timber cladding so it’s worth having a ring around.

Ali, great videio series. I am planning my new man cave. I get the explanation on permitted spans for the front to back span and have found several span tables on line. Perhaps I am being dim but how did you work out your spans between piers going left to right?
@AliDymock 2 жыл бұрын
Not dim at all, it's a really good question. In an ideal world I would have had 3 walls all parallel to each other to span my floor timbers across. By doubling up the joists at the intersections between block piers I essentially upped the strength to which the rest of the joists attached which worked well but probably not as well as 3 dwarf walls would have. Once you build the walls on the two sides and throw some vents in you essentially have the foundations for a house so doing it the way I did is a bit of a shortcut with lower cost to get a good enough structure on which to build on. If you're having a gym where you'll be dropping weight and for whatever reason can't go with concrete, then I'd probably recommend walls supported each and every timber joist.

Hi Ali, again, thanks for your videos absolutely brilliant. Question on Sketchup, did you use the homebuilder plugin or is there some magic you followed to using the application.?
@AliDymock 6 жыл бұрын
Yeh I thought I might need that plugin but no. I created a wall timber (for example) and then just copied that as many times as needed. Unfortunately you can only use either metric or imperial which makes it hard in the UK! That's partly why I made a rough sketchup only. Anyway, my plans kept changing during the build as I saw it taking shape so my sketchup wasn't used much- a little for calculating how much material I would use and just to give me an idea of what i was going for :) Hope that helps Andrew I'm no expert on Sketchup, I find it all a bit fiddly but it's worth having a basic sketch 👌

So here in Poole, if within 1m of the boundary, the rule is as follows: The definition of constructed substantially of non combustible material for roofs is "pitched roofs with timber rafters and a roof covering of slates, clay or concrete tiles." Flat roofs constructed of timber and combustible decking with felt coverings are not considered to fall within this definition and are therefore not exempt. Bugger....

Thanks very much for sharing this series it has been a great source of information and I am now planning to build my own garden room, if you could be so kind and and help with an answer to my question I would be very grateful, so I am at the planning stage and I want to build a 6m deep x 4m wide room, the garden boundaries are on the long 6m side , so only windows on those sides and the joists would span the 4m sidewalls, my question is can I frame the 4m end elevation to install doors and another window? My concern is direction the joists would be running or should that not matter?
@AliDymock 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! Definitely, you can have windows and doors in the two ends where the roof joists don't run across. If you jump to Part 8 you can see how I framed mine but I put a strong header (a 2x6) above the window and doors but this is really necessary because the sides are not holding much of the weight of the roof, the front and back of the building are so in fact the ends are the best place for windows and doors. You only see it less often due to the shape of most gardens and orientation of garden rooms.
@lenstarpars5213 2 жыл бұрын
@@AliDymockThanks for the reply its much appreciated, yes the shape of my garden makes my design rectangular so the idea of having doors along the 6m side is a non starter and your series of videos and others I have watched always show the widest part of the rooms as the main entrance/exit etc, which gave me cause for concern that this might scupper my design dimensions. It seems then I may have to come up with an idea as to how to disguise the slope of my roof a little or just run with it, but regardless I will be referencing your fantastic series to assist my build as it goes along

I know it's old, but I do have a question....hope someone can answer. I"m also not a builder in any way, so just trying to learn before I do tackle it. In the vid, he said he wanted to use a warm roof, instead of a cold roof. I think he was trying to gain head-space by putting the insulation on the other side of the ceiling. I thought where you lived, determined whether you put your vapor barrier on the inside or outside. For example, in Canada, we can have lots of cold weather. So the vapor barrier always goes on the inside. Warm air in the building > wall board > vapor barrier > insulation > exterior wall. My understanding is you always must keep the vapor barrier between the insulation and the warm side. So if you live in Florida or California, you're running your air conditioners all the time. Therefore, the warm side is outside - the great outdoors and the cold side is inside. Opposite Canada's environment. So.. Cold air in the building > wall board > insulation > vapor barrier > exterior wall. Is all of that correct?
@AliDymock 4 жыл бұрын
That's pretty much spot on! Of course, if you live somewhere with very hot summers and very cold winters, the decision is less clear so you might opt not to have a vapour barrier at all in order to allow maximum breathability - none of which affects the cold/warm roof debate though

Mine was labelled as a workshop/gym. Labelling it a gym is more likely to get you planning permission without raising questions. But to be clear you can put a shower room in without permission I just went for planning for the increased height and they probably would want to know why there was a shower room in there. A habitable space - defo needs planning permission, especially if you're putting in a kitchen

@@AliDymock Thanks for the speedy response. So, as a workshop/gym, if you wanted to use it as living accommodation you would have to submit for planning again?

Yes but it would be as 'change of use'. Some people build first and then change the use as it's often easier to get approval. Depending on what you will use it for you can also be hit with a second council tax bill. If you want to house your mum in her retirement, I'd get planning from the off. Same for glamping or AirBnB. However, if you want to put a futon in for occasional guests and a kettle, well this isn't strictly advice, but I doubt you'd get in much trouble.

I am planning to put an inflatable hot tub in my building. So lots of water vapour being produced. Does hot or cold roof design suit this scenario or does it not matter?
@AliDymock 3 жыл бұрын
Ideally a warm roof is better but if you avoid putting downlights in and do track lighting instead you can get a very good vapour barrier under your joists. Make sure you vent the cold roof above the insulation!

@@AliDymock I am going to go with Warm roof where as I understand it normally the VB would go on top of board which sits on top of the joists. Are you suggesting a second VB below Joists? Is an option/compromise to put it directly on top of joist rather than on the board which is on top of joist?

Do you have to pay council tax since you require planning permission?

Hi, do you know ehat the planni g procedere entailed? Did your neighbours have to consent to the height being above 2.5M? The reason I ask is that I have a difficult neighbour and if the build relies on the fact my neighbour would have to agree to the build I might aswell save myself £190 and just redesign... cheers
@AliDymock 4 жыл бұрын
HI Joe, good question. They don't need to consent but they can object via commenting on the planning portal. That doesn't mean the council will agree with their objections so yeh it is a risk of losing your application fee if you don't get it but getting that extra 0.5m or whatever you're going for is worth it. I know how it is with difficult neighbours so I appreciate where you're coming from.

Cheers mate, yeah I only want to go slightly taller, 2500 is ok for a shed but for an outbuilding it's not enough. Great videos btw 👍

@@joejoejoe451 Agreed! I was thinking of starting a petition to get the height raised to 2.6-2.7m - would make a big difference.
