The supply of tea bags and Lion bars is an absolute genius idea ! It just shows the level of detail that has been taken into account.
if Infomercials had a red carpet hollywood award cremony, Roger would need a tuxedo to collect all the skill builder golden oscars
True!
I wouldn't agree with that comment. Stop brown nosing.

TY Premium all the way. No adds
Hi Roger as a British builder myself I love using the same roof system here in Thailand so easy to use and very strong product. As always I just love your videos no matter what your doing. Keep up the great work. 👍 🙏🙏🙏
What would make this an even better garden room is, add integral solar panels to the roof panels, with the addition of factory fitted led lighting, run cables in channels out to corresponding wall channels, add a small battery storage/inverter to one wall panel and Bob's your uncle you have an off grid garden room... So easy! If only!
Except that in the winter, when you need the most power for light and heating, there’s not enough solar …so it would be a waste of money
Doors would be a good start.
@@nickwalmsley8909just like the ones at the end of the video?
@@kensladenif it's well insulated it will need very little heating. 5.5m x 3.3m is 18.15m². Solar panels are already over 100 Watts per meter, 18 x 100+ Watts is 1.8kW.. So it's almost a 2KW roof. Should be enough to heat this well insulated room. Solar is improving all the time. Have you seen the new slates that are all solar panels that link together? They are of the Tesla solar roof and storage kit. Marques Brownlee, the famous KZheadr, did his house with the Tesla kit and 3 batteries. After a year he put out a video. He now draws zero electricity from the grid over a year. Just from his roof. There's a new solar charging car being launched this year. It can charge up to 20 miles a day in UK/Holland, 30 miles in Spain. And it costs only £6,000 new. Only a tiny 2 seater. But still 20-30 miles of free fuel mileage a day on a £6k car is astonishing. Obviously car rental companies are queuing to buy them.
Thanks for sharing Roger, looks like a great product, and expertly assembled.
Great modern build! I will look into these! You are the best Roger!
I've just helped a friend put one of these up, this video proved invaluable thank you! here's some observations that may help anyone else looking to build one: The head beam is an absolute nightmare to get on, it took 3 of us about 2.5hrs using a process of clamping, bashing and running scrapers up the inside to stop it catching on the insulated panels. The rivet gun absolutely kills your hands, getting one with longer handles is a must in my opinion. When the roof panels seat together they look like the should fit flush but they actually stop about 1cm off each other leaving what I assume to be a ventilation gap running the whole length on the inside, this freaked me out for a bit thinking we had done something wrong but you can just about see them in the video. There is seemingly no way to fit the roof panels without getting them covered in bitumen while positioning them because you have to feed them backwards, then forwards. On the kit we fitted the header corners were mis-labelled but it was obvious how they went on due to the angles.
Hello Chris The thermal insulation looks fine, but how good is the sound insulation? I am often on conference calls and I want to ensure I minimise the noise coming through the structure. Would appreciate any information you or your friend could provide.
@@jatindersehmbi6239 Yeah sound insulation is pretty good although this particular office is right next to a railway line! theres nothing that can fix that haha
@@theinsulatedpanelstore4740 Hello, I am 'the friend' - I'll send some photos no worries. I bought the building on the back of this video and we referenced it quite a lot during the build. Overall I'm very pleased with the building, and the customer service from you guys was great. It did take 2 seasoned DIYers more like 3 days to complete however (including fitting the door). Mine is on a timber base, if I was doing it again I'd lay a concrete one as balancing on the joists and noggins made everything harder with the build, especially lifting the roof panels into place. The header part was an absolute nightmare, I thought we'd never get it on to be honest. If the header had gone on before the door flashing things may have been simpler perhaps, as you end up with a big bow in the doorway which doesn't help things. If we'd have had some kind of prop for the door space it might have gone more smoothly. The floor is a very tight fit - best to use a pull bar like the sort you have when fitting a laminate floor, to tighten the panels up - otherwise the last panel wont fit.Its also really difficult to fit the floor without scratching the walls. Now its all done it looks great, It is also extremely warm in the building, even without heating. Pretty impressive.
Hi @@mttshw. What’s the internal finish like & is there any option to plaster it? I assume any electrics would need to be surface as mounted as it is.
@@Denboydeus the inside of the panels are white metal - I’ve left mine like this and ran a conduit around the bottom for plug sockets and things. Wiring for the lights is also in conduit mounted to the surface - it looks fine for an office. You could baton and plasterboard if you wanted, and put the wiring behind, I’m sure it would look good - but I had no need to.
Your videos are getting better and better. Thanks Roger!
Glad you like them! These videos take a fair amount of setting up
was watching this while building a LEGO set - couldn’t help smiling at the comparison. No tools needed for my build, and it also wasn’t affected by weather 😅
Nice video Roger, I've been looking at these and they look like a good solution to what I'm after. What would you advise around getting electrics into the room and also finishing the internal walls?
Exactly how I made my pond, coldstore panels, solid as half buried plus it's insulated too.
amazing, looked for years at pre fab and self build in both timber and brick etc.. This saves weeks of work and i dont actually think that much more in cost if at all. And even if a couple of K more would be worth it for the zero maintenance and excellent aesthetics. I am ordering one for sure.
Great video Roger! Very helpful. Just taken delivery of the same model. Interesting to see they have taken note of what you said with the hand riveter as the one I received with the kit was type you recommended.
Really like this one Roger (and team) this is a winner everytime
Roger- you are one of the very few tradesmen I would trust to do a job for me. I do almost all my building work myself.
Wow. you trust someone because they made a video that depicts how simple something is when it can be edited to fuck, its content like this that makes people assume that work can be done at a click of the fingers, it’s also pre made and there’s probably more than two guys doing this... and if they got it done in a day they have earned more than a day rate to do the job. It’s mis informed, to make these guys look like they are doing something that others cannot. It’s a good idea don’t get me wrong... but in reality you’ve got something that was put up in a day, and what do they say about Rome? This is modern and cheap methods being applied... no one is going to look at it in 30 years time and see a structure worth keeping, chances are it will be gone by then... because it’s a shed. And as a carpenter and joiner of nearly 20 years I can tell you it is not a nice looking shed either. Stop believing these people and do some research, maybe you’ll see there’s more to everything than what you see from who you think you can trust
I agree it’s somewhat agricultural looking
Great garden room, brilliant video - thank you
Nice build Roger !!!! Great video !!!
Looks the biscuits bub and so handy put together looks like it will be nice and warm 😊
What a legend builder very professional videos are great to watch!
I build these for a living, base is always installed a week before we get there but generally it a day to get them water tight then finish rest of week with running electrics, cladding depending on finish either plasterboard or standard finish but there not a bad building to put up 👍
hi..do you have a contact number or email/website as im looking for someone to build this for me :)
Any contact details?
how sound proof are these? how to they compare to normal wooden fully insulated garden rooms? thanks!
Your an amazing instructor clear concise simple lovely to listen and follow
Thank you! 😃
I watched 'The restoration couple' channel. They used this on there workshop timber frame and cladded over, it looked very nice
Oh wow this is a briliant product. I have never seen
Are rivets the only way to create a tight fit? It makes it impossible to disassemble the box. Also, the panels are a nightmare to recycle because the insulation is glued to the metal and the plastic. Also, there's no prefabricated cutouts for plumbing or wiring. The total price of this build is around 15K and I find that an awful lot of money for what you actually get. Having said this, your video is still very helpful. It's important to know what's on the market. What doesn't work for me might work for someone else.
A modular building for gardens 👍 I build modular temp schools and accommodation. Great idea but hopefully the prices reduce for homeowners
brilliant video thank you! Hadn't seen modular rooms before
Hi Roger. Could you do a video on externally insulating a brick outbuilding but cladding with wood rather than plaster
"A man who follows instructions". Now that is a rarity. 😉
I am very impressed with what you do. cool to be able to build that in one day.
Wow that is awesome product!
brilliant install
Another great Video, be nice if they did one that would fit a snooker table in. Looks a really neat solution
thats absolutley brilliant and something I think I could do with my wife, we are looking for something like this for our hot tub.
i sense a divorce could follow soon
Absolutely amazing 🥳🥳🥳
Brilliant find this mate
60 seconds = 1 minute.... 60 minutes = 1 hour..... 72 hours = 1 day...... 😁 Nice job fella's, well done 👍
That made me laugh. And 'man days' is also a measurement of time. Recently working on a refit in London. Left work on Friday, came in Monday morning and 2 large entrance halls had been tiled in Large format porcelain tiles. Looked nice. Asked site agent how long it took. One day he said. I asked what time did they start. Started at 6 am, finished at midnight he said. How many men i asked. 8, he said. So, 18 hours, multiplied by 8,= 144 hours. 1 day 👍👍👌👌
@@tilerman 😆😆😆 "man days" to right...... it's like the old fishing stories "I caught a fish thiiiiiiiiiiiiis BIG"..... yeah right mate 😒😁. The only reason I watched this video was because of the headline.... bloody clickbait...😁.... Thanks for sharing Busyboy 👍👍
Those are pretty badass if they are steel clad.
LOVE IT VERY ELEGANT VERY STABLE....T.Y...GOD BLESS I WANT ONE IN THE FUTURE....
Great vid and great bit of kit!
Nice video Roger. What’s your opinion on these garden rooms in regards to damp etc? Are they a good idea in the UK?
Nice Job Roger.
Always lovely to get a DIY tutorial by Jason Statham
Maybe a small vent would be a great add on to high on one wall. Easy to add later.
Long time follower of the channel love the content .. you are my go to guy on KZhead for all DIY jobs . I've been scrolling through you're videos and can't seem to find anything for the specific job I'm looking to do now . My window sill . Think it's sand stone but not entirely sure is in bad shape bits have come off in front on top and underneath but I feel it can be saved .. so my question is to you have any advice on how to repair a crumbling window sill or do you want to come to Wexford Ireland to shoot a video 👊🏻🤣 . Thanks again .👊🏻🇮🇪
Very cool system!
It's brilliant
It’s almost like building a large walk-in cold room freezer with a glass front.
Those roof panels look really interesting, save having to do joists and boarding etc, but I'll have to try work out if it's cheaper - they're very expensive!
Can you believe it. A KZhead advert that may actually make me buy something
Hi folks, Great job, Just wondering what is the maximum size you can go up to without planning permission. Thanks
Looks great,would also like to see it with some electric in place Roger.
These panels are great we use something similar made by Kingspan to build clean rooms for manufacturers/ pharmaceutical companies.
Love your videos nice and relaxed
Box clever! 📦
Super!!!👍
Amazing review. 😍
Hi roger another good video just one thought did they not send butyl tape for roof joints to stop water tracking through joint
How are these kitted out for electric / plumbing etc?
That's awesome, what a great idea and product
Great video and looks really good!!! If this was within a meter of my boundaries does anyone know if this would be classed as non combustible as its over 15 square meters?
I wonder if they make something like this in the states. I’m going to have to look into this. Great video!
Interesting video with some great tips. The Lion bars are a nice touch, would be even better if they were the white ones 😂👍.
One day! Awesome. That's why you call yourself as Skill Builder :)
Great looking product, will the foam off gas or be fireproof?
putting chocolate in the instructions to get me to open them seems like an amazing idea but I can't tell if it was meant as a joke :D
Great project! I only miss the electric installation. Does it come with something pre installed or prepared?
No you have to run power and lights
My experience in a conservation area is that you ask if you need any permission and they tell you they don't know and that you should pay a fee to find out. Figure that one out! Job looks great Roger. 👍
Govt legislation requires LPAs to charge a fee to issue a certificate of lawfulness (ie to confirm in writing if permission/consent is required). It’s a legal document and advisable to avoid ant future problems/challenges.
Best not to ask
would it be possible to use this as a house extension as well ? seems well insulated comes with a roof and everything, looks sturdy enough for at least 20 years
How much do you charge to put together??? I love this unit!!!
If only these were for sale in Canada, I would be all over this.
Buenísima aplicación en todo Felícidades!
It would be interesting to see another one on the electrical installation.
I was wondering about this also. Maybe the first fix is carried out as its assembled.
I also was wondering about that.
I might be wrong but it looks like recessed electrics would be almost impossible in this style of build so you would probably need to run all the wiring surface mounted in conduit either PVC or Galvanised steel for a more industrial feel. Lighting would be tricky too. Recessed Downlights would be a nightmare so some kind of surface mounted LED fitting would possibly be best. These kind of kits save DIYers a lot of money until they have to get electricians involved. 😅
I had a quick look at the website, and there does not seem to mention electrics or lighting. Strange
@@artisanelectrics ✌️What electrics would be needed? with such a well insulated building probably only lighting, perhaps a few cables for computers etc. Unless using for accommodation, but then it’s not sold as accommodation it’s sold as a garden room.
Genial saludos cordiales desde Patagonia Chile..
I love this! Is there a distributor in the USA? Or any companies that you might know of here, that sell similar kits? I'm located in northern California
What they don't tell you is that even if the concrete base is of level by the slightest amount, and off square by so little, it's a nightmare when it gets to the last third. I've been doing sectional timber buildings for 23yrs. And it still amazes me what some people expect there new buildings to site on. And all there doors and windows to close absolutely fine. I must admit it looks very,very well done 👏
I did talk abou the importance of the base. A good laser helps.
Very good skill and finish. In US, we do have prefabricated kit like you have. We will need building permit to do electrical work to build any out door Tom.Thanks, for your video demonstration.
what is the name of the company that makes something similar in the US?
Please do share the name of the US company
Yep I’m wondering too
That’s pretty cool, looks just like a cold room.
Excellent tutorial thank you, how would one hang a TV or a air-conditioning unit or is it not possible, can you get one so you can have a separated storage room Thanks.
I like the all in idea, only but that niggles me is it would be good if the tools were and optional purchase, bit more eco friendly that way if you already have some or all of the tools already
No paint or treatment every 2 /3 years saving time and money. How much would the door set be ?
How much was this kit room ?
Hello! thanks for the video and help building our own! but I would like some information...! Where could I order such a house so that I can build it myself! thank you if you are kind enough to tell me!!
Sir this is awesome ❤ kindly may you guide how may I get one for myself please
Thanks for sharing, Was it only super glued to the floor or did you use bolts? How much does a project like this cost?
You can see from the video that we bolted it. There is no superglue involved. All the details are in the description below the video.
how do you get electricity into it and run wires around it?
Who makes those wall panels, and of what materials are they made?
Beautiful! How much is the cost of kit? Size of this?
Roger how much would you charge to come and build it base etc?
How much cost for this model? Have supplier in Malaysia ?
Great video really helps but just be aware different sized rooms have different overhang on roof 😀😀
I need a spare garden room....do I go for log cabin or garden room? What is your suggestion Mr Roger!
I guess it’s battened out then dry walled for wiring etc? Cheers
Wow , nothing for protection before putting the ( U - shaped ) side panels down? Just simple used little tape on the wet floor?
I built a garden room with the intention of having a nice, quiet relaxing chill out zone. A place where i can wind down after a busy day, to light an incense stick, a place to contemplate and to work out the meaning of life. What's it all about, egg or chicken first if you like. Instead it's full of offcuts of timber that i'll never use, gone off bags of cement, a 3 legged dining table, a broken washing machine, various obsolete electrical good's, my warped vinyl collection, and 2 spare wheels for a Mk3 Ford Cortina ( a car i sold 28 years ago).
This is why poor people like us remain poor, and the rich get richer. They just think and act different. They think before they act. Poor people go out spending and wasting money for things they will never use. Or if they ever use them, it will be seldom. I myself have been contemplating building one of this to use as a gym but when I do the math, it just doesn't make sense. I can pay 30£ a month for a gym subscription and the gym is just 6 minutes drive, fully equipped with a swimming pool as well. Now compare that with spending 20£K and some change for a garden room, if you include the electricals and the gym equipment. It makes no sense. The 20£K goes a long way in paying off my mortgage or investing in something else where my money can grow. Of course I don't mean this if you are a millionaire and have enough money to waste. But if you are not, then it is a real financial illiteracy if you spend this much money for something you don't need or which you can get as a rental at a much cheaper price. Don't get me wrong brother, this rant is aimed at myself as well coz I am by no means a millionaire and I've been tempted many times to get one of this, but thankfully so far I have been able to overcome my temptations.
@@malanjinho8548 - I think a lot of people are using them as an office to work from home especially during the pandemic, that way I suppose it makes sense as it might eventually pay for itself.
@@jmk1962 agreed. If you're gonna make good use of the space, it makes a lot of sense.
Roger, I’ve built several garden office/workshop/offices using the same materials for the roof alone, in timber you’re looking at three - four weeks from slab form to finish. Heating is a doddle, I use mine as a workshop (6 x 4M) and only have a small fan heater to take any chill out of the room in the winter, my neighbours one (7 x 4M) I used electric underfloor heating laid in the floor levelling compound then underfloor heated suitable laminate flooring, these rooms are extremely efficient and more people could build these themselves especially using your method. Your welcome to come and see what I’ve built as I’m only in Ruislip. I’m building another as a favour for a friend in the coming weeks in Rickmansworth and then another for myself in Dorset later this year. Like you said, check planning restrictions but mostly can be built without planning permission, but always best to engage the neighbours first, you may even be asked to build one for them like I have.
what sort of cost was this build, material wise?
hi looking to get one but wonder how to run electricity in them, sorry if you mentioned it and i missed it
I want one
One thing bad with this design is the trays that you sit the walls into. Any rain that runs off the panels can run into the trays. Only for that issue it is a pretty cool design.
That is what the drainage gaps are for
Anyone know of American company that sales those roofing pannels?
