eBook
With the 2m x 2.5m Garden Office Pod Sample Plans Package, you get a PDF copy of the Fifth Edition of the Self Build Garden Room Guide eBook. We have recently updated the book with news of innovations in the garden room industry and details of materials which are used by professional garden room designers.
The Self Build Garden Room Guide is an essential companion to our sample plan sets, giving you more detail on materials we mention throughout the plans.
Set of Sample Plans
Since the Coronavirus Pandemic, more and more people have been asking us about building a small garden office pod. One that doesn't take up too much space in the garden - not much bigger than a garden shed! A design for one person to work comfortably, all year round.
We have designed a 2m x 2.5m garden office pod that is 2.5m high, meaning it is Permitted Development friendly.
The sample plans look at the build-up of a well-specified, insulated, timber frame garden pod. The 118 pages, look at each stage of the build-up.
The sample plans will give you insight into the construction of a 2.5m high garden room, even if you are planning on building a different size building, they will give you valuable insight to design it.
Material estimates & costings
The sample plan set comes with a spreadsheet where we have estimated the materials and costs for the project. We have also added an overview list of materials which you could use for pricing your own project.
The spreadsheet also includes a comparison of the self-build costs with those of buying a similar specification garden room on a full-service basis.
Cost comparison
We have compared the estimates to build each garden room with the costs of buying a comparable specification building on a full-service basis.
Material & cost estimates
We have estimated the materials needed from the measurements on the plans and costed them out.
Material list
From our estimates, we have totalled up the materials needed for each garden room specification to create a handy shopping list.
Layered SketchUp models
With the 2m x 2.5m Garden Office Pod Sample Plans package, we have included the layered 3D models we used to create the plans. These models can be opened and played with, in SketchUp for Web the free version of the popular software used by garden room designers.
You will be supplied with two models used to create these sample plans. One has the scenes from the sample plans which you can explore in more detail. The other, allows you to turn different layers on and off and tweak the design as required.
These models are valuable as you can explore and measure aspects - even on your phone via the SketchUp Viewer app.
You can even edit these models to modify the design to your liking.
Fully layered models
These are the models we used to create the sample plans. Each element is on its own layer so you can switch layers on and off to explore the build-up further.
Explore different elements
Scenes have been used in the model to give you easy to access snapshots of the build-up.
Check measurements quickly
You can use the dimension tool to quickly check measurements.
