Garden room how too or Workshop. Erecting walls and putting roof on 

Well this is weird. I’m next door - have been watching this go up - looks great! There were a few nervous eyes on my tree surgeon when he took down a tree very close to the build a couple of weeks ago!

Tolerance is an interesting thing - it will be interesting to see how the industry adapts to fix something that simply has to be correct, absolutely. Great video 👍🏼

That's impressive

I thought yiz were building a hospital, it's so clean, tidy & almost sterile the site 👌😂

Going to be probably the best garden room collection of vids on the tube! Stopped half way through and am going to wait until they're all finished and have a proper binge. Amazing!!!!

Yessssss..... back in the garden room....... been waiting patiently for progress update on this one........ loving the mix of traditional carpentry with gluelams and hybrid beams....... class quality as always...... love the videos Robin - keep.up the good work

Laying it out old school love that Robin brings back memories of working with chippies that layed their roofs out to get the pattern thanks Robin happy days☺

I have enjoyed every one of your videos that are both educational and inspiring. Always impressed by your commitment to top quality workmanship through carefully thought through working methods. The garden project has been a great study in modern building techniques and the superb result speaks for itself. Thanks for imparting so much knowledge with a professional low key and engaging presentation style!

Robin this is real quality stuff, thank you for uploading.😀👍

Great work, Robin. Your projects are so well organized, well thought through and always so professional. I enjoy your channel very much.

Wow ! That thing is huge ! You truly are a master of your craft btw 👌🏼 so much skill and brain power rather than just braun

My favourite channel on RU-vid! Love your work Robin 👍🏻

Great video Robin. I am going to use the gapotape on my extension build. 👍

Looking really sharp Robin. 🤩 Superb.

That kingsway tunnel advert was amazing.

Get a festool hkc with 420 rail and frued 165mm thin kerf 24 tooth blade dnt have to set square or angle just cut Thanks for sharing your a teacher for me all the best !!!

Hi Robin, absolutely love your videos, your my go to wood man, I'm a sparks with level 1 and 2 carpentry and your knowledge and teaching style is second to none, however , my go to plumber,( plumberparts), has just recommended his tape measure, an ox, which i was curious about untill he said his one had a loose end, this is something i often get told, and cant believe tradesmen aren't told why, please can you include a minute or so in one of your supurb videos explaining and showing these numpties why its loose, i think he took a lot of flack over it and quite rightly so. cheers Robin, keep up the good work.

Hello Robin, I absolutely love your videos I learn so much, your chilled manner really helps to get across what you’re teaching. Do you only work on large projects though? I’m going to build a smaller garden room so it would be really interesting to see how you’d approach something like that rather than large projects like this one. Keep up the great videos 😁

Looks like a great product the price of materials are going through the roof!! Excuse the pun..

Good to speak today mate. Catch up soon

Super video Robin! Love your use of the square for this. Whole build looks fun and stress free!!

Hi Robin, great video as always. Interesting discussion about the performance gap for insulation. We don't have much prefab builds in Norway, and PUR insulation (and similar) is almost exclusively used for larger commercial steel builds (stores, workshops, etc), with steel panels on both sides for walls and roofs. A build like this, and residential buildings, will always be insulated with mineral wool (Rockwool, Glava), where the contractor will be careful putting it in not to get any gaps or squeezes between studs and insulation. I've wondered why mineral wool doesn't seem to be much used in the UK?

Good explanations with each part of this build. Really helpful stuff 👍

Great video and content. Please could you improve the picture quality, it will only display 480p. Doesn’t do you justice Nice to see this channel continue, keep up the good work

Excellent video. Would have liked to see the roof being sheeted and covered. Really lovely job

Great video robin, it’s looking fab can’t wait to see end product 😀

That first scene of Robin presenting to camera, with that corner of the garden sloping down, the floor structure (perfectly, of course) level, and the inevitable weird perspective effects of a small lens, made me go all dizzy and disorientated for a while. OK, recovered.

Another great project and some good information on a great product. I'm looking forward to use the tape on future projects of my own. Keep up the great work.

Hey Robin, the only criticism I have is.... plz post in higher resolution! :)

Point load... my god this man is more than half way to a civil engineer. To be honest I learned more engineering from ye boys than my lecturers. In first year our lecturer showed the video of the joist hangers so fair to say ye are probably as qualified in not more qualified than me to do engineering... Great work 💪

Just finished building my garden room - much smaller than this but loved the design and build 👍

You guys are light yrs ahead of construction processes in Australia...whilst prefab frames & trusses have been around sometime on the eastern seaboard (Sydney/Melbourne etc). We are lagging behind when it comes to insulation methods. As far as W.A. (Perth) is concerned we're still building with DBL brick with effectively what's alfoil as wall insulation & nothing under roof (colorbond & tiles) Rant over Troy

I have used Gapo tape after seeing a previous building of yours, I’m currently in planning for a single storey ground floor extension which I’m choosing to steel frame and in fill with timber and PIR, hoping that use of Gapo Tape will allow me to use 4 x 2 instead of 6 x2 timbers. I found with my previous two roofs that I used the tape with, I have eliminated warm air leaking into the underfelt void, it’s time consuming to tape up but so much cleaner In installing.

Great video , thanks Robin

Now that it's warming I'm seeing the layers come off. Show of the guns, Robin

Insulation seems the in thing in the UK now. I remember the attempts in the eighties and the improvements over the nineties. It keeps moving on. In Qld no compulsory insulation until 2000. Even now it is still crap. Don't see the foam panels all still batts. U value requirement not a lot. The excuse it is hot and we don't get cold so don't need anything flash. How wrong. Those eco joists as you call them I used to make them just over twenty years ago on a long press plate and travelling gantry press. Never seen them used as roof rafters but seems like a good idea. Nice and light and you can engineer the span. That panel construction reminds me of the eighties. We used to build kit homes all pre made in the factory. The panels turned up complete with all lintels in. All windows and doors in glazed already. Ply skin on the outside covered with building paper. They sat on a beam and block slab. Fix together. Throw on trusses. Tile and add brick skin. We had to add the insulation. Very similar though.

Look at the size of that chuffing garden!!!

Great video Robin, really enjoyed it!

Think you better get your laser out again that frames going up hill. Lol Great series.

Good job 👏

Lovely work mate👍

sunday morning last week, saturday night this week, do you ever take time off? not complaining though, gives me some stuff to learn during my lunch break so thank you

i love the eco joists, i always wondered what people used for long spans like this. i bet the price to do this with steel would be alot more expensive

Agreed Jason

U jumped off the big build with the scaffolding and came over to this one. This is very nice. I c u put screws in the ground for this one. Thanx for bringing us along. Is there any pitch on the membrane roof? Also, r u going to put an AC unit on top?

Hi Robin, love the Vids, will love the day when you upload the vids at a resolution higher than 480p. Being a pom and leaving the UK when I was 5 years old to Australia, I particular miss the varied shades of green and would love to see a higher video resolution. Yeah I know it hurts the sky rockets but......

Re your framing square fence. Haven't you seen the brass stair buttons you can get ?

Love the videos. How did you protect the underside of the flooring insulation from vermin.

Yes!! Been waiting for this, cheers Robin

Doing it right. 👍

Hi robin, another great insightful video! Always a pleasure to watch. One question I have is did the likes of this garden room need planning perfusion as it’s over 2.5m & within 2M of boundary? Thank you Alexander

Thanks boss

Nice vid, would love to have seen the rim board detail, and the fixings at roof level in general. What kind of roof covering is that?

Now I'll have to build a garden. Any tips on building a garden outside an upstairs flat?

the simpson secret fix , is a great piece of kit , just a wee note to some cowboys out there , DONT USE DRYWALL SCREWS TO FIX THE PLATES

When will your framing square be available??

Did you ever take a picture of the finished job, be great to see

My mid 80's home in US flyover country was build with metal web joists. So far they seem to be getting things done. I installed a physical cabled data network, phone cable, and coaxial connections to each location i wanted to and the web joists were a huge advantage to getting the install done quickly. Also, Glulam vs. LVL? Winner? Or builders choice?

Nice work Robin. Iv been considering a milwaukee framing gun, notice you have one kicking about. My paslode 350 needs renewing and I'm considering going gasless and I run all milwaukee kit. What's your opinion.?

makes me wonder with all these engineering solutions for wood working is there a danger of the old skills being forgotten about

Hi Robin,love the videos,you should do quick tips videos showing all your jigs,tips and tricks from the longer videos.

Garden rooms bigger than my flat 😂

Fantastic Robin, how do the people you do work for find you. Is it all word of mouth. 😀👍🏻

Robin, absolutely love all your videos true master of the trade. Seen you using a few different cordless circular saws, whats your favourite the hikoki or the milwaukee?

The garden is huge it must take the homeowner ages to walk back to the toilet lol

Couldn't you have measured the length of the brace on the first "triangle" you drew on the board (at 3:50)? Just measure between the 1,4 and 2,1 marks?

This looks a very high spec build. I presume from its size it's beyond the scope of permitted development. Are you going as far as building regs to get maximum usage out of the room?

#team RC

👍🇮🇪🍀👏👏 good one

Why 480p video? Its still cool and great videos but just wondering. a squared plus b squared = c squared in a right angle triangle. 2.1 x2.1 + 1.4 x 1.4 = 6.37. square root 6.37 m= 2.524

Fantastic content as always Robin. I’m a huge fan and watch everything you produce - coming from a place of support and not criticism- i think it’s time to get a better quality camera. The quality of your content will be enhanced hugely and can be achieved for less than £750. I am sure Dylan and Roger could help. Again, please take this from a supporter and not criticism 🙏🏼

That's some size of garden(and garden room). What's the gen on the walls? Just buy them in premade like that?

Awesome work. Magnificent erection, not often you'll hear that from another guy! Keep up the good work RC, really enjoy the content.

Great Job, when can we get our hands on the square?

Where did you get the insulation wall panels from? And were they custom made for the job? Also was the damp proof membrane added on by yourself or added by the manufacturer? Thanks for the help and info.

Hi, great videos, could I please ask you? Where do you get the panel walls and metal web joists from?

To do build one yourself what would be the rough cost of materials?

Question, watching you talk on the garden, I noticed the fence appeared to be taller than 6 foot, how did they get away with that?

Great videos as always do you design the buildings yourself if so what software do you use?

what's the name of that tape that you're using?

Thanks for another great video rob. Where is the new apprentice? Did you rissole him already 😂

Gapotape is £95 for 50m for 100mm pir and 50m would do 7 sheets I would say when more manufactures make it it might come down in price

How thick are your firing strips Robin , I thought it would be 25mm for every metre in length, yours dont seem that thick or maybe it's just the camera angle .

Another great video Robin but the 480p picture quality is pants, your previous videos were 1080p.

Does the glulam not need to be treated like the rest of the timber frame?

That's looks very expensive

👍

Trapezoid roofing is ya answer brother

How are the prefab walls fixed into place

They look like Posi Joists rather than Eco Joists.

Main question is if I was to have one of these build roughly around 20ft by 12ft how much roughly will it cost me for everything??

What’s the roof covering Robin?

Was it not possible to order the joists with the furring already installed?

Without compromising insulation/U values

Could you be so kind as to spell out the name of the timber?

DIY question, but how would you fit a 6 m strongback to the posi-joists when you might only have 4 m clearance either side of the structure? Can strongback be cut down??

I’m building a new house, where can I buy gapotape as my building supplier has not heard of it

Are there restrictions fixing into the gluelam posts or are they just treated as a big lump of timber?

The link for your store isn't working pal

hi is the square for sale yet ? thanks
