Garden Gym. Mr & Mrs G contacted Garden Retreat to design and install a multi purpose building to include a garage and garden gym. One end can be converted to a garden room or garden office and the other a wooden garage, so here is what we did……….
FINISHED GARDEN GYM
BEFORE PHOTOS
THE BUILD
This garden gym is constructed using 100mm x 38mm timber framing clad with tanalith BS8417 shiplap, bitumen paper and 4mm plywood lining. This garden building, has 300mm lined overhangs all round with guttering and down pipes, the eaves height on this garage combo is 2.3m and has a black up and over door, double glazed French doors and 2 side lights.
This garden building has many uses, either a garage, gym, home office or garden room all it needs is a partition and can be insulated, this has been left to the customer to decide.
The standard covering for the roof is felt tiles or a metal roof with underfelt, however the customer has opted for Tapco Slate which is a popular additional option and will last for 50 years!
One concern for a number of customers is the damp proofing. When the sections are bolted through the single course of bricks into the concrete base the timber clad runs 50mm down the outside of the brick. In addition to this the vapour barrier also runs down the same distance ensuring no rain water can get into the building. One further measure is a DPC is attached to the bottom rail of the section which sits on the top of the brick and stops any moisture in the brick rising up into the timbers.
