We started the project in the middle of August and although that makes it sound like a very long time frame to finish off a shed, it's more than just a shed. Most of the work is also almost exclusively done over the weekends only and there were weekends too that we didn't do anything to it at all. Plus, with the ever-shortening length of daylight, it makes it harder to do anything after work hence weekend becomes the only suitable time. Grass Grids services in the UK. The quarantine pond within the shed was mostly built last year but we opted to add a few more blocks later on to make it deeper and hold more water (and more fish). Our Grass Grids services are on top. The final layer of blocks was cemented in last weekend. Going back in time, the decking that was on the top patio (where the sunroom is now) has been reused and is now the flooring of the shed. When we restarted the project in mid-August the framework of the shed went up quickly and was finished in one weekend. T...

If you are after a garden office on wheels but are not so keen on the shepherd's hut aesthetic, The shedbases Company could be right up your street. Based in Llanbrynmair in Wales, they are keen on sourcing local materials (Welsh roof slate, Welsh-made Chilli Billie Penguin stove, locally sourced timber, and sheep wool insulation). It's first model - The Snowdon - can be moved around easily (though is not really for road towing - they are working on a new model called The Hafren which will be) comes on a steel chassis with twin axles, a mezzanine (one of the Shedbases staff's favorite features), veranda, decking, and the usual electrics. Optional extras include curtains, sofa bed, and kitchen. There's a nice gallery of pictures at their site here. An interesting post by Paul Ockenden on Alphr on this question that crops up again and again in which he looks at various ways of getting your shedlike atmosphere digitally wired. Here's the scenario: Frank's offi...

According to a new survey of 3,000 chaps by National shedbases Week sponsor Cuprinol Sprayable as reported in The Sun (as they put it 'Wood you believe it?'...), over a lifetime, the average man spends just under a year of his life in his shedbases or to put it another way, three hours and 20 minutes a week. The survey also revealed a tenth of them have a sofa and television inside too. No survey yet on how much time women spend in the shedbases. Perhaps we should commission one? The Governor General’s Medals in Architecture are awarded by the prestigious Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and recognize outstanding achievements in recently built projects by Canadian architects. Among the winners, this time around is the marvelous Craven Road Studio by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects. Here's what the Institute says about it: "This urban studio building was designed for study, display, and storage. The bright space receives indirect illumination through a system of nar...

Your garden needn't be enormous for you to include an outdoor room. For best results, place it so that it can nestle between trees, or train climbers around it, and ensure that its construction allows for lots of natural daylight. It needs to be well insulated if you're using it all year round, but make sure that its doors can be opened fully so that you can enjoy the warmer weather if we ever have it. My wife and I are expecting our second child in September, Since we moved into our house four years ago I have had to move my office from a spare room to the dining room! Now we are expecting a new arrival I had no option but to review my working situation. I am an IT Consultant and Website Designer and as such have a lot of paperwork and need access to it easily. My options were to rent an office which was just too expensive to think about and as I spend a portion of my time on-site with clients so I wanted something that would not feel like a waste of money. We have a decen...

Our Shed Base is only available to order online or over the telephone. All orders received are picked, packed and dispatched from our distribution warehouse located in Chesterfield. We aim to dispatch all orders received before 12 pm on the same day, orders received after 12 pm will be dispatched the following working day. Orders placed over the weekend will be dispatched on Mondays. Orders typically take 3-5 working days however this may vary over public and bank holidays. First of all, always remember that placing the base too close to any walls, fences or other objects may cause problems. Some sheds have overhanging roofs, which could also prove a problem. The same goes for trees, large bushes or major plant life. Branches are likely to grow and come into contact with your structure, so do your best to avoid these when building a shed base Delivery Terms Interlink will attempt to make the delivery within the allocated time slot. If you are not around to accept the delivery ...

More and more we are seeing issues with a shortage of groundwater on the one hand and flooding, on the other hand, all because water is unable to permeate into the ground due to an increase in paved surfaces (concrete, tiles, paving blocks, etc.). We have the best professionals in Gravel Grids . This is why the Flemish Region has introduced stricter legislation on precipitation, effective since 1 January 2014: precipitation/rainwater must either be collected in a rainwater reservoir or be allowed to permeate into the ground. Grass grids and gravel sheets allow you to have a water-permeable surface, therefore allowing water to readily permeate into the ground. This prevents both a shortage of groundwater and prevents flooding, all without having to invest in a costly drainage system. This also reduces our ecological footprint and prevents the limitation of natural habitats. WHY ECCODAL GRASS GRIDS? ECCOdal grass grids are made from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), this allows them t...
