Also, would anyone like plans? If enough people ask in the comments, I will create detailed garden room plans to follow and build your own.

Thanks for these videos, you've done a great job documenting and explaining - on a par with Ali Dymock for clarity. 👍👍

Thanks, glad it was helpful

Thanks - great video.
I'm thinking of doing similar with SIPs. Given British weather, where in your build design do you consider the structure weather proof? Do you need the cladding fitted to be water tight or is the breathable membrane enough to stop any damp. I suspect SIPs are more susceptible to getting wet than the OSB in yours? I'll also need advice from the SIPs folks as to whether I need any more support than the SIPs themselves for a roof.

The cladding is needed

[@rjdek]

Would one layer of battens either vertical or horizontal be sufficient?

[@thediyfix]

potentially you could have one layer of battens if they are verticle and your cladding is horizontal.
In my build the vertical battens allow you to run wires behind the horizontal battens and then cladding can be fixed vertically.
I hope that makes sense

Hi, what dimensions are the battons?

[@thediyfix]

They are treated battens. 38x19mm

[@mattburrow7735]

hi, where did you get the breathable membrane? Does it need to be added to the floor also?

[@thediyfix]

I believe I got the membrane from Wickes. It was much better quality than the one at Screwfix. I didnt add it to the floor just walls and ceiling
