Yes along those lines, wasn't sure if that was big enough or would need to go 152x152. Wow, better get plenty of weetabix in

Sorry, meant to say would try and use 5x2 or 6x2 across the halved length of 2.75m,, (into the steel each side

I have a garden room that will span 4.5 x 5.5m. Currently going through PP to try and get up to 3m height. If that fails I'll make do with the 2.5m allowed height but would like to run a steel beam across the 4.5m width to halve the 5.5m length and use smaller timbers. I've been told a 6 inch...

Thanks, yes, that's what I was getting at. Also that way the front of the shed wouldn't be quite a way off the ground. Just worried I'd create some kind of pond doing it like that

One last question if like in that drawing I've attached, I dig down the 120 mm difference from high to low point. Will the build height be taken from the highest remaining point or is this frowned upon by inspectors. Plan to build on concrete blocks and then a raft, so would pooling at the base...

OK, so my phone plan would not be allowed. That's that then, I'll apply for PP. Thanks

I'm in the process of trying to build a garden room within PD and I'm going around in circles trying to get sufficient head here right. I've got one last hope othwrwise I'm going for PP. The room will be 5m deep and 4.5m wide. The plan is to use 7x2 along the 4.5m span. First question would...

Trying to get walls as close to 1m from boundary as possible, so roof overhang if at 300mm would be 700mm from boundary but if overhang is irrelevant I'll be fine My understanding is anything under 30 sq m doesn't have to comply with building regs, if 1m from boundary. Garden is 40m long, so...

Apologies, meant to put in the measurements. So I've allowed from ground up 50mm gap underneath floating rafts 125mm floor joists 18mm osb 12mm flooring 13mm plasterboard ceiling 195 roof joist (if going 4.5m span) 100mm firring for fall 18mm osb So 531mm, less the 2.5m and my head height is...

I'm in the process of designing a garden room and would really appreciate some help. I plan to build it with 4 timber rafts bolted together and sitting on concrete blocks. . Garden is long and narrow, so planning 5.5m front to back and 4.5m wide. So max span of each individual raft would be...
