[Closed] Space in the garden for summer house or sitting area- Ideas please ?

what is the layout of the garden? it looks like it's kind of in the middle but inbetween that base and the garage/outbuilding at the back will be lost space.

could an option be to remove the base and build onto the back of the garage ?

if you are intent on using that base, I wouldn't use breeze block, you'll lose quite a bit of the available space, I would have a look for places that are looking to offload pallets and use them for overlapping wall style

pizza oven ?

its at the back of the garden about 40ft from the house garage is 20ft with space between

pallets tell me more ?

Rather than trying to squeeze it into a space barely bigger than a postage stamp why not either lay decking or make the slab bigger?

If your garden is that big then you can make it bigger, bear in mind 6' is only about a bikes length, that's not much room once you're sitting down and want to move about without squeezing past a divider or falling off the slab.

we have thought about making slab bigger, garden is long but narrow.

You don't have to make the slab bigger to put a bigger deck on it, you could screw the deck down and have a fair bit bigger deck overhanging.

simple if you don't need a fortress or massively insulated, design the space and shape you want, then build a frame with whatever wood is available. Use the pallets for the skin, put the bottom layer on flat first then put the next layer up against the top of the last and the top of the new layer joined to the frame

use google image for ideas, watch the 100k house on 4OD for design on a budget inspiration

just pop the red roofed structure in the background on the slab, job done!

no idea on the structures but if you're going to put anything more permanent than the play house on there I'd replace the two fence posts by maybe putting a concrete spur in the ground and then bolting a post to it - will be a lot easier to replace when it eventually rots.

And then some dweeb complains you've built within a metre of the fence!

Personally I'd put a frame down on the slab, use that as a base for a Man Cave, 8x6, wait for the sales at a decent garden centre for a suitable one. Then, later on, deck around it for seating.
