Very useful. Prices could do with being updated more regularly but I accept that this can be a difficult and lengthy process. Plans work well in conjunction with the website.

Clear, well thought-out garden room plans that are genuinely practical to follow. Everything is laid out in a logical order and feels based on real build experience rather than theory. On top of that, the customer service was excellent and very helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone planning a DIY garden room.

I thought this was a great idea. I was a complete novice at building anything but the plans had details drawings, instructions and a parts list. Lots of lessons were learnt along the way and a bit of frustration. But on the whole I loved this project.
