Case Study of the Month
March 2025CS54207 - 20ft cladded garden room
It's hard to believe this building started out as a used 20ft shipping container! With a smart set of patio style doors, lined with wood on the inside and clad on the outside, it's not only a handsome devil but cosy to hang out in. The trend of having a back garden "hang out" is increasingly popular and can be used for anything you like, including leisure and work space, a gym, yoga studio or social space - add a bar and you will never be more popular! This building is divided into two sections, a small area for outdoor storage and larger area for social and leisure activities.
Take a look at some of the most engaging work we have undertaken in
recent years. With detailed pictures, a step by step guide and a deep
insight to many projects, our case studies cover a range of applications.
