Good (cheap!) garden office companies

Hi all,

We are planning to put up a building in our garden early next year. It will be used by our children (pool table etc..) so needs to be fairly warm/have electric lighting etc..

We are looking for it to be around 16ft (w) x 12ft (d) and simple rectangular with a slightly sloping rood (not keen on traditional summerhouse log cabin styles). We have been looking at Dunster house but I've read some horrible reviews of them, both on here and other forums - so I wonder if anyone can recommend anyone else? Ideally we want to spend less than £8k (we can install it ourselves).

TIA!

    I can highly recommend Booths Garden Studios but they cost more than the OP wanted to pay. Also you can't erect it yourself (at least you couldn't when we bought one) http://www.boothsgardenstudios.co.uk/prices/

    We paid just under £8k (excl electric connection to house) for a 12' x 10' (QC loline studio) 2.5 years ago but they've changed the sizes and upped the prices a bit. Great service and great studio. We use it as a play room and are in it in all weather.
