Summer house/garden room

jeff_chandler

Good morning all. 

I have been looking for a garden room/summer house for a few months and decided I would like one.
 I have been looking at a few companies who sell them and manufacture but I'm now baffled. I have come across the different types of thickness of the T&G to different roof covers. I live in Greater Manchester but the ones I have seen and been quoted are either down south or too far east to go and look before I buy. Prices vary, no doubt quality comes first. 
Has anyone had a summer house from a certain company they'd recommend. I would want it erecting as being a pensioner would be too much for myself.

86-year-old parents had one she was really pleased with and they erected it. It certainly wasn’t cheap but she decided at her age she might as well buy what she really wanted.
I’ll try and ask her who she had it from - I know the garden centre, but it is a company displaying there so they are probably travelling further afield

Go local. Pick 19mm+ T&G and avoid felt roofs, choose EPDM or metal

Make sure it has decent levels of insulation and is built on a really solid base.

I bought a nice garden room to use as an office at home last year. It was delivered within 10 days and i got it built by the company i bought it off too. No doubt you could find cheaper but I wanted the easiest option, not the cheapest. I got mine here: https://www.greenhousestores.co.uk/Garden-Rooms/ 
I had to call to get an installation quote, but it was easy enough.
