Has anyone had one of these installed, or indeed taken it on as a DIY project?

Thinking this might be our best option as it looks like working from home the majority of days will be the new normal (if you're an office worker like me). Currently me and the Mrs both have a makeshift workspace on the dining room table and in our bedroom but these are far from ideal, with a relatively small house and 2 children (never mind the neck pain).

With no spare room to create an office, and an extension too big a project (practically and financially), I'm thinking a little space down the end of the garden would be ideal, and help separate work from home a little.

Any recommendations?

if I could even get in mine I'd have converted it already!

I built a bar in my old garden. Did it out of timber, but to the spec of an extension with insulation etc and a pitched roof.
Think the regs were that an out building can be 4m high if within 2 meters of the boundary or 2.4m ridge height if it’s within 1 meter of boundary.
I’m sure the max sqm allowed before planning was 40sqm , so I did 39.5sqm.
Enjoyed building it, but it never got used enough, as I like to get away from my house if I’m having a night out.
If you insulate it right it will be warm in the winter, with a blow heater and cool in the summer. If you don’t go heavy on insulation I wouldn’t bother.

You will also need broadband / WiFi.

One more point

How about this for a cheaper option (only good if you have access to your garden for siting it though)

This is the 15' version(thinking both of you using it), but they do a cheaper 10' one too.

tbf with what you save on the build you could turn it into an absolute palace on the inside!
