GardeningThoughts Ltd is pleased to announce the addition of a garden building base preparation guide to their online shop (http://www.gardeningthoughts.co.uk). The guide is free and offers guidelines, hints and tips on construction as well as planning permission and is essential reading for anyone planning to erect a garden building.

In the words of Simon Darter – Director, “The guide, which is free, means DIY enthusiasts don’t have to worry about the added cost of erection charges.”

First of all the guide gives specific details on the key components of a garden building including log thickness, foundation, roofing, flooring, doors, windows, treatments and assembly.

The guidelines then go on to describe the various methods that can be used when constructing a suitable base, and therefore eliminating the risk of problems with garden buildings that can be experienced due to poor foundation preparation.

Finally, the guide gives advice on planning permission and the possible implications of erecting a garden building with regard to listed buildings, conservation areas, green belt areas, floor area, building height and percentage of grounds to be covered.

“The information given here is just a guide, and not a definite list of all situations where planning permission may need to be obtained. Building regulations also vary from area to area. Although the Wessex Range complies with the rules in most areas it may be wise to check with your local authorities,” said Simon
