£1500 DIY Garden Gym & Office | SIPS Panel Garden Room Build

We built this garden gym and office for only £1500. We go through the full process, outlining all of our costs and savings by doing this DIY project.

The garden room is 6x4 meters and build using SIPS panels that we managed to get off of Facebook Market place. It's built on a concrete base making it a perfect gym and office space.
