Taking delivery of a timber garden building

If you have concerns over delivery, then this video guide could help ease any doubts. GardenLife deliver all our garden buildings flat packed and rapped in weather proof plastic sheeting. Our lorries are fitted with cranes and we can therefore deliver as close to your build site or foundations as possible (placing items over walls or fences if access is limited).

Fitting purlins and roof boards to a building

If you’re building a summer house or timber garden building yourself, you will need to position and fit the structural purlins to add rigidity and strength to the roof. When the purlins are level and flush you can then fit the roof boards; a process that takes the build a step closer to weather proofing your garden building. Watch this video from GardenLife Log Cabins to find out how.

Adding insulation and floorboards to a  building

If you want to keep your garden building warm throughout the colder months you will need to add insulation between the floor joists and securely fit the boards over the top (making sure you leave a gap to allow for natural movement and expansion of the floorboards). You can see how straightforward this is in this video guide.
