Traditional Mail: We can send a hard copy of your garden studio/home office plans with all the instructions, material lists, cut lists, etc… and you'll still have access to online tools like an assembly video, ask an expert and more. Shipping and handling charges cost $50 for delivery by mail (typically 4-5 bus. days), or $95 for FedEx over-night.

Readying a Site for Your Garden Studio

The spot you ultimately choose for your studio depends on your needs, taste and property. Do you want a peaceful retreat, hidden from curious neighbors? Or a showpiece to make them green with envy? You'll need to consider the foundation for your studio as well. Patio stones, set solid with crushed limestone, can be effective. If you're going to be installing plumbing for a sink, toilet or shower in your backyard studio, learn more about foundations.

Will You Need a Building Permit?

Size will dictate if you need a permit for your studio. Anything over 100 sq. ft. will likely require a building permit. Check with your local building permit office. This library of regional listings may well have the number of the office you need to contact. In addition, concerns over renting studios as apartments have caused some areas to implement special requirements when plumbing and electrical are installed.

Getting Someone Else to Build it For You

If you're not that handy, or are short of time and want to hire a contractor, we suggest that you consider a Summerwood studio kit. Our studio kits are available in pre-cut, or pre-assembled formats.
And if you'd prefer to have someone else build it, just one look at your studio kit's labor estimate is all it should take a good contractor to give you a quote. View the home studio kits here.
