pretty good price - does the sedum roof complicate the structural aspects of the roof/truss design? My wife wanted that but told her it would add another £10k on

Thanks! no - the ground is firm and I put some french drains in to keep it dry, and since I won’t be driving on it daily, I’m going without a drive. If I need to a may put some of that open mesh stuff down on the grass

I did most of the work myself, took a while to finish though

I put a central support in mine, as I used a pocket sliding door to separate the garage from the workshop, I also used the lightweight sedum solution to keep the costs reasonable...but much nicer than 12m2 of ePDM roof staring at me
