Foundations

There are a few options for the foundations of any garden office with concrete bases or wooden frame common options. We chose to use ground screws which are effectively giant metal screws which go into the ground and the wooden structure is then built on top. The main benefit in our case was the speed of installation....a single day by a third party. They are also very environmentally friendly and allow airflow underneath the structure.

To ensure it was simple to attach the SIP's panels I also constructed a wooden frame. An alternative option would have been to bind the SIP panels directly to the top of the metal screws, or simply insulate the base wooden frame with the appropriate thickness insulation panels.
