Shed in garden for studio

mag

Circumstances are dictating that i move my studio out of the house.
Has anyone here any experience/advice with building something in the garden to accommodate a studio?

I dont really want anything too big (10ft x 10ft is plenty), or permanancy isnt a big deal as id say we'll be moving on within the next few yrs.

With these 2 things in mind im considering either a wooden or steel shed, something like this -

wood - http://www.johnstownconservatories.ie/garden_sheds.htm
steel - http://www.calnancontainers.ie/garden.htm , http://www.candssheds.ie/prices.htm, http://www.johnstownconservatories.ie/garden_shop_items/garden_furn_2.htm, http://www.clanesteelgardensheds.ie/

Im on a pretty tight budget though so wood may be the preferred option.
I would plan batten the walls & roof and use rockwool insulation and double plaster-board along with doubling & sealing the door...hopefully this would keep most of the noise in.

Thats my vague plan but i would really appreciate if anyone had advice to offer.....

Doper Than U

I remember having a studio in the back garden when I was younger, I'll ask about the constuction when I go to my parents house. It was block, I remember that much. There were also carpets on the walls inside for soundproofing. I think they were staple-gunned on. Oh and window was double glazed, obviously.... umm, I'll think of more stuff later...

I've built one - PM me if you want to come take a look. It's a separate building to the rest of the house and I'm very pleased with it. There's a couple of very minor things I'd do differently if I was re-doing it (not likely!) mostly around wiring.
