Building a pool house

The easiest way to build a pool house is with a made to measure kit: every oak or Douglas fir beam arrives cut, numbered and jointed, with a construction drawing. With 2 or 3 people the frame usually goes up in a weekend. Roof, walls and finishing follow.

The steps

1. Design and size: decide what goes underneath, such as lounge, kitchen, changing room and plant. The size is up to you.
2. Foundations: a pad for each post, all level. See veranda foundations.
3. Frame: posts, wall plate, braces and purlins from the drawing, pegs into the pre-drilled holes.
4. Roof: rafters, boarding, fascias and EPDM, or a pitched roof.
5. Walls and glass: timber where enclosed, sliding glass doors where open.
