A beach hut in your garden!

The brightly-painted British beach hut is as essential to the British coast as sandcastles, deckchairs, flimsy windbreaks and ice cream. In recent years the growing nostalgia for these popular little buildings has made them rocket in price.

But if you have the space in your garden, there's is little to stop you from building one yourself. These attractive extensions to your living space can be used as a workshop, study, office, changing room (if you have a pool—and even if you don't).
In fact, there are even commercial uses such as entry kiosk, site office, snack bar, storage, shop ... and many more possibilities. And they are so much more delightful to look at than a plain old garden shed, and are generally sturdier.

This little book includes a plan for a typical promenade design of approx. 12 feet long and eight feet wide, with pitched roof and covered veranda. The design uses strong methods of construction and can be tailored to suit your own sizes.

With cutting and materials lists, suggested tools and over 100 illustrations, this is a must-have for anyone who fancies a touch of the seaside at home.
