About
Backyard Studio Lab
The small building at the end of the garden
Backyard studios, offices and workshops: permits, foundations, insulation and what these buildings really cost.
What we cover
Backyard Studio Lab covers backyard studios, offices and small structures. Coverage is organised into 7 sections: Costs, Features, Guides, Industry, Maintenance, Reviews, Rules. There are 73 articles published so far.
How we work
Articles are written to be useful to someone actually doing the thing: specific, checkable, and honest about what varies by situation. Where a piece touches regulated work, it says so rather than implying the reader can skip a professional.
We correct mistakes rather than quietly editing them away. If a correction changes the substance of a piece, the article says what changed.
Following along
Every article appears in the RSS feed, which is the best way to follow the site without an account or a newsletter.
