In this series I'm taking you through how I am building a sound proof drum studio / garden room in my back garden. In this video we go step by step through how I have built the concrete slab which will form the base and foundation of the garden room. We will cover digging the hole, added crushed hardcore, sand, damp proof membrane, PIR insulation, A142 mesh, cable ducting, the concrete pour, levelling and anchor bolts.
