First get a garden big enough for either, almost impossible with a modern house. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

And entertainment is not the only use of a garden room. Many people have offices or other work rooms. (2) Do you own a summerhouse or shed - many people own both or at least several sheds. Next door has a summer house and a shed. I have a shed and a "Mother of All Sheds" which will be part garden room and part storage and part workshop some time in the future. Potting sheds also seem to have slipped off your radar - somewhere where light and window size are very important. You also ask about number of windows, but give no indication of size. (3) You have B&Q listed twice. (4) You don't give an option for "other store" in your list of places to purchase, just "none of the above". I bought some gardening stuff from Travis Perkins (wheel barrow and a shovel). I bought some gardening tools from Screwfix. There is nowhere in your survey to indicate this. (5) You limit your floor size to 10'*10' - not particularly big for a summerhouse. Not even particularly big for a shed or greenhouse where 8'*12' is a common size. A decent summer house/garden room should be as big an an internal room of a house - at least 12'*12' should be considered, probably larger. (6) Where is "no thank you - I don't want to go bloody miles to a focus group all for the sake of a £20 voucher"? (7) Your final form complains if you don't give a phone number and postcode - even though these are not starred fields. Hint - I would not absolutely trust the values in these fields. All in all, an interesting survey in parts, but not of the highest quality - seriously flawed in many places. No interest at all in customers who might want to buy or do anything outside your very narrow focus, nor why they might not want to buy the variants of the products you are pushing. Surveys should have 'other' boxes, preferably with a comments field, to identify where you have asked questions where there is no correct answer.
