I found an excellent educational video showing how those on low incomes can gather low cost reusable materials from local businesses & online marketplaces to contruct a simple DIY 6m x 4m garden room for £1500
For those with a bigger budget, this is one of the other best videos on how to Build a garden room with no building skills at all! Insulated metal clad panels build pack with FB info support group
1st draft of a UK-specific, practical emergency hardware kit you can assemble in advance to protect windows and doors by securing plywood, OSB, or even detached fence panels to external walls when a severe storm (up to ~120 mph gusts) is imminent.
Below is a UK-specific, practical emergency hardware kit you can assemble in advance to protect windows and doors by securing plywood, OSB, or even detached fence panels to external walls when a severe storm (up to ~120 mph gusts) is imminent.
I’ve included:
What the kit should contain,
How to estimate fixing quantities per window,
Optional but highly recommended extras,
Guidance on using fence panels as a last-resort material.
1. Core items for the Emergency Window-Protection Hardware Kit
A. Wall plugs (for masonry fixing)
Type: UK brown (7mm drill) or blue (10mm drill) masonry plugs.
Strength: Choose high-grip, anti-rotation types.
B. Exterior screws
Type: Normal screws or ideally A2/A4 stainless steel or exterior-grade coated wood screws (to avoid snapping under load or corroding).
Length:
For 18mm plywood/OSB → 5.0 × 70 mm screws
For fence panels (25–45mm thick frames) → 5.0 × 100 mm screws
C. Penny washers
Large diameter: M5 or M6, 25–30 mm OD
Washer spreads load, stopping the screw head pulling through under suction loads.
D. Drill bits
7mm and 10mm masonry bits (match your wall plugs)
3–4mm pilot bit for pre-drilling the wood panel
E. Driver bits
PZ2 and PZ3 impact-rated bits.
F. Seal/anti-lift tape or foam
Used to:
Reduce panel rattle
Reduce wind getting behind the panel
Suitable materials:High-tack exterior duct tape
EPDM window sealing foam strip (self-adhesive)
G. Marking & measuring tools
Sharpie or lumber crayon
Tape measure
Masking tape (to label panel/window locations)
H. PPE
Safety glasses
Dust mask
Gloves
Ear protection (drilling)
2. Estimate: Amount of Screws & Wall Plugs Needed (for 120 mph gusts)
Load assumption
Storm-rated boarding in hurricane regions uses 6–8" screw
spacing around edges.
For the UK, 120 mph gusts are extreme, so
we use hurricane-standard density:
Recommended screw spacing for plywood/OSB panels
Every 150–200 mm around the perimeter
Every 300–400 mm on internal lines (if panel is large)
Minimum 12 screws per typical window board
Typical UK window sizes
Let’s estimate for 3 common types:
Window Size |
Typical board size |
Screws per panel (120 mph spec) |
|---|---|---|
600 × 900 mm (small) |
One sheet |
12 screws |
900 × 1200 mm (medium) |
One sheet |
16–20 screws |
1200 × 1500 mm (large) |
One sheet |
24–28 screws |
Whole-house estimate
Assuming an average UK 3-bed semi with ~10 windows:
3 small windows → 3 × 12 = 36 screws
5 medium windows → 5 × 18 ≈ 90 screws
2 large windows → 2 × 26 ≈ 52 screws
Total: ~180 screws + 180 wall plugs + 180 penny washers
Add a 20% safety margin:
Pack 220–240 plugs, screws, and washers.
Screw sizes to include
150 × 5.0 × 70 mm screws (for plywood/OSB)
100 × 5.0 × 100 mm screws (for thick or warped fence panels)
3. Additional Structure-Saving Items to Include
1. Heavy-duty straps or ratchet straps
Useful for wrapping around large panels or awkward openings.
Also allows securing fence panels without relying solely on screws.
2. Timber battens (optional but helpful)
25×50mm or 38×63mm battens
Can be screwed over the top of panels to clamp them tightly to the wall
Great for fence panels which may flex or split
3. Silicone or exterior caulk
For sealing large air gaps where wind might get behind a panel.
4. Spare pilot screws
Small screws (e.g., 4.0 × 40mm) to temporarily hold panels in place before the main fixings go in.
5. Battery backup & chargers
Fully charged spare drill batteries
A manual screwdriver in case power tools fail
6. Weatherproofing
Exterior-grade tarp for emergency covering
Sandbags or water-weight bags to reduce uplift around doors
4. Using Garden Fence Panels as Emergency Boarding (when materials sell out)
Fence panels are not ideal but can work in emergencies if reinforced.
Tips:
Remove the decorative slats if possible—use the solid frame.
Pre-drill through the thicker frame sections only.
Use longer 100 mm screws.
Add battens across the back to stiffen weak areas.
Use straps if the panel is too large to safely screw in many points.
Fence panels can catch the wind like a sail—so prevent gaps on all sides.
5. Full Recommended Emergency Hardware Kit (UK)
Fixings & tools
240 × wall plugs (brown/blue heavy-duty)
150 × 5.0 × 70 mm exterior screws
100 × 5.0 × 100 mm exterior screws
240 × penny washers (M5/M6 × 25–30mm)
Masonry drill bits (7mm + 10mm)
Wood/pilot drill bits
Exterior duct tape
EPDM foam sealing strip
Ratchet straps (2–4)
25–50mm battens (6–10 pieces)
Permanent marker
Tape measure
Safety gear: gloves, glasses, dust mask
Manual screwdriver + impact driver bits
Spare drill batteries
Optional
Tarp, sandbags, caulk
Below are three printable items you can copy/paste into a document and print:

Subject: Preparing Communities for Climate Change, Economic Insecurity and AI-driven Job Disruption through Practical, Scalable Solutions from Cabinz CIC
Subject: Preparing Communities for Climate Change, Economic Insecurity and AI-driven Job Disruption through Practical, Scalable Solutions from Cabinz CIC
Hello,
As we face three of the greatest challenges of our time—the accelerating consequences of climate change, the transformation of work due to artificial intelligence plus automation and increasing global economic and political insecurity.
It is vital that we begin preparing resilient, community-based solutions for stronger shelters now.
Cabinz CIC, an eleven-year-old social enterprise based in Saltney, Flintshire, is developing scalable, low-cost strategies to help communities adapt. We are in a unique position today as we have secured access to thousands of metres of clearance stock insulated metal panels (IMPs) for £8-£18 a metre.
These are from a Flintshire building company, which alongside millions of high-quality, low cost screws and fixings from Cabinz cics' own stock, enables us to deliver practical solutions to DIY simple shelters affordably and at scale.
We would like to highlight key initiatives we have worked on for several years:
1. Stronger Affordable Shelters
We are working with local allotment groups in Flintshire and Cheshire to create fire-resistant, storm-resilient shelters using IMPs. Recent events, such as the Chester Whipcord allotment fire, show how vulnerable current wood structures are.
By supplying clearance stock materials at a fraction of their usual cost, Cabinz CIC is working to provide DIY kits for community groups, small businesses & DIY'ers enabling them to build durable garden rooms, workshops, and recreational facilities as well. These shelters will better withstand storms, fires, and other climate-related risks. They may also be used for civil defence (see point 5)
We are researching and encouraging others to build shelters in these designs, though some may need development and prototyping :
(of course they can build a rectangular one from a £100 build pack from Garden Room Guru
who have just offered a nice alu frame garden room base)
2. Larger version of a H4 Hexayurt
3. Arched shelters from wood / scaffold tube / gas pipe hoop / frame like this chicken coop one we supplied materials to.
4. Safe T Home® cylindrical shelter of corrugated sheets based on grain silo design
5. hexayurt walled shelter with a flat roof
6. Dual Pitch roof shelter with 4m height to roof.
7. Rectangular shelters using IMP panels then with trellis made from wood battening angled to deflect wind, forming a hexagonal overall shape
2. 'Gap Rooms' Storage & Reuse Infill Development prototype will be filmed by..
Garages across the UK are overflowing, often preventing effective reuse and recycling. Our proposal is for modular storage rooms, built using pallet racking and covered with insulated panels, to be installed above passageways or at the side of buildings. These structures could:
Free up garages for active use,
Support reuse initiatives by providing secure storage,
Incorporate water-harvesting systems,
Blend with local architecture through finishes like brick veneer or wood cladding.
This design not only supports sustainable living but also helps families and small businesses manage limited space more effectively.
3. Building Resistance Matrix Programme (BRMP)
The BRMP is designed to reinforce and insulate vulnerable buildings, sheds, greenhouses, and animal shelters, making them more resistant to floods and high winds.
By leveraging our vast supply of affordable fixings and reclaimed materials, communities can cost-effectively strengthen small but vital structures—reducing risks of damage and protecting food security through flood-resistant raised beds.
These practical steps can form the foundation of a larger national resilience effort, helping the UK to prepare not only for extreme weather but also for the socioeconomic shifts that automation and AI will bring. By equipping communities with affordable resources and practical designs, we can support cottage industries, reduce waste, and promote self-reliance and self-employment.
By creating wider access to low cost premises at scale, mental and physical health will be improved.
4.DIGRS Project DIY very low cost insulated room dividing / shelter Mk 1 panels to save energy in the winter / reduce heat in summer
Cabinz are working with Vinay Gupta, Inventor of the Hexayurt emergency shelter to produce prototypes of external shelters with IMP panels and internal room dividers using the Hexayurt taping method with foil backed panels available from Secondsandco.co.uk . Cabinz Cic has previously produced prototypes of insulated panels from wood battens and fabric joined together with low cost tools and a variety of insulation (see link) as part .
Panels can be used to make small indoor shelters as well as room dividers. Trellis and green walls can help insulate external walls. Panel offcuts can be used to make animal shelters or security / storm shutters.
5. Civic Protection and Emergency Community Shelters
We are working on a national project to design and produce internal and external storm and security shutters made from Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs), with the option to add solar panels for renewable energy generation.
Small garden-rooms built from insulated metal panels (IMPs) can serve as above-ground refuges or safe rooms and used for normal purposes. Because they are lighter and simpler than traditional masonry, they can then be converted with external protection layers (sandbags, soil, or concrete) to resist storm winds debris.
We have donated tools and medical equipment to Ukraine and researched protective shutters reusing materials. In a war zone, such rooms can provide safer shelter than staying inside a brick house, where bricks may become lethal shrapnel in a blast or missile strike.
Larger community shelters could follow a similar principle using prefab kits to create semi-underground or fully underground bunkers on public land. These can be cheaper, flexible, and allow self-build for groups or municipalities on a budget.
A relevant demonstration (on protective layering of structures) can be seen here:

Appendix: Alternatives to Garden Rooms and Modular
Buildings
If AI disrupts employment and incomes
collapse, garden rooms and modular buildings are one of the strongest
solutions — but not the only one. Alternatives include:
1. Tiny Homes / Modular Micro-Housing: Stand alone
micro-houses produced from timber, SIPs, or shipping containers.
2.
Community Land Trust Housing: Cooperative low-cost housing, replacing
rent with contributions in labour or produce.
3. Shipping
Container Conversions: Durable, portable, but requiring
insulation.
4. Earth Shelters / Natural Building: Cob, rammed
earth, or straw bale construction, labour-intensive but low cost.
5.
Community-Scale Shared Facilities: Dormitory-style living with shared
kitchens, workshops, and gardens.
Garden rooms and modular
buildings stand out because they combine affordability, speed of
deployment, resilience to weather, and flexibility of use.
Our Request
We ask for your support in:
Recognising these initiatives as part of local and national planning for climate resilience, affordable business premises and civil defence.
Helping us connect with councils, housing associations, and community groups who could benefit.
Exploring partnerships to scale these solutions more widely.
With access to affordable, durable materials, Cabinz CIC can help communities build resilience, support reuse, and prepare for the future of work in a changing climate.
Thank you for considering these proposals. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can collaborate with government, councils, and businesses to make these ideas a reality.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Ridley

Proposal to provide low-cost loans & targeted grants for storm shutters (including insulated metal panels and roller shutters) and roof “hurricane” tie-downs — fast, affordable, high-impact resilience for households & small businesses
Executive Summary
Hurricane Melissa has highlighted the growing intensity of Atlantic storms, with experts linking these events to climate change. In the UK, the Met Office warns of increasing risks from high winds and extreme weather. Installing storm shutters — including modern insulated metal panels (IMPs) and roller shutters that double as anti-burglary and energy-saving devices — together with roof hurricane ties, offers one of the most cost-effective means to protect people, property, and small businesses.
We recommend a national and local scheme of low-cost loans and means-tested grants, using proven models from the US, Australia, and New Zealand, to make these upgrades affordable and widespread.
1) Why Now — Evidence & Urgency
-
Recent Event: Hurricane Melissa (Oct 2025) caused devastating damage across the Caribbean, underscoring how climate change is driving stronger storms.
-
UK Outlook: The Met Office warns of increasing storm intensity, coastal wind events, and rainfall extremes across the UK. These will threaten homes, businesses, and supply chains.
-
Cost–Benefit Evidence: Studies from the US and Australia show that retrofitted shutters and roof tie-downs significantly reduce storm damage. These measures pay for themselves in avoided losses within a few years, and can also lower insurance premiums.
2) What to Promote — Simple, Proven, Affordable Resilience
A. Dual-Purpose Storm Shutters
-
Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs)
-
IMPs are strong, pre-fabricated panels with a steel or aluminium exterior and rigid foam insulation core.
-
When installed as external storm shutters or fixed panels, they provide exceptional impact resistance, thermal insulation, and enhanced building security.
-
They offer dual benefits: storm protection, energy efficiency, and anti-burglary resistance.
-
IMPs can be manufactured in the UK, stimulating local fabrication and construction supply chains.
-
-
Roller or Security Shutters
-
Tested for debris impact and high-wind resistance, roller shutters remain the most widespread solution for windows and doors.
-
They double as security shutters, preventing break-ins and reducing insurance claims.
-
Combining roller shutters on openings with fixed or hinged IMP panels on larger glazed areas or vulnerable façades gives a comprehensive protection package.
-
B. Roof-to-Wall Connectors / Hurricane Ties
-
Simple metal connectors that fasten roof trusses to wall plates to prevent uplift in high winds.
-
Very low material cost, simple installation, and proven effectiveness in hurricane and storm zones worldwide.
C. Package Design
A “Home and Business Storm Protection Kit” could combine:
-
IMPs or roller shutters for windows/doors
-
Roof hurricane ties
-
Optional storm-door reinforcement kits
This offers layered protection with minimal structural disruption.
3) International Models
-
Queensland, Australia — Household Resilience Program:
Offers grants covering up to 80% of costs for cyclone shutters and roof tie-downs. IMP-style insulated shutters are an eligible material due to their dual energy and cyclone performance. -
United States — FEMA & State Programs:
Programs such as My Safe Florida Home fund storm shutters (including impact-resistant metal panels and roll-down systems) and roof anchoring. -
New Zealand — Regional Resilience Funds:
Provides targeted support for home-hardening and hazard mitigation using similar, low-cost retrofit models.
4) Proposed UK Scheme
A. Funding Model
-
Means-Tested Grants: Cover up to 75% of retrofit costs (up to £8,000 per property).
-
Low-Interest Loans: 0–2% APR for remaining costs, repayable over 3–7 years.
-
Full Funding for Critical Infrastructure: Small care homes, GP surgeries, community hubs, and SMEs vital to local economies.
B. Procurement and Local Jobs
-
Councils and combined authorities to bulk-procure IMPs and shutters for cost savings.
-
Partner with UK steel and panel manufacturers to promote domestic production of insulated storm shutters.
-
Train local installers and small contractors to carry out installations safely and consistently.
C. Regulation & Insurance
-
Engage insurers to offer premium reductions for properties with certified shutters or roof-tie upgrades.
-
Consider temporary council tax rebates for early adopters.
5) Estimated Costs
| Measure | Typical Cost (per property) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Roller or security shutters | £2,500–£6,000 | Depending on number/size of windows |
| IMP storm shutters (fixed/hinged) | £3,000–£8,000 | Higher strength & insulation; longer lifespan |
| Roof hurricane ties | £300–£1,000 | Depends on roof structure |
| Total (combined) | £3,500–£9,000 | Average for semi-detached or small business unit |

Building Resilient Communities in the Age of AI and Climate Change through Stronger Shelters
Briefing Document
Building Resilient Communities in the Age of AI and Climate Change through Stronger Shelters
Executive Summary
Artificial Intelligence is accelerating structural change across the global economy. Millions of jobs will be displaced
in the coming years, undermining wages and the ability of households to pay rent or mortgages. At the same time,
the impacts of climate change – including stronger storms and energy instability – are intensifying pressures on
housing and community infrastructure.
To address these challenges, this briefing sets out the urgent case for:
1. Large-scale deployment of garden rooms and modular buildings built from insulated composite metal
panels.
2. Expansion of reuse and repair industries, supported by decentralised workshops.
3. Integration of garden rooms and modular buildings into agricultural and rural development strategies, to
secure food supply and strengthen local economies.
1. The Case for Garden Rooms and Modular Buildings
Affordable & Lower Cost
Stronger & More Resilient Withstands winds up to 150 mph.
50% lighter than brick/concrete – portable and redeployable.
Multi-Purpose & Adaptable • Housing: Affordable living spaces.
• Work & Enterprise: Home offices and workshops.
• Emergency Uses: Housing, storage, civil defence.
• Agriculture & Food Supply: Installed in allotments and farms, supporting food secur
Energy Efficiency U-values as low as 0.13 W/m²K (vs 0.45–0.60 W/m²K for single-skin builds).
2. Reuse and Repair: A Critical Economic Sector
• The UK produces 22 million tonnes of household waste annually, with only 44% recycled.
• Repair and reuse industries could capture an additional £7 billion annually in retained value.
• Repairable goods sent to landfill include:
– 1.4 million tonnes of electronics.
– 336,000 tonnes of textiles.
Many of these activities can be carried out in garden rooms and modular buildings, helping people generate
income without reliance on commercial property.
3. Policy Implications and Leadership Role
Support for Mass Production: Encourage local manufacturing of insulated composite panels and streamline
planning for garden rooms and modular buildings.
Integration into Resilience Planning: Pre-deploy modular units for emergency housing and disaster relief;
include them in local climate adaptation plans.
Agriculture & Food Security: Install units in allotments and farms to reduce crop losses from poor storage.
Reducing post-harvest losses by 10% in the UK could feed 2 million more people annually.
Promotion of Reuse & Repair: Support training and community-led repair enterprises; councils can provide land
for garden rooms and modular workshops.
Conclusion
The combined pressures of artificial intelligence and climate change require urgent adaptation. By investing in
garden rooms and modular buildings, expanding reuse and repair industries, and supporting food security
through agricultural deployment, we can:
• Provide affordable housing and workspace.
• Strengthen climate resilience.
• Ensure a more secure and sustainable food supply.
• Build local economies based on reuse, repair, and self-reliance.
This is not a matter of luxury – it is a matter of foresight, preparedness, and responsibility.
Appendix: Alternatives to Garden Rooms and Modular Buildings
If AI disrupts employment and incomes collapse, garden rooms and modular buildings are one of the strongest solutions — but not the only one. Alternatives include:
1. Tiny Homes / Modular Micro-Housing: Standalone micro-houses produced from timber, SIPs, or shipping containers.
2. Community Land Trust Housing: Cooperative low-cost housing, replacing rent with contributions in labour or produce.
3. Shipping Container Conversions: Durable, portable, but requiring insulation.
4. Earth Shelters / Natural Building: Cob, rammed earth, or straw bale construction, labour-intensive but low cost.
5. Council-Supported Land Allotments: Councils offer land for self-built shelters, combining housing with food production.
6. Community-Scale Shared Facilities: Dormitory-style living with shared kitchens, workshops, and gardens.
Garden rooms and modular buildings stand out because they combine affordability, speed of deployment, resilience to weather, and flexibility of use.

We are now selling a large stock of insulated metal panels (IMPS) in 2 grades £18 and £8 a metre 1-6m long x 1m wide - 45mm to 120mm thick
Clearance of new old stock insulated metal panels (IMPS) from Tata Steel and other manufacturers in large quantities if required .
contact : cabinznet@gmail.com
These are new, old stock from overstocks and off cuts of larger orders in 1 to 6 metre lengths and thicknesses of 45mm to 120mm.
The panels are available in roof type (with ridged profile one side ) and wall (flat both sides) usually 1 metre wide (+ overlap for roof type)2 grades.
1. Lower grade is £8 a metre, and will have some dents/ marks / discolouration wear (see photo).
The lower grade is best used with an internal 4 x 2" wood frame as edge dents may stop panels joining tightly together to form a structure strong enough with panels on their own.
2. Top grade is £18 per metre and is mostly like new, though may have light scratches/ marks
They have been stored outside, so will have marks and may need cleaning / jet washing. Roofing Tek screws and other hardware also available at discounted price.
Footings, corner & roof flashings may be available as well as local delivery
Buyer collects or local delivery may be possible after buyer inspects & pays. Profits goes to support local community groups.
We are working on build packs so people can build their own with panels and flashing kits.
