"Iain,
Yes 255 weeks ago, according to Instagram."
is the answer Mark Rodway gave me when I asked how old his garden studio is.
I asked because in the photo - his 9' x 9' QC with a flyover roof, looks brand new - it looks like it's just been installed. It was installed May 2011 so the weeks pass by and Marks studio still looks great.
Try achieving this "brand new" look with a timber garden studio that is over 5 years old and you'd be looking at lots of painting or staining.
