Parents save £11,000 by building amazing home lockdown gym with bits from B&Q and local scrapyard
A COUPLE have built an amazing home gym during lockdown - saving £11,000 by picking up bargains from B&Q and their local scrapyard.
"We initially looked online at pre-built ones and they were ridiculous prices ranging from £5k up to £10k for the same sort of height and size. Some summer houses range up to £12k!"There wasn’t really a huge drawn out plan. We discussed it and came up with a shape and style. We measured as we worked.
"Together we agreed on the size and height and we made it fit specifically to our garden. Andy wanted to make sure he could fit all of the gym equipment he needed in there. "Building this in lockdown gave us a welcome distraction from all that was going on outside our home, especially for Andy being a very busy key worker,” Jodie adds.
