Wendy House for Building a Studio

Hi

Kinda need some input on this suggestion.

Does anybody think it is a good idea to use a Wendy house to build a studio?

My concerns are:
-The zinc roof (makes LOTS of noise in the rain)
-The temperature (does it get HOT in there...what if I put Rockwall etc on it...will i be fried like Kentucky Fried Chicken lol)
-The sustainability and maintenance (varnishing...will it rot in years to come because of weather elements)

The other option is just build a room but that will take me years b4 I get my money right for that. Or headphones and laptop...lol

Thanks

I value my equipment a lot more than my lawnmower, so I'd never leave it in a little garden hut.
Apart from that, treating a wendy house will cost you just as much as treating a normal room. And those flimsy walls are going to stop hardly any sound at all.

Point taken.

I value my equip more than my rusty screw driver too.

Apart from buiilding a room to do a music studio, and the wendy house option, are they any other alternatives?

(Garage is out of the question...parents dont want me to use it lol...reaallllllll dragg...)
