Why a garden workshop
Room to make things.
The mess, the noise and the tools stay out of the house, a few steps from the back door.
42″ doors
Double doors open to 1,067mm: wide enough for a workbench, a sheet of ply or a bike.
Daylight
A row of windows down the side, so the bench sits in good light.
Walls to use
Bare timber walls and studs to fix a tool wall, shelves and brackets to.
Tomorrow
Order by 2pm and it's normally delivered free the next working day.
Which shed suits
A bench, a workshop or room for machines.
All three have 42″ double doors and windows. Prices are for the standard building.
A hobby bench
A bench under the side windows, a tool wall and a few shelves. Room to work at the bench, and the lowest price.

Windows along the 12ft front for a long bench, with floor space behind it for a saw or a pillar drill on its stand.
Check the headroom. Our Apex Sheds are 2,285mm high in the middle and 1,757mm at the sides, so the bench goes along the side wall and you stand at it. The Pent Shed is 1,887mm at the front and 1,757mm at the back. Measure tall machines and long timber against those.
Layout ideas
Ideas for fitting it out yourself.
We supply the building. The bench, tools, shelving and electrics are yours to choose.
A bench under the windows
Run the workbench along the side wall under the windows, so the daylight falls on what you're making. On an apex the windows are down one side; on a pent they're along the front.
A tool wall and shelves
Pegboard or a French cleat rail across the studs keeps tools where you can see them. Shelves underneath take boxes, jars of screws and paint tins. On an apex the back wall is the tallest.
Bikes and the mower by the doors
Keep the space just inside the doors clear for anything that wheels in and out: a bike on a wall hook, the mower on the floor, garden tools on a rail above.
A machine corner
A pillar drill, bandsaw or mitre saw on its stand goes in a corner, close to a wall and away from the doors. Keep heavy machines near the walls rather than in the middle of the floor, and ask us about anything very heavy before you order.
Storage up high
Long lengths of timber can sit on brackets fixed to the studs along a side wall, up and out of the way. On an apex the side walls are 1,757mm high inside, so keep the rack below that.
Upgrades that matter
For a building you work in.
Prices for the 8×10 Apex Shed. Other sizes are priced on their own pages.

A coloured finish for the outside cladding, so the workshop suits the garden. Re-coat every two to three years.

Good to know
Garden workshop questions.
Do I need planning permission for a garden workshop?
Usually not. In England, a garden building is normally permitted development if it's single storey, behind the front of the house, has eaves no higher than 2.5m, and is no more than 2.5m high overall if it's within 2m of a boundary. Together with extensions and other outbuildings, it can't cover more than half the land around the house. Using it as your own workshop is fine; running a business from it, with customers or staff visiting, may need permission. Listed homes, conservation areas and National Parks have tighter rules, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own. If in doubt, ask your council.
Does it need building regulations approval?
Not normally. In England and Wales a detached garden building with under 15m² of floor area and nowhere to sleep doesn't need building regulations approval. All three sizes on this page are well under that. Any electrical work does still have to meet the regulations.
Can I have power for tools and lights?
Our buildings come without wiring, sockets or lights. For power tools, speak to a registered electrician: power to a garden building is a new circuit, and it needs fitting and certifying properly. Tell them which machines you'll run so the circuit suits them.
Will the floor take heavy machines?
The floor is 24mm nominal (18mm finished) pressure-treated boards, the same on the Standard and Heavy Duty specifications. We don't publish a floor-load rating. Build it on a solid, level base, keep heavy machines near the walls rather than in the middle of the floor, and stand them on a board to spread the load. If you're planning anything very heavy, check with us before you order.
How does it lock?
The double doors hang on galvanised T hinges and close with a press lock and turn buttons. If you'll keep power tools or bikes in there, fit a good padlock and hasp of your own, and check your home insurance covers what's inside.
Will a workbench or a bike fit through the doors?
The double doors open to 42″ (1,067mm) wide. Measure the narrowest side of the bench, machine or bike against that. Inside, our Apex Sheds are 2,285mm high in the middle and 1,757mm at the sides; the Pent Shed is 1,887mm at the front and 1,757mm at the back.
When will it arrive?
Order by 2pm on a working day and it's normally delivered free the next working day to the UK mainland. It comes on a pallet to the kerbside, and we confirm the day by email before it sets off.
Who builds it?
You do: it's designed for DIY assembly, with numbered panels, every fixing and a step-by-step guide. Most sizes take two people half a day to a day. We don't offer installation.
