A deeper room for garden kit

Arrange 10 x 8 ft around a working side and a clear access route rather than stacking everything at the entrance. Wooden, metal and plastic buildings feature here, with both roof shapes and overlap or shiplap cladding. Consider an apex when headroom matters, or a pent for a simpler profile. A sound base comes first. The shallower 10 x 6 selection helps you judge the extra depth.

Buying ready-made is about £2,047 cheaper than the materials to build it yourself. Factory-made buildings use lighter framing and thinner boards than a self-build, so building your own makes sense if you want it heavier-duty or a custom size.

The self-build figure uses our standard specification for this type of building, priced from a full materials list: framing, floor, cladding, roof, door and fixings. It excludes tools and your time.

The base you will need

A 10 x 8 ft shed needs a firm, level base at least 10 x 8 ft. Most guarantees depend on it. A concrete slab or paving lasts longest. A plastic grid filled with gravel is quicker, drains well and needs no concrete.
