A long run for tools and benches
Twelve by six feet gives long items a natural home along the walls, leaving the middle clear for moving and sorting. The range is mainly wooden, with overlap cladding and either apex or pent roofs. A potting bench can turn one end into a useful gardening station. Check that the long-side access and base suit the plot. For a wider working room, look at 12 x 8 ft sheds.

Buying ready-made is about £1,828 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.
Price a 12 x 6 ft shed in the builderThe base you will need
A 12 x 6 ft shed needs a firm, level base at least 12 x 6 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.

Planning permission and Building Regulations
- Most garden buildings do not need planning permission in England and Wales if they are behind the front of the house and, with any other outbuildings, cover no more than half the garden.
- Within 2 m of a boundary the whole building, base included, must be no taller than 2.5 m. Further away, the limit is 4 m for an apex roof or 3 m for other roofs, and the eaves must stay under 2.5 m. Check the height on the product page before you order.
- At about 6.7 m², a shed this size is exempt from Building Regulations as long as nobody sleeps in it.
