Use a narrow strip for essentials

Six by three feet suits a side passage or a small garden where width is limited. The metal and plastic choices are mainly pent-roofed, with some apex designs, and selected models include a floor. Think vertically: long-handled tools can follow one wall, leaving the entrance usable. Measure the route to the site as carefully as the footprint. If you need room for a work surface, see the wider 6 x 4 selection.

The base you will need

A 6 x 3 ft shed needs a firm, level base at least 6 x 3 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.
