Keep a compact shed organised

A 6 x 4 ft shed rewards tidy planning: put frequently used tools near the door and use the remaining wall for shelves or a potting bench. Wood, metal and plastic give you different maintenance and appearance choices, with apex roofs more common than pent roofs. Some include a floor and security features. Set the building on a prepared base, and read about moving up to 8 x 6 if bicycles or bulky boxes must fit.

Buying ready-made is about £1,379 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 6 x 4 ft shed needs a firm, level base at least 6 x 4 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.
