A square layout that stays flexible

The near-square 7 x 7 ft footprint makes it easier to place shelving on more than one wall, with a clear patch for tools or a small potting bench. Wood, metal and plastic are represented, and an apex or pent roof changes the headroom pattern. Selected buildings include a floor or corner design. Plan the base before delivery, then consider 8 x 8 ft if your storage list keeps growing.

Buying ready-made is about £1,322 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 7 x 7 ft shed needs a firm, level base at least 7 x 7 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.
