Make a medium workshop adaptable
A twelve by ten workshop is broad enough for a bench and storage while retaining space for changing projects. These wooden apex-roofed workshops use shiplap cladding and selected long-side doors. Plan movable items first, then put permanent shelving where it will not narrow the entrance route. A level base matters before any fit-out begins. Use the shed security advice when deciding where tools should be kept.

Buying ready-made is about £2,236 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.

A 12 x 10 ft workshop needs a firm, level base at least 12 x 10 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 11.1 m², a workshop this size is exempt from Building Regulations as long as nobody sleeps in it.
- A workshop for your own hobbies is incidental use. Running a business from it with customers or staff visiting may need planning permission.
