Balance benches with open floor
A fifteen by ten workshop gives you useful workshop capacity without the proportions of the very largest buildings. Wooden workshop models use shiplap or overlap cladding and doors on the long side. Run fixed benches along one wall and keep the opposite side for tools or materials, and keep a clear working strip between them. The base must cover the full footprint. For practical services, see the workshop electrics guide.
We earn a commission from the retailer if you buy through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. It never affects which workshops we show or how we compare them. Prices were checked on 7 November 2026 and may have changed, so check the retailer before you buy.
Build one yourself instead?
Buying ready-made is about £3,249 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 15 x 10 ft workshop needs a firm, level base at least 15 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 13.9 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.
