10 x 8 Sheds

A 10’x8’ shed is built to provide storage and functionality with some space to spare, both tidying your outdoor space and opening it up for different types of uses through the shed itself.

While not overbearing nor huge, these garden sheds offer a spacious interior that you can utilise both for lots of storage for furniture and tools - or as a workshop environment for DIY projects.

Our wide selection of 10x8 and 8x10 sheds includes wooden, plastic and metal sheds, with each different material providing different characteristics which suit different uses. For instance, a metal model will be best for a heavy-duty workshop environment due to its toughness.

Choosing the Right Type of Shed for You

Here are some of our most popular shed styles

There’s a wooden shed for almost any garden. Choose your size first, then decide what matters most — a particular roof type (apex or pent), cladding thickness, windowed or windowless. They're great for everyday storage, and a solid choice if you want a light workshop too.
If security and low maintenance are top of your list, a metal shed is a strong choice. Many designs include practical features like lockable points and sliding doors, and galvanised finishes help with long-term weather resistance. They come in a range of sizes to fit different storage needs, up to garage size.
Plastic sheds are a straightforward, low-maintenance option. Modern designs are durable, easy to live with, and come in a range of sizes and looks — ideal for keeping tools, cushions and garden kit stored away without any hard work.
Potting sheds are a practical alternative to a greenhouse if you want a sheltered gardening workspace that provides warmth for plants and still has room for tool storage.

All of our sheds are patio-friendly, perfect for placement on concrete, brick, or slabbed patio areas. As long as your patio is large enough for your chosen size of shed (we have some very large ones), you should be fine to commence with building.

Please bear in mind that if your patio is not completely level, an extra base may be required to give the shed a flat surface to stand on.

If you have wooden decking rather than a patio, check out this guide: Can I Put a Shed on Decking?

Want space to make or fix things? Workshops tend to be larger and sturdier, with layouts that suit benches, storage and moving equipment in and out easily. If you’re planning to spend time inside, it’s worth sizing up so it feels like a workspace rather than a storage box.
Keeping your bike safe has never been easier. Our collection of bike sheds for sale features both walk-in sheds and reduced-height mini sheds, each perfectly optimised for bike storage. With security features like padlock hoops often included, these are essential for any enthusiastic cyclist.
A corner shed is perfectly designed for staying out of the way, saving space and looking good in your garden, with diagonal-facing doors for easy access.
Perfect for side alleys and narrow gaps. Lean-to sheds sit neatly against a wall or fence, with a simple and stylish sloped roof.

Need storage on a tighter budget? This range focuses on the essentials — practical space, sensible specs, and strong value. Even our lowest-priced wooden sheds still come with our 10-year guarantee, so you don’t have to compromise on peace of mind.

If you need to budget carefully, our selection of cheap sheds is where you want to look.

FAQs

They're the same building in two orientations — the floor area is identical (around 80 sq ft) — so choose the one that fits your space. A 10x8 has its doors on the longer 10ft side, giving a wide frontage where everything's easy to see and reach and a natural spot for a workbench along the back. An 8x10 turns it so the doors are on the 8ft side, giving a narrower, deeper footprint that suits a long, slim plot or running down the side of a garden.

A 10x8 gives around 80 sq ft — a step up from the 64 sq ft of an 8x8, and enough to combine real storage with a dedicated working area. If you want more room to spread out a workshop or store larger equipment, the 12x8 adds roughly another 16 sq ft. The 10x8 is the popular middle ground for anyone who needs more than basic storage but doesn't want the shed to take over the garden.

Yes — 80 sq ft is enough for a proper workbench plus storage and room to move, which is why 10x8 is a favourite for hobby and DIY use. For comfortable year-round use, timber models offer marginally better insulation than metal or plastic, but you probably wouldn't want to spend all day in there during a heatwave or on the coldest days of winter. You can retrofit insulation, but altering the structure may affect your guarantee, so check the terms first. If you expect to spend a lot of time inside, it's worth comparing our garden workshops.
At this size it's a two-person job, typically taking a few hours up to most of a day depending on the model and cladding. Wooden panels come pre-built, so a lot of the fixing is already taken care of — but fitting floorboards and roof boards can be more time consuming. Every shed comes with step-by-step instructions and the fixings you need.

The only way the size would usually affect your development rights is if it cause more than 50% of your home's original outdoor space to be taken up by buildings. Otherwise, a 10x8 shed normally sits within permitted development. The main thing to watch at this size is height: if the shed is within 2 metres of a boundary, the maximum overall height is 2.5m. It also needs to sit behind the front of your house. Listed homes and conservation areas have tighter rules — see our guide to shed planning permission.

10x8 and 8x10 Garden Sheds

The quintessential medium-sized shed, a 10x8 shed caters well for gardens with a comfortable amount of room, large but not excessive storage needs, or small DIY workshops. Since their size isn’t excessive, neither is the price, meaning you can get a 10x8 model that’s still affordable.

What Can a 10x8 Shed Be Used For?

Where 10-by-8 foot sheds exceed is their ability to perform multiple types of functions - sometimes all at once! They’re great for storing large equipment or large quantities of items, comfortably fitting in lots of bikes and a lawnmower. But they can just as easily be turned into a workshop for DIY projects - with both storage and workshop functions possible if you divide the space evenly.

Floor and Cladding

Make a move on your outdoor plans today with a choice of floor and cladding options. Our 8x10 sheds come across a range of tongue and groove and overlap cladding as well as plastic and even metal models that imitate wood grains.

8x10 Garden Sheds

Our workshops and 8x10 garden sheds feature either hinged wide-opening double doors or even sliding doors on some of our metal sheds. This range also features heavy-duty plastic sheds for sale.

A Suitable Base

We suggest that all garden buildings are built on a stable and level surface with suitable foundations. That's why many of our sheds come with flooring options, or simply pick up a shed base from our accessories range.
