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
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?
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.

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.
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.
