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

The only way a shed's square footage affects your development rights is the 50% rule: all the added buildings on your property together mustn't cover more than half of your home's original outdoor space, otherwise you'll need planning permission. A 12x10 is one of our larger sheds, so on a smaller plot that's the figure to check. The other conditions aren't size-related — it must sit behind the front of your house and stay within the height limits, including the 2.5m maximum if it's within 2 metres of a boundary. Listed homes and conservation areas have extra rules; see our guide to shed planning permission.

At around 120 sq ft it's a popular size for a workshop, studio or hobby room, and plenty of people use one as occasional office space. It's worth being realistic, though: a standard shed isn't an insulated, heated room, so it won't match a purpose-built garden office for year-round comfort — and altering the structure can affect your guarantee, so check the terms first. If a true year-round workspace is the goal, our insulated garden rooms are built with that in mind. Any power supply should be fitted by a qualified electrician — see our guide to running electricity to a shed.

What You Can Do With a 12x10 Shed

At around 120 sq ft, a 12x10 is one of the most versatile larger sheds. There's room to run a full workbench and shelving along one wall and still park a ride-on mower, bikes and bulky garden furniture — or to give the whole building over to a workshop, hobby studio or home gym. The generous width and depth let you treat it as more than a store: a working area at one end, storage at the other, and space to move around in between.

12x10 or 10x12?

It's the same building either way — the floor area is identical — so the choice is simply which side the doors sit on. A 12x10 puts the doors on the wider 12ft side for a broad, open frontage; a 10x12 turns them onto the 10ft side, giving a narrower entrance and a deeper run back. Pick whichever matches the shape of your plot and how you want to get into the space.

Built for Heavier Use

Because a 12x10 is often used as a working space rather than just storage, the cladding is worth a thought. Our standard 11mm tongue and groove is robust and weatherproof; for maximum strength in a building this size, our heavy duty range steps up to 15mm tongue and groove across the walls, roof and floor. A firm, fully level base matters at this size too, to keep the structure square and the doors aligned.

Materials and Other Sizes

Our 12x10 range is built in timber — choose overlap cladding for value or tongue and groove for the best weather resistance, and you can paint or stain it to suit your garden. If a 12x10 is more than you need, the 12x8 is a slightly smaller workshop size; for even more room, see larger options such as the 16x8.
