8’ x 8’ Sheds
Our 8x8 garden sheds provide storage and utility in a small, secure unit. We’ve got a wide range of both pent and apex models, giving you the freedom to pick out a shed that includes all the features you’re looking for.
There’s debate over whether an 8x8 shed is considered small or medium. Models of 8 by 8 feet don’t have a large footprint, so don’t take up vast amounts of space, but have a spacious interior large enough to keep big pieces of equipment like bikes and lawnmowers.
If you’re not sure which size to buy, or which style suits you, our shed buying guide is the place to go.

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.
If you need to budget carefully, our selection of cheap sheds is where you want to look.
FAQs
At around 64 sq ft, an 8x8 gives you roughly a third more floor space than an 8x6 — and the square footprint is the real advantage. You can run a full-width workbench or shelving along one wall and still have clear floor for larger items, rather than choosing between them. A realistic 8x8 holds a lawnmower, two or three bikes, a wheelbarrow, garden hand tools on the walls, and seasonal furniture — with room left to move around inside.
Yes — 8x8 is a very popular size for a dual-purpose store and workshop. There's space for a bench along one wall, shelving above it, and enough standing room to work comfortably while still keeping everyday storage to hand. If you plan to spend serious time in it or need room for bigger machinery, it's worth comparing our garden workshops too.
Usually not. An 8x8 normally falls under permitted development, provided it sits behind the front of your house, stays within the height limits, and your outbuildings don't cover more than half the garden. Listed properties, conservation areas and other conditions can change the rules that apply to you — our guide to shed planning permission covers the detail for England, Scotland and Wales.
A firm, completely level base across the full 8x8 footprint — concrete, paving slabs, or a purpose-made timber or plastic grid base all work well. It is best to check the specific dimensions of your chosen model, as there may be a few inches' variance. You don't want your base to be too small, and extensions should be minimised for drainage and tripping hazards. A good base keeps the walls square, the doors aligned and the floor off damp ground. See our guide to building a shed base before you order.
With wooden sheds especially, you should build your base with at least 24 inches of walking space around all four sides so that you can maintain the building.
How Much Can You Fit in an 8x8 Shed?
You’d be surprised how much you can fit into an 8 by 8 shed. Thanks to its square shape, and especially the 8 feet of width, there’s room to store larger and bulky items. To give an idea of how much this would equate to, there’d be room to store at least four bikes (with handlebars offset).
Of course, they can be used for more than just bikes. They could easily store an array of garden furniture, even up to a small table provided it could collapse and fit through the doorway. Items such as lawnmowers, tool racks, and chairs should easily fit.
Versatile 8 x 8 Sheds
Our range of 8 x 8 sheds features not only windowed and windowless options for added security or more natural light in your garden workshop, but tons of other customisable features.
With the option to pressure treat your shed and add an EPDM roof cover, you can further protect against water ingress and even the harshest of the UK weather. That’s why our BillyOh guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation increases to 15 years on all pressure-treated garden buildings.
