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. Each wooden shed is self-manufactured at our specially-built facility to provide long-lasting quality, buildings.
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. Which is why we’d class it somewhere between a medium and a small shed.
If you’re not sure which size to buy, or which style suits you, our shed buying guide is the place to go.

FAQs
Usually, no. Most UK properties are allowed sheds as 'permitted developments' with no planning permission required.
Exceptions (where you MIGHT need planning permission) include:
Listed properties and locations of 'outstanding natural beauty'
Structures exceeding 2.5 metres height on the eaves or, if placed near a boundary, 2.5 metres total height (our sheds don't exceed this)
Some maintenance is required for wooden sheds, and our guarantee is dependent upon the building having been correctly looked after.
Fortunately, the process is simple. Here are the main things you need to do:
Build the shed at least 2 feet away from a fence, wall, or trees. This ensures access for maintenance, and helps with airflow so the shed can stay dry.
Particularly with log cabin sheds, give it a few months for the wood to settle before you attach anything across multiple sections, as there could be some shifting, expansion and contraction.
Periodically check for gaps or cracks, and apply a sealant if necessary to prevent rain penetration.
Paint or stain your shed to protect the wood from moisture (aka treating the timber). This should be done only after assembly and should be topped up annually.
The requirement to treat the timber does not apply to pressure treated sheds as they are already protected and have a longer 15-year guarantee.
A pressure treated wooden shed is infused with wood preserver which protects against moisture, rot and insect infestation. The BillyOh Guarantee is 15 years for pressure treated buildings.
With pressure treatment, you do not have to annually treat the building as part of its regular maintenance, until several years after purchase.
Pressure treated timber has a slight green tint. You may want to paint over this. However, you must wait at least 4-6 months for the treatment to dry before painting. (6 months applies if it is drying through a wet or cold season.) Failing to allow it to dry will
cause
the problems that pressure treatment is intended to prevent.
Since our wooden sheds are made to order, the purchase of pressure treatment will add some extra time to your delivery.
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.
