Hi Mike, it looks like my only options are within 2m of a boundary. Hence working out internal spaces.

Great build and great write up. I'm struggling to work out internal height clearances and stay with 2.5m overall height. Do you know what your internal heights were once finished, front and back? And did you stay within the 2.5m overall height guidance at the external front? Thanks.

I think it would come under the same issue, plus it would increase total the garage floor area beyond 30sqm.

You’re right, that is plain. I was interpreting the section where it talks about facing a road. Planning permission it is then. If that’s the case, what should I be sensibly looking at, floor size and height wise?

Hi all, I’m looking to build a general garden workshop and need some ideas and advice as to what size I can go to and position, given the constraints of space and boundaries. Ideally I’d like to build something like this - My available space is sketched out here, where the rear of the above...

That's interesting. I was thinking of putting the membrane on the inside frame, then battens, insulation and inner wall, with exterior vents fitted to the original outside wood skin. Looks like a rethink required. I'll go through your thread in detail. I was looking at concrete plinths, just...

Pine and poplar, a good start, thank you. Yes, started lots of projects and then had to 'resize' ambitions due to eagerness. Have been stalking the shed/workshop builds threads, very informative. I've always used the hardcore and then plastic lock grids with membrane. I'd like to use concrete...
