Here are the set rules when choosing to build a shed.
Build a brick shed in my garden.
This includes shed height restrictions and placement rules.
Dig down at least eight or 10 inches where you plan to lay your brick and at least six inches wide.
If you own a home you may want to add a shed garage greenhouse or other building.
Pour in a couple of inches of sand as a base and use your hand tamper to compact the sand and make it level.
Ive never met the new people but when i looked in my garden i saw they have started building a full on brick structure with windows in the back of their garden the roof isn t on yet but already the top of the door is higher than my fence which is a good 6ft.
Before you do this you should first check if you need to apply for planning permission.
Sheds should be single storey.
You could live in there easily.
Build a shed garage greenhouse or other building.
A friend recently asked me for advice about his neighbour s shed.
This building is red brick single storey with a pitched and tiled roof and double glazed.
These are known as ancillary buildings.
Rules governing outbuildings apply to sheds playhouses greenhouses and garages as well as other ancillary garden buildings such as swimming pools ponds sauna cabins kennels enclosures including tennis courts and many other kinds of structure for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse.
Then mix and pour a concrete mixture and fill the frame in.
Sheds should be a maximum of three metres high unless they have dual pitched roofs in which case they can be up to four metres high.
However the shed must still meet building regulations in order to be legally constructed in your yard.
So i decided to refresh my memory of the planning law on this subject.
Having a shed in your garden is a great way to create more storage space without requiring planning permission.
When i say shed i mean minature house in the back garden.
Make a frame of 2x4s to set at the edges of the hole.
