A wooden garden shed can be used for storage or organizing (firewood, garden furniture, tools) but also as an outbuilding serving as an annex room to the house (summer kitchen or living room with terrace, workshop). Regardless of their use, the interior of garden sheds can be equipped with shelves, cabinets, storage hooks, etc.
Choosing the right wooden garden shed depends on several characteristics defined in part by its use:
What area for a garden shed without authorization?
Wooden garden sheds covering an area of less than 5 sqm are exempt from authorization. Their installation does not require any declaration at the town hall, no authorization, nor any permit to be displayed. Between 5 and 20 sqm, they are subject to a declaration of work, beyond 20 sqm, it is necessary to apply for a building permit (information at the town hall).
How to avoid paying the tax on garden sheds?
Only wooden garden sheds with an area of less than 5 sqm and a ceiling height of less than 1.80 m are exempt from development taxes, and wooden garden sheds that are open and without a floor (only enclosed spaces are concerned).
Which style to choose for a wooden garden shed?
There are mainly wooden garden sheds of the chalet type, rustic and timeless, with gabled roofs, and wood garden sheds of the lodge type, more contemporary and modern, with flat roofs.
What kind of roof for a wooden garden shed?
There are single sloped, double sloped, and flat roofs. Adding to the charm of the wooden garden shed, the cover is offered in shingle, bituminous felt panels, tar plates, or steel.
What about windows and floor for a wooden garden shed?
Depending on the model, a wooden garden shed can have one or more windows, fixed or opening, single or double, and most often made of acrylic. A floor improves insulation and significantly reduces humidity (optional).
What type of wood for a garden shed?
The solid wood can be autoclave treated, very high temperature (THT) treated, or raw. Prefer wood from sustainably managed forests (information is visible thanks to FSC and/or PEFC labels). The sturdiness of the walls is relative to the thickness of the planks.
How to build a wooden garden shed yourself?
DIY enthusiasts can build their own garden shed. Once the necessary volume or space is determined, they can use wooden planks for the walls and the door, rafters for the structure, and logs for the floor. A roof made of tarred sheets or steel plates is recommended as it is easy to implement. A plexiglass plate framed with battens can serve as a fixed window. Metal brackets can be used to avoid assemblies.
