Shed Building Plans

Revolving summerhouse Fourpenny Workshop

The Fourpenny Workshop builds and restores various shedlike structures, especially shepherds huts, but they also have experience in working on Shedworkings favourite ever design, the Boulton and Paul rotating summerhouse. Matt Plummer from Fourpenny has been in touch to say they are planning to build a replica soon as they now have two original bases. Pictured is one they rescued from a house in Gloucester which now enjoys the views over Chester and North Wales .

How to build your own workshop

Nick Abson converted his selfbuild garden room into a workshop and has blogged excellently about the experience over the last three years from the intital build right up to the present at The Small Workshop. Its extremely thorough and a definite must-read for anybody thinking of doing something similar. Heres what Nick says:

I did the building work myself, with some help on the heavy lifting, and it took a while (about a year), with the slow progress mainly down to my complete lack of relevant experience. The designs were done in Sketchup, and the building is constructed with the materials typically used in commercially available garden rooms: structurally insulated panels, cedar cladding, ‘mini plinths’ footings and epdm rubber on the roof. Now the building is done I am focused on the inside and turning it into a small but useful space.
