If you're passionate about an activity that cries out for more space - gardening, sewing, woodworking, arts and crafts - building your own shed workshop in the backyard may be the perfect answer. Having dedicated space to focus on what spins your wheels may sound like a pipe dream, but with the right design and a lot of planning, you can make that dream a reality faster than you imagine.
Take sewing, for example. Shed workshops for avid sewers would necessarily include storage for material and accessories, a workstation for one or more sewing machines, cabinets to store pattern, book shelves, and that all-important room for a cutting table. Planned correctly, the sewing enthusiast would have the space and organisation to turn out one creation after another with the greatest comfort.
Workshop designs vary with the intended use and individual preferences. Some people handle smaller, even cramped spaces just fine, while others really need to spread out in order to be productive. There are as many designs and plans for shed workshops as there are users. The key is finding the design that best meets your needs even if it means making modifications.
Start with the Internet. Search dedicated design sites that allow close examination of plans for shed workshops. Is the plan detailed enough for you to follow without having to guess at anything? Does it include a complete materials list? Because the devil is in the details, many workshop builders opt for a shed kit that includes everything - plans, materials, even tools. Choose what fits your needs and skill level, and make sure it's something you can follow closely without getting frustrated.
Adding creature comforts and the personal touch is what turns workspace into pure creative space. Remember, your imagination is only limited by your budget. For many hobbyists, heating, electric lights, plumbing, and a good sound system are not options - they're mandatory features to promote productivity. For others, simply having a space to get out of the elements is enough to do their thing.
Shed workshops come in a variety of sizes and flavours. Determine your intended use and build from there. Because your workshop will be your creative, make sure it fits you. The right workshop won't be a secret to anyone because that's where everyone will know to find you!
