Whether you are building a shed or a workshop the first thing to consider is what are you intending on using it for. If you are building one for storage only then a shed will probably fit the bill. If you want one too actually work in then a workshop is what you need.
First let's consider the shed. The first thing to consider is available space in your yard and where to put it regarding the least amount of work ad far as site preparation goes. Once you have decided that size of the building, building materials and what type of roof you want should be considered. Also if you want to build it yourself or purchase one of the many kits that are available. Whichever you decide make sure it will take care of your needs.
The workshop will require more space of course and will be more expensive to build or purchase. Do you want to just be able to walk inside and have maybe a workbench or do you want one you can pull a vehicle inside to work or store. Also do you want a concrete floor, wooden floor or just the ground? What about electrical? Should you wire it for lights and receptacles and do you need both 120 and 240 circuits. What about the inside walls? Should you finish them or not? These are all questions to ask yourself along with what kind of materials your workshop is constructed with.
If you are undecided as to which style, roofline, etc. search the internet for designs. It is a great resource for getting an idea. Look in gardening and home improvement magazines for ideas. These are all good sources for information. If you're hiring someone to do the work make sure to do a check on them first. Ask for references and checkout the work they did for other people. Ask previous customers if they are satisfied. Whichever way you do I hope it is an enjoyable experience and something that will be useful for you for many years to come.
