UK garden sheds under 2.5 metres tall and within 2 metres of a boundary need no planning permission in most cases. Timber sheds cost 300 to 1,500 pounds depending on size. Deck boxes hold 300 to 700 litres and double as seating. Wall-mounted racks free up to 2 square metres of floor space. Metal lean-to stores cost 80 to 250 pounds and fit against any house wall.
