6x4 Sheds

6x4 (1828x1219mm) is the British shed sweet spot for one straightforward reason: it's the smallest footprint that takes a lawnmower and a small set of tools, with one or two raised shelves still leaving floor space to walk in. Anything smaller and the door catches on stored items. Anything larger needs a planned spot rather than an opportunistic patio corner. The 6x4 is also the size most popular with rented gardens since it doesn't need planning permission almost anywhere in the UK. Buy Sheds Direct and Furniture in Fashion together stock the bulk of 6x4 options £82-£1,030 across wooden, metal and plastic constructions; Robert Dyas covers £100-£500 wooden and overlap. The grid below filters by material, roof style (apex or pent) and door position. Most 6x4 sheds put the door on the long 6-foot wall, but some shorter-garden options put it on the 4-foot end.
