I built one at the bottom of the garden, a bit bigger than you're planning and my advice would be, depending on what it's going to be made from, larchlap like a normal shed or thick inter connected 'planks' like a log cabin you'll need to think about insulation and how it can be heated in the winter as it's no fun sitting in it and having to wear a coat. I ran power and water (just a long stretch of garden hose running from an outside tap) into mine. It's made up of two rooms, the bigger one is a proper bar with traditional pub stools etc and a TV on the wall to watch the mighty with a pint in hand. We use WiFi extenders for the TV. I suppose it depends on what you're planning on doing with it when it's built but I'd suggest going the extra mile in what facilities it has, otherwise you won't get the use out of it if it's not as comfortable as being in the house

I cannot say enough just how jealous I am of this.
** top notch
An interesting fact about Pinterest is that everything on there is unachievable in reality unless you're actually a professional.
This is a full on major building project
, looks great, plumbing, heating log burner, bit of a upgrade over a potting shed.....
That's fantastic I'm jealous. I've made a start as I've stripped 2 pallets down! Seriously I've got enough space although getting the pipes for a macerator loo/sink & other services would be a bit of a pain as it's a fair & awkward distance, it would be easier to use solar power/battery/inverter capture rainwater for loo & send it into the pond in the garden behind
At what size build do you need planning permission.
) and put lagging around it and put it all inside drain pipe then buried it again. Had no issues with it all.
Seriously it's bloody brilliant, I bet lockdown wasn't much of a chore?Thanks for the kind comments people much appreciated. I've loads of pics of the build if that's of interest to people and I'm happy to share.
When I started I didnt really have any building skills of note but I've mates who I called upon who have and I worked with them on it and just learned as I went along. Was really enjoyable and probably took approx 12 months or so from start to finish.
All cables (water, electric, internet) come from the house and I dug a trench approx 1 foot deep (meant to be 2 foot + deep but I hit rocks and had a stinking hangover when I started that day so I thought fuck it
With the toilet I knew next door had a waste pipe that ran behind the room I built so I offered to replace 6 fence panels on our shared boundary to tap into their waste pipe from my new toilet. Dug down and found it and although a messy job it was a lot easy that digging a waste pipe trench from the top of my garden to the drain at the other end.
YouTube is your help when it comes to stuff and just give it a go. Honestly if I can then anyone can!!!
Yeah did make it easier, like I said me and Mrs Shanks both work from there as well and my 3 kids have mates sleeping over and use it as a den as well.
It's not really a shed though, more of a bungalow, I've had smaller flats, it would sell for 500k in that there London.

Father in law is a nob ender.... he always uses the house toilet when using the facilities as refuses to use this one
Thank you. Seat was from Amazon (had to search for orange seats unfortunately as tangerine didnt come up) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Euroshower...ocphy=1006873&hvtargid=pla-469198411191&psc=1
