Good morning everyone.

I will probably put a garden shed in my garden after the summer this year. All the stuff that is currently in my garage and has nothing to do with the car should go in there.

- Lawn mower
- Gas grill
- Shovel, pickaxe, rake, bucket and such small stuff

optionally a rim rack and 2 bicycles but these items should actually stay in the garage.

The garden shed will go in the farthest corner of my already relatively small garden, so the size should be chosen accordingly. In other words, not too small but definitely not too big either. I am hesitating between 2 sizes

1. W 1.82m x D 1.22m = 2.22 m2
2. W 2.12m x D 1.54m = 3.26 m2
It is important that one of the sides is smaller than 2 meters so that the shed fits optimally into the corner

The second point would be the ground. Until now I always wanted to pave an area of roughly 2mx3m, put the shed on it, so you also have a paved area right in front of the shed and done. The advantage is, you are more flexible with the shed and can do it surely not the cheapest way either. Now I am considering making a point or strip foundation and simply putting the shed on it. You can still pave area X in front of the shed if that is even necessary.

I would appreciate a little input and suggestions.

Option 2 requires a garden house with its own floor. If the entire area is paved, a house without its own floor is sufficient.

We have 4*2.75, and with children that is really not too big :) So option 1 is already very small, just enough for the lawn mower to fit in and then that's it.

The effort is really disproportionate.

I am aware that a floor must be built into the house if only a foundation is made; this can be skipped if the foundation is made from paving. I have no children, but that will probably change in the not too distant future. Unfortunately, I have not found a garden house with an area of 2mx3m with a flat roof. I actually did not consider the option with the children.

I myself have a garden hut thread running here:
That's why I know there are more, even bigger ones. Ok, usually it's a very slight pent roof instead of a flat roof, which is basically the same because it also has a slope. So I would leave out the filter "flat roof" when searching [emoji4]
Yes, and if you're going to put in the effort, it should be worth it: I wouldn't even consider under 4 sqm. And if you have kids soon or are planning to, then check what is possible in your area.
