For general storage, bicycles and lawnmowers, WONKEE DONKEE recommends 6' x 4', 7' x 5', 8' x 6' |

For hobbies such as painting or using as a workshop for woodworking, WONKEE DONKEE recommends 10' x 8', 12' x 10', 14' x 8' |
Or the easiest way to determine the shed's size is to organise all the items you are planning to put in the shed on a flat surface. Arrange them so you can move around between and measure the area they occupy.
