A garden workshop is a versatile addition to your outdoor space, offering numerous benefits that extend beyond the practical. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or an enthusiastic hobbyist, a garden workshop offers lots of benefits. First though, let’s explain exactly what a workshop is.
What’s the difference between a shed and a workshop?
A garden workshop is a dedicated space for a variety of activities, including hobbies, crafts, and even running a home business. But what is the difference between a shed and a workshop? The answer to this is easy, it's size! Typically, sheds are smaller in size - at Sutton Sheds, our smallest standard apex shed is 7x5 and our smallest pent roof shed is the same. By comparison, our standard wooden workshops start from a 10x8.
We recently shared our 5 reasons to buy a shed, so here are our 5 reasons to buy a workshop:
1. A workshop is a dedicated space for creativity
One of the primary reasons to invest in wooden workshops is to create a dedicated space for hobbies and creative pursuits. Whether you're into woodworking, painting, crafting, or model making, having a separate area allows you to focus without distractions. Unlike working in a shared space inside the house, a wooden garden workshop provides solitude and a creative environment tailored to your needs.
2. Garden workshops can boost productivity
Having a dedicated garden workshop helps to increase productivity. When all your tools, materials, and projects are organised in one place, you can avoid the time and energy spent on setting up and packing away your work each day. A workshop allows you to leave projects midway without worrying about clutter, giving you the freedom to pick up where you left off at any time.
3. Promotes Work-Life Balance
For those who work from home or have side hobbies requiring physical workspaces, wooden garden workshops can help establish boundaries between personal and professional life. Stepping into a separate building creates a sense of "going to work," fostering focus and productivity while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
4. A workshop can facilitate larger projects
Having a dedicated space that doesn’t have to be tidied away, available in a wide range of sizes, is perfect for bigger projects. The 12x8 garden workshop is one of our most popular standard models but we supply all sizes including the 20x10 garden workshop and the 20x12 workshop.
5. A garden workshop is distraction-free
Working in a garden workshop will stop you being distracted by phones or family members and will encourage you to focus on your craft. Keeping your hobby or sideline separate from your home will also allow you to concentrate on it more.
