What is the maximum height for a wooden garden shed and is there anything else I need to consider Thanks?

Check with city by-laws. You need to know before starting this project. It's not only how high but how far away from your neighbours property lines. It's going to be difficult for anyone to tell you. We don't know where you live and don't know what the city allows. Do it once, do it right. You don't want to have problems.

Depending upon where you live. In some places garden sheds or portable storage buildings require metal strap tie downs, anchored in the ground. Check with the building inspector in your area and ask. Good Luck
Reply:It varies from area to area so without knowing where you are, your best bet would be to ring the planning dept of your local council/town hall and just ask. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help.





Generally, in the UK anyway, I think it's around 4m if you have a pitched roof or 3m if flat.
Reply:I have not heard of a maximum height for a garden shed but there may be one in your area. You will need to check with local authorities (building department, subdivision rules, etc.) if that applies in your case. I live in the country and I only need a building permit so they can add the shed to the taxes in my county. There may be setback rules from property lines as well.





As for height, I have one shed that is 6 feet high and it is ok for tools and a riding lawnmower and stuff like that. My 8 foot shed is nicer as it has some overhead storage for things that are seasonal... lawn chairs, boating and canoeing stuff, extra plant pots etc. Search on-line for some pictures and plans or visit a lumber yard or library for "garden shed" or "storage barn" ideas.
