Garden art studio
Headroom for the easel, wall space for the work in progress and a door you can leave the mess behind.
Painters have long preferred north-facing light because it stays even through the day. A south-facing wall of glass gives a brighter, warmer room but moves across the floor and can overheat on a sunny afternoon.
In the Build Studio you decide which wall carries the windows and which stays solid for hanging work.
An apex gives you height down the middle: inside, the eaves are 1757mm and the ridge rises to 2285mm on an 8ft width and 2417mm on 10ft, which suits a tall canvas on an easel. Keep one long solid wall for work in progress, and a second for storage.
Spills happen. Lay a washable floor covering over the floor, and keep solvents and finishes in a closed cupboard rather than on the open shelf. Open the door or a window when you work with solvents.
Our sheds and summer houses are supplied without wiring, plumbing, heating or insulation. Have lighting and sockets fitted by a qualified electrician, and add a heater only if an installer says it is safe in a room that holds solvents.
A studio for your own use is normally an ordinary outbuilding under the permitted-development rules. If you plan to teach classes or sell from it, speak to your council first.
Sizes are the ordered nominal sizes; the real external size differs a little and is shown on each product and in the Build Studio.

The Build Studio prices any size instantly — doors, windows, even internal rooms — and opens here at a size to start from.
North-facing glass gives the most even daylight; south-facing gives a brighter, warmer room that moves across the floor and can get hot. Choose by how you like to work.
An apex has the most headroom down the middle, which suits tall canvases; a pent keeps a uniform high wall for hanging work. Both are available in timber and composite.
Timber and composite buildings are not climate-controlled, so keep irreplaceable work in the house. Good ventilation and a dry, level base help; see our base guide.
Our sheds and summer houses are supplied without wiring, plumbing, heating or insulation. Have a qualified electrician fit the supply and the lighting.
