Choose the size of your garden shed
- The size depends of course on the size of your garden but also on the use you want to make of it.
- Below 6 M², a garden shed will only serve to store your tools and possibly a few bikes if everything is well organized.
- Below 14 M², the surface will allow you to arrange a small work area for your work.
- With more than 15 M² you enter another dimension because you can install a small room to do your work, you rest between two plants or simply make it a living room.
Administrative procedures for a garden shed
Below 19m², you can file a simple declaration of work at the town hall.
Above 20M², you will not be able to install your shelter without applying for a building permit for it.
