Shed or Workshop?

Loving the replies.
On one note you can only put something down in a workshop/ shed and it stay there if you don't have a hide and seek fairy. Countless things of mine mysteriously move, some times with in nano seconds of being put down leading to a 3 hour tear down of the shop only to find it has reappeared where I looked 3hrs ago :doh:
Good point on calling it a garden shed to the planning authority. Mine is just 'an outbuilding' in that case ;)

 :ddb: Mines an agricultural barn, that just happens to be packed with machines  :ddb:

(but they are insured with the NFU so it MUST be agricultural !)
dawesy:
Like it. Must say when I was reading your cnc thread I had workshop envy :)

Workshop

For me a sheds always a shed no matter whats been done with it and whether worked in or not. May be the man cave to escape from the mrs or a place of work on the cheap. Wonder where the term 'Fred in the shed' came from.

Workshops a purpose built or modded building often regarded as a place to produce or repair things. May be for diy, profit or gain. An extention of this for specialist applications is called a Backshop.

As for planning etc, its a kids play room could be anything.
Some instances fall in the 'cottage' industry category no rates to local Gov.

It's always been a shed for me. The shed/workshop thing (as outlined by Pete W) seems to be Local Council dependent. When we lived in Hertfordshire, the Planning people would not consider granting permission for any mention of a Workshop, on the grounds that if approved, a full-blown business could be run in it. However there were no such restrictions for a Games Room. So that is what was built, complete with underfloor heating.  :beer:
We had to leave all that behind   :( when we moved to Norfolk. The Council here were quite happy to grant permission for a Workshop, (for hobby purposes of course.) It's not built yet, but the second picture shows where it should fit. The first one is what we left behind.
