Bio shed size.

[oakwoodtv]

Hope to start building the new bio workshop soon I have plenty of room
what size do you think would be ideal.

I want it large enough to store all bio related things but not to large
that I am tempted to keep non bio stuff in.

Thinking 11 foot x 8 foot internal and 8 foot high.

Mine is 13 foot square and i still run out of room

Is that bio only.

Mine's only 6 foot square and way too small.  I'm having to build fuel dumps for oil in various parts of the garden were I think she won't mind ... the remark "well, you get free fuel for your car" is wearing a little thin!

If I were to start again I'd go for something 4 or 5 times the size and I'd have doors through which I could fit an IBC.

Mine is 7ft x 18ft and I still have stuff stacked outside.  It's not all bio though having a workbench with vice, compressor and powertools etc admittedly.  But I could easily get rid of that and just have bio stuff in from the garden.

I wouldn't skimp on shed space if you have the option of more.

I have a large double garage.... I did put a car in it once (just once). Now when I go in there, I have to hold on to a rope attached to the door so I can find my way out. The wife reported me missing once and it took the search party a week to find me.

If I had an aircraft hanger, it would still be full to the gunnels with bio-paraphernalia.

I have just two things to say.

It can't be too big.

Whatever you build will be too small.



I started with a 7 x 7 shed, then changed to a 13 x 8, I now have a 16 x 10

what you have got right is the height, 8ft should be fine.

Mine is 13 foot by 15 foot. It's plenty for a processor, if it's kept tidy.
Ditto the comment about an aircraft hanger. .

Something about the size of Heathrow airport would be nice.

Parkinson's law states Possessions increase to fill the space available for
their storage.

For peeps like me "Possessions" should be changed for "crap".

Is that bio only.

Pretty much - bio plant, settling tank, sink with hot and cold running water, old dishwasher for drums and tools, lister CS generator, cooling system and UPS for the generator and a big stainless steel work bench (and loads of junk which seems to build up all the time)

I'm sure I could fill T5 given a few years.

Just explain "tidy" again?

I'm building a new man lair, looking at building it out of pallets. Bigger the better is always my motto, this includes penal warts haha.
