Comparison-first spoke — not a lifestyle homepage. Pick a use-case, size the shell, plan power, then buy fit-out and the right kit. Affiliate links: Amazon UK + eBay Partner Network.
Measure internal floor and eaves. Match desk/rack footprint. Reject too-small shells.
Temporary outdoor-rated RCD accessories vs permanent electrician circuit. No indoor leads under doors.
Door swing, glare, ventilation, cable routes, noise to neighbours.
Desk/mat/lining or gym flooring + lights — Amazon + eBay via /c/ rails.
Gaming Room or Garage Gym kit last — peripherals after the room works.
Desk width × chair roll × glare. Reject 6×4 storage sheds for dual monitors.
Eaves height, floor load, mats, ventilation, neighbour noise — then the gym kit.
Seating depth + screen distance. Log cabin / 10×8+ beats a window-only box.
Insulated shells for WFH winters. Summerhouses need a lining plan first.
Honest seasonal use — do not pretend unlined styrene glass is a January office.

|---|---|---|---|
| 120cm gaming desk | ~2.1×2.0m + door | 6×4 storage | 8×8 summerhouse |
