What is a 12Γ—4 shed?

A 12Γ—4 shed is a long, slim garden building ideal for storing tools, equipment and outdoor gear where space is tight. With a 12ft length and a 4ft depth, it fits neatly down the side of houses, along fences or in compact gardens β€” giving you useful storage without taking up valuable outdoor space.

Made to order, built to last

At Elfords, every 12Γ—4 shed is crafted by our skilled joiners using high-quality timber and built to your specification. Because we make sheds to order, you can choose features that suit how you plan to use it β€” from extra windows to bespoke door positions.

Delivered and assembled by our friendly local team in Hampshire, you’ll enjoy the same personal service and attention to detail that our customers return for time and again.

Practical storage for narrow spaces

A 12Γ—4 shed works beautifully in situations where a deeper shed would be too large, such as:

  • Down side paths

  • Next to garage walls

  • Along fencing or borders

  • Small or urban gardens

Inside, you’ll still find plenty of room for lawn mowers, tools, garden furniture and seasonal equipment β€” all easily accessible when you need them.

Choose your perfect 12Γ—4 layout

Just like our other timber buildings, a 12Γ—4 shed can be tailored to your needs:

  • Door on the left or right

  • Window options for light and airflow

  • Optional shelving or floor upgrades

  • Additional security features

If you’re unsure which options work best for your space, our team is happy to help.
