Good evening,
we would like to build (or have built) a larger shed/garage on the left side of our house in Brandenburg. The distance from our house wall to the neighboring property is 3.50 meters (11.5 feet). We are only allowed to cover an additional 18m² (194 ft²) with impermeable surfaces. In Brandenburg, a shed is subject to a building permit / planning permission if it exceeds 75m³ (2,649 ft³).
Therefore, we are planning to build a 2.50 x 7 meter (8.2 x 23 feet) shed/garage. We intend to use it exclusively for exercising, meaning we want to store sports equipment and weights inside.
Our goal is to construct something stable as efficiently as possible, that requires little maintenance and does not have to be repainted every year. We do not need a shower, but possibly some heating, since we want to exercise 2-3 times per week throughout the year. Currently, we only have a suitable outdoor power cable underground, which we would use for a power outlet column to keep costs low.
Now to the question:
Can you recommend materials? A solid masonry build would cost us about 30,000 EUR, which is too expensive. A wooden shed variant would probably cost about 6,000 EUR in materials.
Have you implemented similar plans? Would you advise against anything, or do you have helpful tips that we should consider?

HilfeHilfe, do you happen to have a photo handy? 🙂 Actually also as a kind of exercise room – if yes, do you heat it?
@ ypg: BBgBO § 2 Definitions: "Living spaces are rooms intended or suitable for the stay of people not only temporarily." Using it 2-3 times per week for 1 hour is still considered "only temporary," especially if lawn mowers, bicycles, and tools might also be stored there, or do you have a more specific definition? Hi, no, it’s just for storing garden equipment. But don’t base it on the exercise. Exercise routines change. I used to lift weights; now I’ve been jogging for 4 years. Exercise makes you warm—why would you want to heat the room?

Fragenasker4 Dec 2020 07:21Parking spaces for vehicles in Brandenburg appear to count as boundary development only if they are covered (carport). If the ground is paved but no roof or exterior walls are built, it does not fall under this category.
HilfeHilfe: That’s true, I’ve thought about that as well. When exercising, you warm up quickly, even in cooler conditions. The question is whether this also applies in the shed from December to February. It might be more cost-effective to heat with a portable device during the three days per week in the winter season rather than installing a heating system.

I built one like this as a "garden shed" measuring 4x6m (13x20 feet). Top quality, looks good, and doesn’t need painting or anything like that.
And especially as a workout room, you could make it feel more "homey" with glass elements.
For a garden shed, I would have needed a building permit / planning permission, but I was able to build it as a garage.
I installed a sectional door at the front, so it works well as a garage.
