Hello,
I am currently planning a garden shed and have come across a question that seems simple but I couldn’t find an answer to despite searching online. Most information I find relates to the distance from neighbors and the maximum height. However, I want to know if you would place a garden shed or storage shed right on the boundary line?
I have heard several opinions recommending a distance of 50-80 cm (20-31 inches) to allow access around the shed for cleaning and maintenance. Do you agree with that? Personally, I would prefer to place it directly against the fence to save space, but I can also understand the argument for having space to walk around it.
In my case, the shed would be located in a corner, meaning on two sides there would be a fence or directly the neighbor’s property.
What are your thoughts?

Who pushes a full wheelbarrow into the tool shed at 7 p.m. if they want to continue working the next day? That’s wasted effort.Point taken. ;-) To be honest, I’ve never pushed a wheelbarrow, full or empty, in my life. ;-)Pinkiponk schrieb:
Point goes to you. ;-) Honestly, I've never pushed a wheelbarrow in my life, neither loaded nor empty. ;-)To be honest, I don't know anyone who deals with this situation regularly. Even if it occurs once a year...

When it’s full, I empty it—even at 7 p.m. And if I really can’t, I don’t push it behind the shed anymore; I just leave it where I plan to continue working.I would base the distance question on the size of the plot. A designated space for leftover stones and such is great. If you can use that space and the plot allows it, I would build with some distance. If the plot is just a 400 m² (4,300 sq ft) “hand towel,” I would build right up to the boundary line to maximize usable space.
