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?

... It might be more cost-effective to use a portable heater for 3 days a week during the winter season rather than installing a heating system.I also find this option better in terms of costs. Besides, the sensation of cold or warmth varies throughout the day and from day to day. It’s possible that you won’t need heating very often, especially since the last winters have been quite mild. Another idea: There are exercise bikes that generate electricity, and possibly other fitness equipment that do the same. Maybe something like that could be used as a heat source.
