An interior partition splits this building into two separate spaces with their own access. One side becomes the workshop; the other stays storage — and the sawdust, the mess and the half-finished project stay on their own side of the wall.
Worth knowing
The partition is the whole point, and it is worth thinking about which side gets the window and which gets the wider door before you order. Ranch-style roofline with the taller utility sidewalls.
