Garden Sheds Limerick
Planning rules for Limerick City and County Council, what to put in a written quote, and suppliers that deliver to Limerick. Independent: no supplier owns this site.
Buying a shed in Limerick
Limerick sits in the Shannon estuary basin: wetter than the east coast but less exposed than Kerry or Galway. Inland areas like Kilmallock and Bruff are more sheltered; the city and Shannon corridor get regular Atlantic moisture.
A shed in Limerick is normally exempted development under the Planning and Development Regulations (Schedule 2, Part 1, Class 3) if it meets all five conditions set out in the planning question below and in our planning permission guide. If you're unsure, ask Limerick City and County Council about a Section 5 declaration before you order.
Material advice for Limerick: Both materials can work in Limerick. Steel is usually the safer choice on exposed or riverside sites near the Shannon. Pressure-treated timber can suit the city and the more sheltered south of the county. If you choose timber, specify pressure-treated, not dip-treated.

Common questions: sheds in Limerick
Do I need planning permission for a garden shed in Limerick?
Usually not, if it meets every condition of the national exemption in the Planning and Development Regulations (Schedule 2, Part 1, Class 3). The shed must be behind the front wall of the house. All garden structures together, existing ones included, must come to no more than 25 m², and at least 25 m² of private open space must be left to the rear or side. It must be no higher than 4 m with a tiled or slated pitched roof, or 3 m with any other roof. It must be used only for purposes incidental to enjoying the house: not lived in, not a business. Check your title deeds if you're in an estate: some older Limerick developments have deed restrictions on outbuildings. If you're unsure, ask Limerick City and County Council about a Section 5 declaration before you order.
Which Limerick areas have display centres for sheds?
Adman Steel Sheds advertises display centres in Munster within reach of Limerick city. The other businesses listed here advertise delivery instead. To compare quotes without driving around, use our free quote form.
What size shed suits a Limerick city garden?
Most Limerick city semi-detached gardens will fit an 8×6 or 10×8. Rural Limerick sites are often larger, so a 12×10 or custom size may be worth a quote. Whatever the garden size, the 25 m² Class 3 limit covers all garden structures together, existing ones included.
How do I compare shed quotes in Limerick?
Ask every supplier to price the same written specification. Ask for the structure, base, floor, delivery, installation, treatment and VAT as separate lines, and get the deposit and delivery terms in writing. Use our quote worksheet to line the quotes up.
