Setbacks
Outbuilding setback from the fence

National civil-law rules are only a baseline. Check the regional rules and the current municipal planning instrument before fixing the zone.
Distances and rules
Outbuildings — a shed, garage, bathhouse or greenhouse — are set back from the neighbouring boundary: you may not build in the strip right next to it. The roof slope and drainage must also stay within your own plot and not shed water or snow onto the neighbour. The exact distance depends on the country and local development rules.

Important limitation
This is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the local land-use rules, easements, the network/utility operator’s requirements and neighbour buildings.
