Exactly why I did a DIY build, I already had an 8 x 6 and 10' x 6' shed either side of the garden the 10 x 6 was falling apart after 20 years and the 8 x 6 needed so much extra wood to strengthen it it cost a quarter as much again.
As I wanted a proper workshop I could work in I decided to build a 3m x 4m workshop between them, to buy something would have been £5k upwards in 2020 so I decided to build one myself with some decent sized timber including 45mm floor boards, the whole build cost me £1250, that included ironmongery and roof felt, being a lanky git I did it with a gable roof for head clearance :) Lockdown provided the opportunity and luckily I got the essential bits before the price hike.
