How to Choose a Storage Shed


Overview

Choosing the perfect storage shed for your backyard can be a daunting task. With so many options available, it's essential to focus on key factors to make an informed decision. Here are five crucial steps to guide you in selecting the right shed.

1. Determine the Shed’s Purpose

Firstly, consider what you'll be storing. Assess the space required: a compact 4 x 8 lean-to might suffice for small tools, but bigger items demand more room. Opt for the largest shed within your budget that complements your landscape. Remember that structures over 100 sq. ft. typically need a building permit.

2. Consider Accessibility and Lighting

If you'll use the shed frequently, ensure it offers good access and adequate lighting. Windows and skylights can provide natural light, while electricity may be necessary for added convenience. Ensure doorways are at least 34 inches wide for easy entry, especially for items like lawn mowers.

3. Evaluate Aesthetic Appeal

The appearance of your shed can impact your property value. While metal and vinyl are cost-effective, they may appear less attractive. Wood and pre-finished sidings offer more character and potentially increased value, though they might come at a higher cost.

4. Assess Site and Accessibility

Choose a level site for construction. If the area has a slight grade, patio stones can compensate, especially for smaller sheds. In regions with frost or poor drainage, remove at least 6 inches of topsoil and fill with screening stone or small gravel.

5. Be Neighbor-Friendly

Select a shed that respects your neighbors’ view and adheres to local regulations, which often require a 2-ft distance from property lines. Communicating with neighbors about your plans can cultivate support and avoid future conflicts.

Additional Tips

Research online for a variety of styles and suppliers. Check warranty and return policies carefully when buying online. Don’t be swayed by fancy websites?"ensure the company is reputable by reading reviews or articles. Many businesses offer pre-cut or pre-fabricated kits delivered to your door. For fully installed sheds, work with a local company and avoid businesses that demand more than a 30% deposit. Proper research ensures a wise investment in your new storage shed.
