While
creating and maintaining your outdoor area, you will collect
tools such as lawn mowers, spades, forks, wheelbarrows, shears,
leaf blowers and various hand tools. All of these items can
quickly cause unsightly clutter, and a storage solution not
only keeps your outdoor area tidy, but protects the investment
in these tools. Metal garden sheds are ideal for this.
Ranging from small locker size through to large enough for
tools and a vehicle, the most common materials used for medium
to large storage sheds are wood, plywood, metal and steel.
Metal Storage Units such as those with aluminum
sidings are versatile and require little maintenance. The
wide variety of finishes available can easily tone in with
the main building or home. Steel garden sheds often require
frequent rust removal and treatment. By comparison, wood also
must be treated for pest control.
Even if you dont have a big garden, you might be surprised
by the amount of space a shed will save you just by getting
things like lawnmowers and chairs out of the way sometimes.
And if you do have a big garden, of course, then you can really
go to town!
DIY or Professional Installation
Storage
sheds can be self assembled or installed professionally. For
easy assembly, the shed parts are numbered and instructions
provided in self-assembly type storage shed kits. Self-assembly
can save money and be a satisfying though, at times, a difficult
task.
Sizes & Accessories. Storage shed sizes are usually,
12 X 24, 12 X 30, 12 X 10, 10 X 14, 10 X 8, 8 X
6 etc. Accessories that can be ordered with storage sheds
are windows, shutters, weathervanes etc. Hooks and shelves
of many configurations increase the capacity of the storage
shed by utilizing vertical space. The windows should be so
designed that they match with the main building where possible.
Building Codes and Laws. In many areas there are laws on
sheds like zoning ordinance, building codes, deed restrictions,
building permits, siding materials etc. Check these before
stating to install your shed. Unless you are getting a particularly
large or unusual shed, it is unlikely you will need planning
permission, but always check. You don't want to be moving
a full sized shed several feet, so you want to be sure you
have it in the right place to begin with.
There are many ways to use your garden shed other than for
gardening. You could use it as a workshop for building small
pieces of furniture. Or, you could use it as a craft room
for creating all of those wonderful things that are fun to
make, but make too big a mess in the house.
A garden shed can also be used to add depth and character
to a garden or even as the focal point with the garden designed
to complement the shed. For the uninitiated a garden shed
is just another shed. However, there are many different styles,
which can add their own individual charm and character to
your garden.
