Building a Shed 101

A shed can be a nice addition to your home, and it can be quite functional if you take the time to plan it out. Take a gander at some sheds we thought were pretty great to get some inspiration for your backyard project! Also, consider these helpful hints:

Match your new shed to your existing home. Nothing looks worse than two totally different structures on one lot. You may not be able to have exactly the same siding or roofing on your shed, but try to make the structures cohesive and similar.
Size is an important factor when you want to build a shed. If the structure is too big, it will only make your yard appear smaller. If it's too small you will not be able to store your things, and isn't that the whole point?
Ask yourself what will actually go inside your shed, and how the crime rate is in your community. If you are storing expensive items in your shed such as a weedwacker, a lawn mower, or tools, you may want to ensure the shed is secured with a lock or some kind of security system.
The ins and outs of your shed are essential to think about prior to building or buying your shed. For example, if you plan to store your snowblower, you need to be certain that you can fit it in and out of the door to your shed.
