My experience buying a Garden Storage Shed

Saturday, February 28th, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

My garage is so cluttered it’s time to organize and cean it out, and stop using it as a storage. I need a small garden storage shed so that I can store my gardening equipment, lawn mower, rakes, shovels, wheelbarrow and so on. I am searching for an 8′x8′ or 8′x10′ garden shed. 

I went looking at home improvement stores, and seen some metal storages, they were not to expensive and would have done the job. Well I didn’t purchase a metal kit, there was a wood shed display that got my attention. These wood garden sheds were more expensive, but the appearance was allot nicer than the metal sheds.

After studying these displays I figured I could buy lumber and build my own. It didn’t look hard, the structure is very basic.

I started looking for information on the Internet to build a garden shed. I found the size and type of shed I wanted, and bought some plans. I found a site with a list of plans that were free and some you could buy, go here for more information on shed plans.

I bought the plans, purchased the lumber and built a great shed. It was pretty simple, and I enjoyed doing it. Anyway here is some info that you might find useful.

Begin by contacting or visiting your local zoning department to see what they allow or require.

Choose your location carefully. It will be hard to move once you are done building it.

Determine if you have the patience, tools and skills. If you feel you don’t have the carpentry skills, consider a shed kit. I have seen some wood storage shed kits that look very attractive.

The size you need can be determined by what you will be putting inside. It is always a good idea to build or buy a little bigger.

Do some research to get a great looking garden shed at the best price. I did research and studied plans on the web. At first I was going to buy a metal shed because they are affordable. After studying and researching, I built my own and am very happy with the results.
