If you are running out of room in your garage, it may be time to build an outdoor storage shed. Learn the do's and don'ts for your shed project.

1. How to Alleviate Outdoor Storage Problems
Outdoor storage is usually a subject of concern for the homeowner. There are constantly selected items
that just don't fit being stored in the living room or the bedroom or even the garage. How about the
lawnmower, garden equipment, seasonal patio furniture, or a myriad of other goods? So what do you
do?
The immediate answer is the utilization of outdoor storage sheds or outdoor storage buildings. Is there
a difference involving the two? Well kind of. A storage shed implies a making that is generally no larger
than 12' X 12' and does not have any utility services. An outdoors storage building implies any building
larger than a 12' X 12' and which frequently has at least electricity supplied.
For the homeowner the most widespread outdoor structure they will have need for would be the shed.
Selecting the suitable shed means examining what you are going to use the shed for. Will it be strictly
for garden instruments and equipment, storage of seasonal things such as patio furniture, or Xmas
decorations? Sheds are pretty basic by nature. Four walls set on some type of floor system with a roof
to keep out elements. Each shed has some type of door whether a fully functional pre hung door or one
made simply from the exterior sheeting and fastened with a padlock.
Once you have made the decision what you will be using it for jot down some of the features you would
like it to have; a single door or perhaps a double wide door to get the lawnmower in and out. Maybe a
window or two for added light. How about a roof vent in hot climates or sealed tight in very wet areas.
Also consider where you plan on inserting the shed. Will it be near a tree or out in the open or on a
slope or level ground? Will pets or wild critters have access to it? All of these things need to be thought
of in making your final design selection. Now you are ready for what is the most crucial part of the
project and even more vital than how much it costs and more essential than who will construct it.
