We’ve mentioned a couple times how you should pick the shed that will fit your uses best. But there’s a couple types to choose from… style that is, not use.
In honor of my grandpa, I’m putting the ever-so-popular outhouse as my first selection for a shed. He used this at the garden for all of his rakes, sprayers etc. Feel free to cover the hole.
Chris’s parents opted for this basic style for their shed. We modified it a little bit to allow for a larger door for pops to pull in his lawn mower. Shelves were added along the side to increase storage. We had plenty of room for the bikes as well as his tools like the air compressor.
Gambrels are great options if you have alot of tall items to store. Or if you add shelving, you’ve got more depth, so you don’t have to worry about loss of space, adding to the flexibility. Some people call these barn sheds. Growing up on a farm, I guess I’ll give it to them.
A cool name for a cool shed. Every time I see a saltbox shed, I think of Nantucket for some reason… probably because these sheds are most seen in the New England area. I always picture them up agains a tree line – hence the longer rafter one one side. Your choice what you do with them.
Lean-to sheds are great for tucking things away into. They’re simple to construct and can be easily tucked away. This one is a half-height shed that’s ideal for hiding garbage bins and other lawn care supplies.
So that’s a quick look at the types of sheds. Nothing fance, just the basics. Hopefully you can see the differences and more importantly the potential each shed has for you. Give it a little thought and pick your poison.
