Just about every homeowner has a lot more stuff than storage space and pawning off your keepsakes is not an option. So now you are stuck with finding a way to cope with all your stuff. What do you do? Construct your own storage shed, pay for it to be built, or buy a pre-made unit?
If you decide maybe to build it yourself, do you really think this is an undertaking you are ready for? Have you looked at plans online and wondered if you would actually be able to follow the instructions and have it turn out good or good enough? What happens if you get stuck and can't find help?
Maybe you looked into hiring a local contractor or a neighbor who built their shed, to help build your shed from scratch. You will need some kind of plan. It would not be wise to tell them "Oh, just build it about 10' x 10'" because you never know what you will get. The door may not be wide enough for you to get certain bulky items through or maybe they will throw one up without proper footings or install a wooden floor which will warp and rot. The worst case scenario you end up with one out of square and the doors don't close properly.
And if you looked into pre-fab buildings, aside from the expense, how in the world are you going to get it set up in that tight back yard? There are also a number of companies out there that will build you a shed. They quote you a fairly reasonable price until you find out that the 'extras' such as a concrete floor, wind turbine to keep the interior from becoming an oven, windows, eves (so it doesn't look like a shoe box) shelves and all of the other things that make a shed functional can be added on at a substantial increase in price. You just went from a $2500 dollar quote to over 5 grand.
Good storage sheds need a multitude of things, but there are some fairly obvious things you should ensure are incorporated into your shed. You should have concrete floors secured to the slab, shelves that hold up, and windows so you won't need a light all the time. Who wants to be scared when they are looking around every corner for a snake? But mainly, you want to be able to move in your storage shed and have access to your things with ease.
A good shed has everything all of this if it is designed with you in mind. In fact there is help, advice, and instructions that can aid in your construction of a beautiful shed at prices you will jump over.
