What Will the Backyard Shed Store?

Whether you are considering a large metal storage shed or a small metal storage shed, the ultimate goal is to understand what this space will be able to store for you. It's no good buying a shed that's too big. It may take up too much space in your backyard and limit how you can use that space. On the other hand, a shed that is too small for you will soon no longer be used, usually leading to the purchase of a second shed. Most importantly, you must have some knowledge of what can be stored in each side shed. Here are some helpful tips.

1.5x3 shed
A 5 x 3 tool shed provides a considerable amount of storage space for many people. Usually, you can place several pieces of outdoor furniture here, such as some folding or stackable chairs. You can set up some doors for gardening, or you can set up a wheelbarrow. There isn't much storage space at the moment, but it's enough to store some garden supplies and keep them off the road, especially during the winter months. Making the most of the shed means good organization.

2.6x4 shed
The size of the next shed is 6x4. Here, you have more room for more stuff. For example, you can store your small grill and some gardening tools here during the winter months. In your shed you can store wheelbarrows, ladders and other medium sized items. With shelves, there's room for more seasonally needed items, like patio furniture or kids' toys.

3.8x6 shed
In an 8x6 shed, there is more space for all the summer items you no longer need during the colder months. You can store most of your gardening equipment here, including a rake, garden hose, and maybe even a grass seed sprayer. There should be enough room in this type of shed for your lawn mower, as well as these other items. Your charcoal grill and a few other things are definitely in this area. This is often the best shed for those who want plenty of storage and a smaller space.

4.10x12 shed
A large shed like this will provide enough space for most of your gear. You can buy many of these sizes, including your ATV, push mower, unicycle, and even ride mower, all at the same time. It will also provide enough space for chairs, garden hoses, grills, and other items you may need to store throughout the winter. With good organization of your shed, you can make the most of this space for your work area. Add some shelves to help you keep items and planting tools organized.

The big shed takes up more space in the backyard. However, with this much space, you can organize everything else in your yard or garage and put it in a shed. For many owners, this type of shed is best when there is plenty of equipment to store and enough space on the property to store it.
