Tips for finding the right size shed

If your thinking about what size shed you need then here are a few pointers…

Bike storage shed plans

1. Get one larger than you think you need

There is no end to the stuff that you accumulate, but there is a limit on your shed.

2. Make sure the door opening is big enough

It's good to make sure that the doors open so you can get your rideon mower and other stuff in there!

3. Think about the small stuff

Shelving can save you a lot of space. Hooks are a great idea for long handled tools but shelving is important for smaller items. So when you buy a shed, give yourself enough room for one end to be shelving.

4. Watch your head

Sheds are typically measured on their footprint (i.e. 10x10ft.) But height is important in a shed. If it is high enough you can get some attic storage happening.

5. Measure your equipment/tools/stuff first

If your really keen, get everything you want to put in your shed out in the yard and measure around it. You'll can be surprised how much stuff you have that the wife wants out of the house!
