Admit it; the shed in the backyard is falling down. The roof has been leaking, the glass in the windows are cracked, the door is hanging on one hinge, roaches and other critters have made their home under the wet wood, and the last thing you wanted to see was a trail of chewed cardboard boxes and plastic bins.
It is time to build a new storage shed. You know thewooden shed is the best idea. The old backyard shed stood there for almost a hundred years. You hated to part with it because of the many family stories and memories of the good old days.
Your old shed is not historical it just had many memories for the folks that used it, including yourself. The shed had served three generations and now it is time to knock down the crumbling shack. Plans for sheds are now needed; excuses have been exhausted.
What type of shed do you want to build? What type of shed will serve your needs? Plans for sheds are not what they used to be. Many of them can have electricity and plumbing. There are many styles to choose from and within those styles there is an assortment of choices. The easiest solution is to narrow your preferences to your lifestyle needs.
People are discovering that sheds also add property value. You can try to anticipate what type of shed should be built that would also satisfy new homeowners if you should sell your property in the future. But future guessing is difficult. If you are planning to continue living in your current home for a while, build a shed that fits your needs.
Review your lifestyle. Make a list, ask family members for their suggestions, recommendations and ideas. The list will help you to see what your priorities are for yourself and for your family.
Here is a sample checklist:
lawnmower,
wheelbarrow
garden tools
water sports equipment
snow mobile
bicycles
land sports equipment
exercise equipment
old dollhouse
old trunk
auto, motorized equipment, auto and bicycle tools
Review your list. Make a decision as to what is to be discarded, donated or sold in a garage sale. Do shop for storge bins and shelving to assist with organization. It is worthwhile to do some window shopping to help with the decision of constructing your own woodworking projects or to purchase ready made metal or plastic shelving, storage bins, and other types of organizational products.
Types of sheds to be considered:
Lean to for wheelbarrow, large garden tools, and garden hoses.
Garden shed to organize plants, plant supplies, equipment, and tools.
Motor shed to house snow mobile, water sports equipment, bicycles, and tools.
