When it comes to adding a premium shed to your property, there are several factors to consider ensuring you make the best choice for your needs. Let’s investigate the key questions you might have.
What is the Best Shed Material?
The material of your shed will significantly impact its durability, maintenance, and appearance. Here are the most common options:
- Wood: Offers a classic look and can be customized easily. However, it requires regular maintenance to prevent rot and insect damage.
- Metal Roof: Durable and low maintenance but can be prone to rust and may not be as aesthetically pleasing.
What Size Should a Shed Be?
The size of your shed depends on its intended use. Here are some general guidelines:
- Small (8-10 ft.): Ideal for storing gardening, golf cart storage, bikes, tools, and outdoor lawn equipment.
- Medium (12-18 ft.): Suitable for small workshops of many sorts, pool houses, barns or additional storage.
- Large (over 18 ft.): Perfect to use as a garage, a large workshop, or even as a small office space.

What Type of Shed Roof is Best?
The best style roof for a shed is often the metal roof, but it all depends on usage, e.g. if you need a Greenhouse, you want sunlight shining through a roof with more transparent panels.
What Color Shed Should I Get?
Choosing a color for your shed is completely up to you and what you prefer for your yard’s aesthetics. You can pick a predetermined color, we can closely match the color of your house, or even create a custom color.
How Much Does Shed Installation Cost?
Delivery and installation depend on the distance, size of your shed or outdoor structure, and even if your structure will be delivered already assembled or if it will be built on site.
How Do You Light an Outdoor Shed?
- Natural Light: Install windows or transoms to maximize daylight.
- Solar Lighting: This is an eco-friendly option that doesn’t require wiring. It is ideal for areas without easy access to electricity and if you do not want to purchase an electrical package to have an electrician install.
By considering these factors, you can choose the perfect shed that meets your needs and complements your property. Happy shed shopping! 🛠️🏡
