Homeowners often buy or build a storage shed to hold lawn
equipment like a tractor or lawnmower as well as other tools and
supplies. The shed can hold kids’ toys, pet items, and home repair
materials like tiles or siding.
You can have a lawn shed built by an expert craftsmen who will assemble
the parts of a kit. Prices range from $1,500 to more than $3,000
depending on the size. Or you can build the shed yourself for less,
either using a kit or designing your own.
When you put up a shed, find out if you need a building permit. In some
communities the county building inspector will have to issue a permit
since some areas don’t allow sheds even on personal property. You may
have to set it up a certain amount of distance from your house,
especially if you plan to keep animals in it.
Sheds can be used for many types of purposes. Some are small enough to
hold a few basic pieces of equipment, like a generator, patio furniture
during the winter, or yard tools. Others can accommodate a lawn tractor
or several kinds of children’s larger items, like a sandbox or
bicycles, and perhaps even a small swimming pool when it is not in use.
Larger sheds can be used as personal offices. Some people have them
carpeted, sided, and wallpapered inside with finished walls and floors
along with doors and windows.
Most sheds can be purchased with a loft design, which provides
additional storage space and keeps things off the ground, like animal
feed or bales of hay, so animals or rodents won’t nest inside them. For
cosmetic effects, you can buy shutters or window boxes for the windows,
along with a porch and steps for the front.
