Ready to take the next step and invest in a storage solution? Before you dive into the process, there are a few key factors to consider to ensure your new shed meets all your needs. Let’s walk through everything you should think about before making your purchase.

1. Finding the Right Size

Start by assessing how much space you have and what you plan to store. Measure the cleared and leveled area in your yard to determine the maximum size your property can handle. Then, take inventory of what you’ll be storing—yard tools, bikes, boxes, outdoor equipment and more. Don’t forget to measure larger items to ensure they’ll fit comfortably through the doorway and leave room for easy access and additional storage inside.

2. Choosing the Perfect Exterior

Once you’ve determined the size, it’s time to design the outside. Hometown Sheds offers a variety of options to suit your style and needs:

  • Siding Options: Choose from durable vinyl siding, LP Smart Siding, or stained and painted wood finishes. HOA regulations? No problem—we can even create custom color matches to comply with your neighborhood guidelines.
  • Porches: Love spending time outdoors? Add a front or wrap-around porch for extra charm. It’s perfect for seasonal decorations or enjoying a relaxing moment in a rocking chair.

3. Selecting Doors and Windows

Your shed’s functionality depends on the right doors and windows. Adding windows can brighten up the interior while enhancing the exterior’s visual appeal. Door options include:

  • Roll-up doors for storing vehicles or large equipment.
  • Swing doors (single or double) for a classic, secure look.
  • Rampage doors, which combine a ramp and door for ultimate convenience.

4. Customizing the Interior

Tailoring the inside of your shed ensures it works exactly how you need it to. Consider adding:

  • Electricity to power lights, tools, and appliances.
  • Shelving to keep boxes and items organized.
  • Pegboards for hanging tools, decorations, or supplies.
  • Durable flooring to protect your shed from wear and tear.
