How to Choose a Shed
Getting a storage shed can be more exciting than it sounds. Yes, it serves the very useful purpose of storing and organizing your outdoor equipment, but it really doesn’t stop there.
Think about it like this: an outdoor shed is a place to store your tools, and with the space for more tools, you have the opportunity to try building new things. A garden shed is perfect for an avid gardener with an ever-growing collection of niche gardening instruments. It means that you get to grow more and get even more involved in the intricacies of growing outdoors. A storage shed gives you space to clear up the clutter from your home and more room to enjoy the people you love.
All Palram – Canopia sheds have our trademark features like the skylight transmission to provide natural light and are highly durable. The only question is, which shed works best for you?
Here is how to choose which shed is right for you!
What do you want to store in it?
You might be tired of cleaning up the mess from the raccoons getting into your garbage in search of chicken bones and want the Voyager 2’x4′ to store your bins. Whatever you need it for, we have the right size shed for you.
Decide where you want to put it
Before you choose a shed, you need to know where to put it. Both in terms of where it works for you and adhering to local building codes. You will need to use a level ground surface for the foundation, preferably concrete or a wood deck, so if those already exist in your outdoor space, you may want to consider that location or where you can add that. Once you know where it will be, consider whether you need a floor for your shed. We offer various options to provide that extra protection for your outdoor things. Knowing where you will put it, will also help with the next step.
Choose the design
Design is something you want to plan for as well. If you’re looking for a classic shape, we’ve got the Skylight or Yukon series. If you want something inconspicuous, the Pent might fit your home aesthetic best.
Look at the different sheds and colors available and imagine them in your outdoor space. If you need help choosing, you can always reach out to us for a hand.
