You can't keep your outdoor tools outside because of the weather but you don't want them cluttering up your garage either. The solution is a storage shed that can be built off site and delivered in one piece to your location. There are a wide variety of sheds to choose from and you will be sure to find one that will 
fit with your landscape.

If you have an image of an outdoor shed as an ugly metal enclosure forget it. Quality sheds built from wood or vinyl will add to your landscape and not detract from it. Before you start considering what style you want for your property, you must first consider how you plan to use it. Is it going to be a place to store the lawnmower and yard tools? Is the shed the spot for the backyard games and athletic equipment to be kept or the pool toys? Knowing how it will be used will help you select the size you need.

Sheds come in a wide variety of sizes and configurations. Consider where it will be placed and then try 
to choose a size that fits your needs but also one that fits the space and won't look out of place. The smallest prefabricated sheds are 6x8 feet and range all the way up to 14x40. You can pick the size of the door opening you need and decide if you want windows and how many.

There are a wide variety of styles of storage sheds that are sold as well. The Mini Barn is a very standard model and the least expensive. A Hi Barn model is also available which provides maximum storage space. You will want to choose a model that goes well with your house or other buildings on the property. There are Victorian and Quaker styles that may be more suitable to your needs and they can be customizable with shutters, flower boxes and a ridge vent.
