Tool sheds now
come in many different styles, colors, sizes,
designs, materials, and finishes.
When you think “tool shed,” what comes to
mind? The tool shed of yesteryear was a rusty,
sagging, desolate-looking thing with a crooked
door sitting on dirt in a patch of weeds. Who
would want to store valuable tools in such a
decrepit structure? Even the high-quality sheds
of yesteryear had a bland or unattractive look
about them and were better hidden behind the
house and out of sight to the greatest extent
possible.
Today’s tool shed is a different story. Tool
sheds now come in many different styles, colors,
sizes, designs, materials, and finishes. The
freestanding tool shed that looks like a little
house is the most common type. It can be easily
adapted to match any style of house. You can
shingle it in beach-house style or add
gingerbread trim or gables for a Victorian look.
Some sheds look like log cabins or mountain
retreats, adding beauty to your yard.
The lean-to shed and other space-saving sheds
are designed to nestle into the side of your
house or garage. If wood or metal, they can be
painted and trimmed to match your color scheme.
Freestanding cabinet-type tool sheds can be
moved, combined, and rearranged easily.
Appearance is important, but it’s not
everything. What’s on the inside counts, too.
When choosing a tool shed, look carefully inside
to make sure it either has enough shelving
already or that more shelving can be easily
added if it’s needed. Will the shed be good for
storing the kinds of tools you have? Is it high
enough to store your tall tools upright and wide
enough for your work bench? Will the flooring it
comes with support the weight of your generator
or riding mower, or do you need to lay a
concrete foundation first? Last, is it the right
size overall for your yard? It shouldn’t
overwhelm your backyard or block your favorite
view.
