Modern Shed Designs to Complement Your Home
When you want to have a shed on your property, you don't have to try to find a place for it so that it won't be visible to visitors. In the past, a shed was a small outbuilding that was probably never painted and was just an extra storage area. Today, the concept of sheds has changed, which is why there are many different shed designs available. You can have outdoor sheds for storing your tools and garden implements that actually look like small guest cottages on your property. They come with window boxes, gables, shutters and many people have electricity in their sheds so that they serve as workshops.
You can choose a shed design from books or magazines and buy plans for the sheds online or at your local home improvement store. Some of the shed plans come in kits so that you get all the materials you need to build the shed for one price. The kits have directions for building the shed and a list of the tools you will need for the construction.
If you are looking for a shed with low maintenance, then you should look at the many designs available in metal sheds. Today's sheds have double walls and are insulated, which means you can still spend some time in them during the colder winter months. With the special coatings applied to the metal, they are resistant to rust and corrosion and you won't need to scrape and paint them every year.If you build a wooden shed you can also put vinyl siding on the outside, which will eliminate the need for painting or staining. Most of the metal sheds on the market now also have siding so you can color coordinate them with the exterior of your home.
When you search online you will be able to find many free plans for sheds. There are also many available for download for a fee, but the beauty of looking online is that you can download the plans to your computer. You can customize some of these plans to meet your needs and the construction diagrams show you exactly what you have to do in the construction phase.
In the line of designs for sheds you have many choices. You can build a simple storage shed or a playhouse for the children. You can separate the shed so that part of it is for storage and part of it is for your workshop where you can work on your woodworking or another hobby. A shed also works well as a greenhouse when you have plenty of windows to let in the light and the heat from the sun. You can get a head start on your gardening when you have such a shed in your backyard.
Some of the designs for wooden sheds include the salt box design, a shed with a barn style roof, or even one that is built on to your house. Before you start building a shed consider the reasons you need one and then start looking for a design in which you will have all the room you need. You do need to make sure you have enough room on your property for the shed and that you have all the appropriate municipal permits in place before you start construction.
