We have two sheds. One is metal job we got a number of years ago and the other is a wood one that hubby built from a kit about four years ago (I helped too -
- really!).
Both are used for storage. The metal shed is in the backyard proper and that is where we store the lawn mower, wheelbarrow, bag caddy. The hose caddies go in there for the winter. The pool cover and water blocks go in there in the summer, and there is a large box for storing the pool toys in the winter. Hubby put in metal shelves running along one wall - only about waist height. One side is for lots of gardening stuff - baskets, pottery, potting soil, fertilizers, yard bags, small hand tools, knee pads, etc. The other side is for the pool cover and water blocks during the summer months and in the winter the other stuff just sort of moves over there so tomorrow when we open the pool we will have to rearrange and make room for the cover and water blocks.
The newer, wood shed is at the head of our driveway. It is in an area sort of like a no-man's land. There is a wood fence between it and the driveway and there is a chainlink fence and abovorites on the other side separating it from the pool area. In this area we also store all our gargage cans. This shed stores all the outdoor furniture and the pool's filter during the winter months and we move our bicycles into it during the summer time.
Neither shed has electricity. Neither shed has skylights or windows. The older, metal shed needs a new paint job. Neither shed has a potting area. I do that stuff on the patio or deck and always get mad at myself for making such a mess!
The metal shed is 10x10 with a single door. The door is too low! I always have to duck or I hit my head.
The wood shed is 8x8 and has double doors that are a good height- no head hitting there!
The wood shed is also high off the ground due to leveling situation. Ramp was to be built but never was but really isn't needed.
Lengthy post but you asked...
