With Spring just around the corner, it it time to start thinking about storage. Garden sheds can be the answer to that question of storage for seasonal items. Whether in an a house or an apartment a shed can be a great investment for keeping your unused belongings clean and safe and the best part is it won't have monthly fees!Like the sound of that?To help you choose the right shed and get the most of it consider these things....
First, you'll want to think about what the shed's primary purpose will be. Is it simply for storing outdoor equipment- lawnmowers, garden tools, the inflatable kiddie pool? If so, a small, simple flat roof structure will suffice. They're easily portable and ideal for areas in which space is limited. If, on the other hand, you intend to become part of the furniture of your shed, you'll want plenty of headroom. A gable roofed shed will provide all the work and head space you need, with the added benefit of a ridge beam for strength and stability. Gable truss sheds are similar in design to garages but lower in cost, allowing for plentiful work and storage space
Restricted space- Choose either a flat roof or skillion roof model as these are the smallest in the range and offer convenience and ease. The compact design means the sheds are easy to assemble and can be moved if required.To make better use of your garden shed, install shelving units that hang or stand to house more equipment than you can fit onto the floor of the unit.Locating your shed close to your house (or even car spot in an apartment) will make it easier and those items housed inside the shed more accessible.By adding an adjustable louvre window you can then regulate the air flow to assist in controlling the temperature inside your garden shed.By adding a perspex skylight as an option, you can the natural light in your shed
Climate is another critical consideration. If you reside in a cyclone prone area, it's likely you'll face severe restrictions regarding the type of structures you're permitted to erect in your backyard. The good news is that there's a special model of cyclone proof shed available- completely legal in areas such as Rockhampton, Darwin, Cairns, Broome, Mackay, and Townsville- and 100 percent safe.
