Choosing the Correct Shed Size



There are quite a few very effective methods to determine how much room is enough room.  Let me start out by saying, there is no such thing as enough room!!  When storing items you have to be organized and efficient, as well as diligent to place things back where they belong.  Being in the storage industry for over 10 years, customers time and time again will often share the same sentiment..."I wish I went with a bigger shed".

The first thing to determine is exactly what you are putting in your shed.  Once you narrow down what is staying and what is getting thrown out, you now need to anticipate future purchases.  This is the one area that many people fail to explore.  If you have a push mower and know that in 5-10 years you will want a riding mower, take that into account.

For customers with garages that are full it is a little easier.  First off empty your garage and grab some masking tape.  Tape out the area of the desired shed size.  Next start filling that box.  Keep in mind that you will need room to navigate around larger items to gain access to the smaller items.  You will quickly realize that the empty 10X12 shed that you viewed on our lot may now not be quite large enough.

A great way to fit your possessions is to off set your double door.  By doing so you increase wall space and also ensure your mower will not be directly in the center,  By strategically using peg board, shelves, and storage lofts, you can easily organize the smaller items that you amy not use every day.

By using Pine Creek Structures interactive tool it will help you to determine how much can fit into your shed.  It's easy to use - just click on the link: Interactive Shed Sizer and then start dragging your items into the box.
