What’s the Right Shed for Your Spring Projects?

Spring is a popular time for DIY enthusiasts, gardeners, and homeowners to start prepping for everything, whether it’s sprucing up their yards or taking on a new hobby. But where do you keep all your tools, equipment, and supplies?

A high-quality Amish shed can offer the perfect solution, with versatility that goes beyond basic storage.

A custom-built shed designed for your needs can transform how you work and play. Let's look at some different shed types and see how they can accommodate your personal projects just in time for warmer weather.

 

For the Plant Enthusiast: Gardening Shed

Gardens bloom, and green thumbs come alive in the spring months! If you’re someone who loves to spend time nurturing plants or growing veggies, a greenhouse gardening shed is a good choice.

A well-designed gardening shed provides much-needed space and organization for your favorite pastime. Use a garden shed workshop to:

  • Safely store lawnmowers, rakes, and shovels
  • Keep potting soil and gardening tools in one easy-access spot
  • Organize seeds and give plants shelter during chillier temperatures

Shed Design Tip! Design a shed with work benches and shelves to create a potting station. Use our free online design tool to add these types of customizable features to your shed’s interior.

For the Tool or Gadget Collector: Tool Shed

If your toolbox is bursting at the seams, it might be time to upgrade to a functional tool shed!

A tool shed ensures that all your gadgets, gizmos, and essential supplies are safely stored – and easy to find when you need them. Short on space in your backyard? A lean-to shed might be a great option.

When setting up your tool shed:

  • Include work benches and shelving in your shed design
  • Add other storage solutions like pull cabinets for small tools, or wall hooks for larger items that can’t fit in a drawer or on a shelf

 

For the Hobbyist: Workshop Shed

Love woodworking, painting, or tackling home improvement projects? A workshop shed can give you a dedicated space to get your hands dirty!

When planning a hobby shed:

  • Consider plenty of shelving so you can keep your home and garage free of extra clutter
  • Include enough square footage so you can comfortably move around and have enough space to focus on your work

For the Bike Lover: Bicycle Storage Shed

If you’re a cyclist, you know how hard it can be to keep your bikes safe and organized. So, if you’re often adventuring on two wheels, an outdoor bicycle storage shed can make life easier.

A bicycle storage shed doesn’t just keep your bike secure and protected from the elements. It’s also the perfect space for all your gear, like helmets, pumps, and spare tires.

Features to look for in a bike storage shed include:

  • Durable materials for protection against weather
  • Easy access for removing your gear and putting it back into storage
  • A space-efficient design that can fit even a smaller yard
