The most common way to categorize wooden sheds is by the type of roof they have. For example, gambrel, salt box, lean-to, etc. Since it doesn't really matter much which kind of roof your shed has, they can also be categorized by how you use them. Here is a list and descriptions of the five most popular uses for wooden sheds:
1. Storage Shed
Storage sheds are the most basic type of shed. To keep out potential thieves, they usually don't have any windows - just four walls, floor, roof and door. These sheds can have either a floor made from wood that is built on a frame or a floor made from poured concrete. Its really important to have a well organized shed since there isn't much space in a small shed to begin with.
2. Sheds for Gardening
The most convenient item for your garden may be a garden shed (certainly if your garden is a fair distance from your house or garage). If you've ever needed to get to your tools right away and couldn't find the one you were looking for, then you should know how handy a garden shed can be since that is its main purpose. They are also a convenient place to store all your gardening supplies and even a potting bench.
3. Tool Sheds
So your wife is tired of seeing your tools piled up in the garage. Just like a storage shed, the tool shed is a secure place to put all of your tools in one place. Add a workbench, some cabinets, shelves, pegboards and your all set. Work to your heart's content and you won't hear any more complaining - except maybe, "why are you always out in the tool shed?"
4. Converted Sheds
A personal favorite of mine, the converted shed is easy to have just by converting it from one purpose (or use) to another. You can also easily change it into an artist studio, pool cabana, and so on. If you want to make a mini retreat, simply add some paint, cozy furniture, a nice rug and your all set.
5. Playhouses
You could either build a playhouse for this specific purpose or you can take an existing shed and make it into a playhouse as described in the above paragraph. Its just as easy to convert back once it has been outgrown by the kids.
Depending on your own needs, there are certainly many more ways to categorize wooden sheds. These are just the five most common. And, hopefully, you will find it necessary to build a wooden shed in your own backyard. - 16890
