Storage Buildings Are for Pack Rats

Do you consider yourself a pack rat? Some people don’t like to do away with their old possessions. Whether it is for practical or sentimental reasons, some of us rather keep our things and find the room for them rather than throw or give them away. A storage building is a perfect product for a self-proclaimed pack rat.

Storage buildings address common problems with household storage. There may be limited room in your attic, basement, or garage. Over time, your space will become less and less limited until you’re pretty much paying rent or mortgage to store your things rather than for your own living space. It doesn’t have to be that way; storage buildings are a practical and economical solution for those who do not want to get rid of their belongings.

Do you have a spouse or children who do not share in your tendencies to keep old items? Rather than get into disagreements over space or items that you should keep, you can establish a storage building in your backyard. The process is quick and you’ll always have a place to keep your things or conveniently retrieve them when needed.

Some seek commercial storage solutions. This can be an answer, yet how convenient is it to get in your car and drive to the storage facility whenever you may need an item? Furthermore, you have to consider the ongoing costs. A storage facility can become another bill you have to pay per month. A storage facility is something you can have forever and can actually improve the value of your home!

Don’t be embarrassed or get into disagreements with family members because you’re a pack rat. Realize the solution of purchasing a storage building. We have a large number of items in stock. If you don’t see anything you love, talk to our specialists about getting a storage building built to your specifications. We have served thousands of happy customers; we want you to be the next!

Choose Siding for Your New Storage Building

A storage building is a useful property implementation.  It can be used for storing tools, doing craftwork, housing lawn equipment, and more.  We provide our customers with several options in regard to the siding of their storage buildings.  Read about our exterior siding options.

T1-11

This choice features a natural wood-grained look.  The choice is celebrated by those who enjoy the emulation of a small wood cabin.  T1-11 was once the most popular choice, but other innovations have taken shape and some of the popularity away from it.  However, those who desire a more natural look still decide on our T1-11 siding.

Hardi-Plank

Green products are popular as more people become concerned about the environment and their own contributions to a green planet.  Hardi-Plank siding is an alternative to other traditional options.  Hardi-Plank or fiber cement siding is a composite material associated with the green movement; implementation of the material saves endangered trees and does not release harmful chemicals into the environment.  The new-age siding material closely resembles wood when implemented on your storage building.

29-Gauge Steel Panels

29-gauge steel is the most durable choice of siding for your storage building.  This steel siding will last a lifetime and the color options provide the opportunity to match the look of your house.  Steel storage buildings can be purchased as certified or non-certified for wind speed and snow load requirements.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding has grown in popularity over the years. Storage building owners like the material due to low maintenance and economic pricing.  Our storage buildings feature vinyl siding installed over OSB (oriented stand board) for strength and endurance purposes.  This choice of siding will not flake or rot.  Like steel siding, vinyl siding is available in an array of colors.

Three Ideas for a Shed You May Not Have Thought About

Have you ever considered purchasing a shed?  Many people automatically think about storage in regard to a shed.  Yes, sheds are absolutely great for the purpose of storage, but there are more purposes to address.  Have you ever thought of the following possibilities?

Do you enjoy staying in shape but hate the idea of going to the gym amongst strangers?  A shed can be transformed into a fitness or weight room.  You can fit exercise bikes, weight benches, and other fitness items in a decently-sized shed.  Think about installing a chin-up bar on the wall and add vents and windows for fresh air and ventilation.  You can finance a shed and find purchasing one is cheaper than a year’s membership at a gym.

Do you work from home or supplement your income doing freelance or consultation work?  You may find it hard to establish a ‘working area’ within the home because your home has always been associated with rest.  It can be easy to establish an office space right outside of your backdoor.  With the endless opportunities supplied by the Web, you can search for ways to supplement your income.  A shed can offer a space of peace and quiet in order to do your work.

Kids need a lot of space to play but it may be a source of anxiety for parents who like to keep a clean house.  Ashed offers a safe place for kids to play close to the home without being in the home.  Every kid loves the thought of a ‘clubhouse.’  This way, you won’t have to devote space in your home for a playroom and the kids can be as loud and messy as they want.  You could help them establish a theme for the shed such as a pirate ship or knight’s castle.

Is It Time for a Storage Shed?

Is it time for a storage shed? Do you have a clutter of things in your garage or around the side of your house? Do you hesitate to make new tool and garden purchases because you have no place for them? If this sounds all too familiar then it may be time for a storage shed.  To start, maybe you need to think of the uses for a storage shed. You can use a shed to store just about anything. Use one to store tools, garden supplies, sporting equipment, small tractors, motorcycles, etc. In addition, you can use a storage shed for hobbies such as making art. Do the kids need a playroom? The shed can become a clubhouse for them.

Secondly, you need to survey how much space you have to establish your outdoor shed. If you want to store something large such as a tractor or lawn equipment, you’ll want to be sure that the shed offers dimensions to house such items. If you want your shed to serve multiple functions, then maybe it would be best to purchase a larger one if you have the room to spare.  Sheds are offered in different materials. Choose from metal, wood, and vinyl sheds. Depending on preference, your geographic location, and the money you are willing to spend, you may decide one type of material is better than the others. Each type offers its advantages and disadvantages.

There are a lot of additions and extras you can implement such as windows, ventilation, and ramps. Your needed extras may depend on what purposes you will address with your shed. It is better to decide on the extras before you purchase the storage shed rather than attempt to implement them after the purchase.

Some people think that it is cheaper to build their own shed. This is not advised unless you are highly skilled. Even if you are handy, it may be difficult to duplicate the craftsmanship that is associated with professionally-built sheds.

Improve the Look of Your Outdoor Shed

Congratulations on the purchase of your outdoor shed.  You want to ensure your shed always looks great so you are proud of the investment.  Read the following suggestions.

    • Wash your shed regularly to remove dirt, stains, and residue.  Depending on the shape of your product, there may be many crevices.  It is best to get the dirt out of there with a steel brush and then wash it off.

 

    • Sometimes, your outdoor shed may get dents that you can fix from the inside with a rubber hammer.  Do not try to address the issue from the outside as to avoid making the dent look worse.

 

    • Over time, some pieces may come loose due to severe weather.  Use appropriate and powerful glue to place the parts back onto the skeleton of your shed.

 

    • If you would like to paint your outdoor shed, then ensure that you lay down tarp on the inside and make a separation with tape on the portions you do not want painted.

 

  • Think of dressing the outside of your shed with ornaments, bird feeders, plants, etc.  Think about creating a theme for your shed according to the time of year or your geographic location.

Options for Your Outdoor Sheds

Outdoor sheds are desired by many homeowners for a multitude of reasons.  Outdoor sheds provide extra space, hold yard and garden equipment, and can be used as a hobby room or play space for children.

Some people opt to build outdoor sheds themselves while others purchase them from local and online suppliers.  If you discuss your purchase with a vendor, they will fill you in on available options you may not know about.

Read the following options to provide you with some ideas and help make your outdoor shed take shape.

A lot of people use their outdoor sheds to house equipment such as mowers, bikes, and tractors.  Depending on the size of your equipment, you may want to think about installing a ramp to help get vehicles in and out of your shed.  For instance, if you are housing bicycles, then getting them in and out of the shed should not present too much of a problem.  On the contrary, if you are storing a motorcycle, ATV, or larger motor vehicle, then you will want to make it as easy as possible to get them out.  In addition to a ramp, think about purchasing an outdoor shed with an enlarged door way to ensure large items can fit in and out.

Depending on how your estate is structured, you may or may not have a garage.  A garage is an optimal place to store tools – especially if you are a contractor or handy person who makes a living from using them.  Those with a lot of tools may opt to have outdoor sheds constructed with built-in shelving.  Shelving provides enough space to neatly stack tools and easily find them when needed.

Some people may plan to spend a lot of time in their outdoor sheds in order to perform work, arts and crafts, or other tasks.  If you intend to spend time in your shed then think about installing a skylight to brighten the interior.  In addition, fix gable or ridge vents to your shed so hot air can escape from the inside.
