5 Reasons Why Sheds are Worth the Buy

Outdoor storage sheds may seem like they’re not important or even worth the purchase.  Sheds however can do a lot more than just store things.  There are 5 reasons on why outdoor storage sheds are important.

Here’s a breakdown of each reason:

1. Protect Assets– Yes, If the shed is built well, like our sheds at keensbuildings.com you’ll notice that anything stored in the shed will be protected from the external forces mother nature can bring. Over time you’ll pay a lot of money for tools and equipment that you’ll use around your house. This will protect equipment from rusting and all other sorts of external damage the equipment can face. With a keensbuilding shed you’ll be able to protect everything stored in it.  Our sheds are very tough, strong, and long lasting, making it an investment that overtime can carry a return by just protecting all of your equipment.

2. More added interior space– With all of the clutter we tend to purchase these days, it can be very annoying to have clutter all around the house. Sheds can clear up the clutter with the extra storage space.  This is actually very mentally clearing and it will benefit the mind emotionally. More space is always a beautiful thing!

3. Make your home or business look great- Here at keens buildings we actually try to make our sheds look great. We know looks aren’t everything but they can add value to the look of your home or business.  Sheds can then help your real estate just look great.  For example, if you have a lot of equipment in your garage and if that was all moved to the shed, it will make your garage look great and of course our sheds will make your house look great.

4.Organization- At Keens we have big outdoor storage sheds. These work miracles with organization. Our 12×24 shed is a great example… it’s huge and with all of this space, you can organize all of your stuff so well. Whether if it’s for office storage, or equipment storage, this will be the best out storage investment you’ll ever make.

5. Portability –  Besides the amazing amount of added space, storage sheds can be portable. No need to fear your next move. This shed can be your lifetime real estate with its easy ability to move.

All of these benefits are just reasons on why it might actually be worth the buy the next time you get frustrated when you know you need extra added space around.

Carports with Additional Storage Areas

There are carports that have been designed with additional storage areas built on to them so that the owner can enjoy having all of the great qualities that a custom built garage has to offer without having to pay an installation crew to build one. A carport is a structure that covers your vehicle or other large piece of equipment that must be kept outdoors such as a tractor or riding lawn mower.

Many people who own these items may not have a garage connected to their home and therefore they need to purchase a building or structure like a carport to keep their expensive lawn equipment or vehicle protected from harmful weather or other outdoor elements.

While a standard carport is able to serve the purpose well, a carport that has additional storage space added on to it offers even more benefits because it can provide you with extra space to store away smaller lawn equipment, garden tools, or large storage containers that are full of seasonal decorations.

There are also some carports that can be used as barns, and have compartments where livestock can rest and tractors or other farm equipment can be stored away. This is a very convenient option for people who have small farms with one or two horses or cows on their land. They do not have to invest in having a large barn built when they only need an area for a handful of animals to stay. These barn ‘carports’ are made out of high quality metals that are built to last and withstand everything that nature has to throw at them.

Many carport companies will also have metal buildings in stock as well that can provide you with adequate storage space for all of your lawn equipment or seasonal holiday decorations. These steel buildings can also add value to the price of your property and a metal building will hold up much longer and provide more protection than a standard wooden storage shed could.

Isn’t it time for a change from your wood garage?

Steel garages have come a long way in the past years and are changing the minds of most home owners that do not already have built-in garages. Unlike most steel garages, Keen’s has the option to allow you to customize your next garage, allowing it to have a personal touch and match your established home.

More importantly, Keen’s steel garages come with a quality and strength like none other. Before steel garages came about, we only had one option to contact a designer to create a wood garage from scratch. Although these wood garages were totally customizable, they came with a lot of cons such as production time, money spent verses home value, weather challenges and termite infestations.  Then as time pasted and the popularity of steel garages came about, most consumers realized that the benefits of a steel garage exceeded those of a wood garage except they all looked the same.

Some things to take note with Keen’s steel garages are that they will be:

  • Termite proof
  • Water-Resistant
  • Ideal for all weather
  • Not highly flammable as wood is

 

With Keen’s steel Garages, you not only get the high quality production of the steel and all of its benefits but you are able to do something most cannot with their steel garage; personalize.

Metal Structures are Just Easier to Maintain

Sometimes we will ask our customers are Keens Buildings why they made the decision to switch to a steel building to house their possessions.  The answer we most commonly get is the fact that they are easier to maintain then other types of structures that may be made of wood for instance.  Have you ever owned a structure that was made from wood?  Did it eventually start to rot and suffer the effects of deterioration?  Those effects are natural in wood based products and come as a result of wear and tear.  There is literally nothing you can do about it.  A metal garage or carport will give you the piece of mind to know that you will not have to deal with that rotting or insect damage that wood structures are often known for.

When is the last time you have seen a steel or metal structure have some kind of mold or mildew issue?  Probably not too often and this is why we are seeing more and more people coming over to the side of metal structures.  People in the past balked at carports or other steel structures because the cost was high.  This is simply not the case anymore.  In fact we find we can almost best the price of our wood-based competitors almost every time.  A more durable product as a comparable if not cheaper price sounds like a no brainer to us.

Are you new to even the concept of a metal carport?  If so, then let us know and we will be able to educate in whatever aspect of the industry you are curious about.  At Keens Buildings this is what we do. We specialize in all things carports and metal structures and our goal is a 100% positive experience for you.

The Unique Design of RV Carports

At Keens Buildings did you know that we design carports for your camper or RV?  Some of us have bigger vehicles that simply cannot fit within the confines of a normal carport and for that reason we work with our buyers to tailor the dimensions of their carport to fit their specific  housing needs. In the past when we have gone over some preliminary steps to consider when designing your carport this is why we mention measuring the space out as one of the first things that shou d be done.  Not measuring in advance could lead to problems especially when dealing with a bigger vehicle like an RV.

While measuring you want to leave a couple extra inches both height and width wise just to be safe in order to allow proper clearance for your bigger vehicle.  Along with measuring the area that you would like to put the carport in on your property it is also vital that you cut back any branches that may have made its way near or in close proximity to the area where you want to build.  Ensure that all of this clearing has been done prior to any kind of install as it can really hamper the install process.

We are ready and waiting at Keens Buildings to walk you through your carport buying experience if you need us to do so.  At minimum we are here to answer any questions you may have about the structures we sell and any lingering thoughts or concerns you have about our installation process as well.  We ship to all lower 48 states from our different distribution centers around the country and have installers ready to come to your property and make you carport dreams a reality.

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!
