3 Organization Tips for Your Storage Buildings

You’re searching for the right storage building for your property. You’ve considered your building’s future location, your climate, and your own personal aesthetic preferences.

Now it’s time to consider how much space you’ll need, and how to maximize the efficiency of your new shed or barn. The trick to efficient storage is to make the best use of all the available space.

Here are three great places to start.

  • Go through those boxes. This may seem obvious, but know what you’re storing and why you’re keeping it. You may find that you’re planning to store things you no longer need or want. Donating, selling, recycling, or tossing unnecessary items will free up potential space.
  • Your shed is more than just floor space. Consider using the walls,roof, rafters, and ceiling to hang sports and lawn and garden equipment.
  • Plan ahead for seasonal storage. Will your new shed or barn hold seasonal items? Create a space in your shed or barn that will remain accessible and rotate your items seasonally. For example, in the spring, you’ll need your lawn mower, so your snowblower and shovels can move to the back.

Now that you’ve got an organizational plan, you’ll be in a better position to choose the perfect storage building for your needs.

Give Your Car a Home With a Portable Garage

If you find yourself scraping frost, snow and ice off your windshield during the winter months because you don’t have a shelter for your car, it might be time to take a look at portable garages.

A portable garage is an ideal large storage solution and the perfect place to protect your vehicle from the elements. But before you have a large structure delivered to your home, there are a few things you should do to prepare.

First of all, think about where your garage will be located. You’ll want to choose a spot with a reasonably flat area, but it does not need to be perfectly level–the garage can be leveled to the existing terrain. Although the building can be placed on a foundation such as gravel or concrete, this is not neccessary for a proper installation.

Next, you’ll need to contact your local city and county agencies to get information with regard to zoning, permits, setbacks, and covenants. If you have a homeowners association you must check with them as well, to see if there are any applicable neighborhood rules and regulations.

Finally, decide what type and style of garage will work best for you. Don’t neglect to get all the measurements beforehand to ensure that your garage can be installed in your desired spot.

Once you’ve done all the necessary planning, your new sturdy, maintenance-free garage can be delivered and set up. With a strong floor designed to support your car as well as power equipment, motorcycles, ATVs and just about anything else you can fit inside of it, a portable garage makes a great spot for extra storage. Just be sure to leave enough room for your car!

If you decide to buy or rent to own a portable garage, there will definitely be some planning involved. But when you climb into your vehicle and drive away without having to scrape anything off the windshield, it will be well worth it.

A little landscaping makes utility sheds shine

You finally reclaimed your garage and got that new utility shed out back, but as you look at it now your sense of accomplishment is tempered. It’s a beautiful shed, just the right size to fit all your gardening equipment, your lawnmower and now you have the space you need to work on all those long-delayed projects, but something is missing. Then it hits you — landscaping.

That utility shed will look even better when you get a few low-maintenance plants around the foundation, some strategically placed flowering shrubs, some perennials on the outer edges to bring a bit of color and a good layer of mulch the keep the weeds down and your utility shed becomes a beautiful part of your landscape. Those barren spaces around your new shed could also be the perfect spot to put out a few fruit and vegetable plants (tomatoes, peppers, squash).

Or, what about a path so that you don’t have to walk through the muck to get to your new utility building? There are plenty of options to consider from a simple gravel/stone walkways to imbedded stepping stones to more ornate brick-paver walking tracks linked to existing walkways, decks or driveways.

Your new wood or metal utility building does not have to be an eyesore. It can be one of the focal points on your property. Your new shed can meet all your needs for storage, organization, work and play space and be a star in your landscape plan as well.

Running Out of Room? Outdoor Sheds to the Rescue

The closets in the house are filled to capacity and you’ve used all available space inside of your garage. It’s time to consider purchasing an outdoor storage shed. You’ve no doubt seen many of these in backyards everywhere. Storage sheds come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and materials. But how do you decide which is the best type of shed for your use?

The first step is to decide exactly how much space you will need. Are you planning to just store tools and other smaller items or larger items such as a riding lawn mower and other sizeable machinery? Storage sheds run the gamut in size from a small utility building to a large barn cabin style. Perhaps you may even want space to set up your own workshop for woodworking, gardening, or other projects. Regardless of the purpose, it is best to decide ahead of time how much space you will need and where the shed will be placed. Your storage needs may increase in years to come, so it is best to purchase a shed that has more room than you presently require. Naturally, the cost of the shed will vary greatly with the size. While smaller sheds starting in the hundreds of dollars to the larger sized standalone sheds that will cost thousands.

Be sure to select a shed that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, especially if it will be easily visible neighbors. Additionally, if you reside in a community with a homeowners association, check into any required guidelines for the shed as well as any city ordinances. Some larger sheds may require a building permit from the city.

Storage sheds come in a variety of materials such as vinyl, metal, or wood. Wood sheds, however, are the best when it comes to quality and durability. There are many styles available such as barn or ranch with options like windows, double doors, and skylights.

If you are in the market for a storage shed or building, be sure to access the American Barn Group online for a complete selection of structures offered by several companies. There you will find photos and specifications of many types of storage sheds that are sure to suit your needs.
