When it comes to creating extra storage space in your backyard, a custom shed is one of the best solutions. Whether you need room for gardening tools, outdoor equipment, or simply want a place to organize your seasonal items, the right shed can not only provide you with functionality but also enhance your outdoor space. At Rhode Island Shed Co., we specialize in designing and constructing high-quality, customizable sheds that meet the needs of every homeowner in Rhode Island. With our wide range of sizes, styles, and features, choosing the perfect shed for your backyard can be a fun and easy process.
Why Choose a Custom Shed?
Every backyard has its unique challenges and requirements. With a custom-built shed, you don’t have to settle for a one-size-fits-all option. A custom shed allows you to design your storage solution with specific features that fit your needs, your space, and your budget. At Rhode Island Shed Co., we offer durable construction, customizable features, and a selection of sizes to ensure that your shed not only serves its purpose but adds value to your home.
Before choosing your custom shed, there are several factors to consider, including the size, style, and additional features that will work best for your property and needs. Let’s take a closer look at how to choose the right shed design for your backyard.
1. Choosing the Right Size Shed
When deciding on the size of your custom shed, it’s essential to first assess the available space in your yard. Start by measuring the area where you want the shed to be placed, considering not only the width and length but also the surrounding space. A shed should be accessible and fit into the layout of your landscape while maintaining ease of use and visibility.
Rhode Island Shed Co. offers a wide range of sizes for every yard—from small storage sheds to large workshop buildings. You should think about how much storage space you need. For example:
- Small Sheds (8×8 or 8×10): Ideal for those who need a space to store gardening tools, seasonal decorations, or outdoor toys.
- Medium Sheds (10×12 or 12×12): Perfect for homeowners who need more room for larger equipment like lawnmowers, bicycles, or tools, but don’t require a full workshop.
- Large Sheds (14×16 or larger): Great for those looking for a larger workspace or a storage area that can accommodate larger items like patio furniture, holiday decorations, or even a small workshop for DIY projects.
At Rhode Island Shed Co., our team will help guide you through the process to determine what size is best suited for your particular needs and property.
2. Selecting the Right Style
Once you’ve narrowed down the size, it’s time to think about the style of shed that will work best for your property. There are several styles of sheds to choose from, and the one you select will depend on your storage needs, aesthetic preferences, and functional requirements. Here are a few of the popular shed styles we offer:
- Gable Sheds: Known for their classic triangular roof-line, gable sheds offer maximum storage space and versatility. The tall center allows for better ventilation and room for shelving and overhead storage.
- Barn Sheds: If you’re looking for rustic charm with ample space, a barn-style shed may be the right choice. This design features double doors that make it easy to store larger items.
- A-Frame Sheds: Perfect for homeowners who prefer a compact but stylish structure, the A-frame offers durability and aesthetic appeal in a more minimalist design.
- Custom Designs: With Rhode Island Shed Co., you can work with our design team to create a shed that fits your style and needs perfectly. From traditional designs to more modern or contemporary looks, we can bring your vision to life.
Our team at Rhode Island Shed Co. takes the time to understand your personal preferences to ensure the shed design complements your home and landscaping.
3. Built-in Storage Options
In addition to choosing the right size and style, consider what type of storage solutions you require. One of the benefits of working with a custom shed company is the ability to customize built-in features that enhance the functionality of your shed. Some storage options to consider include:
- Shelving: Whether you need tall shelves for tools or a small area for storage bins, we can design your shed with customizable shelves to fit your needs.
- Workbenches: For those who enjoy DIY projects, we offer workbenches that can be built directly into your shed to create an efficient workspace.
- Lofts and Overhead Storage: Lofted spaces are a great way to keep your items organized without taking up valuable floor space, ideal for seasonal storage or smaller items.
Rhode Island Shed Co. can help you design the shed with integrated storage options that keep your items organized, safe, and easily accessible.
4. Durability and Weather-Resistance
A shed must withstand the elements, especially in New England, where the weather can vary drastically. At Rhode Island Shed Co., we ensure every shed is built with durable materials, high-quality roofing, and exceptional craftsmanship to stand the test of time.
Our sheds feature weather-resistant roofing to protect against snow, rain, and extreme weather. The durable construction ensures your shed will last for years, offering both form and function for any backyard. Whether it’s the heat of summer or the harsh cold of winter, you can trust that your Rhode Island Shed Co. shed will remain strong and weather-resistant.
5. Customizable Doors and Windows
Another benefit of choosing a custom shed is the ability to select customizable doors and windows for ease of access and natural light. You can opt for larger doors for bigger equipment, double doors for easier entry, or even windows to bring in natural light and ventilation.
Whether you want secure, lockable doors to keep valuable tools safe, or a simple window to brighten up the inside, our design team will ensure that every detail matches your preferences.
