What Type Of Home Shed Is Best For You?

Looking for a heavy-duty storage building, a garden shed or workshop, or even a guest home or cabin? If you customize your shed, you can pretty much transform any shed into anything you want! However, some sheds are already built and structured to make certain uses easier. In this section, we’ll take a look at what sheds are best for you and your needs!

If You Need A Cabin, Cottage, Or Guest House…

…Then either the Cabin or Lofted Cabin may be the perfect shed for you! Cabins are a great way to add additional living space to your home or to complete a second property. The porch provides a great outdoor space to relax, while the interior can be decorated in any way to suit you and your preferences. The Lofted Cabin’s loft is an ideal place to store items long-term or temporarily. Cabins can be used exclusively as a second home or for storage as well. See below to learn a bit more about our cabins!

How To Choose The Right Shed For You

Check out the video below by English shed company Titan Garden Buildings to see some great tips for choosing the right shed!

• What will you store in your shed now? – Knowing the items you plan to store in your shed, whether it is tools or furniture in your cabin, will help you decide what style and size of shed you need.
• What will you store in your shed in the future? – You may not need extra storage now, but if you plan on expanding your family or using your shed for long-term storage, it’s important to think about what you need in your shed both now and in the next 5+ years.
• Do you want a multi-purpose building? – All sheds can be used as multi-purpose buildings, but some are more suited for multi-purpose use than others. For example, if you want significant storage and a home office, you may choose a Cabin or Lofted Garden Barn instead of a Utility Shed or Mini Barn.
• Do you want to customize your shed? – Do you love DIY projects and want to fully customize your shed? Or would you rather begin using it the moment it enters your property? The amount of work you want to put into your new shed can help determine which shed is best for you.
