Mostly used as a storage space, sheds can be found in the backyards of most houses. These structures are
built by many individuals to engage in their hobbies such as gardening,
repairing, etc. apart from widely being used to store gardening supplies,
building tools, stuff from your school
days, projects made during college, etc.
Types of Sheds
Sheds are available as large or
small structures depending on the need. They may be either made of metal, fabric, wood or plastic.
1. Small sheds: These are
simple structures which can be bought in a kit form and can be easily assembled with the help of given instructions. These are used mostly for
storing gardening supplies such as seeds, soil, fertilisers,
and other tools such as lawn mower, scissors, etc. These are basically very small and take less area. A
small shed may come in two different roof designs, apex or pent.
·
Apex roof slopes to two sides that meet in the middle, and
therefore has more headroom in the center to work inside and move around. It is
the traditional design like we find in most houses and is more common as
compared to the pent roof.
·
Pent roofs have a single slope and more
headroom on one side that is mostly towards the door. It gives a little modern
touch and is used mostly as a storage rather than working inside.
2. Large Sheds: These are large structures equipped with
electricity, windows and have much more space than small sheds. This type is customised to be
used as offices, play house for kids, or a place for relaxation with
small sitting areas or even a bed. They are also
customised as:
·
Garden sheds: Most garden sheds are small and used for
keeping tools and mowers, large sheds are used
as an alternative to greenhouse
·
Bike Sheds: These are built by stores that may rent out bikes for
the people around. They make an allotted space to keep bikes locked and safe
from harsh weather.
·
Farm sheds: Farmers build sheds to keep their cattle and food
supplies. These are customised to with
racks and cages to store farm equipment
such as tractors, hay for the animals, etc.
Why do you
need sheds?
Sheds are mostly seen in the
backyard or garden of almost every house now a day. They provide extra space for keeping the extra household
items. Many also go forward and make these into beautiful outhouses with all modern
amenities where they can relax or have friends come over for a good time.
