If you are shopping for a shed, you already know there are so many choices, and it can feel overwhelming. However, you've decided a wooden shed is your best option, and now you're wondering what you should look for in your wooden shed before you settle on one to purchase.

When you work with Sun Rise Sheds, you have the experience and knowledge to get a high-quality wooden shed right at your fingertips. Here are some things our customers like to consider when buying a wooden shed.
 

What Are You Using Your Wooden Shed For?


Wood storage sheds are highly popular because they are versatile structures that can be used for storage, gardening, as a workspace, a playhouse, or to house animals. They are perfect for storing seasonal decorations or keeping your lawn tools tucked away and tidy when not in use. Ultimately, how you use your wooden shed depends on your interests and needs. But whatever you are using your shed for will influence other factors of the shed, like what kind of accessories you want or the size of the shed.
 

How Big is the Wooden Shed You Are Considering?


After you've determined what you will use your shed for, selecting the right size is essential to use it as you'd like. Remember that a wooden shed can serve multiple purposes depending on its size and design. So, if you want to use it for storing your seasonal things and a home for your arts and crafts, you can easily incorporate both into your new shed.

You might opt for something smaller with shelving for a shed that will exclusively be used for gardening tools or as a firewood storage shed. If you hope to store larger things like ATVs or your artificial Christmas tree box, you want to give yourself enough room to store those things and navigate walking around the shed comfortably. So, it is essential to determine what you are using the shed for before you decide on the size.
 

Does the Shed Have Any Built-In Features?


Built-in features can transform a wood storage shed into a multi-functional space for several purposes. Some people install lighting, insulation, and heating in their shed to create a comfortable space to work on DIY projects, while others transform the structure into a cozy guest house. One common feature people opt for is shelving, which provides ample storage space for gardening supplies, tools, or other equipment.

If you plan on using your wooden shed as a workspace, you can include electrical outlets that provide power for lighting fixtures, tools, and electronics. For those keeping animals in their new shed, adding insulation or heating can provide warmth and comfort for the animals during the colder months.

Other popular features you might opt for in your wooden shed include ramps, skylights, lofts, potting benches or workbenches, security systems, and even air conditioning units. When selecting a wooden shed, consider the built-in features that can best suit your individual needs and make the most of the space.
