WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN PURCHASING A SHED

Selecting the right storage shed is an important decision that depends on the amount of space you have, your storage requirements, and your long-term needs. At Easy Backyard Storage, we’re here to help you find the perfect shed to fit your needs – whatever they may be.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Storage Shed 

Size and Storage Capacity
Think about what you plan to store in your shed. Will it be used for lawn equipment, seasonal decorations, tools, or a workshop? Our sheds are 8’ wide and available in 9’, 12’ and 15’ lengths. If you plan to store large items such as lawn equipment, opt for our commercial-grade steel roll-up door and consider adding an additional door for easy end-to-end access. If you’re planning to use your shed as a man-cave or workshop, our steel swing door option may be best for you.

Material: Steel vs. Wood Sheds
When it comes to choosing the right material for your shed, your main options are metal, wood, and plastic. Choosing a shed made of the right materials is the most important part of your decision-making process. This will save you time, hassle, and money in the long run. Here’s why all-steel sheds are superior to the rest:

Durability – Steel is highly resistant to weather, pests, and decay. At Easy Backyard Storage, we use high quality 26-ga metal and an all-steel building construction from top to bottom, ensuring your building will last a lifetime. The only wood you’ll find on our buildings is in the ¾” treated plywood flooring, and even that sits above a 4” all steel foundation for added protection against pests and water damage.

When looking at other metal sheds, pay attention to the thickness and quality of the metal. Is it thin? Is it lined with wood and particle board on the inside, or is it truly made of all steel? Is the floor high quality, or does it feel like it sits on a hollow base? These features will be the difference between your shed lasting 5 years or 50 years.

Low Maintenance – With metal sheds, there’s no need for repainting or repairs due to rotting or warping. No sealing, staining, or shingle repairs like you’ll need to do with wooden sheds. No worries about your plastic color fading, or paint chipping.
