NZ Shed Reviews

When you run out of storage, the first instinct is to start selling or giving away excess items. Sometimes the item can be too valuable to give away.

Here are 8 key things to consider before buying a shed for garden storage.

1. Things to check out: Does your town or council have any zoning rules about sheds? what about your home owner’s association? if you rent, you will have to check with your landlord.

2. Avoid the shabby: the distinction between attractive and down right ugly is marked by just a few hundred dollars. The most costly sheds are manufactured using cedar siding. In the middle is a shed made of vinyl. If the decor of the area you live in is contemporary, clashing with that style is a big no-no.

3. Forget cute: a shed is a utility build structure, not a ginger bread house. Don’t even think about getting one with a porch, what for? You need a place for storage.

4. Research the cost: Before placing an order, get an idea of local prices. Be prepared to part with at least $350-$2000, depending on what you like and your budget. **the best place i recommend is

5. Know your materials. Although not the prettiest structure ever build, an aluminum shed will last a long time. A steel unit may look more heavy duty it can be prone to rust unless you coat it, but even that wont completely avoid corrosion. Wood sheds can be more attractive. However they are not the best in a fire and need maintenance to avoid mould and rot. Cedar will need to e re-coated with a special sealant to preserve the material and protect it from sun damage. Vinyl can be a good bet for most because it tends to last a long time and needs little extra care except a wash every so often to remove mildew from shaded areas.

6. Define your size. You need to know how much room you have in the yard for your shed, remembering any rules about areas where you can not place it. And you need to make sure you can fit all your stuff in it. Take into account large bulky items.

7. Consider the foundations. Most storage sheds rest on cinder blocks, beds of crushed stone or concrete slabs. Normally supports are pressure treated wood. Check with the manufacturer for recommendations before whipping out your credit card.

8. Contemplate add ons. Almost everybody is short of space. As you gather more things, you might buy an additional plastic add-on for a few hundred dollars.

Bonus – an attractive garden storage shed in good condition is always a plus when you list your home for sale.
