let's see your sheds

[chadman]

I'm thinking of building a shed to get the shovels, lawnmowers, misc. and a New Holland compact utility tractor out of the garage. I'm thinking 14x20 would be good. Looking for ideas so let's see 'em. Please also post dimensions.

I don't have pics but I really like the gambrel roofed sheds. Overhead storage in these helps a ton. I shopped around at Lowe's and Home Depot. One of them carries Tuff Shed and they look well built. Good luck with the build.

I store the mower, bikes and toys in a four foot tall 1st floor that includes a dog house. Second floor is 6 ft tall and was the kids play house when they were growing up. The outside stairs are made with short risers for 4 year olds. The third floor look out space was added after the neighbor built his fort 2 ft taller than mine. Has a spiral staircase and ladder and makes the perfect nerf ball sniper location. Also know as the make out spot as the boys got older.

This is all I had room for. It comes in handy, though.

Normally, there's a bicycle under the overhang. But the lawn debris container was there for the picture.

I am in the process of cleaing out and organizing a 2 car garage. After that is complete I will add a shed. So mine is not built but I have started thinking of what to do outside and here are a few that I lifted of the internet and/or GJ as possibilities.
I am thinking of builinding a shed in the 3x6 to 4x8 just for mower, garden tools, wheel barrow, weedeater and so these mostly have a smaller footprint.

I told my son he'd better start using this or it will become my shed:

12ft. X 16 ft., LP Smartside, SIPs Construction, insulated windows. $6,000.00 USD! 100 man hours to build from the ground up. Painting took another 48 hours for all the trim and drying time.

Thanks. But mine were pretty simple -- there are some much nicer sheds on this board, like the one above.

But Lupinsea wins the shed award, in my opinion.

Here is my 12x20 down by the lake. It was the first building we put on the vacant lot and boy did it come in handy. I added an 8 foot roof extension later on so I could have the doors open during our common FL showers. Liked it so much, the Asylum got a roof overhang too.

I also fixed up the old pump house to match.

You are one clever and imaginative *******. That looks great.

 

[Jack Olsen]

Thanks.

Whenever I see those two rooflines, I can't help but remember how I came up with them. The one on the left is a dessert plate and the one on the right is a dinner plate, each traced onto graph paper the morning I decided to build the sheds.

I don't have a very good picture of the shed before I started adding a garage, but here is one of the front.

It is 14x32, with a split sliding 16' door in the center. I made it 14' so that I could use a 16' rafter. It really worked out great, with the big door it was very useful. I'm adding a 30x32 two bay garage now, I'm leaving the sliding doors on the original shed so I can close it off from the garage. I'm hoping to turn the original shed into a woodworking shop, and the doors will keep most of the dust out of the rest of the garage.

Heres the shed I built to store my firewood over at my place in France, its a mini pole barn with a partly open front, the window is an old one salvaged from the hosue when we put new ones in and the roof is corrugated cement sheet with roman tiles on top. Its about 5' x 9'. Floor is weed fabric with gravel over. It now has zinc guttering on the back and a climbing rose growing over it plus some shelving inside, a solar panel to trickle charge my mower battery and a solar powered LED light.

Here's mine - it's simple and small (9' x 5' footprint) Would have loved to make it larger but space (So Cal lot size) and windows located on either side forced limitations . It houses all my gas fired yard equipment, saw horses, wheelbarrow, ladders, pool chemicals, and the like so it does what I wanted it to. I also have an under eave smaller shed (shown behind in first photo) that contains yard hand tools (shovels, rakes, etc) and garden chemicals.

Jack Olsen (and others here) inspired me to get that stuff out of my garage
mission accomplished
