Storage Shed

• A basic storage shed is one of the simplest styles of yard sheds. It is usually not very large since it is not meant to be a workspace and serves merely as place to keep lawn and garden equipment, tools, hoses, backyard toys, sports equipment and furniture. A storage shed usually has a basic structure, consisting of a gable roof and a single door. It may also have a small window to provide natural light that allows you to see what you are looking at in the shed.
  
  

Gardening Shed

• A gardening shed is usually the largest style of shed. It is designed to provide space for garden work and storage for gardening and lawn tools and supplies, which can include large items like a riding mower. To make moving equipment in and out easier, a gardening shed may feature double doors. It usually features a simple gable roof and may contain several fixed windows that allow natural light and air to enter when you are working in the space. A gardening shed may also feature plumbing, so you can add a utility sink for washing pots and containers. When considering where to position your gardening shed, it should be as close to your garden as possible to provide convenient access to tools and supplies when necessary.
  
  

Corner Shed

• A corner shed is essentially a smaller version of a storage shed. It is an ideal option if you do not have much available space in your yard but still need a space to keep your tools and lawn equipment. In most cases, the structure is no larger than 6 x 6 feet or 8 x 8 feet. It usually has a single door and lacks windows. While there is not much room inside, you can maximize the space by installing pegboard on the walls for hanging tools and other equipment.
  
  

Firewood Shed

• One of the simplest styles of yard shed is the firewood shed. As the name implies, it is intended for storing firewood. You can build it as a freestanding structure or as a lean-to against your garage or a garden wall. Unlike other styles of shed, a firewood shed does not contain four walls. It is usually just two walls and a flat roof to keep your wood dry. Because it can be built as a lean-to against an existing structure, you can also add a firewood shed to a storage or gardening shed. If you don't have a fireplace, you can also use the structure to keep bikes, sports equipment, patio furniture and other items dry.
