Written by QSB | July 17, 2023 at 1:00 PM

Are you looking to take advantage of extra space in your yard for a workshop, storage space, or retreat? A well-designed shed may be just the thing to make the most of your available space! There are many options and features, from compact storage spaces to fully-functional additional living areas. 

While there are different options for varying price points, it’s important to consider that your shed must be built to last, no matter which option you choose. If you spend your hard-earned money on a shed, you’ll want to select one that prioritizes build quality and will last for years. Even for the smallest sheds, their ability to withstand the harsh Texas weather and function well for a long time should be your top priority. This blog will explore how to find the best shed in your budget and the sizes, styles, and features available.

Flooring and Foundation: The Importance of a Solid Base

Before we delve into the different shed styles and sizes, we want to emphasize the importance of a high-quality choice of flooring and foundation. A solid base ensures the stability and longevity of your shed, protecting it from ground moisture and potential damage. We recommend seriously looking at the foundations and flooring of the sheds you’re considering. Quality begins from the ground up, and a company that takes the time to invest in the materials and craftsmanship of the foundation is likely going to be just as considerate of the entire build process.

How to Choose Your Ideal Shed Style

Selecting one that aligns with your specific needs is crucial when it comes to shed styles. This includes physical structure, potential uses, and visual appeal. The physical structure may be like a storage shed or an animal enclosure. The actual layout of the interior and exterior will likely be the first thing you’ll choose, dependent on what you’re looking for. From there, you’ll want to consider your intended use and the functionality of that structure.

These first two don’t necessarily have to be the same — for example, a utility shed shell might fit your personal needs for a studio shed better than a cabin-type model. Make sure your choice is the best fit for what you need! Lastly, you’ll want to think about your desired visual appeal. Do you have a color scheme in mind? Do you prefer a certain number of windows or a certain type of trim work? The answers to these questions will help narrow your choices even further. 

Most Popular Shed Styles

Everyone has a unique set of needs regarding the shed they choose. However, our most popular shed styles may help to guide your decision-making process: 

Lofted Barn

These quality sheds feature a raised loft area for additional storage or a cozy hideaway. With their classic barn-style appearance, they blend seamlessly with any outdoor setting. From the more basic loften barn to the leveled-up elite lofted barn, these sheds offer lots of potential in a flexible space to fit various needs. 

Utility Shed

As the name suggests, utility sheds are incredibly versatile, offering ample storage space for tools, gardening equipment, and much more. Their simple yet functional design makes them an excellent choice for various purposes. Think of a utility shed as a “universal building.” This blank slate shed is a great foundation for any build-out or high-quality, simple storage space. 

Cabin Style

The cabin-style option is perfect if you're looking for a shed that exudes rustic charm. These sheds combine the convenience of extra living space with the cozy aesthetics of a cabin, providing a delightful retreat in your backyard. Whether you’re looking for an office space, a mother-in-law suite, or a small home setup, a cabin-style shed might be your perfect fit. 

Finding the Right Size for Your Shed

Figuring out the appropriate size for your shed is essential to be sure it meets your storage requirements without feeling too cramped. Ask yourself the following questions to guide your decision-making process:

  • How will you use the shed? Are you primarily storing items, or do you plan to use it as a workshop or hobby space?

  • Consider all shed dimensions: length, width, and height. Will it accommodate your largest items while leaving enough room for you to move comfortably? As you’re looking at standard dimensions, remember that we offer custom shed building if you don’t see a stock shelf that fits your needs! 

  • What will your storage unit hold? Make a list of the items you plan to store to estimate the space needed. Remember to account for future storage needs as well.

  • Are there any community regulations? Depending on the size, some areas may require a building permit. Ensure you comply with local regulations to avoid any legal issues or fines. 

Features: Tailoring Your Shed to Your Needs

Depending on the company you choose to work with for your shed, you’ll find various customization options available. At Quality Storage Buildings, we offer unique features to customize your shed according to your preferences. Here are some of the main options to consider:

  • Window Options: Choose the number and placement of windows to allow natural light into your shed.

  • Color of Your Building: Compare our color palette selection to find the perfect shade that complements your outdoor aesthetics.
