When it comes to adding a shed to your property, the options can feel overwhelming. From styles and materials to sizes and features, there are plenty of factors to consider. At Superior Sheds, we believe in building handcrafted sheds that not only meet your needs but exceed your expectations. Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect shed for your property—and why investing in a quality, custom-built shed is the best choice.
1. Determine the Purpose of Your Shed
The first step in choosing the perfect shed is to define its primary purpose. Are you looking for:
Storage Space: Keep tools, equipment, and seasonal items organized and protected.
A Workshop: Create a dedicated space for hobbies like woodworking, crafting, or gardening.
A Backyard Office or Studio: Transform your shed into a comfortable and functional workspace.
Multi-Use: Combine storage with a functional workspace or relaxation area.
Understanding your goals will help you determine the size, layout, and features you need.
2. Choose the Right Size
When selecting a shed size, consider your current and future needs. A too-small shed can lead to clutter, while an oversized shed might take up unnecessary yard space. Here are some tips:
Assess Your Storage Needs: Make a list of the items you plan to store or use in the shed.
Measure Your Yard Space: Ensure the shed fits comfortably in your yard without crowding.
Plan for Growth: If you expect to add more tools or equipment, opt for a slightly larger shed.
At Superior Sheds, we offer custom sizing options to ensure your shed fits your space and requirements perfectly.
3. Select the Right Materials
Not all sheds are created equal. Many big-box store sheds are made from thin, low-quality materials that may only last a few years. At Superior Sheds, we use high-quality materials like architectural shingles, treated lumber, and durable siding to ensure your shed stands the test of time.
Longevity: Our sheds are built to last decades, far surpassing the 5-10 years you might get from a kit shed.
Durability: Handcrafted sheds are sturdier and better able to withstand Texas weather, from blazing sun to heavy storms.
Custom Options: Choose materials and finishes that complement your home and landscape.
4. Consider the Build Quality
When comparing sheds, the difference in build quality between handcrafted and kit sheds is night and day. Here’s why:
Handcrafted Sheds: Every shed is built with precision and care. At Superior Sheds, we ensure every joint, nail, and board is placed for maximum strength and durability.
Kit Sheds: Prefabricated kits often use inferior materials and leave you with a structure that’s less sturdy and harder to customize.
Better Value: While a handcrafted shed may have a higher upfront cost, it pays off in longevity and quality, saving you money in the long run.
5. Select a Style That Fits Your Aesthetic
Your shed should enhance your property’s appearance, not detract from it. Choose a design that complements your home and landscaping. Superior Sheds offers:
Custom Roof Styles: Gable, barn, or lean-to styles to suit your preferences.
Paint and Trim Options: Match your shed’s color scheme to your home or create a standout feature.
Extra Features: Add windows, doors, shelving, and other customizations to make your shed truly unique.
6. Trust a Local, Family-Owned Business
Choosing a local shed builder like Superior Sheds means you’re supporting a small business that takes pride in its work. We’re not a faceless corporation—we’re your neighbors, committed to providing personalized service and exceptional craftsmanship.
