Garden sheds with style

摘要

In my neighborhood, the majority of houses have a storage shed tucked somewhere in the backyard. It's often placed in the most inconspicuous location on the lot with little attention given to its scale, its design, or the quality of its materials.rnHowever, by paying attention to the scale of a storage shed and by placing it sensitively in the landscape, you can transform it into a garden shed, a decorative focal element in the yard.rnPurpose and proportions dictate shed sizernThe first thing you need to determine is the size of the shed, a function of both the shed's purpose and the size of the garden. Start by considering how the shed will be used. Will it be available for an activity such as potting? Will it be a backyard destination with an adjacent sitting area or patio? What items will be stored in the shed: outdoor tools and toys or overflow items from the house? Make a list of the things you want to store to estimate the space you need.
