Have A Shed, Or A Place To Keep Tools

You will want an area for junk and if you don’t have a garage you need to keep tools somewhere. A shed can be multipurpose and doesn’t have to look grim. It can be a nice bright colour or tucked away so it can’t be seen well. They store a lot and they will make life easier in the long run if you have outdoor games and gardening tools. You could build your own if you wanted to but be sure to look at some information first:

1. Have a solid foundation to build on.
2. Ensure good air circulation to keep dry and not musty.
3. Make your floor frame sturdy and weather-resistant. 
4. Get a property inspection just in case it isn’t built correctly, as safety comes first!
