A common realization among homeowners is a need for more storage space—whether it’s inside or outside the house. As you gather lawn care items and garden tools, you may find that outdoor storage boxes aren’t enough. You might need to upgrade to a garden shed. This way, you can keep everything in one spot and maintain a tidy backyard.
Garden sheds aren’t one-size-fits-all, however. If you’ve started doing research, you might find that you have more questions than answers. We at NuHaus Outdoors are here to help by providing answers to seven popular questions about garden sheds.
There are two things you need to build a shed: time and know-how. Most people are lacking in at least one of those qualities. It may look simple, but some knowledge of building is required to build a solid shed.
Pick a shed from NuHaus Outdoors. You can customize it with our expert staff. With our help, you won’t need to worry about anything else. We will bring the finished shed directly to you!
This is a question that you need to answer based on the size of your yard and what you are looking to store in the shed. If you want to store lawn mowers or snowblower, try our large sheds. Small outdoor sheds work well for tools and equipment like saws or a weed eater. You have endless options for styles and colors. It’s all up to you! You can even choose overhead doors for easy storage of your riding mower.
The size of garden sheds is the main factor when it comes to price, followed by the style of the shed. You can get a shed that can meet your needs and add both beauty and convenience to your lawn for as little as $3,500. There are many add-on options available for our sheds. All said and done, you can spend upwards of $20,000.
You can buy garden sheds from big-box stores or manufacturers. Or get them from specialty businesses like ours! Big-box stores might look cheaper and easier at first. But if you want top-quality materials and the best value, consider buying directly from NuHaus Outdoors. This way, you’ll be sure the shed meets your needs.
Absolutely! You can run power underground from the house to the shed. Alternatively, you can install solar panels on the roof or next to the shed. This keeps you “off the grid” and provides the power you need.
You might need a building permit, depending on where you live. Even if you don’t need one, there are still rules about electricity and plumbing to follow. Also, you can't build too close to your property line. Your NuHaus Outdoors sales advisor can help walk you through this process. We are very familiar with the laws and regulations in the area.
You can have one, but it’s not required. You will, however, be strongly encouraged to have at least a stone pad made of gravel for the garden shed to sit on.
