Everything you need to know about home and garden storage solutions: Garden Sheds, Workshops, Utility Sheds, Aviaries, Pool filter covers and more
When I was a little girl the best you could get for storage in the backyard was tin sheds or wooden sheds that people had to build themselves. Nowadays it’s great that we buy a kit that is a simple DIY or for an affordable cost is assembled for us. Garden sheds that are used for storage or all purpose weatherproof sheds which are great for studios – music, craft and art productions.
I am sitting in my lounge room with the heater on full, rugged up in a thick lined cardigan and gloves without finger tips (Michael Jackson eat your heart out). It occurred to me that there are plants which would not survive out in this freezing cold. Mind you it’s not snowing, that could be worse, in which case there are snow greenhouses just for that purpose. I’ll write about snow greenhouses another time. This time I am thinking about fresh herbs which are becoming more and more popular when cooking.
Thomas Dolby‘s most recognised hit was 1982′s “She Blinded Me with Science”. He has built his music studio in his garden shed.
Shed Life
I work and make music in a garden shed. It’s small but cosy, with windows on all sides, and a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. Didn’t Nick Drake write a song called ‘A Man And His Shed’? He must have been thinking of me. My daily commute is 15 feet. Some days I’m still in my pyjamas at 2pm…I love my shed!
Thomas has gone on to create some great music and has a new EP out 17 July 2007. Hopefully he’s got some “shed music” on it. He tells a great story about owning a “real” recording studio in West London and the headaches that went with it
Have you got kids who love to express themselves through art and craft – it’s not only a healthy past time but also allows for maintaining sanity of the family? At least that’s what I found. The only problem is that it can sure get messy and what they are working on may not be finished by bath-time and bedtime. Leaving the unfinished art as is only means that it’s hard to clean around it and the home looks untidy. The ideal solution is to have a garden shed for art and craft. A couple of windows can make it airy with enough light and when not used the doors can be locked for the ‘artists’ to return to their masterpieces at a later date.
Living in an apartment is convenient. You have enough living space, landscaped gardens with even a swimming pool and perhaps a gym which are maintained. You don’t need to cut the grass nor attend to the garden. However, what is needed is space for storage. Get a garden shed for apartments that is installed in your garage. These slim yet tall sheds save space and keep your garage neat whilst storing many things.
Have the shed assembled at a reasonable cost or DIY. Your garage accommodates the car as well as a shed for storage.

Having birds for pets is a rewarding experience for you and your family, especially for children because they can observe them and are not able to touch them. That’s why it is important to have bird accommodation that protects your pets and provides appropriate living conditions close to what they would experience in natural surroundings. With an aviary you don’t have to worry about your children and neighbours’ children hurting your birds.
Aviaries come in different colours, shapes and sizes. You can build the aviary yourself or have it assembled for you at an affordable price. Aviaries are also weatherproof to withstand rough weather.

I promised to show you the other garden shed that saves space, which is called the Skillion Roof Space Saver. A garden shed that is also attractive for your home and yard. This space Saver comes in different colours and is weatherproof just like the Lean To version. The handy thing is that you can place the doors at any side of the shed. There are various shelving types to fit in these sheds too.
As mentioned before, this shed is ideal for storing things like your garden tools and equipment such as the wheelbarrow, lawnmower and bags of wood chips or whatever. Also a good storage place for bikes, surfing boards, and other hobby equipment and supplies.

There are so many accessories you can use for your garden shed which makes it absolutely the best addition to your home. One such accessory is a skylight which will improve the distribution of light. You can also install a window too if that means creating the type of space you need. Another important accessory is shelving and you can have that standing free or fitted to the wall.
Whatever you use your garden shed for, the accessories you choose will make it so much more workable.
The colours fit in with the landscaping in your garden and everything is so practical and affordable. Plus garden sheds are weatherproof.
A garden shed that can be used as an all purpose shed is great value. Such a shed is weatherproof and waterproof. It is also easy to assemble yourself or by the dealer.
