Choosing the right shed can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re looking for simple storage or something more creative, this guide walks you through the key decisions to make sure your shed is the perfect fit.
1. Define the Purpose of Your Shed
Are you storing tools, building a workshop, creating a backyard office — or something else entirely?
Start by asking:
– What will you use the shed for?
– Will this change over time?
– Do you need electricity or insulation?
Your answers will help determine the right layout, features, and size.
2. Choose the Right Size
Think about your current needs and future plans. Here’s a basic breakdown:
Shed Size | Best For |
Small (6×8) | Lawn & garden tools, bikes |
Medium (8×12, 10×12) | Tools, workspace, general storage |
Large (12×16 and up) | Office, studio, workshop, guest use |
3. Understand Materials & Construction
At Rondavel Sheds, we don’t cut corners. Every shed is built to last with high-quality materials, including:
– ✅ 16″ On-Center Framing with Double Top Plate
– ✅ ¾” Advantech Subflooring for a sturdy base
– ✅ 7′ Wall height for added vertical space
– ✅ PVC Trim for clean, low-maintenance edges
– ✅ Architectural Shingles with Ridge Vent for better airflow
– ✅ Pressure-Treated Joists for long-term durability
4. Customize It to Fit Your Style
Want your shed to match your house or stand out as a feature? We offer:
– 🎨 Color Matching: Choose from Benjamin Moore paints or upgrade to vinyl siding.
– 🚪 Custom Features: Add pre-hung doors, extra windows, ramps, flower boxes, or shelving.
– 🧱 Built On-Site: No need to tear down fences or prep for large deliveries — we build directly on your property.
