Lean to Shed-serving a Multitude of Purposes

Everyone entertains big plans for their backyard, regardless of size. All of us want a backyard with a small garden, a place for us to read and relax as well as for children to have some fun playing outside with friends. In addition to all of this we also need a place where we can store all the tools and accessories that help in garden and backyard upkeep. Ensuring a place for all of this within a small backyard can be a difficult task and often the storage shed has to be done away with in order to make room for all the other more desirable activities. However outdoor equipment does need storage space and fetching them from inside the house every time you want to prune a shrub or mow the grass can prove to be a cumbersome process, aside from the fact that finding a storage space inside the house for bigger lawn equipment is in itself a difficult task.

 

A lean to shed provides the best possible space saving storage solution, especially for small backyards. As its name suggests, a lean to shed is attached to the home for support and hence takes up very little space. Wooden lean to sheds can be easily built at home as well, provided you have some amount of carpentry experience. Wood has a timeless appeal and as such wooden lean to sheds are preferred since they enhance the exterior look of a house as well, apart from providing convenient storage solutions for your needs.

 

However storage and space is not the only reason many homeowners prefer to install a lean to shed. A lean to shed can act as the perfect extension to the home providing you with the much needed space to build your home office, indulge in your hobby, or even to provide kids the space required to work on a big school project. Sometimes there is not enough space in the house to store all the paraphernalia required to create an art piece or to indulge in some wood work. Privacy can also be a big issue, especially in a house filled with children. But the most important advantage of a lean to shed is the option to draw power from the home to run many tools and equipment, making them the perfect place to carry out big projects that need space and privacy.

 

While wooden lean to sheds are the easiest to install and construct as well as the most aesthetically appealing, other options like vinyl and metal sheds are also good options. Lean to sheds can also be custom constructed to ensure the height and other dimensions adhere to the dimensions of the walls from which it draws support. If you do not have the time or the inclination to build your own lean to shed and want an easy and simple solution, prefabricated lean to sheds can be easily assembled and attached to your home with a few simple steps. You can even paint the lean to sheds to give them the same exterior look as your home.
