Outdoor Storage Shed Uses & Recommendations

An outdoor storage shed is a great solution for keeping things organized, easily accessible, safe, and out of sight. However, what type of “things” you decide to put in your shed is totally up to you! Here are a few of the ways that our customers use their outdoor storage sheds along with our professional recommendation for the type of shed that would work well for that purpose.

Garden Storage Shed

Buying a backyard shed means that you can have all of your gardening supplies on hand whenever you need them. You can easily store seeds, fertilizer, tools, pots, hoses, and anything else you may need.

Dakota Storage Recommendation: Ranch style shed with vinyl siding. This shed is always a favorite with our customers for its beautiful form and practical style.

Tool Storage Shed

Select a backyard shed that is large enough to fit all of the tools and equipment that you need to keep your home looking beautiful. You can select storage sheds that will allow you to park your lawn mower inside while still having plenty of room for all of the power tools. Out of sight but easy to access.

Dakota Storage Recommendation: Ranch style shed with vinyl siding. The high sides of this shed provide ample wall space to hang tools or mount a row of shelves.

Sports Storage Shed

If you are tired of tripping over sports gear, consider buying a backyard shed that houses all of those awkward objects — hockey and lacrosse sticks, basketballs and soccer balls, cleats and helmets. You don’t need a huge storage shed for this option just something that will keep the clutter (and smell) out of your house.

Dakota Storage Recommendation: Ranch style shed with LP SmartSide panel siding (engineered wood). Like our Ranch shed with vinyl siding, this shed offers customers the same flexibility, comfort and accommodation. 

Fishing Equipment Storage Shed

Having a storage shed at your lake house makes perfect sense—especially when you have fishing enthusiasts. They will be able to store all of the fishing equipment in the storage shed & still have enough space to store the fishing boat safely as well.

Dakota Storage Recommendation: Ranch style shed with LP SmartSide panel siding (engineered wood)This shed allows you to choose from a selection of shelving options to store outdoor recreation accessories.

ATV Storage Shed

Another option for a lake shed is to park the motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, etc. in the shed, and then you can lock them up easily and keep them secure. You can also organize it so that all of the motor vehicle gear goes in there, too—muddy boots and sweaty helmets don’t need to ever come into the house.

Dakota Storage Recommendation: Garage style shed. This style of shed will give you plenty of space to accommodate your motor vehicles.
