You know you need a storage shed but you just aren't sure which to pick out of the many ones available to you.
They all have some great features but just not everything you want.
You may be feeling that you are going to have to settle for the next best thing but that's really not the case.
You can build your own custom storage shed just from some basic plans and even customize those plans to fit your exact liking.
If you only have a few items and don't anticipate having too many storable items, in the future you are probably better off just to make due with a pre fab.
Although as we discussed there are many benefits to building your own unit from the ground up.
You will be able to customize the size, which wouldn't be an option with a prefab.
Another benefit to building your own outdoor shed is you are going to be able to pick the material that best suits the customized style that you are going with.
You will have had to plan your design prior to starting so you already know exactly what materials you are going to need.
It may save you some extra money in the long run as well.
If there happens to be some materials on sale that you can fit into your overall plan then you will have some extra savings.
The same applies to windows if you are going to be installing windows in your custom shed.
If there are some on sale, why not build around the sale.
It made mean a few alterations to your plans but if it means extra savings then all the better.
Another benefit is when it comes to space.
If you had gone with a prefab then you would have to have that specific size space available.
Perhaps the space you have for your shed is an odd or irregular size.
This is not going to be a problem with your customized built one because you can make your plans according to spec.
Another option is if you have an area that is not in plain view then you don't have to worry about it being as esthetically attractive and it gives you the option of going with sidings like metal or vinyl as opposed to wood.
Most individuals prefer the wood siding if the shed is going to be in plain view.
Ideally, to initially start getting some ideas take a look around the garden and home improvement centers and pick out some things that you like about the sheds you see there.
Then you can incorporate them into your customized plans perhaps.
You can see that by being creative and innovative you can build yourself a really nice outdoor shed for much less money than you may have spent on a pre fab one.
Plus it has everything you wanted and most likely is much better quality.
In the end not only was it worth the time and effort you get to enjoy all of the other benefits of a customized shed.
