Backyard Storage Sheds


Backyard sheds are a common sight in rural areas where farming was once dominant. Made out of necessity and rough cut wood, they’re rotting and falling down now, but they once housed everything from horses to chickens, a granary or a dairy, and the inevitable but necessary privy which became a shed for garden tools once indoor plumbing arrived. From these beginnings backyard storage sheds have become more common place.

The shed is still a necessary structure in our lives today, but it’s design and use has taken on new size and meaning. Urban and suburban dwellers alike find use for a backyard storage sheds to hide away the lawn mower and swimming pool gear, while the rural homeowner finds them useful to house a garden tractor, a snowmobile or even a boat; and since the Ice Storm, a generator.
