Are you running out of space in your home? While adding an extension to your home may be expensive and take a long time, there’s another option you can take: getting a shed. However, people sometimes have common misconceptions about backyard sheds that might make them seem unattractive. You can turn your backyard shed into an extension of your home or a space to grow plants. Keep reading as we debunk common myths about sheds.
All Sheds Are the Same
There’s a common misconception that sheds all generally look the same and are equal in quality—this is false. In reality, you can find different characteristics and materials in backyard sheds. You can have sheds built with living amenities like electrical systems or get basic ones with no insulation or ventilation. Based on your needs, you can choose to get a shed as big as a house or as small as a shack.
Sheds Are Only for Storage
More recently, a creative revolution has occurred, and people have found ways to maximize their shed’s usage. Today, sheds can be man caves, she sheds, kid’s playrooms, dog houses, offices, and much more. You can use your shed as an indoor garden or a place to cool down during hot days. The possibilities are endless with these versatile spaces.
Sheds Are Pest Magnets
If you leave your shed unattended, dark, and humid, you’ll invite pests to stay as long as they like. However, with a little cleaning and organization, you can keep critters away from your shed. When you own a shed, you have the responsibility to keep your backyard shed clean and insect-proof.
Pre-Built Sheds Have Limited Designs
A common misconception about backyard sheds is that pre-built sheds have limited designs and customization options. However, with a little work, you can add your personal flair to your outdoor shed. You can look into common shed roofing styles to match your house. Moreover, you can integrate your landscape by adding plants and bushes to spruce up your shed’s exterior.
