Why You Need a 10×14 Shed in Your World
Business
You live in a busy world. One of these times you’re afraid you’ll meet yourself coming when you’re going. Being busy is fine (I guess) as long as you don’t forget the important things in life. An integral part of all this is your backyard. What better place to leave the busyness of the world behind? Have a sanctuary right on your home turf.
A nicely landscaped 10×14 shed like the one above adds to the “at home” feel. Dare I say it can even express your character, or at least your preferences? We’ll look at specific styles that may help that expression later in this blog.
Stuff is Crowding Your Space
Stuff; The bane of modern living. Gadgets. “Must have” tools. There’s yard upkeep, gardening, house repair, and other maintenance needs, not to mention the all-important recreational “tools.” One of the main ideas behind a 10×14 shed is to provide a place for some of this stuff.
Now if you have a Rolls Royce you want to store, or something with more size and substance than your zero-turn mower, you might want to look into a bigger storage shed or even a prefab one car garage. Or, maybe you’re looking to have a sports shed where you can exercise regularly. But just stuff? A 10×14 storage shed rocks.

Everyone is super helpful and pleasant. We customized a potting shed to make it our backyard oasis in the city. The process was painless. When we had a problem they worked very hard to make it right. Our shed is just perfect and we practically live in it all summer.
Smooth operation. Really liked the design software on the website so I could see what my shed would look like before ordering. Had helpful salesman and delivery was smooth. Good job!

From ordering the shed to delivery, the experience was great! Nate delivered the shed within the delivery timeframe. He placed the shed exactly where we wanted it and took the time to walk us around the shed, show us a few things and ask if we had any questions. Would definitely order from Sheds Unlimited again!
Excellent quality and excellent service. Better than any major lumber supply company.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with ShedsUnlimited. Everyone from our salesman, Andrew, to the construction manager, Gideon, down to the three carpenters who constructed our shed on site, Leroy, Chris and Junior Blake, did an excellent job of creating the shed just the way we wanted it. I am appreciative of their patience while I was making choices, and their respect for my time and property. My shed was scheduled to be built in the time frame that was promised. The crew arrived from out of state on time and worked efficiently in a synchronized manner to build the shed on our pad. The men were very respectful for the surrounding property as well. What a pleasure to receive what was promised without any glitches.
