There are plenty of advantages to owning a wooden shed over a metal or plastic shed. For starters, wooden sheds have a nice aesthetic to them, with wooden sheds you get that natural and “classic” shed look. Also, wooden sheds are very versatile as they can hold paint well, unlike metal sheds, and you can install shelves securely, unlike plastic sheds.
Another good point is that wooden sheds can last a long time, up to 25 years! Wood is also a great insulator, not to mention the fact that it is also easy to repair, unlike plastic and metal sheds. These are just a few of the many benefits that come with owning a wooden shed!

There are many things to consider before purchasing a wooden shed to make sure you get the best one for you, these include:
Before even considering buying a wooden shed, make sure that you can lawfully have one. Some places don’t allow you to have a shed depending on its size and/or placement. So be sure to check your local building codes and regulations. Also, if you are part of a homeowner’s association, check their regulations as well.
The appearance of your wooden shed can affect the appearance of your entire property. So, you want to make sure your wooden shed can complement your property, as well as look appealing on its own. A good way to do this is to go with the theme of your home, carrying over features like window and door design.
If you’re buying a wooden shed, make sure it fits the purpose you’d like to buy it for. For instance, if you’re planning on storing large equipment or vehicles, then a small shed is not a good choice. Or if you just plan on storing gardening equipment, do you really need a two-story shed? Make sure you get what best suits your needs.
Like when making any other purchase, when purchasing a wooden shed, you want to check the price and make sure you can afford it. Don’t find the shed of your dreams just to find out you can’t afford it.
Another thing to look at when buying a wooden shed is to make sure the shed is well-built and comes from a reputable vendor. Spending thousands of dollars on a shed just for it to break down and fall apart would be a terrible experience and a waste of money. Lucky for you, you won’t have to worry about that here at Sheds Unlimited, all our sheds are built to last with quality materials and craftsmanship!
Yes, so long as you have the proper tools to build a shed, building a shed will be less expensive than buying one pre-built, as you won’t have to worry about labor costs and only pay for the materials.
The average lifespan of a wooden shed is between 20 and 25 years, but with proper maintenance, your shed may last even longer.
To damp proof a wooden shed floor, you can do things like open doors, and windows, or install shed vents. Basically, do anything to keep the air circulating to prevent moisture from building up. Another option is to use a dehumidifier.
Since they are made of wood, yes, wooden sheds are susceptible to rot and mold. However, with quality materials and maintenance, you can prevent both. Just try to keep your shed moisture-free and inspect your shed every now and then.
