Usually, wooden sheds are categorized by the type of roof they are made with. There’s salt box, gambrel, lean-to, etc. But you can also categorized them a different way – by how they are used. Each one of these uses can have any of the types of roofs mentioned as the style doesn’t really matter. Here are the five most common uses for wooden sheds:

1. Sheds for Storage

Storage sheds are the most basic type of shed. To keep out potential thieves, they usually don’t have any windows – just four walls, floor, roof and door. These sheds can have either a floor made from wood that is built on a frame or a floor made from poured concrete. Its really important to have a well organized shed since there isn’t much space in a small shed to begin with.

2. Sheds for Gardening

The most convenient item for your garden may be a garden shed (certainly if your garden is a fair distance from your house or garage). If you’ve ever needed to get to your tools right away and couldn’t find the one you were looking for, then you should know how handy a garden shed can be since that is its main purpose. They are also a convenient place to store all your gardening supplies and even a potting bench.
