The Science of Shed Placement: Finding the Perfect Spot

Welcome, shed enthusiasts! If you’re on the hunt for the ultimate location to set up your new shed, then you’ve come to the right place. No matter what type of shed you’ve got, there’s an art and science to finding the ideal spot. Let’s get cracking!

HOW ARE YOU PLANNING TO USE YOUR SHED?

Picture this: you’ve just bought a shiny new ride-on mower and now you need a place to store it. Or maybe you’re an artist seeking a peaceful retreat for inspiration. No matter the purpose, the intended use of your shed will influence its location. Keep in mind factors like accessibility, natural light and proximity to other structures as you plan your shed placement.

LAWS AND CONVENTIONS

Nobody wants to be the neighbourhood rebel—before you get started, be sure you’re across any building regulations, zoning laws, or local council requirements. A quick phone call or visit to your council’s website will help you avoid any unwanted surprises down the track.

ACKNOWLEDGE LIMITATIONS

Alright, let’s be honest—not every backyard is the size of a sports field. Consider your property’s limitations such as narrow access points, easements or sloping terrain. Work with them to find the best possible location for your shed.

ASSESS YOUR TERRAIN

Imagine stepping into your shed only to find your tools floating away! To avoid a soggy disaster, take a good look at the lay of the land. Choose a level, well-drained and stable area for your shed and steer clear of low-lying spots that collect water.

CASE STUDY: THE PERFECT SPOT

Steve, a local farmer, purchased a farm shed kit to store his prized tractors in. After considering the purpose of his shed, he picked a spot near the driveway for easy access. He checked with his local council to ensure he was adhering to building regulations and then evaluated his property’s limitations. With a large gum tree in the middle of his backyard, Steve chose a spot that provided enough clearance for the tree’s roots. Finally, he assessed the terrain, avoiding a swampy patch on his property and opted for a level, well-drained area. And just like that, Steve found the perfect spot for his farm shed!
