Keystone Shed Works : Ideas & Tips

Storage and organization is more important than ever to homeowners. Below are some great examples of how you can utilize your Keystone Shed Works space most effectively.

Add shelving and hooks to store all of your planting and gardening tools.	Using tool hooks maximizes wall space and saves floor space.	Our sheds have space enough to store your tractor, motorcycle, snowmobile or ATV.
You’ll have plenty of room for woodworking in a Keystone Shed Works shed.	Make more room in your garage by storing bikes, scooters or skateboards in your shed.	Use the overhead space for storage of ladders or other hard to maneuver items.

When preparing to purchase one of our sheds, make a list of all of the items and pieces that you want to store in your shed. Then measure the largest items, this information will be helpful to your Keystone Shed Works sales representative, so that he/she can make sure you have the right shed for your needs.

As you are working through the planning stage for your Keystone Shed Works shed, think about customizing the interior of the shed so that it works for you long after construction is completed.
Interior options you may want to consider:

A Ramp – particularly if you will be storing a riding lawn mower, wheelbarrow, or bicycle.
Extra Wide Doorways (double doors or sliding doors) – these are extremely useful when driving in riding lawn mowers, garden tillers, and snow blowers.
Adjustable, Wall Mounted Shelves – for organizing your tools and supplies.
Built-In Work Benches or Planting Benches – are great for potting plants and woodworking.
Pegboard for hanging tools on the walls neatly.
A cupola or weathervane – is perfect on our larger sheds, when you want to add some country style and elegance to your Keystone Shed Works Shed.

You can customize your shed’s design…take a look at our portfolio or getting started page for some of the creative ideas that our customers have come up with to make their shed unique. Or simply ask your Keystone Shed Works sales representative about options you’d like to add to your shed and he or she will be happy to see if we can make it happen for you. We are always looking for new ways to service our customers better and your suggestions are appreciated!
Leave at least 3 feet of open space around all sides of the shed. So that fresh air can circulate freely and so that you’ll have enough room to paint and make repairs.
If you happen to be positioning your shed on a slightly sloping plot of land, place the front of the shed (the side with the primary door) on the high side of the slope. That way, the land will slope down toward the rear of the shed and the slanting grade won’t appear so obvious.
It is never a good idea to position your shed at the bottom of a hill or in a low-lying area where water collects.
