Planning for Storage Makes Sense

Garages are highly prized structures, and rental trends show that tenants are willing to pay more for properties with one included. A quick glance through real estate listings confirms that properties with ample shedding will attract greater sale prices than the properties that lack them. The recent boom of self-storage units across suburban developments is further testament to the public's desire for extra space; therefore, it makes sense to improve your property investment with the addition of a garage. What is even more ingenious is the ability to select customisable designs that provide maximum storage options. So if you are about to invest in a new garage, there are several things that you can do to get the best storage capacity out of it.

Our garages can be custom designed with additional space explicitly for storage. Some barn-style designs offer a second floor that can be fitted with shelving and cupboards to serve a whole range of storage purposes. Additional bays can be included in the planning stage, and features such as patios, verandas, or even carports can provide more room for caravans, boats, stacking firewood, etc. Design features such as mezzanine flooring enable you to fully utilise the space in your garage. With the addition of a few skylights and an extension ladder or staircase, seasonal objects can be kept safely out of the way.

Workbenches with cabinets provide secure places to store tools, fuels and chemicals. Shelving unit frames require little floor space, are great for holding plastic tubs and baskets, and provide visible, easy access to the stored items. Adding shelving to the walls, along with hooks, will also help store folding chairs and gardening tools, and other equipment in a more organised, safe manner.

Increasing the storage space in garages improves the value of properties, and having a well-organised shed just makes life easier. With all of the options that these structures provide, homeowners are sure to end up with a useful and satisfactory space for their vehicles, extra items, hobbies, and their lives.

The Top 6 Reasons that a Farm Shed is Your Best Option

Though the objectives may be different, the need for shed space is something that every business owner, farmer, or homeowner can probably relate to. Farm sheds, despite the name, have a variety of purposes that make them an attractive option for many people with a little space that they need to make the most of.

Regardless of the size of your property, here are the top six reasons why you should consider purchasing a farm shed:

1. Farm sheds are wonderful for housing vehicles. Today, people need storage for caravans and trailers and even boats, motorcycles and horse floats. Purposefully building a shed for additional vehicles allows the garage to be used solely for the family car, freeing up space for other items needed closer to the home.

2. Sheds come in many sizes that make the addition of these storage facilities a viable option. Placed behind existing garages or buildings, sheds are an unobtrusive extension for any property or business. They can be tailored to meet most height, width and breadth requirements, which allows for the creative use of the space behind or between current buildings.

3. Farm sheds can also be customised to house pets or livestock: they make a great stable for a horse and even a dairy for a cow; sheds can provide shelter for free-range pigs and make the perfect space for an indoor chicken coop; they can even be adapted to create the ideal dog run.

4. Launching a business from home can be easy with customised farm sheds. The structures can be equipped with power, skylights, windows, and glass sliding and roller doors. Entrances can be placed at both ends of the shed, allowing for vehicles to pass right through, all masterfully designed to establish a tailored work space on your property.

5. Furthermore, sheds can be insulated and turned into a studio space to foster a hobby. Mezzanine flooring and two-storey designs can allow for more storage or even an office.

6. Lastly, sheds can be simple, open bays for machinery or straightforward windbreaks for animals in the paddock. They can be made large enough to cover arenas or small enough to house the lawnmower at the bottom of the garden.

Our farm sheds provide cost-effective options for storage that are easily adapted to suit any location or purpose, and add greatly to the value of your property. Whatever your need, there is a shed that is just perfect for you.
