Sheds have an important place in modern suburban and rural life, but, you ask:
Do I need a storage shed?
Let me start off by saying yes, you need a storage shed! At least you need one if you have any of these issues:
You are renting storage space from a public storage facility.
This is about the best reason I can imagine for buying a storage shed. If you are paying monthly fees to someone else to keep your stuff, there is a pretty good chance that those monthly fees would pay for a shed with the same amount of space for a years worth of fees.
Your garage is so full that you can’t get your car inside.
Most people use their garages to store the things they don’t need immediately, but can’t part with. If you have trouble parking in your garage, you need a storage building.
Your home business home office has become to large for your home.
Moving your home office, or at least some of those boxes of files stacked in your bedroom into a utility building is a great option.
You have children.
Your teens are taking control of almost every screen in the home for wii. Your preteens are immersed in Hannah Montana. Creating a family game room or television room a few steps from your home could be a wonderful way of maintaining your sanity.
You do your own lawn, garden and landscape care.
Tools and equipment need safe secure storage out of the weather if you plan to keep them around, and in good working order. Even if you use your garage to store such things, it is a good idea to store fuel and pesticides in a location away from your home for safety reasons. If you are an avid gardener, you probably need a potting shed, or at least a garden shed to store fertilizer and gardening materials.
Your health.
If you have little space for exercising and exercise equipment inside your home, and are tired of paying those expensive gym fees, you need a home gym. If your exercise equipment is stored in your garage, or has stuff stacked on top of it in your bedroom, a storage building can become a home gymnasium with a minimum of work, or you can move the other stuff out of the garage and into a shed to make room for setting upt the exercise equipment in your garage.
You have a clutter problem.
If you have piles and stacks of gadgets and gizmos in corners and in closets throughout your home that you can’t bare to throw away, give away, or garage sale away, you need a storage shed to store it away.
There are hundreds of other reasons, the few listed here cover most homeowners. The fact is, that almost everyone in the United States could use a little more storage space for something, if nothing else, just to get rid of the stress caused by clutter.
