For people looking to use their structures for their special plans it’s important to consider these important details.

 

1.  Make Sure And Buy A BIG ENOUGH Size Prefab Shed Structure!

Space gets used up fast in any prefab portable structure, make sure you get a large enough size shed that is big enough for what your going to use if for. For some people that might be a 12×16 size shed for a art studio, but for someone looking for a hunting cabin the might need a large 14×32 size shed, for them and their buddies! For a guesthouse or turning a shed into a airbnb rental or camping cabin rental you might want a or 12×36, 14×36 size shed or large 14×40 size shed structure! People have even turned framed shell structures into tiny homes through shed to home conversions so the can live off grid or homestead by putting a shed on a small piece of land like the early settlers!

2 Order It With Insulated Floors, Windows, And Doors!

You don’t want to buy a shed with non insulated floor, single pane windows, or wood barn doors if you plan to climate control your dream space in the future. Adding insulating products is a must if you plan to climate control your prefab shed structure! It may add several hundred or even a couple thousand to the storage shed prices but you will be glad you did when you can walk on a insulated shed floor and walk through a nice insulated house door for your shed and not wood barn doors.  Double barn doors are great for mower or equipment storage, but not for a climate controlled heated or cooled space.
