How to Build a Garden Tools Shed Create lean-to storage with tongue-and-groove cedar

Sheds make great outdoor storage buildings that free up valuable space in your garage, basement and attic. The best sheds for storage will be durable, spacious and have built-in organization. Some types of sheds can double as both storage and workspaces. Whether you just need space to hold gardening tools or you need a workshop with plenty of storage shelves, this guide will help you determine the right size, materials and features to find the best outdoor storage sheds for you.

All the rust-resistant coating in the world won’t save your garden tools if you leave them outside all the time. To create a clean, dry, and accessible locale for your pruners and shovels, plant a handsome wood lean-to shed against the house near the patio or garden. If it’s made from cedar, a naturally rot-resistant wood, it will weather nicely while protecting your goods from precipitation and insects alike.

You can make one in a weekend out of off-the-shelf lumber or buy a panelized kit that screws ­together in under an hour. Once the quaint cabinet is in place, just remember to rinse off your tools and clean them occasionally with WD-40 before tucking them away. That’ll keep rust at bay for years to come.
