Sheds are incredibly useful for storing tools, lawn equipment, or gardening materials in a safe space. If you want to build a shed for the outside of your home, you should first think about the purpose of the shed, how you’re planning to use it, and how easy it is to access in the given space you have. However, when adding a shed to your property, there are also specific factors you should keep in mind if you plan on building it close to a fence.

4 Considerations for Building a Shed Near a Fence

The following considerations should take place before actually installing or constructing a shed near the fence line of your property. Accessibility Make sure there is enough room around the shed to mow and clean between the shed and fence, but also keep in mind the size and movement of the door to enter and exit the shed. The recommended placement of a shed is near a paved path for easy access and reducing the risk of flooding.

Are metal or wood sheds better?

Metal sheds are more durable as they are fire, insect, rot, and weather resistant. They can rust, but they are more durable to the elements vs. wood. Resin is the most durable because it's weather-resistant to fading, rusting, warping, rotting, insects, and fire.

The final decision on what shed to purchase comes down to your personal preference. The differences between resin vs. wood vs. metal can be narrowed down into 4 categories: price, durability, maintenance, and assembly. When it comes to price, wood is the most expensive and least environmentally friendly option, the resin is the second-most expensive and the most environmentally friendly option, and metal is the cheapest but the hardest to transport and assemble. All three materials are durable and will be able to hold anything you store. But you’ll want to remember which options are going to last the longest through the harshest weather elements.
