8 x 10 storage sheds are ideal even for the small backyard Like we discussed previously, the 8 foot by 10 foot storage shed is about the size of an average parking spot. This means that the shed will fit easily into almost any small backyard. 8 x 10 storage sheds are affordable When was the last time you spent a lot of money on something and hated it? Maybe it was the “steal of a TV” on black Friday, the car you could afford when you were 16, or that “flip house” that became a huge flop! When you buy an 8 foot by 10-foot storage shed you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank to store what you need. Our 8×10 ft storage sheds start out at the price of a few thousand dollars. We know this may not be as “affordable” as some of the big box store’s plastic resin sheds. However, we are confident that our storage sheds will outlast what others may see as the “competition” and will be cheaper in the long run.

People may need more space for their hobbies, belongings or office space. For instance, if you are wanting to have multiple riding mowers or multiple atvs in a storage shed the 8 foot by 10 foot storage shed is not going to be able to meet the needs that you have. One upgrade you can make instead of going with a bigger size is getting a model that will accommodate installing some extra loft space. When you work with a reputable builder, like Beachy Barns, we will be able to offer you advice on what size shed you will need. We love assisting our customers in guiding them in the right direction if moving up to a bigger storage shed size is needed or if adding a loft will serve the purposes better. Fortunately, all of the shed styles that Beachy Barns builds are able to be built to a bigger size if you so need! An 8 x 10 shed size may be too small for your windows and doors When you have your 8 foot by 10 foot shed built, you have ideas of how you want it to look and function. For the most part, you will be able to have those needs met in your design. However, some features may not be available in the way you had hoped. An example of this may be how many doors you want on your building or where the doors are located.
