The type of roof a wooden sheds has is the most common way of categorizing them. For instance, some types of roofs are lean-to, gambrel, salt box, etc. Since the type of roof the shed has doesn’t make much difference in how they are used, here is a different way to categorize them. They are listed and described below in five different categories:

1. Sheds for Storage

By far, the most basic shed is the storage shed. They consist of four walls, a roof, door, a floor and that’s about it. This is to keep out potential thieves. The floor can be made either out of wood on a frame or on a slab of poured concrete. Since space is usually at a premium in small storage sheds, its important to keep them well organized.

2. Garden Shed

Garden sheds are one of the most convenient items you could have for your garden – especially if your garden is a healthy distance from your main house. It becomes crucial to have a place to store your gardening tools so you can easily find them when you need them most. Garden sheds are also a great place to keep a potting bench and all your extra gardening supplies.
