Storage sheds at a glance
Types of storage sheds in this collection
Metal and steel garden sheds
Metal sheds are the largest group in this range. Each steel shed here uses galvanised steel with a sloped roof, air vents and lockable double or sliding doors. Many list a foundation kit. Sizes start at 4 ft x 5 ft (1.2 m x 1.5 m) for lean-to units. Tool houses reach 11 ft x 13 ft (3.4 m x 4 m). Grey is the most common colour.
Plastic and resin sheds
Plastic and resin sheds suit small and mid-size yards. Several have a floor, a window and lockable doors, and some use a wood-effect finish. Sizes include 4 ft x 3 ft (1.2 m x 0.9 m). Others reach 6 ft x 6 ft (1.8 m x 1.8 m). A plastic shed has panels that do not rust.
Wooden sheds and storage cabinets
Wooden sheds and outdoor storage cabinets hold tools and small gear. One cabinet measures 30 x 20 x 47 inches (76 x 51 x 119 cm). It fits on a patio. Wood models list asphalt roofs and shelves, and some use a steel frame.
Portable sheds and bike tents
Portable sheds use a galvanised metal frame with a waterproof cover, a vent and a roll-up zipper door. Sizes include 7 ft x 5 ft (2.1 m x 1.5 m). Larger ones reach 8 ft x 6 ft (2.4 m x 1.8 m). They hold bikes and tools.

How do you choose a shed?
Measure what you store
List your biggest items first, such as a mower or bikes, and add 30 cm (12 in) of clearance. A 6 ft x 4 ft (1.8 m x 1.2 m) shed suits hand tool storage. An 8 ft x 6 ft (2.4 m x 1.8 m) shed holds a mower and bikes.
Pick the material
Galvanised steel resists rust and suits most yards. Plastic and resin need little upkeep. Wood has a natural look but needs sealing. Compare roof and wall details on each product page.
Plan the base
A level base keeps doors aligned. Gravel, patio stones or a concrete slab all work. Many metal sheds list a foundation kit, and some plastic sheds include a floor.
Check doors and access
Wide double doors help when you roll out a mower. A lockable door adds basic security. Roll-up zipper doors on portable models are easy to open but offer less security.
Where do sheds work best?
Garden sheds work best at the edge of a yard, close to the lawn and beds they serve. Keep the doors facing open space so a mower rolls out easily. Pair a shed with raised garden beds for a tidy gardening corner.
Bikes and seasonal gear fit well in a portable shed or a small bike shed beside the house. A lean-to shed has one sloped roof and sits against a wall or fence. For a single bike, compare bike parking stands.
Small patios and townhouse yards suit compact plastic sheds or an outdoor storage cabinet. They keep cushions, tools and watering gear off the ground. For smaller items, see patio storage boxes and tool organizers.
How do you set up and care for a shed?
Build on a level base and assemble the shed on a calm day with a helper. Keep air vents clear to limit condensation. Brush heavy snow off the roof, wipe plastic panels with soapy water and check door hinges each season. Rules on shed size and distance from property lines vary by municipality, so check local requirements first.

Shed questions and answers
What size shed do I need?
List your largest items first, then add about 30 cm (12 in) of clearance. A 6 ft x 4 ft (1.8 m x 1.2 m) shed suits hand tools. An 8 ft x 6 ft (2.4 m x 1.8 m) shed holds a mower and bikes. Sizes here run up to 11 ft x 13 ft (3.4 m x 4 m).
Do metal sheds rust?
Galvanised steel has a zinc coating that slows rust, so it suits most outdoor sheds. Scratches can expose bare steel, so touch up chips. Keep air vents clear to limit condensation. Plastic and resin panels do not rust.
Do I need a foundation for a shed?
A level base helps every shed. Gravel, patio stones or a concrete slab all work. Many metal sheds list a foundation kit, and some plastic sheds include a floor. Check each product page for what comes in the box.
Can a shed handle Canadian winters?
Sheds are made for outdoor use, but snow load varies by model. Brush heavy snow off the roof and keep the door clear. Anchor the shed to its base. Check the product page and local building advice before winter arrives.
Do I need a permit for a shed?
Rules vary by municipality. Many set limits on shed size, height and distance from property lines, and larger sheds may need a permit. Check with your local building office before you buy or assemble a shed.
What is a portable shed?
A portable shed is a tent-style shelter with a galvanised metal frame and a waterproof cover. It has a roll-up zipper door and a vent. Portable sheds suit bikes, tools and seasonal gear, and they are lighter than a solid shed.
Is shipping free on sheds?
Orders over $150 ship free in Canada. Delivery details show on each product page, so check them before you order. You can return unused items within 14 days of delivery, and the refund policy lists the steps to follow.
