Keep your yard neater and your tools protected.

If you’ve found that between your cars, power tools, and outdoor accessories, your garage is already packed to the brim, it may be time to invest in a shed to keep that clutter contained. Wood sheds are among the more attractive storage options on the market, giving you a place to safely house your tools and other outdoor essentials. A good wood shed can also last for years, and many are easy to build, too.

Wooden sheds are a great choice because they’re both attractive and durable. However, there are some things to consider before buying one for your outdoor space.

Wood sheds come in a variety of sizes; some are best suited for smaller tools, such as those used for gardening, while others are large enough to house bikes, lawn mowers, and outdoor furniture. Depending on how much stuff you need to store, you’ll want to consider the shed's finished dimensions and ensure to take accurate measurements of the outdoor space you're considering setting it up in.

Wood sheds can weigh upwards of a ton, making them relatively difficult to transport, especially if you're working alone. That not only means you may need help setting up your shed, but you should make sure you know where you want it to live before you start assembling it, as moving it may be a tricky proposition.

Wood sheds are often more expensive than their plastic or composite counterparts to begin with. Wood prices have also gone up in recent years, so expect to shell out a pretty penny for a quality model.

To find the best wood sheds on the market, we looked at popular models available via Amazon, Lowes, and Wayfair that have average user ratings of four stars or higher. We've also included a wide range of design styles, as well as sheds at various price points.
