Why You Need An Outdoor Storage Shed

<span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b>Ivy Delfin</b> tells of the many reasons to have a storage shed out in the garden and discovers that you could build that shed using various waterproof materials and colours to blend in with the landscape of your house.</i><br /> <br /> Whether you are a hoarding homeowner, have growing family needs to meet, or are after extra space for your flower pots, choosing an outdoor storage shed is a simple solution to combatting chronic overcrowding. An outdoor storage shed is a cheaper alternative to the ongoing monthly costs of storage units, and handily located in you own backgarden, a storage shed will provide you with easy access to your goods.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2u_ccJcQwaEeZxwJ2dWS2VWT9XVO5AcfO7TkUO0n50wQNovAZvNMULb9QPLnoYN2DDj6Aq2mAGKfNqiRVMP6dAflvecFMKOumkHS6LeR5OPlF2JrSNlZy9ga4tSPmmXAubb-AdBLxcyM/s1600/gs-01.jpg"><img border="0" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2u_ccJcQwaEeZxwJ2dWS2VWT9XVO5AcfO7TkUO0n50wQNovAZvNMULb9QPLnoYN2DDj6Aq2mAGKfNqiRVMP6dAflvecFMKOumkHS6LeR5OPlF2JrSNlZy9ga4tSPmmXAubb-AdBLxcyM/s320/gs-01.jpg" width="320" /></a><br/> <br /> <span class="fullpost">Outdoor storage sheds are waterproof and come in a variety of sizes to meet you needs now, and in the future. They can house as much as you can pack away including gardening gear and power tools, camping or fishing gear, folding chairs, cleaning products and even your family bikes and children's toys. You can make sure that your items are further protected by choosing concrete or wooden flooring.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWDYocnURq6wDeUrxqGqFRVLl2_oQ-5wK81-ikdQQPoPwRjbAL4j04Iv4_szO_1gjyPkPg2-SCyK9NAVcyWpIgexwRmDXDOse5bZptWVQDDZNKQVPXIjbRsae6vkrP_o7E3dWSMorrE1A/s1600/gable-doors-l.jpg"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWDYocnURq6wDeUrxqGqFRVLl2_oQ-5wK81-ikdQQPoPwRjbAL4j04Iv4_szO_1gjyPkPg2-SCyK9NAVcyWpIgexwRmDXDOse5bZptWVQDDZNKQVPXIjbRsae6vkrP_o7E3dWSMorrE1A/s320/gable-doors-l.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /> <br/> Gone are the days of the outdoor shed being just a flat, functional form in the garden. Companies like <a href="http://www.steelchief.com.au/"><span style="color: #011480; letter-spacing: 0px;">Steelchief Sheds & Barns</span></a> now customise outdoor storage sheds to align with the appearance of your property.<br /> <br /> You can have a storage shed installed in steel or wood, and built with a flat, skillion, gable or heritage roof. The windows and doors can be designed to meet your requirements.<br /> <br /> And an outdoor shed can even be constructed in the right colour to ensure it contributes to the value of your home and integrated into the surrounding landscape. Add a trellis to your shed and start growing some floral camouflage.<br /> <br/> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyS_zRUkkH3iD2Wx4Sen8GDnKNE8y9vtbb0JfBZeFUGyTjbZwfe71-6yJnkQVCI8JEcQynKeMK-h7VAg7S6u2Z4aOTu1QgYF9GMLGU7LlaurGKbeOuGJa5Jsg08M4dFZwf312DXPY9kn0/s1600/timber-m.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyS_zRUkkH3iD2Wx4Sen8GDnKNE8y9vtbb0JfBZeFUGyTjbZwfe71-6yJnkQVCI8JEcQynKeMK-h7VAg7S6u2Z4aOTu1QgYF9GMLGU7LlaurGKbeOuGJa5Jsg08M4dFZwf312DXPY9kn0/s1600/timber-m.jpg" /></a><br /> <br/> Check out ways that others have integrated sheds into their <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/"><span style="color: #011480; letter-spacing: 0px;">garden design</span></a>.

Ah Chui Nursery

<span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ah Chui Nursery is one of those nurseries that has a vast variety of plants for you to choose from. Even if you don't intend to buy any, you might end up getting some, like myself, haha... So if you have limited time for shopping plants, this could be a good vendor to visit.<br/> <br/> From outside (along the highway) you would already notice that they have a huge number of trees, palms and bonsais occupying a long stretch of land. As you enter the nursery, you will also find plenty of shade-loving foliage and flowering shrubs in small pots. They are all placed sheltered and arranged orderly on racks and you will have no problem inspecting each plant.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEippt_E9z3IAdlvAo5-1tP0_XN81W8LwgDkRaKsOYL-Wqm1hBWKl9070SBUaqe0YRyi9i3VDhZxNnWQ2eXEYqAXPgsfK-6ucP2p-S-K5uu8A9MNpySDpGz8CDtfF2M1wctrN7xsw6pzvc0/s1600/IMG_7895.JPG"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEippt_E9z3IAdlvAo5-1tP0_XN81W8LwgDkRaKsOYL-Wqm1hBWKl9070SBUaqe0YRyi9i3VDhZxNnWQ2eXEYqAXPgsfK-6ucP2p-S-K5uu8A9MNpySDpGz8CDtfF2M1wctrN7xsw6pzvc0/s320/IMG_7895.JPG" width="320" /></a><br/> <br/> <span class="fullpost">Ah Chui Nursery opens from 9.00am to 6.00pm daily. They have been in the business for about 10 years. Printed on their business cards are pics of beautiful bonsais which you can actually find at the nursery.<br/> <br/> I love the fact that the shades are high, hence making the place bright and airy. You can even drive in and park on the centre lane (it's not just a small path, mind you) instead of leaving your car by the side of the busy highway outside the nursery. It's almost like a drive thru' nursery!<br/> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_l4v463qZAi_0RrNX6VylQklP5kORjHxtmz9XQq2INCN0G2OkNbmfrL2_pmNbQgjxHa9Q6owEqVafR54z58IPvEOB9j2ZgHnOF6Q9NGp0RBhW9CKXX-l5Wn9vZFbQXe_t_tf7HgnwxqE/s1600/IMG_7958.JPG"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_l4v463qZAi_0RrNX6VylQklP5kORjHxtmz9XQq2INCN0G2OkNbmfrL2_pmNbQgjxHa9Q6owEqVafR54z58IPvEOB9j2ZgHnOF6Q9NGp0RBhW9CKXX-l5Wn9vZFbQXe_t_tf7HgnwxqE/s320/IMG_7958.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /> <br/> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Plant Variety Rating: 4.75</span> | Shrubs, bamboos, vines, aquatic plants and trees of many types.

Quality Garden Shed Adds Value & Style to Your Backyard

<span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>The story below by <b>Danielle McAnn</b> on quality garden sheds and how she uses the one in her own backyard is really interesting and a good read. Enjoy!</i><br /> <br /> The humble backyard shed is where I do my hobbies, store my valuable stuff, and do my projects. I think of it as my home in the backyard, my home inside my home.<br /> <br /> When you think about it, a shed can be just about anything. The definition of the 'shed' is so variable that it can be anything. It can look like anything too. It doesn't have to be a ramshackle, daggy looking thing. It can be any shape or size, and made out of steel, timber, iron, whatever you want.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.nationalsheds.com.au/"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkdI4RpRlQljNYAjyeO8UxU1SODUt2qulVrS_DC_gWCQSvscoDPcJGniWxJWhfOhIK_IwVN-uipd7BOqFYJi18OVgufsl5JNT-qnROxg_WZRmJteJ-Aq15CN4ddZlMB-fNBQ_QmKusRdA/s400/Skillion+Roof+Garden+Sheds.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> <br /> <span class="fullpost">A shed can be a stylish addition to your back yard, and it can give everything you do in your backyard a purpose and a centre to revolve around. A good quality shed can add value to your property as well. Who doesn't need more storage space? That's valuable.<br /> <br /> The secret to a clean, tidy and ordered home is having the right amount of storage space. I recently built a shed based on one I saw at <b><a href="http://www.nationalsheds.com.au/">National Sheds</a></b>. I don't know what I ever did without one anymore.<br /> <br /> If all you want is a solid steel box structure with a door and some hooks on the walls, that's ok. Or, maybe you want a double storey shed with windows and a gas and electricity connection. Hey, if the council says yes, why not! Just build your dream shed, whatever it is, because that way you will enjoy using it, which is after all the whole idea.<br /> <br /> <i><span style="color: #666666;">Danielle is a copywriter working with <a href="http://www.nationalsheds.com.au/">National Sheds</a>.
