POPULAR TYPES OF USED SHEDS
There are several common styles of used sheds, each suited for different purposes:
Garden Sheds: These sheds are typically small to medium in size and are used for storing lawn tools, equipment, and outdoor gear. They come in various colors and styles to blend in with your landscaping.
Tool Sheds: Designed specifically for tool storage, these sheds come with built-in shelves, pegboards, workbenches, and cabinetry to help you organize hardware and supplies.
Barn-Style Sheds: These sheds resemble miniature barns and often have gambrel rooflines. They may have a loft space for dual-purpose storage.
Wooden Sheds: Traditional sheds constructed entirely from wood with board-and-batten or T1-11 siding. Staining the wood helps protect it from sun, rain, and pests.
Consider the features and size you need, and then search for the shed style that fits your requirements in your local classifieds or from retailers offering pre-owned sheds.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS FOR USED SHEDS
While used sheds are generally durable, they may require occasional maintenance and care to keep them in good condition. Here are some tips for upkeep:
- Regular Inspections: Inspect the roof, siding, doors, and other components each season. Address minor issues promptly to prevent them from becoming major problems.
- Annual Cleaning: Clean the siding annually using gentle cleaners to remove mildew and grime. Avoid abrasive chemicals or high-pressure washing, as they can damage the surface.
- Metal Roof Maintenance: Reseal metal roofing every few years to prevent corrosion and leaks. This helps maintain the roof's integrity.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply WD40 or silicone spray lube to door hinges, hasps, and locks to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
- Caulk and Seal: Seal gaps and joints in the siding to protect against moisture and prevent pests from entering the shed.
- Consider Professional Help: If you're not confident in your skills, consider hiring a handyman for electrical, plumbing, or structural repairs that may be beyond your expertise.
- Renew Exterior Stain: For wooden sheds, renew the protective exterior stain when they start to look weathered. This helps protect the wood from the elements.
By staying on top of these basic maintenance tasks, you can extend the usable life of your shed for many years to come.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY OF BUYING USED SHEDS
Opting for a used shed is an eco-friendly choice that comes with several benefits:
Recycling Existing Buildings: Buying a used shed means recycling an existing structure, which reduces waste and lessens the demand for new materials like lumber and metals.
Promoting Reuse: Reusing goods in this way aligns with sustainable living practices by reducing the consumption of new resources.
Reducing Landfill Waste: Old and damaged sheds find renewed purpose instead of ending up in landfills, contributing to waste reduction.
Preserving Forests: Purchasing used sheds means no new trees need to be harvested for lumber, which helps protect our valuable forests.
Lower Energy Consumption: The production of used sheds requires less energy compared to manufacturing new structures, making it a more energy-efficient choice.
By seeking out quality pre-owned sheds before considering brand-new options, you not only benefit your wallet but also make a positive impact on the environment. It's a win-win for both your finances and the planet.
How to Transport and Install a Used Shed
When you find the perfect used shed, next comes the logistics of safely getting it home and set up. Here are some tips:
- Hire professional movers with lifting equipment and trucks if feasible. This is the easiest option.
- For DIY transport, rent a trailer or truck suited to the shed size. Use straps, ropes and trucker knots to secure the load.
- Obtain any necessary hauling permits for oversized sheds on roads.
- Drive slowly and carefully, avoiding potholes and sudden turns that could shift the shed.
- Have helpers unload to keep the shed steady. Avoid drops.
- Prep your install site with a flat, solid, level foundation like concrete pavers or crushed gravel.
- Anchor the shed securely to fortify against wind and storms. Stake down movable plastic sheds.
- Arrange for helpers, tools, equipment and permits in advance to make installation day go smoothly.
With proper transportation and site preparation, your used shed will be ready for safe use in no time. We offer free delivery within 30 miles and expert advice on installation and setup.
