The corner of most properties is typically wasted space. With a corner garden shed, however, that wasted space can be transformed into valuable storage even as you improve the overall appeal of your yard.
When you are dealing with an angle, there are few options. Anything that you place there will have long sides with limited access. Many people choose to turn corners into play areas for their children. Many more will turn a boring angle into a garden or other feature. However, a much better use of this space would be to install a corner garden shed.
Corner Shelf Unit
When you think of a corner shed you may picture a triangular shaped structure nestled into the corner. However, these sheds are actually five sided, with the front of it resembling one half of a gazebo. Imagine how attractive such a unit would look in your yard. Not only will you have more useful space for storing all of your gardening tools and supplies, but your yard will visually look as if you have a gazebo occupying the corner.
A corner shed can be placed anywhere in your yard. You can use an outside angle that needs to be dressed up. You can also place it in an awkward angle off your patio or near the house. It offers you a great deal of flexibility in placement.
To make your unit look more like an extension of your home and less like a utilitarian structure, consider placing windows on the short walls that flank the door. Adding these little details will make your unit look decorative and increase the appeal of your yard.
Perhaps you want the shed to blend in with the yard. Climbing vines can be used to train climbing shell vine or hummingbird vine to cover the front of the structure. If you have a privacy fence, the unit can be stained the same color as the fence. This is ideal as it allows the eye to travel across the unit without really noticing it.
When you choose such a shed, you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of having it, while only surrendering a fraction of the yard space. Your dirt, fertilizer, mower, hand tools and other implements can all be stored safely and securely in it. Everything will be within reach at the moment you need it. Yet you will maintain most of your usable space in the yard.
The best part of a garden shed is that it can be cleverly designed and built to either blend in to the background, or to be an attractive architectural element. Many garden sheds are attractive, but the corner garden shed has the added benefit of resembling a classic and timeless gazebo.
