Accessibility is key when it comes to sheds. Consider the purpose of your shed and how frequently you will need to access its contents. For example, if you’re using it for storing gardening tools, placing it centrally to your garden would be convenient. For commercial purposes, ensure that the shed is easily accessible for deliveries and operations.

Pay attention to the sun’s path throughout the day when selecting the placement of your shed. While sunlight is essential to prevent dampness and promote natural lighting, excessive exposure can cause wooden sheds to change colour as the wood will become lighter. Consider the orientation and angle of the sun to strike a balance between adequate sunlight and shade. At Tru-Bilt, we build our sheds from high quality steal, so if you’re looking for a more durable shed for your property, get in touch with us for more information.

Proper drainage is crucial to protect your shed from water damage. Ensure that the area where you plan to build your shed has good natural drainage or implement artificial drainage systems, such as gutters and downspouts.
Avoid placing your shed in low-lying areas or where water tends to accumulate, as this can lead to structural damage and rot.

A solid and level foundation is vital for the longevity of your shed. Choose a location that provides a stable base and minimises the risk of shifting or sinking. This will ensure that your shed remains structurally sound over time.

Consider the visual impact and privacy aspects when selecting the placement of your shed. If it is located in a prominent area, ensure it complements the surrounding landscape and architecture. For commercial purposes, consider the impact on neighbouring properties and aesthetics.

By taking these factors into account before starting the build, you can ensure that your shed is placed in an ideal location. For advice on where to build your shed, get in touch with the Tru-Bilt team today!
