Not every suburban home has a shed in the backyard, but where this is possible, there are many advantages, from extra storage space for the lawnmower, kids’ bikes and golf clubs to a place to work from when you are doing DIY projects. You can even clean it up for a teen’s birthday party or make it into a playroom for the children. You could sit there and do your own hobbies while they play.
But one thing you would probably be concerned about is what the shed looks like. If you have a house you are proud of, adding any kind of old shed will only devalue your property. That is why it is important to take care of the design and the materials used. Don’t find some cheap material that is already half-worn out for your shed. A new shed should be built with new materials so it looks spick and span, not like an old wreck.
If you have Colorbond roofing on your home, it is easy to build a shed to match by using the same material for the shed roof. In fact, Colorbond cladding can also be used too, either in the same colour or in one that matches the colour of the house walls. There are so many lovely colours to choose from in the Colorbond range that this will not be a difficult thing to do. Matching up the colours will unify the whole look of the home and shed.
