Resources and Considerations for Your Shed Shopping
Our previous customers understand what it means to Get Mor With Stor-Mor, but if you are just starting to shop for portable storage buildings, "Mor" can be overwhelming! Especially if you aren't entirely sure what you are looking for yet. We're here to help you from the beginning to end, so you know what 'mor' to look for in your search for a new storage shed.
Pre-Purchase
How is the Storage Structure Going to be Utilized?
Before you get into looking at the options available for a new portable building, ask yourself how you intend to use the building.
Storage
Lawn Equipment, Garden Tools, Pool Supplies
Keep items stored together and protected from theft and environmental elements.
Work
Workshop, Fitness, Home Office
Dedicate the space to a particular function, whether that be work or a hobby, to keep your focus on the task at hand.
Recreation
She Shed/Man Cave, Playhouse, Hunting Cabin
Save a little slice of your yard as a personal area to relax and unwind.
Are There Any Zoning Requirements/Restrictions?
One of the most important steps before buying a shed, is to check if there are any zoning restrictions or required permits at your local city or county offices. These restrictions may limit the shed size or building style that you are permitted to put on your property. Additionally, Homeowner's Associations can often require other structures in your yard to be similar color and/or style to your home. Once you determine if there are any specifications that should be followed, that can help you narrow down the options.
What Is My Budget?
A portable shed is a significant investment for your property. There are many factors that can affect a building price, such as the quality, style, size, and additional options. You may find that a certain size is non-negotiable, but can stay within budget by opting for fewer add on features. We also offer several payment options to pay over time.
What Building Style Do I Prefer?
You'll quickly discover that portable storage buildings come in a large variety of styles and options, and those vary between shed manufacturers. Stor-Mor offers a large selection of building styles that are categorized into three general categories:
- Sheds: Offering both traditional lofted barns or utility styles as well as modern Garden Shed or Cottage Style buildings, sheds are a common storage choice for every backyard. (Select styles also available with Metal siding.)
- Cabins: A storage building with a porch is a very popular feature requested. Our cabin style buildings offer whole collection of porch configurations.
- Garages: When you need space for large items, a portable garage with roll-up doors maximize capacity and accessibility.
The delivery and installation process is one of the most exciting parts of shed buying! That's why it is so important to be prepared.
