What size storage shed should I buy?

I rent a home with no basement or garage. I decided that I should invest in a storage shed. I need to store 3 kids bike, lawnmower and some medium size containers (about 6, approx. 5x5), and some gardening tools. What is the smallest size that would work?

If it is okay with your landlord, and considering that you can take the shed with you when you move, I'd go for the largest that you can get -- if you have the space for it.

The cost is not much higher for the larger ones. Check prices, and determine the largest shed you can get for the least amount of money per square foot.

Please know, your city/county may have ordinances regarding shed size.

Where I live, you can have a 10/10 foot shed with no variance required. Larger than that, your're supposed to apply for a variance...but no one does!

Go larger rather than smaller. Stuff expands to fill the space!

6x4 foot, same size as a small box trailer and are a snap to put up and down. you also might want to look at concrete slabs (about 12''x12'') to make the floor if you don't already have a slab to put it on, or pavers or bricks are also good.

if you get a 10x12 youll have plenty of room incase something else needs storage;)
