How to make your shed a multipurpose space

Regardless of why you initially purchase a shed, it should be a usable space which complements the needs of day-to-day living.

And that means its function might be multi-purpose, catering to the various needs of your lifestyle over any year.

So here are the top tips to maximise your shed investment and make it a truly multipurpose space…

The endless uses for a shed

It might be called a shed, but the reality is this sheltered structure can fulfil a variety of needs.

In some cases it’s a workshop, in others it’s an extra entertaining area and for some it also serves as a games room.

Best of all, it can fulfil all these roles at a moment’s notice with a little planning and creativity.

Electricity and lighting

Electricity and lighting are huge drawcards for a shed, allowing you to use electrical tools and work at night.

And if you’re seeking to make your shed multi-purpose, electricity and lighting are a must. Lighting allows you to create a different ambience, while electricity enables you to add those little extras like a stereo, TV, games consoles or even some old school pin-ball machines.

Windows and doors

Natural light and extra entrances can make your shed feel more comfortable and more functional.

From access doors to additional windows and skylights, these are often easy to retrofit and readily available.

Good storage

If you want your shed to serve different purposes, good storage is a must. This keeps the area tidy and free of clutter, allowing it to be used in different ways at different times.

And that storage can be pretty creative, ranging from shelves to cabinets and benches, along with boxed storage solutions and racks.

Security

Finally, regardless of how you use your shed, it pays to secure the valuables stored within it, so turn your attention to shed security, including locks and perhaps even security lighting, CCTV, or an alarm.

Good shed security is worth considering at the best of times, but if it’s a multi-purpose shed which might hold a range of valuable equipment, that security is a definite must.
