5 Spring Activities and Your Backyard Shed

A backyard shed is the perfect place to store your lawn mower, tools, and other seasonal items. It’s also a great place to keep your bikes and outdoor furniture safe from the weather.

For new homeowners or families in a transition period, unexpected storage needs often arise, just because you don’t realize the sheer amount of space that one or multiple hobbies can take up. Whatever amount of storage space you need, or the accommodations you might need to go with your hobby, Better Built Barns can have a custom built shed together for you in no time. 

5 Spring Activities That Might Need a Storage Shed

1. Landscaping and Gardening — When it comes to keeping up with your garden or landscape on your own, there are a ton of factors that need to be considered. Fertilizing, weeding, pest control, fungicide, lawn mowing, weed eating, garden bed planting, mulch, potted plants, bush and tree trimming — these can all require multiple bags, pots, buckets, tools, and more. Not only that, many of the tools and resources you use to plant your garden or tend your landscape in spring are dangerous. Having a custom built shed for your landscaping and gardening equipment is a good way to keep both your materials and the people around your home safe.
2. Sports — Spring brings with it lots of new opportunities, not the least of which is to get outside and start hitting your favorite court, field, or natural playground. If you’ve just moved into a new home, you’re taking on a new hobby, or if you’ve got young ones  moving into playing sports for the first time, then chances are that you might need extra storage space to handle all of your new equipment. If you have more than one person in your home interested in sports, then baseball bats and gloves, shoulder pads, bikes, and other supplies can start to pile up quickly. Once you have all the needed equipment, you’re going to want to separate it for easy access and so none of your expensive toys get damaged.
3. Spring Holidays — Around the world, springtime is a time for many cultures to celebrate around themes of rebirth and new prosperity. While the U.S. doesn’t have a national celebration or festival to mark the spring, there are plenty of holidays and activities that give you a chance to celebrate the earth or at least celebrate the fact that it’s comfortable to be outside again. St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Earth Day, and Cinco de Mayo all provide ample opportunities to start being merry in the sun again. The celebrations you have will likely spill out to your backyard, with tables, grills, and coolers being gathering places for conversation. However, when your party is over, and you have to put away grills, decorations, kids toys, tables, chairs, and more, you may find that your only option is to shove it into a corner of your home where all the things get shoved into, lost, damaged, or tediously dragged out for next year. An extra storage shed to provide extra space outside of your home or garage could be the key to keeping all your outdoor celebration equipment safely in one place.
4. Hunting Season Prep — For hunters, especially those looking to have meat gathered for the entire year, spring is a season to start tuning up and licking your chops for the major upcoming hunting seasons. For those interested in small game, spring is an ample time of year for hunting. With small mammals near birthing season and few limits on them, hunters can start to build up their supply of meat again. For those looking for bigger game, spring is a time to prepare their hunting grounds for the fall and winter hunting seasons. Tending to a wide acreage and planting specific types of grass and other plants in order to draw the best game and provide them with ample food requires a ton of storage space. Whether you just need a small space to safely store your guns and perhaps keep a meat cooler, or you need a full garage to accommodate for the needs of maintaining hunting large acreage, Better Built Barns can provide the storage space, shed, or garage you need to keep up with hunting season.
5. Swimsuit Season — It’s a time of year that many of us dread, but when it’s in full swing, it’s hard not to have a good time. With the arrival of spring, many of us begin to start making efforts to trim down from our winter bodies because we know we’re going to be out on the water during spring and summer. Spring gives us our first taste and our first purchases of the season. If you’re going all out this year, you’re likely going to have some new things to store. Boats, water-skis, tubes, rafts, and more all take up a ton of space. Not to mention all the extra comforts you might take to the pool or beach with you. A new storage shed can give you a place to store your equipment so you’re not needlessly buying the same floaties year after year or making boat repairs that could have been prevented with proper storage.
