Which Size is Right For You?
Choosing the right size for your premium wooden outdoor structure is critical to ensure it meets your specific needs and fits well in your available space. This section will guide you through key considerations to help you select the perfect size for your shed.
Choosing The Right Location to Build
Choosing the right location for your shed involves several key considerations to ensure it remains safe, functional and durable. Keep these important points in mind.
Choose a spot in your yard with higher elevation, avoiding low lying areas where water may accumulate.
Consider surrounding objects and plan for minimally 3 feet of clearance on all sides of the structure for proper installation and accessibility. Also consider nearby trees/overhanging branches that could potentially cause damage to your structure. Also note, most permitting regulations require a 5 foot set back from property lines.
Select door and/or window placements that maximize natural light and vantage points for the best views from inside your structure.
Plan a location that maximizes the overall visual appeal of your new structure's setting, considering existing items such as landscaping, children's outdoor playhouses, dog houses, fire table area, swimming pool, etc.
Ensuring Building Compliance
Before installing your new outdoor premium structure from Best Barns, it's important to be educated on exiting city ordinances, permit requirements, and/or Homeowner’s Association (HOA) regulations to avoid legal ramifications in the future. Permitting is typically based on the structure's size and local building codes.
Contact your local HOA or local township government office to ensure compliance with any restrictions on building dimensions, siding, roof types, and foundations.
