How do I calculate my shed's storage capacity?

Storage capacity is measured in cubic feet (cu. ft.) and is calculated by multiplying the shed's length, width, and height. You can use an online storage calculator or manually measure your shed to determine its total storage space.

What width and depth should my shed be?

The width and depth you choose depend on the size of your belongings and how much you need to store. A smaller shed, like a 6x8, will be great for gardening tools or outdoor furniture. If you're storing a lawnmower, snow blower, or other bulky items, you'll need something bigger, like a <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Storage-Organization-Outdoor-Storage-Sheds/10-x-12/N-5yc1vZbtz2Z1z1bykq?emt=plpfaq_2502_sheds" style="text-decoration: underline;">10x12</a> or <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Storage-Organization-Outdoor-Storage-Sheds/12-x-16/N-5yc1vZbtz2Z1z1byfj?emt=plpfaq_2502_sheds" style="text-decoration: underline;">12x16</a>.
