Storage Building with Cover

So many gardeners have yet to dabble in the exciting world of greenhouse gardening because the initial amount of labor and the cost of setting up a hobby greenhouse can feel daunting.  Without knowing for sure if greenhouse gardening is going to suit them, gardeners often choose not to take the risk.  Very little labor, money, or risk is involved with an Easy Up Storage Shed, though, which can function very well as a temporary greenhouse.

Easy Up Storage Shed products are ideal for novice do-it-yourself enthusiasts.  Each kit comes with special stud andEasy Up Frame Storage Sheds angle brackets that allow homeowners to put together the frame of the storage shed with nothing more than a screwdriver and saw.  Once assembled, the storage shed frame is covered with either a silver, multi-use cover or a clear cover — perfect for greenhouse gardening.

For a small amount of initial labor and a very small initial cost, gardeners wanting to give greenhouse gardening a try can do so with an Easy Up Storage Shed and its clear cover.  If the greenhouse experiment is a success, then gardeners can choose to upgrade to a more permanent structure over the next few years.  If greenhouse gardening is a bust, on the other hand, the Easy Up Storage Shed can still be useful for storing gardening supplies or other outdoor gear.

Smart Solution: Burn the Midnight Oil with a Solar Shed Light

1 Comment

Problem: You regularly work on projects in your storage shed, garden shed, or greenhouse, but once the sunlight begins to fade, you are forced to abandon your work until the next day.  Interrupting a productive work cycle can be immensely frustrating.  What if the train of thought you were riding the previous day doesn’t come chugging back into the station?  Many projects ultimately go unfinished for this very reason.

Solution #1: Hire an electrician to run an electrical line from your house to the storage shed.  Unfortunately, this means tearing up part of your yard in order to accommodate the wiring.  Oh, and another thing…electricians don’t come cheap.

Solution #2: Attach an LED solar shed light to your storage shed, garden shed, or greenhouse, and get back to work.Solar Shed Light  Solar lights require no special wiring since they get their power from the sun, and there are no set up costs or operating costs beyond the initial purchase of the light.  Simply mount the accompanying solar panel to the sunniest side of your storage shed, and it will soak up the sun’s rays during the day.  The solar shed light then uses that stored energy to properly illuminate your task inside the storage shed until you are ready to pack it in for the day.

Thanks to smart solutions like the solar shed light, you can be the one who decides when work is finished instead of living at the mercy of the setting sun.

Rancher Storage Shed - 8 x 10

New Year’s resolution:  get organized!  Now is the time to take advantage of that motivating impulse to clean out those closets, clear out the basement, and donate all that miscellaneous stuff that you are saving “just in case.”  Don’t forget about your outdoor spaces, though.  Is your garage frustratingly cluttered with lawn equipment, bicycles and other sports gear, tools, garden supplies, and boxes of mysterious doo dads?Storage Shed

One of the best ways to organize your outdoor supplies, tools, and other gear is with a storage shed.  Storage sheds come in a variety of styles and sizes, so finding the right one for your needs is simply a matter of knowing how much space you require.  It’s a good idea to think ahead to future storage needs, too, and choose a storage shed that can accommodate some growth.  If looks matter, you should consider a cedar storage shed.  Cedar storage sheds make an attractive addition to any property, and they smell great.  Cedar is naturally resistant to insect infestation and decay, but a little basic care over the years will ensure a long life.

Organizing your home doesn’t need to be overwhelming.  Do a little at a time, and you will soon enjoy a less cluttered living space, inside and outdoors.
