Comment choisir le bon emplacement pour votre cabanon d'entreposage

Choisir le bon emplacement est l’une des premières décisions que vous devrez prendre après avoir décidé d’investir dans un cabanon d'entreposage. En effet, l’emplacement de votre cabanon sur votre propriété a une grande influence sur sa taille, sa forme et le type de fondation dont vous aurez besoin. Prenez en compte les aspects suivants pour vous aider à choisir le lieu idéal.

Purpose How your outdoor building will be used is a crucial factor in deciding where it should be sited. If it will serve as a garden shed, you will want it near your garden and within a reasonable distance of a water source. If it will primarily be used for storage of bikes, lawn equipment, tools and other supplies, you will likely want the shed placed in a location that's accessible from the front yard. Thinking about the purpose of your shed can help you determine the most convenient location.

Aesthetics Do you want your shed to be front and center on your property, or would you rather it was tucked away in a corner of the backyard? An attractive shed can increase the value of your home when planned for and installed correctly, so don't be afraid to show it off! However, many homeowners want their outdoor building to blend into the surroundings. Your preference will affect where you put the shed.

Ground Conditions Soil conditions are often overlooked when considering a shed location, but they shouldn't be. Avoid low spots that become a puddle when it rains. Ideally, the location should be level with a slight grade to encourage water runoff, although many steps can be taken to securely place a shed structure on sloped ground.

Light Exposure Whether a shed is located in full sun or shade can greatly influence how comfortable your shed interior will be and how much you use it. If direct sunlight hits it for most of the day, the interior can be hot, and the exterior paint and roof may age faster. Light is particularly important for a garden shed, so take note of how much light reaches the area where you want to place a shed.

Local Ordinances Don't forget to check with your local planning and zoning department to determine if there are rules about where you can place a shed on your property. Some local codes mandate how close a shed can be to fences, trees, property lines and other buildings.
