Storage Sheds for Montgomery County Yards
Most people shopping for a shed want one thing: to get the mower, tools, and bikes out of the garage. The right storage shed is the one that fits what you own today and has a little room for what you'll add.
Start with what you're storing
Make a quick list before you look at sizes. Riding mowers and lawn tractors need a wide door and a ramp. Bikes take wall space more than floor space. Holiday decorations and bins stack well in an overhead loft. Long-handled garden tools hang on a wall rack. A list like this tells a builder far more than a size alone.
- Push mower, trimmer, and hand tools: often fit in an 8×10.
- Riding mower plus tools and bikes: many shoppers start at 10×12 or 10×16.
- Mower, snow blower, patio furniture, and seasonal storage: 10×16 to 12×16 gives room to walk around.
These are general starting points. Our shed size guide walks through the reasoning.
Tell us what you're storing and we'll suggest a size and style to start with.

Gable-roof styles like the peak and cottage sheds give you taller sidewalls, which helps with shelving and tall equipment. Barn styles trade some wall height for overhead storage in the roof.

Features that make storage easier
Double doors and a ramp
If anything with wheels goes inside, ask about double doors and a ramp. A wide door is far easier to get than to add later, and a ramp saves your back and your mower deck.
Loft or overhead shelving
Overhead lofts are a cheap way to add storage without a bigger footprint, especially in barn-style roofs.
Windows and vents
A window or two makes it easier to find things without electrical service. Ventilation helps with summer heat and moisture, which matters if you store gas-powered equipment.
Concept DesignBefore you order
Check your township's rules on setbacks and whether your shed size requires a permit, and check HOA rules if you have them. Measure the path from the street or driveway to where the shed will sit — delivery needs a clear route. The shed buying guide covers site prep and delivery in more detail.

Storage shed questions
What size storage shed do I need for a riding mower?
Many shoppers start with a 10×12 or 10×16 so there's room to drive in and still walk around the mower to reach tools. Measure your mower's width and length, including the deck, and allow space on each side.
Is a barn-style shed better for storage?
Barn (gambrel) roofs create more overhead space, which is great for a loft. Gable roofs like the peak shed often have taller sidewalls, which helps with wall shelving and taller equipment. It depends on what you store.
Can I get pricing for a storage shed here?
Yes. Use the shed assistant to describe your project, and when you're ready, request local pricing. Your request is shared with local providers so they can follow up.
