With winter fast approaching, time is running out to prepare. According to the custom home building experts at Slocomb, Alabama’s Trinity Metal Buildings, if winter sheds aren’t a part of your pre-winter plan, you should build one now before the temperatures drop. Whether you go with a barn, a woodshed, or just a small metal building, here are the top five reasons to set up a winter shed for the upcoming season.

• Extra Storage: Winter gear takes up tons of garage space, but it only gets used during one season of the year. A shed gives you a place to store your snow blower, snow shovels, ice melt, and even skis and snowboards, so that your other storage space is freed up.
• Protection: Something as simple as a small metal building can protect expensive machines like lawnmowers and snow blowers. Keeping them in a shed helps prevent rust and wear from the elements.
• Organization: If the first ice storm hits and you realize your car’s scraper has gone missing or the ice melt is buried under fifty pounds of mulch, you will not be a happy camper. A winter shed helps you get organized so you don’t lose the tools you need to get through the season’s worst.
• Winter Garden: Garden lovers use winter sheds to keep their thumbs green all year long. No reason to let Old Man Winter ruin your favorite hobby.
