Storage sheds
There are certain items that we've traditionally stored outside through the winter thinking they'll be fine. After this past winter – a particularly cold and wet one – we have decided that no, they are not all fine. Time to get a shed!

Before you purchase a shed, check what you're need to put in it. This will help you select the right size – not one too small to fit all your storage items.

When building, you can match the siding on your house with the siding on your shed. Gentek has some wonderful siding products that are modern and can match your house. They also have installation guides to help you do it yourself.
