No matter how modest, any backyard space attached to your home can prove useful—and one easy and popular way to level-up your backyard without too much work (or cost) is to install a backyard shed. If you’re lucky, there was already a shed in place when you bought your house, but you can buy a modest shed at your local hardware store for just a few hundred bucks (or opt for a shed that is essentially a separate structure for a few thousand—or build your own).
If you’ve got a backyard shed and you’re using it to haphazardly store the lawnmower and some gardening tools, though, you’re really wasting an opportunity. Backyard sheds are free real estate—you can do a lot more with one, from turning it into a chicken coup, a personal music studio, a tiny personal tavern, and more.
