A Shed For a DIY’er

Ben Uyeda knows all about the importance of quality. His blog, HomeMade Modern, covers DIY projects from furniture, to design elements, to décor, while focusing on quality. So when he came to The Home Depot and Tuff Shed in search of a storage building, he was right at home.

“I’ve always wanted a shed that could store my tools and function as a workshop,” says Ben. He was excited about the prospect of a new shed but he worried that he would be restricted by design limitations. When he logged on to Tuff Shed’s online configurator Ben was in awe of the possibilities.

He decided on a 10x12 TR-800, with an 8/12 roof pitch upgrade, two sets of double doors, two skylights, and one 3x2 window. Every part of the shed was chosen to serve a purpose. “People tend to over-pack their sheds,” says Ben, “I wanted two sets of double doors to be able to access each side of the shed, even if it was packed full.” He chose the window and skylights to allow even more natural light into the shed for filming his projects.
