6x8 Wood Sheds

When compared to other sheds, a 6x8 shed is considered to be small, but it may be the perfect shed size to utilize your outdoor space to its fullest potential. You can use a 6x8 shed as a storage space for your garden tools, seasonal items, hobby supplies, or your bike. If you have a small backyard and don't have a ton of items to store, you can fit a 6x8 wood shed in the corner or alongside your home.

6x8 Shed Most Common Uses

Keep in mind that a 6x8 shed is too small to store large items, like ATVs, lawn furniture, or a lawn mower. You'll need to buy a larger shed to store big items like these. Another thing to consider is that with time you will always accumulate more stuff, so sometimes bigger is better.

While many items are too large for a small shed, there are steps you can take to maximize your 6x8 shed's storage capacity. You'd be surprised how much extra space you can create with extra shelves. Add some shelves on the side and back walls of your shed to store small items. This will free up floor space for larger items. If you do handy work around your home and need a place for your tools, you can also put up pegboard. Lastly, if you want to bring in natural light without compromising wall space, add skylights.

Yard Considerations for 6x8 Wood Sheds

Location

Consider that in addition to the dimensions of the shed, you’ll need to add a minimum of three feet of space to all sides for ease of passage.

Light

With a shed this long you may want to consider adding additional windows or skylights so you have the right amount of natural light to access stored items or work inside the shed.

Storage

As a shed that has more depth than width, consider the items you’d like to store within the floor space. Leave room between items for easy passage throughout the shed, making sure to leave room to access the very back.
