A tool shed would typically have shelves, benches, hanging areas, cabinets and storage chests. With much work being done inside the shed, it is necessary to have good ventilation and a strong foundation.

• Garden shed – built usually near a garden. This shed serves as storage for all the items that are needed to maintain a beautiful garden. A garden shed would need good storage areas such as shelves, cabinets and chests for storing chemicals and fertilizers as well as a safe area for storing sharp garden tools.
