A She Shed? Yes, Please!

Move over Man Cave and make room for the She Shed. 

She Sheds are still trendy and are a pretty awesome space for ladies to have.  what are they? Well, in days past, ladies gave up the dirty old shed at the back of the backyard to their husbands or partners, preferring to take over a brightly lit attic or spare room.

Now women are discovering that when they’re out of the building, they get less requests that interrupt their “me” time. Sounds pretty smart, right?!

How to Create a She Shed

First step is to clean out the old backyard shed/kick your husband or partner out of it.

  • This step is actually a lot more work than people realize and leaves you with the issue of where to put everything.
  • Look no further than Storage Solutions! We have a variety of small sized indoor storage units (5x7, 5x10 & 5x18) and outdoor drive-up storage units (8x8 & 8x10) units that are perfect for the shed stuff.

2. Give your she shed purpose.

  • What's your passion or interests? It could be art, gardening, scrapbooking, crafting, sewing, reading, music or writing. It could even become a haven for just you to hang out in and simply enjoy.
  • No one is going to hold you to the purpose of your she shed, but you might to decide what you want to use it for before you paint, decorate, and especially before you renovate or make any upgrades like adding or removing windows, insulating walls, or adding lighting, electricity or heat. Some people really invest in these spaces because they want to enjoy them all year long.

3. Decorate and personalize your space! 

  • Painting is the most fun in our opinion and we love bright colours...but you do you and pick a colour that you love.
  • Depending on what you plan to do in your she shed, you may want cozy seating to curl up in or a sturdy worktable to craft or build on.
  • Don't forget about shelving, wall art, plants, and lighting.

The good news is that a she shed should be relatively inexpensive. Cleaning out, new paint and buying some décor at an antique market are part of the fun of the experience. Many dedicate their she shed to repurposing items, like an old wooden ladder, spending time painting the item and turning it into a plant stand.

Very reliable storage. A good solution to park your car and keeping it protected from all weather conditions. Although a bit remote location.. but the price and the service was worth it.

I went in to find out some information on storage units for when I move in a couple weeks and was happily surprised by the customer service I received. I had looked at a few other storage facilities in Woodstock but their customer service was terrible compared to Jared's from Storage Solutions. He was professional and understanding of my needs and was ready to help anywhere he could. I will definitely be spreading the word to any of my friends looking for units!

Great rates for a clean, secure, well lit place. Really good staff and a company that cares. New facility and the competitors are pretty tired looking and charging the same rates (if not a bit more).

My husband and I recently relocated from the US and needed a place to store all of our belongings while we secured a new home. The folks at Storage Solutions advised us on the right size unit for our needs, at the right price. They were kind and helpful with all of our "first-timer" questions. We were very confident in the security of the place, and had absolutely no issues. I would highly recommend and use them again if needed.
